Reload on Closing Grid without Editing Data

[Jackie]

I'm looking for a way to reload my grid's data, when users use the "Update" button to exit out of the popup editor, without having actually edited any data. As far as I can tell, unless a user edits some data before hitting "Update," no event is fired. Is that correct?

I have an odd situation where I need the grid to reload its data even if no data has been edited. Is there a way for me to do that?

Hi Jackie,

You can use the Grid save event to check whether the row has been edited by the user and if it hasn't, trigger a Grid DataSource read manually:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.ProductViewModel>()
    .Name("grid")
    .Events(events => events.Save("onSave"))

function onSave(e) {
    if (!e.model.dirty) {
        e.sender.dataSource.read();
    }
}

When an item value is edited, the dirty property of the item model is internally set to true. In the case you described, when there are no changes to the item, it will be false and the Grid will not trigger a save and read by itself for optimization purposes.

Thank you Tsvetina! That works perfectly.
