Automatic InitInsert after PerformInsert

[Christophe]

Hello,

I have a radgrid binded by sql.

What I am trying to implement is a 3rd linkbutton (in addition of Insert and Cancel) triggering consecutively PerformInsert command (to insert new item) and InitInsert (not to have to click again on "Add new".

Anyone got an idea?

Hello,

You can use similar approach to the one presented in the article below:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-additional-action-button-in-autogenerated-edit-form.html

The only difference is that you need to check if the item is GridDataInsertItem and then add the additional button next to Insert and Cancel buttons:

if (e.Item is GridDataInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)

Thank you Pavlina for your reply.

I added this Code:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
    {
        GridDataItem dataItem = ((GridDataItem)(e.Item));
        LinkButton linkButton = new LinkButton();
        // adding delete button as third
        linkButton.Text = "Delete";
        linkButton.Attributes["onclick"] = "javascript:return confirm(\'Do you want to delete this item?\')";
        linkButton.CommandName = "Delete";
        dataItem["EditCommandColumn"].Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(" "));
        dataItem["EditCommandColumn"].Controls.Add(linkButton);
    }
}

But no third button appears. And adding:

      <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn">
      </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

leads to the following: "Plusieurs contrôles avec le même ID 'EditButton' ont été trouvés. FindControl requiert que les contrôles aient des ID uniques."

Hi,

Change the code as shown below and you should be able to see Delete button when you enter in insert mode:
​

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
        {
            GridDataInsertItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataInsertItem;
            LinkButton linkButton = new LinkButton();
            // adding delete button as third
            linkButton.Text = "Delete";
            linkButton.Attributes["onclick"] = "javascript:return confirm(\'Do you want to delete this item?\')";
            linkButton.CommandName = "Delete";
            dataItem["EditCommandColumn"].Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(" "));
            dataItem["EditCommandColumn"].Controls.Add(linkButton);
        }
    }

Hello Pavlina,

I am sorry but no button is appearing.

Would you have an sample file working?

Thank you Pavlina,

It still doen't work for me, meaning that the new button does not appear.

To make it appear, I must state  EditMode="InPlace" like you did.

But in this case, as I am using  <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">, my code does not work anymore...
