[Solved] Data from Grid to a tabstrip 'button click'

[Gerard Eikelboom]

Hello,
I have a question about data wich I have available in my grid how to get it in my tabstrip button click.
In my Grid I have an ID
beside the grid there is an tabstrip with some fields. When I clcik on a row in my grid I retrieve some value using an Ajax call and fill the items on my tabstrip.
When i click the update button I retrieve the Values from my tabstrip via an Ajax call. So far so good.

Is there a way that when I click on the button that I can get the ID from the selected row (Grid)?
A solution (I think) use another hidden field on my tabstrip and put the ID in there When i do a rowselect of the Grid.
But I don't know if there is a nicer way to retrieve the ID when It's needed.

Long story, I hope it makes sense.

Regards,

Hi Gerard Eikelboom,

 You can do this if your grid is ajax bound (with JavaScript):

var selectedRow = $("#grid tr.t-state-selected");
var dataItem = $("#grid").data("tGrid").dataItem(selectedRow);
var dataKey = dataItem.ID; // or whatever the data key property is called.

If your grid is server bound you can use a hidden field in some column to get that data key (it it is not already bound to a column).
