Hi,

I have a page which displays a master record and contains one or more grids which display child records. The grids use user controls for displaying the data in edit mode.

If a user saves the master record (by clicking a SAVE button) while one of the child grids is still in edit mode, I would like to save the child grids automatically, ie find out if they are in edit or insert mode, retrieve the control values from the usercontrol and call insert/update on the data model (after validation).

If the insert/update is triggered by an event (Button Click), it is handled as follows: 

  protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)   
   {   
       
//Get the GridEditableItem of the RadGrid     
       
GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;  
....

What I would like to to when the master record is saved:

protected void btnSave_Click(.....)  //Save event of master record
{
...Save master record...

If (childGrid.IsInEditMode)
{
    GridEditableItem editedItem = childGrid.GetCurrentEditableItem();  //How can this be achieved
    ChildObject co = GetData(editableItem):

    if (editableItem.IsInInsertMode())  //How can this be achieved
    {
        datamodel.insert(co):
    }
    else
    {
        datamodel.update(co);
    }
}
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

To verify whether a grid table view is currently in insert mode you can use the GridTableView.IsItemInserted property. To get the insert item itself just utilize the GetInsertItem() method of the GridTableView object. Here is how this could look in your case:
if (childGrid.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted)
{
     GridEditableItem insertItem = childGrid.MasterTableView.GetInsertItem();
     //do something with the item
}

To verify whether some grid items are in edit mode and get references to these items, I would suggest that you use the grid's EditItems property. For more information about this property please check the following help topic (the "Using the EditItems collection" section)

Edit forms

I hope this helps.
