How to get controls in InsertItemTemplate to show in a GridView

I consider myself at intermediate level with the GridView. So far my understanding of it has come pretty easy to me, that is until I think I need to use the InsertItemTemplate. I could use the Footer to do my "add new" record but I have 19 fields I need the user to enter data into, I want to put it all into one column formatted using a . It works and looks great in the EditItemTemplate and the EmptyDataTemplate. I just can't figure out how to get the controls in the InsertItemTemplate to show. If I could figue out how to format the Footer to only show/use one wide column with my I would use that because I understand the Footer and have used it a lot up to this point.

Any way, here's my grid. I apologize for the size. There are a lot of fields.

<InsertItemTemplate>

I couldn't figure this out and so I put the "insert" feature in a panel outside the grid and populated it that way. Works fine. Wish I didn't have to do that. Oh well.
