ASP - Gridview

[WayDownUnder]

I am trying to findout which column the user clicked on in a gridview.

column 0 = CommandField ( view)
column 1 = CommandFiled ( edit)

When the event grdTemp_SelectedIndexChanged
occurs on the server I want to know which column was selected
eg do somthing when view pressed do somthing else when edit pressed.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thank you for your post!

Based on my understanding, the SelectedIndexChanged event is occurred when
a row's Select button is clicked, it has nothing to do with which column is
clicked or selected.

You can set property AutoGenerateSelectButton="true" and
AutoGenerateEditButton="true" to generate two columns of "Select" and
"Edit". When a user clicks the "Select" link to select a row, the event
SelectedIndexChanged is triggered. When a user clicks the "Edit" link to
edit a row, the event RowEditing is triggered.

Hope this helps. If anything is unclear, please feel free to post here.

Hello Walter,
I suppose what I am saying is if you have many commandField Columns in a
gridview. When you click on on of the columns . How on the server can you
tell which command button was pressed ?
Is there another event raised by the commandfields other than
"SelectedIndexChanged "

ps.
I would rather not use AutoGenerateSelectButton="true" and
AutoGenerateEditButton="true". I want to change the look of these two
columns to
contain a image rather than words. Like you can do with a command button

Thanks

Walter thanks once again for your help.
Found a soultion.
The commandFields are fine they work as expected
Problem was I set the two commandfields to ShowSelectButton = true.
The view button was correct ShowSelectButton= true.
The edit button was incorrect should have been set to ShowEditButton = true.

These are properties of the commandfields.
They raise the same events now the autogenerate buttons generate, but now I
have a pretty Icon in each cell .

Thank you for your update.

Besides using <asp:CommandField> to add button fields, you can also use
<asp:ButtonField> to add custom button fields other than those built-in
commands. For these commands, you can use the RowCommand event to handle
their click event, and you can distinguish them by the event parameter
GridViewCommandEventArgs.CommandName property which is set when defining
those button fields. For more information, please refer to MSDN
documentation on GridView's RowCommand event.

Have a nice day.
