Making custom editor cell "dirty"

[Brian Roth]

I have a grid where one of the cells uses a custom editor to bind to a DropDownList.  The column is bound to a "DepartmentName" property and the DropDownList binds to an associated "DepartmentId" value from my model.  After the user edits the cell, I want it to show the dirty indicator.  It doesn't happen automatically, which I think is because the column property doesn't match the edit control's id.  But is there a way to force the cell to render as dirty?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian,

The red cell indicator is a span element with class .k-dirty. If you append it to the corresponding <td> element, it will render as dirty.
I hope this information will help you to solve the problem.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the tip!  That got me pointed in the right direction, but I ended up having to add the .k-dirty-cell class to the td element to get it to work.
