Custom select/edit function

[John]

Select button example

I am looking to do something similar to this example but instead, I want a button or link in a column to fire an event which opens up the record for editing.

Clicking the row fires a selected index changed which does something else.

 The closest thing I have found is something like this:

Event DataGridView1ButtonClick(sender As DataGridView, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs)

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellContentClick(sender As System.Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentClick
   Dim senderGrid = DirectCast(sender, DataGridView)
   If TypeOf senderGrid.Columns(e.ColumnIndex) Is DataGridViewButtonColumn AndAlso e.RowIndex >= 0 Then
       RaiseEvent DataGridView1ButtonClick(senderGrid, e)
   End If
End Sub

Is this possible with the RadGrid?

Hello John,

I would suggest that you check the following samples:

1. PopUp edit mode provided by RadGrid:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-editing/edit-form-types/defaultcs.aspx

2. RadWindow:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandwindow/defaultcs.aspx?product=window
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/internalcontent/defaultcs.aspx​

3. RadToolTip:
https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/tooltip/examples/targetcontrolsandajax/defaultcs.aspx?product=tooltip

Based on your chosen controls integration we can proceed further with the requirement.

Very nice examples. In the end I got rid of the function using "onSelectIndexChanged" and used an ItemCommand event to catch the button clicked in the row.

 

    protected void RadGridPersons_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {

            switch (e.CommandName)
            {

                case "ViewPerson":

                    int ident = Convert.ToInt32(e.Item.Cells[2].Text);

 

// do other stuff like show a modal pop up div control
