Disabling Bound Fields through code

You can make a bound field as read only or hide the Lookupbutton of the bound field through code in the page load event.

For example

...

AxBoundField boundField = AxGridView1.Columns[i] as AxBoundField;

boundField.ReadOnly = true;

...

 

or

 

...

AxBoundField boundField = AxGridView1.Columns[i] as AxBoundField;

boundField.LookupButtonDisplaySettings = LookupButtonDisplaySettings.Never;

...

 

If they do want to hide the lookup for specific rows, then they should use a  template field instead of the AxBoundField. For example ,

 

 In the below code DataSet Name is DemoSet, Table Name is Table1 and FieldName is AccountNum

asp:TemplateField ConvertEmptyStringToNull="False"

            HeaderText="<%$ AxLabel:@SYS1996 %>" SortExpression="AccountNum">

            <EditItemTemplate>

                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"

   Columns="<%$ AxDataSet:DemoSet.Table1.AccountNum.DisplayLength %>"

                    Enabled="<%$ AxDataSet:DemoSet.Table1.AccountNum.AllowEdit %>"

                    MaxLength="<%$ AxDataSet:DemoSet.Table1.AccountNum.StringSize %>"

                    Text='<%# Bind("AccountNum") %>'></asp:TextBox>

                <dynamics:AxLookup ID="AxLookup1" runat="server" DataLookupField="AccountNum"

                    DataSet="DemoSet" DataSetView="Table1" TargetControlId="TextBox1"

      Visible="<%$ AxDataSet:DemoSet.Table1.AccountNum.AllowEdit %>">

                </dynamics:AxLookup>

            </EditItemTemplate>

            <ItemTemplate>

                <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("AccountNum") %>'></asp:Label>

            </ItemTemplate>

        </asp:TemplateField>

Code Behind to hide the lookup control conditionally and disable the cell

protected void AxGridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

    {

        if (e.Row != null && e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

        {

       /* disable the thrid column which displays accountnum and hide the lookup if the second field value is 1

            DataSetViewRow dataRow = (DataSetViewRow)e.Row.DataItem;

  bool isInternalProject = dataRow.GetFieldValue("Field2").ToString() == "1";

            if (isInternalProject)

            {

                Control c = e.Row.Cells[2].FindControl("AxLookup1");

                if ( c!= null)

                    c.Visible = false;

                e.Row.Cells[2].Enabled = false;

            }

        }

  Hi Friends! I am having a trouble, please guide me as I am strucked and cannot work further... I am having a form on EP which have the the dataSet from AX. Form is opened in Insert Mode. This form is of "Leave Request". I need to perform some action on the basis of some values. All the fields on the form are AxBoundFields used in AxGroups. For example I want to calculate the date difference between the "Leave Start Date" and "Leave End Date". Should I need to attach the event with "OnDataChanged" event of "Leave End Date" AxDataBound field? I am doing bt it is not effecting. Secondly, there is a AxCheckBoundField, I need to hide/unhide some AxBoundFields on the basis of that AxCheckBoundField. I attached the event , it is hiding and unhiding correctly bt the problem is when the event is fired, all the values in AxBoundField are lost.... I am not understanding, what's happening.. Please reply me as soon as possible... bcz it is pending my whole work Remember, I am setting the page as Insert Mode in Page_load event. Thanks in Advance. Ehtasham. ehtashamrahman@gmail.com
