Telerik MVC Grid - Inline Edit: Save when leaving row

[Stefan]

Hi,

we implemented the functionality like described here: https://www.telerik.com/forums/auto-save-row-when-moving-to-the-next-row#login

This works well when switching rows inside the grid, but unfortunately it doesn't work when leaving the grid, or when using any of the function buttons (NEW, DELETE) inside the grid.

Is there an easy way to handle these cases too?

Hello Stefan,

 

Thank you for contacting us.

You can try to run the .saveChanges() method within the .Events(e=>e.CellClose(...)) handler of the grid:
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/events/cellclose

Or within the onblur event handler of the input itself.

Feel free to give this solution a try and let me know about the result.

 

Regards,

Hi Eyup,

thank you for the input, but how would I find out if I have left the row/the grid with this?

Is there an event maybe which triggers on leaving a row or the grid (and not the cell)?

[Eyup]

I am afraid the Grid does not provide a similar event for the row, but you can try to attach a global onblur event handler to the grid's wrapper element. You can also check the document.activeElement instance capabilities.

For more accurate suggestions, can you open a formal support ticket and send us a very basic isolated MVC app simulating your project? Then, we will be able to provide more precise approach.
