How to fire EditCommand event in hierarchichal grid

[Dwight]

Hi

I am using a hierarchical grid to show parent child data, when I update the parent record it is easy to use code behind running on the EditCommand event to grab some values for inserting back in to the record on update and it works well.

However I cant work out how to make the EditCommand event to fire in the child grid? I assume that as the DetailTables use another GridView to show the data that it would have access to the same events but I dont know how to access that event in my aspx.vb code

Thx for any advice you can give


Kind regards

Dwight

Hello Dwight,

You can check for EditCommand in ItemCommand event by differentiating MasterTableView and DetailTableView using its Name property.
VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(sender As Object, e As GridCommandEventArgs)

           


    If e.CommandName = RadGrid.EditCommandName AndAlso e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name = "DetailTable1" Then
 'your code

    End If

 If e.CommandName = RadGrid.EditCommandName AndAlso e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name = "Master" Then

'your code
    End If

End Sub

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thx Shinu, that was a very speedy response

I feel that is very close but something is not quite happening right

I used message boxes to return the values from the code that you recommended and got the following - I have highlighted the pieces in your recommended code

MsgBox(e.CommandName) = Edit
MsgBox(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name) = Blank

It seems that the e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name doesn't have a value, do you have any idea why that would be?

  If e.CommandName = RadGrid.EditCommandName AndAlso e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name = "DetailTable1" Then
 'your code

  End If

A simplified version of the markup of the grid declarations is below

<telerik:RadGrid ID="AccountsRadGrid" runat="server"  
        DataSourceID="Accounts" GridLines="None">
            <MasterTableView datakeynames="ID" datasourceid="Accounts">
                <DetailTables>
                    <telerik:GridTableView runat="server" Width="964px" 
            DataKeyNames="ID" DataSourceID="AccountUsers" >

Hello Dwight,

Here is the sample code to set the Name property for MasterTableView and DetailTableView.
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" . ..>
  <MasterTableView Name="Master">
     <telerik:GridTableView Name = "DetailTable1" . . >
         . . .
</telerik:RadGrid>

Thanks,
Shinu.
