Switching between edit modes

[earl]

I have implemented the "Edit on Double-click" functionaliy found in the online demo for my grid, but I need users to be able to edit in popup mode using a form template if they click a button column that I have added. That same popup needs to be used for new item inserts as well.

Here is the column I added:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" CommandName="Edit2" Text="Edit2"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

and here is the code behind:

Protected Sub radgridItems_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs)

        If e.CommandName = RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName Then 'add new item clicked

            If radgridItems.MasterTableView.EditMode <> GridEditMode.PopUp Then
                radgridItems.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.PopUp
                radgridItems.Rebind()
            End If

            e.Canceled = True
            e.Item.OwnerTableView.InsertItem()

    ElseIf e.CommandName = "Edit2" Then 'custom button

            If radgridItems.MasterTableView.EditMode <> GridEditMode.PopUp Then
                radgridItems.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.PopUp
                radgridItems.Rebind()
            End If

            radgridItems.MasterTableView.Items(e.CommandArgument()).Edit = True
            radgridItems.Rebind()

        ElseIf e.CommandName = "Edit" Then 'normal edit

            If radgridItems.MasterTableView.EditMode <> GridEditMode.InPlace Then
                radgridItems.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.InPlace
                radgridItems.Rebind()
            End If

            radgridItems.MasterTableView.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).Edit = True
            radgridItems.Rebind()

        End If

End Sub

The problem is that the popup does not display when the user clicks the "Edit2" column or when they click "Add new record". Curiously though, the row is highlighted in yellow as if it was set to edit mode. What am I doing wrong here?

Hello earl,

I suggest you review the implementation for the second grid in this online demo of the product:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/popupeditform/defaultcs.aspx

Additionally, note that you do not need to rebind the grid explicitly from within the ItemCommand handler when regular Edit on InitInsert command is triggered because these are two of the actions which rebind the control implicitly. You may also test whether setting the popup edit mode declaratively makes a difference.

Hi,

I appreciate your response, but I don't see how that link relates to my issue specifically. I noticed that if I set the EditMode to EditForms then everything works okay. After more digging, I determined that the issue is somehow related to using ASP RequiredFieldValidator controls on a template edit form in combination with programmatically switching the edit mode to PopUp. The Grid appears to enter edit mode, but the popup itself does not appear and the OnPopup event does not fire. Removing the RequiredFieldValidators makes the popup work fine. Have you seen anything like this before?

Thank you,
Earl

Hi earl,

We have not been contacted with regards to a similar problem before. The best means to progress in our investigation is to assemble a stripped working version of your project, illustrating the abnormality, and send it enclosed to a regular support ticket. We will test/debug it locally and will get back to you with our findings.

Kind regards,
