[Solved] Go to edit mode of newly added row

[abonfig]

Hello,

I am adding a row to several grids at once by adding an item to their respective collections and then rebinding the grids.  I would like the grids to go into edit mode for the newly-added rows.  How do I do this?

I am using InPlace editing, and advanced data-binding (NeedDataSource event).

Thanks,
Aaron

Pavlina,

I should have specified that the "Insert" action is not coming from the grid, but from a button somewhere else on the page.  So in the ASP button click event, I am adding the new items to the respective collections, and then rebinding the grid.

It works well up to this point, the grids show their newly added rows.  However I would like these rows to immediately go into "edit" mode.

So I'm not sure the link that you provided really helps me.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hello Pavlina,

This isn't quite what I am looking for.  When user clicks an ASP button I am inserting a single row into two different grids.  The problem is not getting the new rows added to the grid, or getting them to display...I am wondering how to get those new rows in both grids to immediately go into edit mode.

Thanks,

Hi,

Take a look at the code librray link below that performs a similar functionality.
Select Last Inserted Row in the RadGrid with both Paging and Sorting enabled.

Thanks Princy that seems to work well.  I can get the last-added row to go into edit mode.  However, the update/cancel buttons in my EditCommandColumn for that newly-added row do not do anything.  Clicking on them does not perform any action.  So essentially my new row is stuck in edit mode.

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" UpdateText="Save" UniqueName="EditCommandsColumn">
   <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
   <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

If I click to edit an existing row, the buttons still work as expected.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Aaron

Figured out the problem...I just forgot to reset the flag that causes the new row to go into edit mode.  Thanks for your help.
