[Solved] determine if item is in edit mode, client-side

[Charles Forsyth]

In JavaScript (client-side), how do you determine if a particular radGrid item is in edit mode or not?

Note: The index of the radGrid item is known.

Hi Charles,

Go through the following forum link which discuss a similar scenario.
Client-side ItemType property

Thanks

Thanks Princy.

However, I came up with my own solution:

// "element" is a paraemter for the function. It represents "this" from the onMouseDown event of the item row
var draggedRowTD = element.getElementsByTagName("td")[0].innerHTML;  // get first td
var re = new RegExp('\<input[^\>]*?\>','gi'); // check for input form element
if (draggedRowTD.match(re)) {
    return false;
}

The whole point was to stop dragging if the row is in edit mode. If it's not in edit mode it won't have an <input> in it. So I use regular expressions to find one in the first <td>'s innerHTML.

In my code behind, I set the event thusly...

    Private Sub RadGrid1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCreated
        If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
            Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = TryCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
            e.Item.Attributes("onmousedown") = String.Format("onGridMouseDown(event, this,{0})", dataItem.DataSetIndex)
        End If
    End Sub
