Fire Grid Command Event Externally

[Jon]

Hello,

I have a RadGrid where I want to initiate an "InitInsert" command to open a Web User Control for a grid insert.
The command event needs to fire from a button outsite the grid.
I have been able to do this with the following code associated with the button's "Click" event.
But, this only works when there are dataitems assoicated with the grid.
How do I use the "FireCommandEvent" when there are no Grid Data Items? Or, is there another work around?

Thanks,
Jon

protected void btnAddNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridDataItem gridItem = rgStoreManagement.Items[0];
gridItem.FireCommandEvent(RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName, String.Empty);
}

Hi Jon,

Try the following code snippet.

C#:

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    rgStoreManagement.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;
    rgStoreManagement.Rebind();
}
