Deleting rows with destroy command

[Tom]

Hi, when I delete a row from a grid using a destroy command column, should it filter directly through to the dataSource's destroy transport? or do I have to manually code a remove event handler on the grid?

Hi Jack,

The behaviour depends on the edit mode that you use. In case of inline and popup editing, the deleted item will be immediately submitted through the destroy transport of the DataSource.

In case of batch (incell) editing, the deleted item will be send to the server, when the user presses "Save changes" button or the saveChanges method is called. If you want changes to be synchronized automatically, you should set autoSync option of the DataSource to true.

Behaviour can be tested on Grid editing demos:
