Grid - custom Create button, instead of toolbar.Create()

[Edin]

Hello,

I'm trying to trigger the Create operation using the custom button (created by using custom header template of the custom column, as shown on the screenshot) - in order to avoid use of the grid toolbar. Is there a way to bind the Create operation to the custom control, on the grid?

Regards

Hello Edin,

In order to add a new row to the grid you can use addRow method. Generally you need to call a javascript function and get the grid object.

Works perfectly - thank you!

columns.Template(@<text></text>).HeaderTemplate("<span class='addGridRecordBtn' onclick='addGridRecordBtnClick()' style='cursor:pointer;'><i class='fa fa-plus'></i></span>").Width(10)

function addGridRecordBtnClick() {
     var grid = $("#GridTradeGroup").data("kendoGrid");
     grid.addRow();
}
