Unable to invoke insert row

[Brian]

Using .NET 3.5 and C#. Trying to invoke the insert mode in my RadGrid. I have a FormTemplate set up. From the main page I call a popup window from which an item is selected that will govern the defaults for a new row in my RadGrid. The popup closes as follows:

 

        function TemplateSelected2() {
            if (window.opener != null && window.opener.StartNewLineItem != null) {

                // Call the parent window function to create a new line item
                if (templateID != "") {
                    window.opener.StartNewLineItem(templateID);
                }
                window.close();
            }
        }

 

 

 

Back on the main form, StartNewLineItem is meant to invoke the insert mode of the RadGrid
 

    function StartNewLineItem(templateID) {
        alert("start new line item");
        alert(templateID);

        // Start a new line item

        var tableView = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
        tableView.IsItemInserted = true;
        tableView.rebind();

        // Copy values from the selected template into the new line item
        // <TODO>
        alert("after insert mode");
    }

 

The code runs without error, but does not put the RadGrid in Insert mode.

Is there a particular setting needed besides setting IsItemInserted=true and calling rebind() ?

Thanks.

Hello Brian,

You need to fire the InitInsertCommand as shown in the following help article:
