fireCommand

Method which triggers specific command for the grid when executed. The method is called for the GridTableView client instance and its arguments depend on the command which will be processed.

fireCommand(commandName, commandArgument)
commandName The name of the command that will be fired.
commandArgument The argument to be passed along with the command.

Example:

function FirePageCommand() {
    var masterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
    masterTable.fireCommand("Page", "Next");
}

This method can be used to invoke custom commands along with a single string argument which can be accessed later on using the OnItemCommand server event.

When firing custom commands (with a custom command name) they are fired through the first data item in the GridTableView. This means that no command will be fired if the grid is bound to an empty data source.
