DetailTable insert from parent table?

[Sypher]

I would like to have a GridButtonColumn that begins an Insert in the DetailsTable under the current row.  Is this possible?  Basically, I can do an insert in the DetailsTable by showing the command row, but that row doesn't fit well in my grid and I would like to have the Add button show up in the parent row instead.  I have a button and can catch the ItemCommand from the main grid, but can I initiate the Insert in the details table from there?

protected void g1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "AddPI")
    {
        // What goes here to init insert in detailstable[0]?
        //e.Item.OwnerTableView.DetailTables[0].???
    }

}

Hello,

I believe that the following code will work for you.

if (e.CommandName == "AddPI")
{
    ((e.Item as GridDataItem).ChildItem as GridNestedViewItem).NestedTableViews[0].InsertItem();
}

Here is a full example.
Aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="grdViewRegistries" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="grdViewRegistries_NeedDataSource">
  <MasterTableView>
    <Columns>
      <telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="AddPI" Text="add">
      </telerik:GridButtonColumn>
    </Columns>
    <DetailTables>
      <telerik:GridTableView>
      </telerik:GridTableView>
    </DetailTables>
  </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    grdViewRegistries.ItemCommand += new GridCommandEventHandler(grdViewRegistries_ItemCommand);
}

void grdViewRegistries_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "AddPI")
    {
        ((e.Item as GridDataItem).ChildItem as GridNestedViewItem).NestedTableViews[0].InsertItem();
    }
}
protected void grdViewRegistries_NeedDataSource(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    (sender as RadGrid).DataSource = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
}

Cool. :-) Just FYI, JustCode told me that the second cast wasn't needed, so this works:

((e.Item as GridDataItem).ChildItem).NestedTableViews[0].InsertItem();
