Cancel Postback when EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true"

[JustinWong]

Hi:

I have a RadGrid where I have set EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true".  On special situation, however, when a user click on a specific row (e.g.: if the value on a key is "xyz"), then I don't want the postback to take place. 

I have tried to trap the OnRowSelecting event and was hoping that the following 2 lines of codes could cancel the postback.  However, they don't. The postback occur anyway.
            
eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
return false;

Is there a way to cancel a postback when EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true"?

Hello Justin,


One suggestion is to invoke postback explicitly in the OnRowSelecting/OnRowSelected event after checking whether the corresponding cell value is "xyz", and hence no need to set the EnablePostBackOnRowClick property to "True".

Hello,

I have similar issue with EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true. In my radgrid I'm using inline editing. I want to do postback when user clicks on row in radgrid. The problem is, how to stop rising postback when radgrid row is in inline edit mode and user clicks somewhere inside of it. I don't want to use your suggestion workaround with RaisePostBackEvent.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Best regards

Hello Vasssek,

In order to achieve your goal, I would suggest that you disable the postback on row click by default. Then handle the OnRowClick client-side event and fire postback manually only for the cases you need.
Try the attached sample.

Hello Iana,

I've tested your code and it's working perfectly ! Now, I still can resolve e.CommandName values and even more I have a new one: "RowSelect".

I would like to thank you for your help (Extremely helpful: 7 points).
