how to set datakey value (update a radgrid cell client side)

[Riaan Booyzen]

Afternoon Telerik Team,

I have a need to update telerik radgrid specific columns in a row client side. 

I set my events in the item created event as shown below (simplified version) and that works as expected.

I then get the client value also correctly, now I need to update this value...there is not SetDataKeyValue of the item available and I cannot find a method on the object (client side) to achieve this.

Should I perhaps use the DataItem client side that I send when attaching the attributes server side to the object to achieve this, if so, then how ?

Can you please assist in the matter ?

Your help is much appreciated.

 function Validate(control, denominator) {

                var firstDataItem = $find("<%=rgCoinBox.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView().get_dataItems()[0];

                alert(firstDataItem.getDataKeyValue("Heading"));
            }

protected void rgCoinBox_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Item is GridEditableItem)

{

//(e.Item as GridEditableItem).Edit = true;

switch (e.Item.RowIndex)

{

case 3:

e.Item.Attributes.Add("onFocusout", "return Validate('" + e.Item.UniqueID + "','1')");

break;

default:

break;

}

}

}

Hello Riaan,

The getDataKeyValue method from the client API of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX allows you only to extract values from fields that are added to the ClientDataKeyNames array.

If you want to set new values for grid cells client-side, you may consider modifying their innerHTML (see this article for reference). Note, however, that if you want to persist these values, you will need to find a way to send them to the server (using client array or hidden field for example) and update the grid source.

Best regards,

Thank you Sebastian,

I have used a different strategy and I am now using the radgrid's refresh that fires an update to the itemcommand event.

There I the do my calculations and update the needed fields.

Have a good day.
