I currently have a popup with an Update and a Cancel button.
I would like to have 3 buttons - Update, Save and Cancel.
Save would do just that, but NOT close the popup.
This behavior is typical of many applications where Update means save+close and Save means save+leave-open.

How would go about implementing this Save functionality for my popup?

Thanks

Jim

I have included some snippets of the aspx page below.
Radbutton8 is where the Insert or Update takes place.
I'd like to add another button that performs a "Save" - i.e., an update that leaves the popup open for additional editing.

<telerik:RadGrid ClientSettings-Resizing-AllowColumnResize="true" PageSize="20"
            ID="grdDataSpecs" Width="100%" ShowStatusBar="True"
                        DataSourceID="sqlDataSpec" runat="server"
            AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowSorting="True"
                        AllowPaging="True" GridLines="None" Skin="Vista" ClientSettings-Selecting-AllowRowSelect="true"
                        AllowAutomaticDeletes="True" AllowAutomaticInserts="True"
            AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" AllowFilteringByColumn="True"
                        AllowMultiRowSelection="True"
            ClientSettings-Scrolling-AllowScroll="true" ClientSettings-Scrolling-UseStaticHeaders="true"
                        ClientSettings-Scrolling-ScrollHeight="100%" OnItemCommand="grdDataSpecs_ItemCommand" OnItemDataBound="grdDataSpecs_ItemDataBound"
                        OnPreRender="grdDataSpecs_PreRender" OnItemUpdated="grdDataSpecs_ItemUpdated" OnHTMLExporting="grdDataSpecs_HTMLExporting" OnExportCellFormatting="grdDataSpecs_ExportCellFormatting" OnItemCreated="grdDataSpecs_ItemCreated"
                        OnItemInserted="grdDataSpecs_ItemInserted" CellSpacing="0">
                        <ExportSettings HideStructureColumns="true" ExportOnlyData="true" IgnorePaging="true"
                            OpenInNewWindow="true">
                            <Excel Format="Html" />
                        </ExportSettings>
                        <MasterTableView DataSourceID="sqlDataSpec" DataKeyNames="ID" AllowMultiColumnSorting="True"
                            CommandItemDisplay="Top" AllowAutomaticDeletes="True"
                            AllowAutomaticInserts="True" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" EditMode="PopUp">
 
...
 
<EditFormSettings CaptionDataField="BriefField_Name" CaptionFormatString="Editing Data Specification"
                                EditFormType="Template" InsertCaption="New Data Specification" PopUpSettings-Modal="true">
                                <EditColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter EditCommandColumn column">
                                </EditColumn>
                                <FormTemplate>
                                    <div id="divEdit" runat="server" class="formTemplate" style="height: 500px;">
                                        <div class="tabContent" style="height: 30px; padding-bottom:5px;">

                                                            Text='<%# ((bool)DataBinder.Eval(Container, "OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted")) ? "Create" : "Update" %>'
                                                            Visible='<%# (Boolean)Session["EditProcess"] %>'>
                                                        </telerik:RadButton>
                                                        <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton10" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel"
                                                            Text='<%# ((Boolean)Session["EditProcess"]) ? "Cancel" : "Close" %>'>

Hello Jim,

Have you tried setting e.KeepInEditMode = true in the ItemUpdated event handler? This should leave the edit form open after the update takes place.

All the best,

I tried setting e.KeepInEditMode = true in the ItemUpdated event, but that did not work - the popup still closes.
I do some simple processing in ItemCommand for the Update command, but just setting some hidden label's Text attribute which in turn is bound to the database.  I have included the opening section of the formtemplate below.
By the way, it is a rather busy template including a RadTabStrip, RadMultiPage and several RadPageViews.
Any suggestions as to what to try next?
Thanks.

<EditFormSettings CaptionDataField="BriefField_Name" CaptionFormatString="Editing Data Specification"
                    EditFormType="Template" InsertCaption="New Data Specification" PopUpSettings-Modal="true">
                    <EditColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter EditCommandColumn column">
                    </EditColumn>
                    <FormTemplate>
                        <div id="divEdit" runat="server" class="formTemplate" style="height: 500px;">
                            <div class="tabContent" style="height: 30px; padding-bottom: 5px;">
                                <table>
                                    <tr>
                                        <td>
                                            <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton8" runat="server" CommandName='<%# ((bool)DataBinder.Eval(Container, "OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted")) ? "PerformInsert" : "Update" %>'
                                                Text='<%# ((bool)DataBinder.Eval(Container, "OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted")) ? "Create" : "Update" %>'
                                                Visible='<%# (Boolean)Session["EditProcess"] %>'>
                                            </telerik:RadButton>
                                            <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton10" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel"
                                                Text='<%# ((Boolean)Session["EditProcess"]) ? "Cancel" : "Close" %>'>
                                            </telerik:RadButton>
                                        </td>
                                    </tr>
                                </table>
                            </div>
                            <telerik:RadTabStrip ID="tspDataSpecs" runat="server" MultiPageID="RadMultiPageDataSpecs"
                                SelectedIndex="0">
                                <Tabs>
                                    <telerik:RadTab runat="server" ID="tabDetails" Text="Details" PageViewID="pagDataSpecsDetails"
                                        Selected="true">

**Update**
I just tried your suggested technique on a simpler popup template (no tabs) and it works fine.
It's only the tabbed popup that will not close.

Hi Jim,

Do you have AJAX in this scenario? If so, check what happens when you disable it, are there any server errors?
If you cannot see anything more specific about the problem, I would suggest you to open a formal support ticket and send us a runnable sample of the problemmatic scenario, so that we can also debug it.

Kind regards,
