[Solved] Issue with changing selected items of Detailtable to edit mode

[Ravikumar]

Hi,

I am having a hierarchial grid which is created dynamically and can have n level of hierarchy with each level having one detail table.
I create template columns dynamically and add it to the grid and use "ServerOnDemand" for hierarchial load mode.
My issue is when i change the parent item to edit mode, its relevant detail table records also should be changed to edit mode.

How can i set the particular rows of the child detail table to edit template?

Can anyone help in solving this issue.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ravi,

Try the following code snippet to set the Detail table in edit mode when its corresponding parent row is in edit mode.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
            if (item.Edit && item.HasChildItems)
            {
                GridTableView childTable = (GridTableView)item.ChildItem.NestedTableViews[0];

                foreach (GridDataItem childitem in childTable.Items)
                {
                    childitem.Edit = true;
                }
            }
        }
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

    }

Thanks

Hi Shinu,

Thanks for your suggestion. When i implement the code snippet, the child table details get cleared after calling the RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();. When i remove the rebind the data is getting displayed but in read only mode.

I am using DetailsTableDataBind() event to bind data to the child table.
Do we need to perform any specific operation when using DetailsTableDataBind() event?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ravi,

Go through the following code library submission which explains how to persist the  expanded/selected state in hierarchy on rebind.
