Question

I have this Telerik radgrid

| Encryption Key | Password to encode | Edit column |
-----------------------------------------------------
|    A_Key       | A_password         | Edit button |

When I press the edit button, you can edit the encryption key and the password via textboxes (which works fine).

What I want to do is:

-When I press the edit button, I want to add an imagebutton next to the encryption key textbox that will allow me to generate a key by clicking it, like so:

| Encryption Key        | Password to encode | Edit column |
------------------------------------------------------------
|[A_Key     ][Generate] | [A_password      ] | [Save]      |

Is there a way to add a button inside an editor cell of a Telerik RadGrid?

I have looked everywhere, I haven’t found any way to do this, even on the Telerik website/forums.

Thanks!

Finally, I have used a solution similar to Dhaval’s. Using server side controls wasn’t optimal for me, so I used jquery to generate keys client side.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Generate" DataField="" HeaderText=""  AllowFiltering="false">
    <ItemTemplate>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <img id="Generate" src="Images/generate.gif" onclick="javascript: GenerateEncryptionKey();" alt="Generate key" title="Generate key"/>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

What this will do is it will create a column for the button only. Using CSS, I can make it look like a single column.

| Encryption Key |            | Password to encode | Edit column |
------------------------------------------------------------
|[A_Key         ]| [Generate] | [A_password      ] | [Save]      |

I’m not displaying column lines, so it looks like 1 large column rather than 2 small columns.

Thanks to all for your answers!
