AutoPopup Toolbar.create template

[Kahl]

I have a editible grid with a ToolBar.Create that pops up a template,  I would like to have the template popup when entering the view and grid is 1st displayed,  Ie On datbound or similar

 

how can the grid enter create mode and have the popuyp appear automatically.

 

Thanks

Hi Kahl,

The behavior you would like to implement can be achieved with a bit of additional code. You can handle the DataBound event for the Grid component. Then you can use the addRow() method in order to open the popup edit form.

Note that DataBound event will be fired automatically on every data related operation (e.g. paging, sorting, editing). Thus to prevent the popup insert form from showing every time you can use a flag.

The code snippets below outline the approach:

Adding DataBound handler:

.Events(e=>e.DataBound("onDataBound"))

JavaScript:

var flag = false;

function onDataBound(e) {
    var grid = this;
    if (!flag) {
        setTimeout(function () {
            grid.addRow();
            flag = true;
        });
    }
}
