Hide/Show or Enable/Disable radiobuttons in datagrid column

I have a datagrid. Column 3 has 2 radio buttons aligned vertically. Depending on values in a hidden column, I want the set of radio buttons in column 3 to either show or not show. One row might have them showing and the next row might have them hidden.

Is this possible? If so, how do I do it from VB code? Or is it better done in ASP?

Alternatively, I could always have them showing but have them either enabled or disabled.

The radio buttons are always in column 3.

I want them to show/enable in row 1 of column 3 and the hide/disable in row 2 of column 3, depending upon a value in a hidden column 1, say.

The column itself will always be visible, while the radio buttons might or might not be visible, depending on the value for that row in the hidden column.

Hi wsturdev,

why dont you use ComboBox insted of radio buttons ???

wsturdev

Because the customer prefers a set of radio buttons, if possible. I can resort to combobox if necessary, but only if I positively not use radio buttons.

But, even with a combobox, can I hide it/show it in different rows based on a value?

Hi Again,

it was just a suggestion ... BUT the Customer always right

with ComboBox you can add None,Yes,No [ None like Select nothing]

I am awarding you the points because your responses spurred some analysis and I found an answer. Rows either have the radiobuttons enabled or disabled based on a value from a hidden column.

Here is my solution, for the record:

Dim iRow As Integer
Dim iRowsToScan As Integer
iRowsToScan = QuestionDataGrid.Items.Count
For iRow = 0 To iRowsToScan - 1
'Enable/Disable Yes-No
If QuestionDataGrid.Items(iRow).Cells(6).Text = True Then
QuestionDataGrid.Items(iRow).Cells(3).Enabled = True
Else
QuestionDataGrid.Items(iRow).Cells(3).Enabled = False
End If
Next
