Hierarchical Grid Custom CommandItemDisplay

[Josh]

Hello all.  I have a RadGrid with 1 MasterTableView and 1 GridTableView.  I want to implement
a custom CommandItemDisplay that opens a new window for adding the record.  My only
problem is that I will need to send the "ID" of the parent grid item.  Obviously this will be done
through JavaScript, however, I don't know how to get the required data I need to send the
Add Record Window.

I have a link button in the GTV CommandItemDisplay that runs the JS Code below right now.

   function Add(sender, args) {
       // var eventid = args.get_parent.get_dataKeyValue("ID");
       alert("Add record for master # " + eventid);
   }

Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

Hi Josh,

I suppose you are trying pass the Key value of the Parent table row on clicking the the control in the CommandItemTemplate of a Detail table. If so give a try with the following approach and see whether it helps.

ASPX:

         <DetailTables>
                    <telerik:GridTableView DataKeyNames="OrderID" Name="Detail" CommandItemDisplay="top" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" Width="100%"
                        runat="server">
                        <CommandItemTemplate>
                            <asp:LinkButton ID="AddNewBtn" runat="server">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>
                        </CommandItemTemplate>
            .......

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if((e.Item is GridCommandItem)&&(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name=="Detail"))
        {
            GridCommandItem cmdItm = (GridCommandItem)e.Item;
            string ID = cmdItm.OwnerTableView.ParentItem.GetDataKeyValue("EmployeeID").ToString();
            LinkButton lnkBtn = (LinkButton)cmdItm.FindControl("AddNewBtn");
            lnkBtn.Attributes.Add("OnClick","return Add('"+ ID+"');");
        }
    }

JS:

<script type="text/javascript" >
 function Add(ID)
 {
  alert(ID)
 }
</script>
