GridCommandColumn GridCommandButton text for add/edit

[Ryan]

How can I change the text for the save command for a row to say add when it's adding a new item and Update when it's updating a new item? Is there no official way and I have to manually do that? Thanks!

Hi Ryan,

My answer assumes that you are using inline Grid edit mode. You can set the Save command button text at runtime, depending on which Grid event fired - OnAdd or OnEdit.

<TelerikGrid OnAdd="@OnGridAdd"
                    OnEdit="@OnGridEdit">
    <GridColumns>
        <GridCommandColumn>
            <GridCommandButton Command="Save" ShowInEdit="true">@SaveButtonText</GridCommandButton>
        </GridCommandColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>

@code {
    private string SaveButtonText { get; set; } = "Save"; // practically never used

    private void OnGridAdd(GridCommandEventArgs args)
    {
        SaveButtonText = "Add";
    }

    private void OnGridEdit(GridCommandEventArgs args)
    {
        SaveButtonText = "Update";
    }
}
