[Solved] Grid Batch Editing Hide Submit Changes

[Nick]

I'm trying to implement batch/inCell editing but it doesn't seem to work without adding the SubmitChanges command to the toolbar.
the grid is in a form with other input fields and I would like to submit the changes using a 'Save' button instead of the using the toolbar command.  How can this be done?

Thanks,
Nick

Hello Nick,

To manually submit the changes made in the Grid when using Batch editing, you can use the submitChanges method from the client API. In your case, in the Save click handler get the client object of the Grid and executes the method above to submit the changes.

not quite.  removing the SubmitChanges command from the toolbar disables incell editing. I can hide the command button using html attributes, but the toolbar still shows.

also, i have a checkbox column

columns.Bound(o => o.Selected)

.ClientTemplate(

 

"<input disabled='disabled' type='checkbox' name='Selected' <#= Selected? \"checked='checked'\" : \"\" #> />")

.Title(

 

"Select").Width(75).HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center" });

o.Selected is a boolean.  When i submitchanges on the grid after selecting the checkbox, the updated items sent to the grid action do not have the Selected property set to true.  It is always false. What do I need to change?

how do i submit additional form values to the controller grid action? 

Thanks,
Nick

Hello Nick,

Up to your questions:

•  You should not have any problems to make the Grid editable in batch editing when there is no toolbar command to submit the options.
• The changes should be applied properly (if sure use the default editor template)
• Additional values can be sent when you subscribe to the OnSubmitChanges client event and you add your data to the values property of the event argument. 
  e.g.
  

  function onSubmitChanges(e) {
              e.values.myVal= "hello";
  }

For your convenience I attached a sample project which implements all the logic above. I hope this helps.

All the best,
