Hi All,

Is it possible to make a single cell in the grid editable on mouse click so that changes are made without any postbacks?

We are trying to do 3 different things here -

1) Clicking on a cell should make it editable allowing the user to make any changes. This happens entirely on clientside with no postbacks (not ajax either). Pretty much making the editable control visible or something along those lines.

2) Clicking somewhere outside that cell should revert it back to normal mode. The cell should now show the new value if something was changed but its only in the grid and nothing has been posted back to the server yet.

3) When user is done changing cells, then he can choose to click some button to finally commit all those changes to the database.

An example of #1 and #2 would be in Infragistics WebGrid -
http://samples.infragistics.com/2009.1/WebFeatureBrowser/Default.aspx -> WebDataGrid -> Data Editing -> Editor Providers

Is this doable with RadGrid?

Thanks,
Manoj

Hello Manoj,

RadGrid does not provide opening an item in edit mode entirely on the client, as the edit form needs to be initialized on the server. What  you can do is place all your items in edit mode with EditMode="InPlace" so that you wil get all your item editors shown and every item will be editable.

Best wishes,

Hi,
Has the above functionality been added to the newer versions?

Hello Ashish,

RadGrid currently does not support client-side item editors off-the-shelf, and we cannot give any particular schedules as to when or if this will be ever implemented. However, you can refer to the RadGrid client edit with batch server updates online demo to see how RadGrid can be customized to support client-side row editing, where changes are committed all at once to the server.

Kind regards,
