auto generated edit command (gridview)

[JohnE]

In the gridview control there can be autogenerated commands (Select, Edit,
etc). When Edit is selected, two other commands appear, Update and Cancel.
Is it possible to have commands appear when the Select command is used?
These other commands would appear and disappear in the same manner as those
do when Edit is used. If it is possible, how is something like that
accomplished? Examples/samples are good as well as links to sites.
Thanks... John

If you explicitly code the tags, you can set up as many button fields
(ButtonColumns) as you desire, with each accomplishing a different thing.

This can be done in the code, as well:

right direction.
