[Solved] Two update bottons for edit form

[Heinz]

Hi,
is it possible to work in an edit form with two update buttons? One should update form values to database and keep in edit mode, the other should update and close edit mode. I did some trials with "KeepInEditMode" but without success.
Maybe there is a sample available?
Thanks for feedback and Regards
Heinz
p.s. of course title should be "buttons"

Hi Heinz,

You can use place the two buttons in FormTemplate of RadGrid as shown below.

ASPX:

<telerik:radgrid id="RadGrid1" runat="server" allowpaging="True" datasourceid="SqlDataSource1" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand">
<MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" EditMode="EditForms" >
<EditFormSettings EditColumn-ButtonType="PushButton" EditFormType="Template">
<FormTemplate>
    <asp:Button ID="button" runat="server" Text="Update and Close" CommandName="Update" /> <br />
    <asp:Button ID="button1" runat="server" Text="Update" CommandName="UpdateClose"  />
       . . .
</FormTemplate>
</EditFormSettings>
<Columns>
 . . .
</Columns>
</MasterTableView>
</telerik:radgrid>

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "UpdateClose")
    {
        //update query
        e.Canceled = true;
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi,
I have still a problem with this stuff. Button "update" should update to database and close editform. Button "UpdateKeepEdit" should update to database and keep in edit mode. I tried like suggested but didn't get "e.Canceled = True" to work. I found a solution with "editedItem.Edit = False" like shown in the code. But I am wondering why e.Canceled won't work. Here is the code from ItemCommand.
Thanks
Heinz

    Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCommand
        Dim tmpBool As Boolean = False

        If ((e.CommandName = "Update") Or (e.CommandName = "UpdateKeepEdit")) Then
            Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(TryCast((e.CommandSource), Button).NamingContainer, GridEditableItem)
            Dim tmpArticleID As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(editedItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues(editedItem.ItemIndex)("id").ToString())
            Dim tmpText As String = (TryCast(editedItem.FindControl("Text1"), RadEditor)).Content

            Write2DB(tmpArticleID, tmpText)

            If e.CommandName = "Update" Then
                'update query
                'e.Canceled = True
                editedItem.Edit = False
            Else
                tmpBool = False
                'e.Canceled = False

            End If
        End If

    End Sub

Hello Heinz,

Canceling the ItemCommand event will prevent the grid's automatic operations from being executed. For example, if you need to use automatic inserts and you trigger and insert command, in case you cancel the event no item will be inserted. When manually handing the update operation in code behind there are two possible ways for closing the edit form:

- the first is the one you have already implemented.

- the second: RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ClearEditItems();

I hope this information helps.
