Keep row in edit mode

[CalebH]

Let me lay out the desired functionality and see if y'all can help me.

 

I have a grid that uses inline editing. When a row is being edited, if the user then clicks the edit button on another row it switches the row edit, no matter if the current row has changed data or not. What I would like to happen is that the user cannot switch the editing row if it is dirty.

 

My initial thought was just use the BeforeEdit event and check if there was a currently edited row and preventDefault. Since the currently edited row switches before the BeforeEdit event is triggered this did not work.

Hi Caleb,

You can achieve this requirement using the approach demonstrated in the following article:
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-prevent-editing-when-editing

In addition, you can also check:

I hope this will prove helpful.
