Custom Position of Add/Create link

[MiracleMan]

Hello, I'm currently evaluating the MVC controls. I've created a custom control panel where the user can filter  or create new items on the table.  Currently the filter is working perfectly using javascript. The create button is not.  I added the class k-grid-add but no luck. I look at the link the grid creates when using the standard create button in the toolbar and it looks something like this: tblAgents_Read?grid-mode=insert  . I've tried adding this link to my custom link but it will return all data in a json file.  Any help?

Hi,

Would you try the approach suggested in the following thread and see how it works for you?

In case the behavior persists please share the definition for the grid widget.

But this code is to create a custom Toolbar. I don't want to use a toolbar because we need the controls at another location.

Hi,

In order to add new record to the grid with an external button you can use an approach similar to the following:

<button  onclick='createRow(); return false;'>
    add new row
</button>

function createRow() {
    grid = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");
    grid.addRow();
}
