Using Telerik’s RadGridView, one can connect the add, update, cancel and delete command to RadButtons by setting the

Command="telerik:RadGridViewCommands...."

properties of the buttons and link to the grid by setting the

CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=GridViewName}"

property.

For some reasons, I needed to disable the buttons, depending on the rights the currently logged in user has. Setting

button.IsEnabled = false;

during runtime did not work, for whatever reasons. But setting

button.CommandTarget=null;

during runtime, without disabling the button, worked fine. Resetting the button’s CommandTarget to the associated RadGridView re-enabled the button.

I tend to call this a bug. Luckily, there is an easy work around.
