Modify Insert Grid Item in Postback

[Kyle]

For reference, I am using version 2008.03.1125.35.

I have a row still in insert mode and am trying to set a value during a postback.  I have a text box with an affiliated button which launches a different window which allows users to select a value.  When that value is chosen, I want to modify the text box value of the grid in the resultant postback.

It looks like the values of the grid are entirely set by the postback data and databinding is skipped.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to do this?  Or point me at examples. 

I looked for quite awhile but did not find anything -- sorry if I missed something obvious. 

My thanks to anyone who looks at this.

Hello Kyle,

You can get a reference, in this case, to the insert item, as shown in the code snippet below:

.cs

  protected void RadGrid2_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (RadGrid2.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted)
        {
            GridEditableItem insertItem = (GridEditableItem)RadGrid2.MasterTableView.GetInsertItem();
            (insertItem["UnitPrice"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text = "CustomValue";
        }
    }

I hope this suggestion helps.

Best wishes,

Yes, this helps.  I had been doing it too early so it was being overwritten when the state was being processed.  Doing it in prerender is the natural solution.

Thanks a lot.
