Programmatically fire up add new from rad grid (InitInsert)

[Mass Media Developer]

I’m using Telerik Controls for ASP.NET AJAX.
Basically I want to programatically (in C#) click on the “Add New” button
from a Rad Grid. So on page load I want the "add new window" to
be visible rather than the user has to click on the button.
I think this would simply be just calling a function but I just can’t
figure it out.
Can someone help please?
The CommandName for this action is InitInsert.

I figured it out.

    protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
    {
        myGrid.MasterTableView.InsertItem();
        base.OnPreRender(e);
    }

Hi  Nick,

You can also try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

CS:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;
    }

Thanks

How about overiding the AddnewButton functionality.

I need to open a new tab on the browser and cancel any other functionality embedded in the grid.

How can I achieve this ?

Thanks

Hello,

You can cancel embedded command by below code snippet.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
            {
                // you cancel any embedded command by below code
                e.Canceled = true;
            }
        }

Thanks,
