New Insert after Insert or Update

[Alessandro]

Hi, 

I've a grid with a custom editor template.

I need to open a new popup for a new record insert after the user updated o inserted the record before by clicking on a dedicated button

How can I do that?

Hi Alessandro,

You can use the requestEnd event handler of the grid DataSource instance to achieve this requirement:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource#events-requestEnd

You can check its type argument and if it equals "update", you can use the client-side API of the grid widget to open a new insert form or edit a given record:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-addRow

I hope this will prove helpful.

Hi,

thank you for your answer, but the DataSource's event requestEnd is fired only ones at grid loaded.

Hi Alessandro,

It should be raised on other actions as well. Alternatively, you can also experiment with the change event handler:

Hi,
thank you, now it works.
But when i do this:
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
grid.addRow();

I find a new empty line on the grid and the pop-up doesn't appear
I've already configured the grid for editing in popup mode
Thank you

Hi Alessandro,

Generally, the method should work as expected:

You can enable your script debugger (FireBug or F12) and see whether there are any script errors interfering.
