Current Row change on adding new Row

[Huzaifa]

When new Row added in the Grid, it change my current selected row to the newly added row. I have bind Grid to the BindingList. Please advice how to overcome this issue. Because I don't want to change current selection on addition of new row.

Hello Huzaifa,

Sadly i've been trying to resolve this and some similar issues for a time now with telerik support and until now i don't have a viable solution.

You could try manually remembering the last selected row, something like this:

Snippet

        private void addRowButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var selectedRow = radGridView1.CurrentRow;

            objectCollection.Insert(0, new CustomObj(n)
            {
                Name = "Name" + n
            });

            radGridView1.CurrentRow = selectedRow;
            n++;
        }

I know it's a pretty ugly workaround but it should work as a last resort...
I will keep you posted as soon as i know something.

Can I get any event like Before Row adding and after row added? I update Binding List on backend where i don;t have access of Grid. Otherwise I have to unbind the Grid. Please advice..!!

Hello Huzaifa,

In the new version of RadGridView control you can use two new events for this scenario - UserAddingRow / UserAddedRow.

Hello,

The UserAddingRow event is not firing, and without that event there is no point...

Sorry i have no other workarounds, maybe you can implement your own ListChanging event that will get called before an actual changed occur and after that use the UserAddedRow event or you could set the RaiseListChangedEvents = true if you are using a binding list and register for the list changed event in the form for the latter action.

Hoping for a better solution

Sorry for the late reply,

Hello,

The event UserAddingRow is fired when the user populates the new row of RadGridView and adds it to the control.

When a new row is added programmatically, the CollectionChanged event of the Rows collection is fired:

this.radGridView1.Rows.CollectionChanged

The default behavior of the RadGridView control is to set as current row the current element of its BindingSource. The above event could be used to implement custom behavior.

Hello Alexander,

That's exactly right , but like i said before that fires only AFTER the collection has been changed, if you don't have an event that fires before the actual change you cannot remember the row you're currently on and from what I'm understanding this will be from now the standard behavior for the grid view...

Hello Emanuel,

The SP1 version of RadGridView (to be released next week), has a new feature on tracking newly added rows in the DataSource of the control. The SelectLastAddedRow property is also introduced in the RadGridView template. It will allows you to choose if the current row will change to the newly added row or will remain the same.

Thank you for your feedback regarding this scenario. It helped us to improve the behavior of the control.

Best regards,
