[Solved] Calling ItemCommand from external button

[Garrett]

Hi! 

I have a grid that has an update command inside of RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)


I want to run that update command when a radbutton is clicked further down in the page.

What do I pass as "e" to make the update work with the button click?

Hi Garrett,

If you want to invoke a command in the OnItemCommand event for a button outside Grid, you can use the fireCommand. Check the following code snippet:

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadGrid>
<telerik:RadButton ID="rbtnUpdate" runat="server" Text="Update" OnClientClicked="OnClientClicked">
</telerik:RadButton>

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function OnClientClicked() {
      var grid = $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
      var master = grid.get_masterTableView();
      master.fireCommand("YourCommandName", "");
  }
</script>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.CommandName == "YourCommandName")
  {
    //Your code
  }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Wonderful! I will implement this later today and report back. Thank you.

I'm getting this as an error:

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: ItemHierarchicalIndex

This grid is in a radwindow if this is matters.

I changed master.fireCommand("YourCommandName", ""); to master.fireCommand("YourCommandName", "0"); and it seems to be working. Thank you!

Any conversion of this code to Classic RadControls. Thanks

var grid = $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>"); 
var master = grid.get_masterTableView();
master.fireCommand("YourCommandName", "");
