Raising an "inplace insert" from the RadToolBar

[tjans]

I'm attempting to perform an inplace/inline insert in a RadGrid from a RadToolBarButton click event.

Editing is easy because I just set the ItemCommand = "Edit" and the inline edit templates load for me, but since the Toolbar is outside of the grid, how can I accomplish this task?

My toolbar sits above my grid and basically has an "Add New" button on it, and when clicked, it should provide me an insert row...

Hi,

Try the code snippet below to achieve the following scenario in the ToolBar click

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted=True;

Thanks,
Princy

Hi guys,

You also need to rebind the grid afterwards (invoking its Rebind() method) to reflect the changes.

Worked like a charm fellas...thanks!

A related question, so the insert command still opens the <EditTemplate>?  My <EditTemplate> contains two buttons, one with a commandname of Update and one with a commandname of Cancel.  Since there is no <InsertTemplate>, how can I set it up so the update button becomes an insert button?

I assume you'd have to get a handle on the row and hide or show the button depending on the command you've fired...unless there's a better way than that...

Hello travis.jansen,

The text of the update/insert button should be automatically changed for the auto-generated edit form of the grid. If you use custom edit form (FormTemplate or WebUserControl), consider changing the text for those buttons declaratively with appropriate binding expression.

Review the following examples/help topic for more details:

Well, there is no text, it's just a button and it has a command name of Update.  Does the command name of that button then automatically get changed to "Insert" when you're doing an insert?

I'll take a look at those examples, thank you for your prompt response...
