[Solved] InCell edit of details in master edit form

[Jaap]

Hello,

I have a master entity with details (e.g. Order with OrderLines) which I want to edit in one screen.
I am displaying it in a Window as you can see in the attached image.
I want to have InCell edit for the grid, but that seems only to work when using Ajax databinding and enabling the SubmitChanges in the toolbar. I want just simple Server databinding and I don't want the Save Changes and Cancel Changes buttons (and also not the refresh button in the footer).
When I click my own Save button, then I want to post the whole order with orderlines to my controller.
How should I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Jaap

I did some more research.
What I want is comparable with the NestedGrid example attached to Grid inside a grid's popup. But in this example every edit of a row in the grid on the edit form is directly saved to the controller.
What I want is using the InCell edit mode, so I can edit multiple records and send them in one request with the data of the master to the controller. I can do this by taking the form controls and create an javascript object of them and add the dataItems of the grid as an array to that object. And then I can send it to the controller as JSON. I can get that to work.

But the problem is that the grid.dataItem() method returns only the original data (even if I delete a record).
How can I get the actual dataItems of the grid (unmodified, changed or added)?

Hello Jaap,

You could use the Grid`s client side changeLog property. It contains properties for the updated,deleted and inserted items when using InCell editing.
I attached a project which shows exactly how to get them. I hope it helps.

Ok, will give it a try.
Seems the documentation is not up to date on http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-mvc/telerik-ui-components-grid-client-api-and-events.html#ClientProperties else I whould have seen it, I think.
