How to catch key value from MVC Grid Edit PopUp model and put it to another grid DataSource Read method?

[Yuriy]

Hello.

 

I have MVC grid binding to some model. When I click on Edit button, it is open an edit window with some controls. One of them is  grid. Is it possible to put key property from fitst model to DataSource Read method of second grid (I need to load in popup window data with the same property value as in first grid)?

 

Thanks.

Hello Yuriy,

 

My suggestion is to use the transport.read.data for the dataSource of the nested grid and define a function that is fired when read request is going to be sent. 

 

In the edit event you can find the grid and its dataSource and call its read method and send the key value as additional parameter. Since the data function will be fired before the edit event autoBind option should be set to false.
