Cancel row edit template but retain values

[Reid]

I want to use the Grid Inline editing that presents an Update and Cancel button but I want to intercept the Update request so that I can call the Update event in the controller when a custom "Save" button is clicked.

Right now I can tap into the Update event and call grid.cancelRow() and call e.preventDefault() but in doing so when the grid cancels the edit returns the data to it's original state.  I know this is desirable for the normal scenario but in this scenario I want the update button to close the edit template in the row and leave the updated values in place and to leave the record marked as dirty.

Optimally it would leave the red triangle modified indicators in the modified cells.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,

I am not exactly sure what do you want to achieve, but you can use the save event of the grid (fired when the focus is moved outside of the cell being edited and before the cell is closed), here you can get the entered data and save it in hidden field and after that call e.preventDefault().

We have since changed tactics and the spec someone so the question is moot.  One thing I have learned with Kendo is that you can rarely wander outside the product design out of the box and get good results.
