[Solved] Determining whether a row is in edit mode in client-side javascript

[Tom]

Hi

Just upgrading our prototype product from RadControls Q1 2007 to RadControls Q2 2009, which in itself has been a bit of a leap ... but the majority of it has worked fine. There is one control that I'm currently upgrading which uses a bit more client side script then every other section of the associated web projects.

The problem I have is that on the original client side object model, you could query a row's `ItemType` member, when referring to a row object from the rows collection of a table view:

for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
    if (rows[i].ItemType == "EditItem") { editedRow = rows[i]; break; }
}

During migration process, I have revised the code and now initialise my rows variable in the above example with the following:

var view = grid.get_masterTableView();
var rows = view.get_dataItems();

But for the life of me, I can't find anything equivalent of a row/GridItem `ItemType` in the Q2 2009 client side object model, and the client-side API reference is a little thin- I've found a lot of control functions relating to editing items, e.g:

masterTable.editItem(masterTable.get_dataItems()[0].get_element());

masterTable.editSelectedItems();

masterTable.updateEditedItems();

masterTable.editAllItems();

But these all change the state of the items when all I want to know is what state the item is in. Is there a collection of GridItems that are dangling off the edge of the object model somewhere, or a simple property I'm missing or a function to evaluate? Please help!

Thanks

Hello Tom,

Generally you can check whether the hierarchical index of the item is in the _editIndexes collection of RadGrid. For example:

1.var myDatItemIndex = $find('RadGrid1').get_masterTableView().get_dataItems()[0]._itemIndexHierarchical;
2.
3.var isInEditMode = Array.contains($find('RadGrid1')._editIndexes,myDatItemIndex);
