I can determine if a RadDataForm Is in Insert mode with code like this:

if ($find("<%= frmClaim.ClientID %>")._isItemInserted) { ...

 

 

 

But how can I determine if a RadDataForm is in edit mode from client side JavaScript?

Hi Richard,

The DataForm does not provide API for getting the current Edit mode of the Item, but you can determine it depending on the visibility of the Edit element in a similar way:

if ($find("<%= frmClaim.ClientID %>")._Edit.style.display != "none") { ...

The portion the portion "$find("<%= frmClaim.ClientID %>")" returns a value, but "$find("<%= frmClaim.ClientID %>")._Edit" seems to return null regardless of if the data form is in edit mode.

Hi Richard,

Can you, please, share the exact version of the controls that you are using in your application? can you also send me a sample page where I can examine the exact DataForm setup and see what might prevent you to access the API of the control?
