[Solved] Batch editing with edit templates - problem.

[Marcin]

Hi,

/The code that I'm writing about is included in attachment/

I have problem with batch editing in grid using edit templates with combobox.

When I update both ProductName and IssueNumber and click Save changes, in method Save in HomeController my updated line object has new ProductName, but IssueNumber has still old value. If I insert new row or update only one property everything is ok.

Details are in project. 

Thanks in advance for any hints. 
Best regards,
Marcin

Hello Marcin,

All you need is to modify e.values. For your convenience I am attaching the modified version of your code.

Hi,

Thanks, your advice was helpful.

I have another problem yet:
when I update IssueNumber I want to update value of IssueDate too.

I do it in way you wrote:

e.values = $.extend(e.values, { IssueId: id, IssueNumber: number, IssueDate: date });

but the value in cell is not changing (not changing on the page - in view, in update method the value is correct).
Is there any way to refresh value of this cell in grid?

TIA.
Best regards,
Marcin

Hello Marcin,

I am afraid that the data in the grid will not be updated except the currently edited cell. You will have to manually change the value for the other cells if this is your requirement.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.
By "manually" do you mean to change the text value of <td> node? or there's an API to do it "safe way".
I'd be thankful for information.

Best regards,
Marcin

Hello Marcin,

I am afraid that there is no "safe way" for this case.You can use the following code for example:

if (e.values.IssueNumberComboBox) {
...
            e.values = $.extend(e.values, { IssueId: id, IssueNumber: number, IssueDate: date });
            $(e.cell).next().html(date);
        }
        else if (e.values.ProductNameComboBox) {
...
}

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I've just considered case when the user may reorder columns etc, so I thought that there's a setter for cells which is indexed i.e. by column name. But that's not a big problem I may try to write one by myself. I've just wanted to avoid writing an existing feature.

Best regards,
