How to close EditForm (UserControl) after update or cancel

[Walter]

After spending hours looking through documentation and the forums I can't figure out why my edit form doesn't close.
In my RadGrid I include an EditFormSettings tag, specifying EditFormType="WebUserControl" and the name of the control. Nested in this tag I have an EditColumn tag.
In the RadGrid Columns collection I have a GridEditCommandColumn tag.
The User Control I'm using for editing has a DataItem public property which is used to populate the editing controls (textboxes and comboboxes).
In the User Control I have two buttons. The "Save" button has OnClick="BtnSaveClick" and CommandName="Update". The BtnSaveClick method in the user control's code-behind updates the database using Entity Framework. The "Cancel" button has CommandName="Cancel".
I am able to edit and successfully update records.
The problem is that after updating the database, or if the user clicks the Cancel button, the edit form remains visible.
How do I cause the edit form to close after an update or after clicking the Cancel button?
Thanks in advance for your help. This is driving me nuts.

Here is an excerpt from the page:

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="AccessRequestId, ContractorId" AllowAutomaticUpdates="False">
  <EditFormSettings UserControlName="~/UserControls/AccessRequestEditForm.ascx" EditFormType="WebUserControl" >
    <EditColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn1" ></EditColumn>
  </EditFormSettings>
<Columns>
  <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn">
  </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
  ...more columns...
</Columns>
</MasterTableView>

Here are the buttons in my user control:

<div runat="server" id="divButtons">
      <asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnSave" Text="Save" OnClick="BtnSaveClick" CommandName="Update" CausesValidation="true" />
      <asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnCancel" Text="Cancel" OnClick="BtnCancelClick" CommandName="Cancel" CausesValidation="false"/>
   </div>

Hi,

Try setting CausesValidation as false for the Button.
aspx:

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnSave" Text="Save" OnClick="BtnSaveClick" CommandName="Update" CausesValidation="false" />

Thanks,
Princy

Thanks, but no good. First of all, I need the Save button to cause validation. Secondly, changing it to not cause validation made no difference - the edit form still does not close. Thirdly, the Cancel button has the same problem.

Still open to any suggestions!!

Hi Michael,

Could you please try removing the click event handlers of the buttons and left only the command names like is shown in the following example and let me know if the issues still persists:

Looking forward for your reply.

Here's how I got mine to close every time:

protected void grdAthletes_UpdateCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        //Close out any open edit items and update the data displayed in the grid
        grdAthletes.MasterTableView.ClearEditItems();
        grdAthletes.Rebind();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print("Error: " + ex.Message);
    }
}

Telerik I think this should be put in your documentation or resolved in a future build - thank you.
