How to implement new row behaviour as in wpf toolkit DataGrid

[Adrian Oltean]

Hi,

I have just started with evaluating telerik RadGridView. 

What I want is to make RadGridView behave like the wpf toolkit DataGrid regarding the last adding new row.

This row should be always visible and it should add the bound object to the underlaing list just when you click away or press enter.

A new empty adding row should be displayed as a last row immediately after.

I would really appreciate some hints on how to proceed with achieving this using telerik RadGridView.

Hello Adrian Oltean,

Unfortunately with the current version of RadGridView it is not possible. You can set RadGridView.ShowInsertRow = true, and you will see area where user can click to add a new item, but this area for the time being is just below the header row and cannot be moved. We have plans to add enumeration which will control where this insert row should be placed, but I cannot commit with any specific date or release when this will be available.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Hi,

I am giving my collection of products as an Itemsource of gridView. For adding new row, Ad?dNew Button doesn't work when i provide IQuerable<Prodcuts> type of collection, but it is working fine with IList<Products>. Any Idea?

Hi,

 You cannot add items in IQuerable<T> however you can do this with IList<T>.

Hello,

Is there any updates about this?

Thanks.

Hello Alfredo Fernández,

We have plans to extend add new row functionality to support collections that does not implement IList interface, but unfortunately there is no way to support IQueryable<T> out of the box. IQueryable<T> interface doesn't provide any method that could be used to add new item. Our idea about extending this feature is to discover add method which could be used to add item to the collection and use it.

Hi! 

what about moving new row area to last row of the grid? Was it implemented?

[Vanya Pavlova]

Hello Nikolay,

With the current implementation of RadGridView there is no easy way to determine the actual count of  items in RadGridView and the position of GridViewNewRow exactly after the last GridViewRow and to keep it synchronized. I strongly recommend you to use the default behavior of GridViewNewRow. Also you may take a look at the following forum thread.
