[Solved] Default edit mode on a Grid

[Beethoven124]

Hi,

I have a grid with ajax databinding and my question is whether is it possible to set the edit mode by default on the grid? So I will load the page to see my grid in edit mode.

Hi Beethoven124,

It is possible by using the grid client-side API. You can call the editRow JavaScript method of the grid. This can be done by handling the initial ondatabound event
<script type="text/javascript">
function ondatabound(){
    setTimeout(function() {
        var grid = $('#Grid').data('tGrid');
        grid.editRow($('#Grid tr:has(td):eq(0)'));
    }, 0);
}
</script>

Hello Beethoven124,

Did you search for correct grid? In $('#Grid') you need to replace "#Grid" with the id of your grid. For instance if the grid ID is "TestGrid", the code should look like so $('#TestGrid'). If the problem still persists, you can try to debug the code and see if the $('#Grid_ID') actually returns something.

Hi,

I will try it, but #Grid is the name of my Grid like Html.Telerik().Grid<NerdDinner.Models.DinnerFormViewModel>().Name("Grid")....
The <NerdDinner.Models.DinnerFormViewModel> is corrent. I see my Grid with all the data. Unfortunately, I can only test on monday. And I will debug my code.
Thx for your help.

I'd like to use this to default to Edit mode too - but I can't figure out where I place the script. Where do I place the script to get it to execute?  

We are not using Ajax, does that make a difference?

Thanks.

I am getting the same issue

Error message in Firebug: "data is undefined"

I am pointing at the right Id and the Id does exist.

(Why does the code have to be in a Timeout method?)

Also, is it possible to have more than one row in Edit mode at the same time?

Did anyone ever get this to work?

Thanks!
