Show edit form by grouping the data

[Hiram]

Hello

I have a RadGrid with one Group. The data is seperated by the groups in a proper way.
So from this point everything is ok.

Data should be added by an edit form (modal popup).
Now I try to display the edit form, but it's just appearing if I press "Add new record".
Pressing "Edit" in a row does not show the edit form.

If remove the grouping of the RadGrid, the edit form appears as expected!

What's the reason for this behaviour?

Here is my code:

    <asp:ScriptManagerProxy ID="ScriptManagerProxy1" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManagerProxy>
    <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="gridMain">

                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="gridMain" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="imgSearch" />

               </UpdatedControls>

Hello Aho,

I reviewed the setup, and the code looks correct.
If the issue persists, you can open a formal support ticket, and send us a small working project, demonstrating your setup, and showing the unwanted behavior.
We will debug it locally, and advise you further.

Best wishes,

I was wondering that I am the only one how runs into this issue.

It seems that this is a problem with the RadGrid itself.
As far as I know, there still isn't a workaround for this.

[CH]

AHo:
   I don't think you are the only one..... it seems the bug for telerik grid. i tried the grid in the other application. the problem also appear. if there is not further feedback then i will submit a support ticket tomorrow.... if you can find some workaround then please kindly to let me know to. thks

Hi CH,

It is very important that we replicate the precise settings, which demonstrate this behavior.
Attached to this message, you will find a small project, which handles a similar setup, and behaves as expected.
You can either use it to introduce any additional settings, which replicate the issue, or open a formal support ticket, and send a separate project.

Kind regards,

Hi Yavor

Can you confirm, that your example does not work if you set the MasterTableView property:

 

GroupsDefaultExpanded="false"

 

 

[Yavor]

Hello CH,

As a quick follow up on the post which I made previously.
I further tracked the issue, and, depending on the number of records displayed, a similar issue to the one which you described is shown. This behavior is caused by a limitation in the rendering mechanism of the grid, introduced to workaround a bug in IE. One custom solution, which can be used to eliminate this behavior is shown in this forum thread:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/popup-form-template-is-not-appear-after-grouping.aspx

I hope this information helps.

Sincerely yours,

I am having the exact problem as documented in this thread.  I downloaded the WebSite1 example and was able to make is fail by adding the setting the property GroupsDefaultExpanded="False" in the MasterTableView.

I then modified the property on my form and still the edit form would not open.  I then set the set the property GroupLoadMode="Client" in the MasterTableView and everything works!

I can run like this for the short term but as this form has the potential for displaying a large amount of information this needs to be addressed and sending everything to the client is not the solution.

Thanks

Hi,

As mentioned in the pointed forum thread - Currently using Popup Edit Form when both grouping and scrolling are enabled is not supported in RadGrid due to browser limitation. Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused.

All the best,

[Ashraf]

[Pavlina]

Hi,

I am afraid that this scenario is currently unsupported. Sorry for the inconvenience.

4 more years.... bug is still present here (v4.0.30319).

Wonder why telerik SW guys solved an issue with IE by introducing a new bug? What´s that called?  IE driven development?

I am afraid that this scenario is currently unsupported, too. My solution? Get rid of telerik grid!
