New Item After Insert

[Mark]

I have an interesting scenario:

I have an editable rad-grid with a SQL back-end.  I would like, after a new row is inserted, to "Add a new record," open in edit mode (not inserted yet), with some information from the previous entry.  Is this at all possible?

Some sort of User prompt for the type of the subsequent entry would be handy as well.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I guess you want to open the currently inserted record in edit mode. Please try the following code snippet.

C#:

 bool isItemInserted = false;

 static  string value=string.Empty;

 bool isCancel = false;

 

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

  isItemInserted = true;

}

 

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

{     

    if((value != null)&&(!isCancel))

    {

        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)

        {

            string val = item["ID"].Text;

            if (string.Compare(val, value) == 0)//Comparing the value to identify currently inserted item


            {

                item.Edit = true;

                isItemInserted = false;

                RadGrid1.Rebind();

            }

        }

    }     

}

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

    if ((e.CommandName == RadGrid.CancelCommandName)||(e.CommandName==RadGrid.UpdateCommandName))

    {

        isCancel = true;

    }

}

protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

    {

      //Code to Update


    }

}

Thanks,
