Selecting row on Delete click

[Eliyahu Goldin]

Is there a way to make a row selected on clicking Delete button?

In my grid, I have a GridButtonColumn with a Delete button. I use a classic confirmation dialog. When I click the Delete button on a grid row, I would like the row to become Selected before the confirmation dialog is produced. With the row selected, the dialog could contain just a generic text "Woud you like to delete the selected row?". As it is now, it is not clear from the dialog what row is about to be deleted.

Hi,

Try accessing the linkButton of the GridButtonColumn in the code behind and add a client event for the LinkButton and select the clicked item on the client side as shown below.

ASPX:

  <telerik:GridButtonColumn UniqueName="DeleteCol" Text="Delete"  CommandName="DeleteItem" ></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            int RowIndex = item.ItemIndex;
            LinkButton lnkbtn = (LinkButton)item["DeleteCol"].Controls[0];
            lnkbtn.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "return Select('" + RowIndex + "');");
        }

    }

JS:

 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >

        function Select(RowIndex)
        {
         var RadGrid1 = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
         RadGrid1.get_masterTableView().get_dataItems()[RowIndex].set_selected("true");
         alert('Do you want to delete the Selected Item?')
        }
  </script >

Cheers

In my case this looks too complicated. I inherit my grid from RadGrid and already have some logic involving ConfirmText property of GridButtonColumn. There are too many ends to tie together. I was hoping for something simpler.

Thank you anyway!
