Where do I set to ignore the [Save changes] button that will be doing the update?    I get the same prompt that changes will be lost.

How do I skip [Save changes] button from batch Edit to trigger cancel prompt?

    // Prevents other RadGrid commands
    functionLibrary.gridCommand = function (sender, args) {
        if (changesString.length > 0 && !confirmationHandled) {
            confirmationHandled = confirm(message);
            args.set_cancel(!confirmationHandled);
        }
    }

Hello Lenny,

The latest release version of the controls introduced a new OnUserAction client-side event handler which makes this requirement a much more straightforward task. You can subscribe to this handler and cancel it depending on some specific conditions:

Hope this helps.

Thanks, the sample code for OnUserAction doesn't prompt for these actions that would lose the changes:

1. Closing browser
2. Clicking on Refresh button

How can I add those two actions to the prompt?

[Lenny_shp]

I switched from OnUserAction to OnCommand to capture the [Refresh] button and custom filter.
I guess there is no easy way to incorporate the browser exit warning via this method.

<ClientEvents OnCommand="CheckChanges" />

            function CheckChanges(sender, args) {
                if (sender.get_batchEditingManager().hasChanges(sender.get_masterTableView()) && (args.get_commandName() != "BatchEdit") &&
                    !confirm("Unsaved changes will be lost.  Proceed?")) {
                    args.set_cancel(true);
                }
            }

Hi Lenny,

You can check the sample mentioned in your first post to implement browser preventing:

// Prevents closing the browser or navigating from the page
window.onbeforeunload = function () {
    if (!confirmationHandled && changesString.length > 0) {
        return message;
    }
    else {
        confirmationHandled = false;
    }
}

Here you can remove the confirmationHandled condition and get changesString from some global variable which holds the Batch changes.

That should do the trick.

How do I suppress BatchEdit button from kicking off onbeforeunload?   onRequestStart fires first then onbeforeunload.

(args.get_commandName() != "BatchEdit")

window.onbeforeunload = function () {
                var grid = $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
                if (grid.get_batchEditingManager().hasChanges(grid.get_masterTableView())) {
                    return "Unsaved changes will be lost.  Proceed?";
                }
}

Hi Lenny,

For your convenience I have prepared a sample project where the functionality is implemented. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
