Single in-line editable row - how

[xav]

We are using the grid to display forecast data.  it has about 15 rows.  In all but two rows, we are doing custom editing (launching another screen to edit values).  We use a column with our custom buttons to do launch the secondary screen.

In two of the rows, we would like to have in-line editing.  We'll use the same custom buttons to do this. However, we cannot find a way to programmatically put a row into in-line editing (EDIT MODE).  Is there a way to do this?  All we are able to do is to make the entire grid in-line editable and that is not what we desire. 

TIA!

Hello Xavier,

The grid has the editRow method which switches the specified table row in edit mode. You can use it within the click handler of the custom command as follows:

function onEditCommandClick(e) {
  e.preventDefault();

  this.editRow($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
}
