need your help with grid client api

[Arsalan]

okai i am following a tutorial on rad grid  using hierarchies  , so when  on command event is triggered from the nested table  i want to get a reference to the parent row that contains this nested table i am pasting the logic that is used in the tutorial , but its rather very complicated


function RadGrid2_Command(sender, args) {

   ordersView = sender.get_masterTableView();
    var nestedViewItem = sender.get_element().parentNode.parentNode;
    var parentGridDataItem = $find(Telerik.Web.UI.Grid.GetNodePreviousSiblingByTagName(nestedViewItem, "tr").id);
    var customerID = parentGridDataItem.getDataKeyValue("CustomerID");

    args.set_cancel(true);

    ordersCommandName = args.get_commandName();

    WebService.GetOrdersByCustomerID(customerID, ordersView.get_currentPageIndex() * ordersView.get_pageSize(), ordersView.get_pageSize(),
                    ordersView.get_sortExpressions().toString(), ordersView.get_filterExpressions().toDynamicLinq(),
                        updateOrdersGrid);
}

but why cant i use 
   var c = sender.get_masterTableView().get_parentRow();
method ?, its returning null  when i use it in the on command event  , and if any one of you can please explain me the logic behind the on command event that i have pasted , i will be much grateful!!!

Hello,

You can easily get the parent row of the nested table with the following js

sender.get_element().parentNode.parentNode

I hope this helps.
