How to open a new row in edit mode for RadGrid inline editing

[Dennis]

Hi,

I have a requirement wherein I need to open a new row in insert mode in a RadGrid with inline editing. This should be done from my C# code. A button event on my page will cause this new row to be added and a GridBoundColumn whose TextControl is rendered should be prepopulated with some text. I tried doing Grid1.EditIndexes.Add(countOfItems) but to no sucess. I think the EditIndexes property is used to open up an existing record in update mode. I am using a DataTable to bind the DataSource.

Thanks In Advance.

Hello David,

If you want to open a new record in insert mode from an external event, try the following code snippet.

C#:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;
      RadGrid1.Rebind();
  }

Thanks,
Princy.
