Batch Update with inline editing

[Sub]

Hi,

I am using the RadGrid control with EditMode="InPlace". I have a dropdown and following the example as below:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/grid/grdoperationswithdropdownlistinedititemtemplate.html

Using the GridDropDownColumn did not work well with my custom datasource. Thats why I am using the above link as a sample

<

 

Columns>

 

 

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" HeaderStyle-CssClass="edit" ItemStyle-CssClass="edit" />

 

 

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name"  ReadOnly="True"

 

 

 

HeaderText="Header1" />

 

 

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="Description" HeaderText="Header2" >

 

 

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">

 

<%

# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description")%>

 

 

 

</asp:Label>

 

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<EditItemTemplate>

 

 

<asp:DropDownList id="drpDown" runat="server" />

 

 

</EditItemTemplate>

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

 

</Columns>

 

I am populating the dropdowon on edit mode as below:

 

if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

 

 

{

 

 

GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

 

 

 

// access/modify the edit item template settings here

 

 

DropDownList dropDownList = item.FindControl("drpDown") as DropDownList;

 

 

dropDownList.DataSource = reactions;

 

dropDownList.DataTextField =

"description";

 

 

dropDownList.DataValueField =

"id";

 

 

 

PatientAllergy paRowData = (e.Item.DataItem as PatientAllergy);

 

 

 

if (paRowData != null)

 

 

{

 

 

if ((paRowData.Description!= null))

 

 

dropDownList.SelectedValue = paRowData.Id;

 

}

 

dropDownList.DataBind();

 

 

}

fine. I have two outstanding questions:
I want to achive the the batch update with inline editing
1.  How do I collapse the editable row when I click outside of the row.
2. How do I keep track of edited rows. Does Telerik has a implematioan for this. the below example does it only with client side and ondoubleclick editing. But I want to achieve with EditMode="InPlace". I want to do inline editing when the Edit button is clicked for the particular row. Please point me the direction.
