Command items: command name RebindGrid

[Guilhem]

Hello,

I noticed that both the command items "Cancel changes" and "Refresh" fire an event with the name "RebindGrid".
This is happening for both the client side (ClientEvents.OnCommand) and the server side (onItemCommand). And we can't add an argument for those native commands.

So we have a way to intercept those actions (the 2 events I mentionned above) but we can't know if the user has clicked on the "Cancel changes" button or the "Refresh" Button. That's too bad !
I note that we don't have this issue with the "Save changes" button and the "Add new record" button which have their own command names.

Is this something that could be changed in a future release ?

Thank you.

Hello,

This is because basically they fire the same action, i.e. - blank event to refresh the grid. You can achieve this requirement using the following approach:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
    {
        Button button = e.Item.FindControl("CancelChangesIcon") as Button;
        button.Attributes.Add("onmousedown", "cancelChangesClicked();");
    }
}

JavaScript:

var isCancelChanges = false;
function cancelChangesClicked() {
    isCancelChanges = true;
}
function gridCommand(sender, args) {
    if (args.get_commandName() == "RebindGrid" && isCancelChanges) {
        alert("Cancel Changes Initiated");
    }
}

I hope this will prove helpful.

Hello Eyup,

Thank you for your answer.
I solved it with a very similar approach, and it's functionning. But I still think a (native) different command Name, or a (native) different argument would be better.

var isCancelChanges = false;

function GridCreated(sender, args) {
    $(sender.get_element()).find(".rgRefresh").each(function () {
        var clickhandler = this.onclick;
        this.onclick = null;
        $(this).click(function () {
            isCancelChanges = false;
        }).click(clickhandler);
    });
    $(sender.get_element()).find(".rgCancel").each(function () {
        var clickhandler = this.onclick;
        this.onclick = null;
        $(this).click(function () {
            isCancelChanges = true;
        }).click(clickhandler);
    });
}

function Command(sender, args) {
    switch (args.get_commandName()) {
        case "RebindGrid":
            if (isCancelChanges) {
                //Cancel
            }else{
                //Refresh
            }
            break;
        default: break;
    }
}
