accessing the menu bar buttons

[Jason]

Hi

my aim is create my own ADD, Edit, Delete and Cancel outside the build in menu strip.

I am having trouble trying to execute the commands outside the build in menu strip buttons, just wondering if any one can give an example on how to execute the events.( ADD, Edit, Delete and cancel )

cheers

Hi Jason,

You may benefit from the built-in commands of the RadDataForm. For example:

<StackPanel Grid.Row="1">
            <telerik:RadButton Content="Add" Command="telerik:RadDataFormCommands.AddNew" CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=DataForm1}"/>
            <telerik:RadButton Content="BeginEdit" Command="telerik:RadDataFormCommands.BeginEdit" CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=DataForm1}"/>
            <telerik:RadButton Content="Delete" Command="telerik:RadDataFormCommands.Delete" CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=DataForm1}"/>
        </StackPanel>

Hello Jason,

A command from the RadDataFormCommands can be defined and executed as follows:

private void RadButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var addNewCommand = RadDataFormCommands.AddNew as RoutedUICommand;
            addNewCommand.Execute(null, this.DataForm1);
        }

Just one more question, is it possible to load up the dataform as a add new item, if it is possible can you please kindly post an example
cheers

Hello Jason,

You may handle the Loaded event of the data form and call AddNewItem() method:

private void DataForm1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.DataForm1.AddNewItem();
        }

 

Kind regards,
