I have defined my editmode template in which there is a textbox and two buttons....And i have put up an GridEditCommandColumn on each row as well. I need to put the row in edit when that GridEditCommandColumn is clicked, but at the client side.

Hi Saadi,

You can set a row in edit mode on client side using the following code snippet.

JS:
<script type="text/javascript"
  function SetEdit() 
  { 
  var masterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView(); 
  masterTable.editItem(masterTable.get_dataItems()[0].get_element()); 
  } 
   
</script> 

editItem

Hi Saadi,

Access the Edit linkbutton in the code behind and attach the OnClick client event to it as shown below.

ASPX:
 <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn   UniqueName="EditCol"  ></telerik:GridEditCommandColumn> 

CS:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem) 
        { 
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item; 
            int rowIndex = item.ItemIndex; 
            LinkButton editBtn = (LinkButton)item["EditCol"].Controls[0]; 
            editBtn.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return EditItem('" + rowIndex + "');"); 
        } 
   } 

JS:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
         
          function EditItem(rowIndex) 
          { 
          var masterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();  
          masterTable.editItem(masterTable.get_dataItems()[rowIndex].get_element()); 
         
          } 
        </script>

Hi saadi,

The GridEditCommandColumn is used to automatically enter the grid in edit mode. If you use it, you do not need to call any additional server or client code in order to turn a grid item into edit mode.
However if you would like to invoke grid item editing with client-side code, I suggest that you use GridTemplateColumn with button inside it:

<script type="text/javascript">    
function EditItem(rowIndex)    
{    
    var masterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();     
    masterTable.editItem(masterTable.get_dataItems()[rowIndex].get_element());    
}    
</script>    
 
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn">  
    <ItemTemplate> 
        <input id="btnEdit" type="button" value="Edit" runat="server" /> 
    </ItemTemplate> 
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn> 
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)  
{  
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)  
    {  
        HtmlInputButton btnEdit = (e.Item as GridDataItem)["TemplateColumn"].FindControl("btnEdit"as HtmlInputButton;  
        btnEdit.Attributes["onclick"] = "EditItem(" + e.Item.ItemIndex + ")";  
    }  

Let me know if this helps.
