Insert Record on Tab

[RvdGrint]

Hello,

I've a RadGrid with EditMode="InPlace". The Grid is based on a DataTable as datasource. When pressing tab on de last field of the last record I would like to update/insert the current and add a new record.
Is that possible with a RadGrid and if so can someone provide me with a sample?

Regards,

Hi Jos,

 You can fire such a command on the client using the fireCommand function of the MasterTableView. But this will only work for one command at a time. Because each you fire a command the page refreshes and the grid reloads that's why two consecutive command cannot be fired at the same time. Another option would be to fire a custom command (fireCommand("MyCustomCommand")). And then handle this in the ItemCommand event of the grid. Then you can execute the logic for saving the record and additionally put the Grid in insert mode by setting: RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true; The last part that remains is to hook up the onblur event for the last field of the last record in the grid. You can do this either in the ItemCommand or the PreRender event when the item is already in edit mode. Then you can access the last control (presumably a textbox) as shown in this help topic and wire up the onblur event to it: 

GridDataItem item = RadGrid1.Items[RadGrid1.Items.Count - 1];

        if (item is GridEditableItem && (item as GridEditableItem).IsInEditMode)
        {
            TextBox txb = item["LastColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0] as TextBox;
            txb.Attributes["onblur"] = "myFunction(); return false";
        }
