Can you have conditional FieldTemplate Assignments ?

Question

User1682745178 posted

Is it possible to place a conditional-type statement on the UIHint (or perhaps the entire DynamicField statement)....?  For a given field (like EmployeeMaster), I'd like to use "ForeignKey_ReadOnly" in some instances and "ForeignKey_Filter" in others...

 Thanks...!

<Columns>

<asp:DynamicField DataField="Company" UIHint="ForeignKey_ReadOnly" HeaderText="Company" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="PayrollPeriod" UIHint="ForeignKey_ReadOnly" HeaderText="PR Period" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="Date" HeaderText="Date" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="EmployeeMaster" UIHint="ForeignKey_Filter" HeaderText="Clock Number" />

<asp:DynamicReadOnlyField DataField="LineSeq" HeaderText="Line Seq" />

<asp:DynamicReadOnlyField DataField="RecType" HeaderText="Rec Type" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="PayCode" UIHint="ForeignKey_Filter" HeaderText="Pay Code" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="PositionCode" UIHint="ForeignKey_Filter" HeaderText="Position Code" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="PayRate" HeaderText="Pay Rate" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="Hours" HeaderText="Hours" />

<asp:DynamicField DataField="Earnings" HeaderText="Earnings" />

No, but you can in DynmaicControl which means you would:

<?xml:namespace prefix = asp /><asp:TemplateField class=st HeaderText="<asp:DynamicControl class=st runat="<asp:DynamicControl class=st runat=" 
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ProductID" InsertVisible="False" SortExpression="ProductID">
	<EditItemTemplate>
		<asp:DynamicControl runat="server" Mode="Edit" DataField="ProductID" UIHint="Enumeration" />
	</EditItemTemplate>
	<ItemTemplate>
		<asp:DynamicControl runat="server" Mode="ReadOnly" DataField="ProductID" UIHint="Text" />
	</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
 </asp:TemplateField>

 </asp:DynamicControl></asp:DynamicControl>

Thanks, Steve...!  I need to do a little more research (to understand what drives the "mode"), but it looks like exactly what I need.

I really appreciate it...
