Fire child insert from parent command item

[Dustin Dodson]

I am trying to fire a nested child insert command from a command item on the parent grid.

I have a GridButtonColumn that I am setting the CommandName to "InsertNest" in the code I can get a hold of the child item, but can not get it to fire the "InitInsert" command.

here is my code behind.

protected void rgvHealthInspList_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == "InsertNest")
            {
                GridTableView tblView = e.Item.OwnerTableView as GridTableView;
                GridItem[] nTablesViews = tblView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView);
                GridNestedViewItem nTableView = nTablesViews[0] as GridNestedViewItem;
                GridTableView nTable = nTableView.NestedTableViews[0];

                //Attempt 1
                //nTableView.FireCommandEvent("InitInsert", string.Empty);

                //Attempt 2
                //nTable.IsItemInserted = true;
                //nTable.Rebind();

                //Attempt 3
                //nTable.InsertItem();

                //Attempt a whole bunch of other trys...... :-(
                //GridEditableItem nItem = nTable.GetInsertItem();
                //nItem.FireCommandEvent("InitInsert", nItem.DataItem);

                //nTableView.FireCommandEvent("InitInsert", nTable);
                //nTable.FireCommandEvent("InitInsert", nTable);
            }
        }

So Obviously I have tried a couple of different ways of doing it, none of them seem to work. I have my grid EditMode setup in PopUp mode if that helps.

Any ideas on how to do this would be great!

Thanks,

Dustin

OK I finally figured out what the issue is.

For some reason you have to have the child table expanded.

Here is the code that finally worked.

protected void rgvHealthInspList_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == "InsertNest")
            {
                e.Canceled = true;
                ((GridDataItem)e.Item).Expanded = true;
                GridNestedViewItem nTableView = ((GridDataItem)e.Item).ChildItem;
                GridTableView nTable = nTableView.NestedTableViews[0];
                nTable.IsItemInserted = true;
                nTable.Rebind();
            }
        }

Hope this can help someone else if they run into the problem.
