Telerik GridToolBarTemplate GridCommandButton Add - Can we pass data to it?

[Glenn]

I have a TelerikGrid that the first column will open a TelerikWindow with a TelerikUpload. This is so that the user can upload files to the server that will be associated with the object. The object being edited has values that depend on the file being uploaded. For example, the file being uploaded has a File Name. If the File Name already exists, I want to change the name of the file currently being uploaded to include the Revision number at the end of the file name. For example, we have a file on the server named TestFile.pdf, and I am uploading a file named TestFile.pdf. If TestFile.pdf exists, I want to check what the revision of the TestFile.pdf that's already uploaded is, and add it to the end of the file name (TestFile_rev0.pdf). That part is simple, because it's just manipulation of the saved file on the server. However, the new file being uploaded I want to then change the name of it to TestFile_rev1.pdf, and I can do that and save it to the server, but the object in the grid that's currently being added, I need to pass the data to that object being edited, however it will not pass the data. How can we do that?

I was able to solve this problem. I realized that my CurrentItem was working as expected after some additional testing.

Hi Glenn,

I'm glad to hear that you have quickly resolved the matter on your own.

Thank you for sharing how things turned out publicly so other developers in the same situation can benefit from this.

Kind Regards,

Hristian
