How to fire programatically edit event?

[Irving]

I have a grid, I want to fire the event edit like I'm clicking the edit button to fire the popup edit template, but without clicking it with the mouse but programatically. I this posible?

I tried trigger it on the databound event like this:

 

for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {

if(Myid == theIdOntheRow)

{

 $(rows[i]).addClass('k-state-selected');
                        var btnEdit = $(rows[i]).find(".k-grid-edit");                        
                        btnEdit.trigger('click');

 

...

 

I hope there are a clenear way to do this. Thanks

Hello Irving,

You could use the editRow method of the Grid API instead. It receives the DOM element of the row as a parameter.

Thanks for you quick respose. This works really good. The problem I'm having is about when to fire this event. I have a Kendo MVC grid, if I call this on the Databound event it's loops causing a maximum stack size. If I call it in other moment I still don't have data.

 

Thanks

I found that I can call this on the RequestEnd event instant of the databound event. Thanks
