DetailsView Default Mode

[Olivier Matrot]

Hi all,
I'm working with a detailsview control which default mode is set to
'Insert'.
This control has AutogenerateInsertButton set to 'yes'.

So basically, I'm always in insert mode, and I have only one field to
display. The problem is that there is an auto generated 'Cancel' button
which has no means (Cancel buttons revert to the default mode that is Insert
!). I would like to delete this button at runtime. Is it possible without
switching to AutogenerateInsertButton = false ?
TIA.

detailsview.

(4) and convert it into button with ctype. and u can get access to that
button.

Hi Olivier,

Internally, the DetailsView dynamically creates a CommandField and set its
properties ShowInsertButton, ShowDeleteButton, ShowEditButton according to
the DetailsView's properties AutoGenerateInsertButton,
AutoGenerateDeleteButton, AutoGenerateEditButton. The CommandField has an
extra property called ShowCancelButton which could let you control whether
or not to show the Cancel button. Unfortunately, the CommandField is
internal to the DetailsView and there's no public property to retrieve it.

However, DetailsView let you provide a CommandField in the Fields
collection. You could turn off all those AutoGenerate* properties and
provide a CommandField yourself:

<aspetailsView ID="detail1" runat="server" DefaultMode="Insert"
AutoGenerateInsertButton="false" AutoGenerateEditButton="false"
AutoGenerateDeleteButton="false">
<Fields>
<asp:CommandField ShowInsertButton="true"
ShowCancelButton="false" />
</Fields>
</aspetailsView>


Hope this helps.
