I have custom actions that I need to perform on a grid, so I can't use the built-in item commands "Update and Cancel" which trigger the OnBatchEditCommand correctly. As soon as I use CommandItemTemplate tags, I lose that functionality which triggers the OnItemCommand. In code behind, the e.CommandArgument of the OnItemCommand is empty so I can't get a handle on the old and new values to perform tasks.

Please help.

Thanks,
Fahd

To make the problem more apparent, below is the code snippet of the markup. When I press the update button, the ItemCommand gets triggered without the CommandArgument property. How can I trigger the OnBatchEditCommand using CommandItemTemplate?

01.<telerik:RadGrid ID="rgBatchEditing" runat="server" GridLines="Horizontal"
02.    AllowMultiRowSelection="true" AllowSorting="true" AllowPaging="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
03.    PageSize="15" Skin="View"
04.    OnBatchEditCommand="rgBatchEditing_BatchEditCommand"

I finally got it to work by using Client-side GridBatchEditing API. Though, we need to stop the execution by returning true otherwise it will not work.

Javascript:
1.function SaveChangesInGrid(sender, args) {
2.    var grid = $find('<%=rgBatchEditing.ClientID%>');
3.    grid.get_batchEditingManager().saveChanges(grid.get_masterTableView());
4.    return true;
5.}


Markup:
1.<CommandItemTemplate>
2.       <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkUpdateEdited" runat="server" CommandName="UpdateEdited" Width="120" OnClientClick="if(SaveChangesInGrid()) {return false;}">
3.    <img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle; height:24px;" alt="" src="../Images/update.png"/><b style="padding-left:5px;">Update</b>
4.    </asp:LinkButton>
5.</CommandItemTemplate>

Hope this helps.
