disable button in gridview - asp.net

Question

I have a Gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="gvtransaction" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="60%" OnRowDataBound="gvtransaction_RowDataBound" >
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblid" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("id") %>' Visible="false"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Consumer">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblfirstname" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lbllastname" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LastName") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Amount">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblamount" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Amount") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblcurrencyID" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("CurrencyID") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Account Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblcurrencyname" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("CurrencyName") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblstatus" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Status") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="DateCreated">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lbldatecreated" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DateCreated") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnApprove" runat="server" Text="Approve" OnClick="btnApprove_Click"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnReject" runat="server" Text="Reject" OnClick="btnReject_Click" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
here is the code for the onclick = "btnApprove_click():
GridViewRow row = ((Button)sender).Parent.Parent as GridViewRow;
string id = ((Label)row.FindControl("lblid")).Text;
Response.Write(row.RowIndex);
string ApprovedStatus = "Approved";
Button btnApprove = (Button)sender;
btnApprove.Enabled = false;
string status = ClassBiller.ConsumerAcceptedStatus(int.Parse(id), ApprovedStatus, DateTime.Now);
ViewPendingConsumer(); //rebind gridview para magEffect yun update
my concern is, how can i disable the buttons inside my gridview when i clicked either the Approve Button or the Reject Button.
sample scenario:
when I click Approve, the buttons should be disabled so that the it will prevent the user to click the button again..
I have read some articles which suggests the use of gridview's onrowdatabound..But i am confuse on how to do it...
I tried using
row.Enabled = false;
still doesnt work...
help please..
thank you

Answer 1

You can try to disable the button inside its click event. But when your gridview databinds again, the button will be enabled back..
protected void btnApprove_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button btnApprove = (Button)sender;
btnApprove.Enabled = false;
}

Answer 2

Try to use rowdatabound event of Grid View, Firstly Find the control by using FindControl method like
protected void gvtransaction_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// For `Approve` button
Button btnapprove = (Button)e.Row.FindControl("btnApprove"); // give property id of button form template field
btnapprove.Enabled = true; //true means enable else you may set false to disable button
// For `Reject` button
// Same condition but in `FindControl` method use `btnReject` id.
}
}
That's for Approve button For Reject button you may use same logic.

This is all you need to do, where Cells[5] is the cell where you have your Button, had the same problem and it worked for me.
protected void gvtransaction_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
e.Row.Cells[5].Enabled = false;
}
}
