[Solved] JS Version of IsInEditMode?

[Michael]

I need to know if my grid is in edit/insert mode from the client side. Can one of you guys tell me how I should approach this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Michael,

Please test the following approach:

if(radGridClientObject._editIndexes.length > 0)
    //edit mode

Hi Daniel
What would be the syntax to use for the 'classic' grid control?
Thanks,

Hello Tonino,

You can traverse the rows and check their ItemType:

var mtable = window["RadGrid1"].MasterTableView;
for(var rowNum = 0; rowNum < mtable.Rows; rowNum++)
{
    if(mtable.Rows[rowNum].ItemType.indexOf("Edit") != -1)
        //this item is in edit mode
}

Hi Daniel
Had to change mtable.Rows to mtable.Rows.length in the for-loop, but now it works for update. To detect inserts I check IsItemInserted.

Here the complete code:

function AlertIfEditOrInsertMode() {
   var mtv = window["RadGrid1"].MasterTableView;
   if (mtv.IsItemInserted) {
      alert('Terminate insert/update first!');
      return true;
   }
   for (var rowNum = 0; rowNum < mtv.Rows.length; rowNum++) {
      if (mtv.Rows[rowNum].ItemType.indexOf("Edit") != -1) {
         alert('Terminate insert/update first!');
         return true;
      }
   }
   return false;
}

Thanks!

Tonino.
