datasource.sync(), server error, leave edit mode, lose dirty indicator

[Elko]

Hi to all,
we are facing a behaviour from grid/datasource, which looks as a serious 'bug' to our customers.

The scenario is as following :

1) The grid is set up for 'Inline' editing.
2) The user changes to 'Edit' mode, changes some values.
3) Press 'Update' button
4) an error occurs in server side processing , the error handler displays a message.
->
5) now the grid row leaves the edit mode, removes dirty indicators and (!!) displays the new values changed from user.

This is very confusing for the user because he has no clue of the current data state.

Is there an approach or sample how to reset the grid row to 'Edit Mode' and indicate the current state of the grid/row.

Thanks
Thomas

Hello,

we solved it with info from the following

http://www.kendoui.com/forums/mvc/grid/handling-errors-on-insert-pop-up-edit-form.aspx

<script type="text/javascript">
    function error_handler(e) {    
        if (e.errors) {
            var message = "Errors - TM :\n";
            $.each(e.errors, function (key, value) {
                if ('errors' in value) {
                    $.each(value.errors, function() {
                        message += this + "\n";
                    });
                }
            });        
            alert(message);


            var grid = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");
            grid.one("dataBinding", function (e) {
                e.preventDefault();   // cancel grid rebind if error occurs  
            });


        }
    }
</script>
