[Bruno]

I wanna add a new record, and edit the records on grid, with button outside the grid. How could i do that?
Thats my asp code

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" runat="server" AllowMultiRowSelection="true" Width="300px"OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid2_NeedDataSource">
                <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="codigo" EditMode="InPlace">
                    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="CheckBox1" />
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Código" DataField="codigo" UniqueName="codigo"
                            ReadOnly="True" Display="true" ColumnEditorID="GridTextBoxColumnEditor1" />
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Descrição" DataField="descricao" UniqueName="descricao"
                            ColumnEditorID="GridTextBoxColumnEditor1" />
                        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton">
                        </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    </Columns>
                </MasterTableView>
                <ClientSettings>
                    <ClientEvents OnRowDblClick="RowDblClick" />
                </ClientSettings>
            </telerik:RadGrid>
            <telerik:GridTextBoxColumnEditor ID="GridTextBoxColumnEditor1" runat="server" TextBoxStyle-Width="180px" />
        <asp:Button ID="btnDeletar" runat="server" Text="Deletar Items" OnClick="btnDeletar_Click" />
        <asp:Button ID="btnInserir" runat="server" Text="Inserir Items" OnClick="btnInserir_Click" />
        <asp:Button ID="btnEditar" runat="server" Text="Editar Items" OnClick="btnEditar_Click" />
        <telerik:RadWindowManager ID="Window" runat="server" EnableShadow="true" />

and thats my c# code

protected void RadGrid2_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    // Atribui dados a grid.
    RadGrid2.DataSource = this.GridSource;
    this.GridSource.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { this.GridSource.Columns["codigo"] };
}
/// <summary>
/// Obtem a source do grid.
/// </summary>
private DataTable GridSource
{
    get
    {
        object obj = ViewState["GRID"];
        if ((!(obj == null)))
        {
            return ((DataTable)(obj));
        }
        DataTable myDataTable = new DataTable();

        myDataTable = Preenche();
        ViewState["GRID"] = myDataTable;

        return myDataTable;
    }
}
/// <summary>
/// Obtem data table com dados para grid.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>Retorna datatable</returns>
public DataTable Preenche()
{
    C001 c001 = new C001();
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();

    dt = c001.ObterDados();
    return dt;
}

Hello Bruno,

I understand that you want to make the selected row editable on one button click and add a new record to the RadGrid on another.
Take a look into the following code.

Code to  make the grid in Edit mode:
C#:

protected void btnEditar_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid2.SelectedItems)
 {
   item.Edit = true;
 }
 RadGrid2.Rebind();
}

Code to add new record:
C#:

protected void btnInserir_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 RadGrid2.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;
 RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Rebind();
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Shinu, thankz for the reply, the edit button , works as i expected, but the Insert button let me explain better.
My user will click on Add New Record(the grid button) and will appear the textbox, but onItemCreated, i remove Insert button and Cancel, so i want when user wrote something on the textbox and click in outside Insert Button, these record be added on grid.

Thankz in advance.

Hello Bruno,

You can use the FireCommandEvent to forcefully fire thePerformInsertCommandName.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.CommandName == "PerformInsert")
  {//insert code here
  }
}
protected void btnInserir_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  RadGrid grid = (this.FindControl("RadGrid1") as RadGrid);
  grid.MasterTableView.InsertItem();
  (grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.CommandItem)[0] as GridCommandItem).FireCommandEvent(RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName, string.Empty);
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
