[Solved] GridCommandItem instead GridEditableItem

[QualiWareUA]

Hello,

I have command item template with a link in it. This link fires InsertCommand command. Server-side handler is triggered. And I have e.Item of type GridCommandItem instead of GridEditableItem. Thus I cannot extract values from it. What might be the problem and how can I fix it?

Hi Vladimir,

You can check this example for reference:
http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/prometheus/Grid/Examples/DataEditing/UserControlEditForm/DefaultCS.aspx

In the command item there is a button with CommandName = "InitInsert" which will open the insert item and in the insert item you can fire "PerformInsert" command.

Hello Vlad,

The problem is right here (code is taken from the sample you provided)^

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

Hi Vladimir,

Most probably this was cause by directly calling "PerformInsert" command from the grid CommandItem

Vlad, and how can I do this indirectly? Or what am I doing wrong?

Hi Vladimir,
 
A suggestion would be to set the CommandName of the link button in the CommandItemTemplate to "InitInsert ".  This will  set the grid in insert mode and open the  insert form . Clicking the Insert button(which has a CommandName of "PerformInsert" )in the insert form will fire the InsertCommand event and you will then be able t access the form values using the GridEditableItem.

Thanks,

Hi Princy,

The problem that it is done this way.

<CommandItemTemplate>
    <div style="padding: 0 5px;">
        <asp:LinkButton ID="selectButton" runat="server" CommandName="Select" Visible='<%# IsForSelection %>'><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Edit.gif" />Select</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="includeButton" runat="server" CommandName="Include"><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Edit.gif" />Include</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="excludeButton" OnClientClick="javascript:return confirm('Do you want to exclude selected items from query results?')" runat="server" CommandName="Exclude"><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Edit.gif" />Exclude</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="editButton" runat="server" CommandName="EditSelected" Visible='<%# itemsGridView2.EditIndexes.Count == 0 %>'><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Edit.gif" />Edit selected</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="updateButton" runat="server" CommandName="UpdateEdited" Visible='<%# itemsGridView2.EditIndexes.Count > 0 %>'><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Update.gif" />Update</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="cancelButton" runat="server" CommandName="CancelAll" Visible='<%# itemsGridView2.EditIndexes.Count > 0 || itemsGridView2.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted %>'><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Cancel.gif" />Cancel editing</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="templateButton" runat="server" CommandName="InitInsert" Visible='<%# !itemsGridView2.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted %>'><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/AddRecord.gif" />Add new</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="createButton" runat="server" CommandName="PerformInsert" Visible='<%# itemsGridView2.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted %>'><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Insert.gif" /> Add this item</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="removeButton" OnClientClick="javascript:return confirm('Do you want to remove selected items?')" runat="server" CommandName="DeleteSelected"><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Images/Delete.gif" />Delete selected items</asp:LinkButton>
    </div>
</CommandItemTemplate>

And corresponding handler is called, but the type of item is GridCommandItem.

Hi,

Try the code below to achieve the editor values:

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

GridEditableItem insertedItem = e.Item.OwnerTableView.GetInsertItem();

}

Thanks,
Shinu
