EnablePostBackOnRowClick without AllowRowSelect disables Command Buttons

[Richard]

I had a new grid on a new page that would not set a row into edit mode when the edit command button was clicked - though the OnEditCommand event was still firing.  After extended head-scratching I discovered that if you set ClientSettings-EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true" it will prevent the command buttons from functioning unless you include AllowRowSelect="true"...

<ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
     <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
</ClientSettings>

Hello Richard,

I have attached a page which does not suffer this issue. Try adding the latest RadControls "Prometheus" (2007.3.1425) and let us know if it works fine for you.

Interesting.  The bare page with just the grid on it works ok.  Try adding a few more controls to it though.  If I take your page and add 3 RadCalendar controls it no longer works.  I am using 2007.3.1425.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the details. I was able to reproduce it. This seems to be an issue in RadGrid. I have notified our developers of it, so they will investigate it.

For the time being you can use the following workaround: enable selection in RadGrid (this fixes the issue) and wire RowSelecting client-side event. In the javascript function you only need to cancel the event, so there will never be a selected item. Here is an example:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" >
            <MasterTableView>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn></telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
            <ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
                <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
                <ClientEvents OnRowSelecting="RowSelecting" />
            </ClientSettings>
        </telerik:RadGrid>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            function RowSelecting(sender, args)
            {
                args.set_cancel(true);
            }
        </script>
