How to add a new row in grid load

[Sameer]

I am using a grid which is loaded from database and also toolbar for creating a new record.
But instead of using the tool bar i want a new record to be opened by default at the time of loading the grid.(i.e addrow() method without clicking any button)
how is it possible? 
I have attached the image which i needed on grid load.
pls suggest....

Hi Sam,

To achieve this you could hook up to the grid's dataBound event and then use the addRow() method. Please note that you need to setTimeOut to ensure the grid is rendered. For example:

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  //....
  dataBound: function(){
     setTimeout(function() {
        var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
        grid.addRow();
     });
  }
});

Hi Iliana Nikolova,

Thanks for your reply.

It worked for me for creating a new row at the loading of grid but, as a new row is in edit mode i am not able to update any of the available rows.

Hello Sameer,

I am not sure if I understand you correctly - at a time only one row of the grid can be in edit mode. After you enter data in the new-added row you are able to update the other rows. I am attaching my test project, could you please check it and let me know if I missed something? Thank you in advance.
