[Solved] Update row on row exit

[Matthew Johnson]

I have a hierarchal grid with two levels (master and details).  When a master level record is expanded all detail records are automatically put into Edit mode.  As the user tabs through each detail record I would like to save their work automatically (no mouse clicks, no enter key).  When the user exits the row the record is saved.  

This is going to be a high speed data entry application and mgt does not even want to display the update/cancle buttons on each detail record.

 What would be the best method for achieving this?

ok after doing a lot of digging, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this.  I looks like I'm going to have to use a template edit form and attempt to hook onblur events and call the db update.

Any other ideas.

Hello Matthew,

I suggest that you check out this code library on editing records on row double click in hierarchical grid. You can see how the changes are tracked for the edited items and try implementing it in your scenario.

That's not what is wanted.  The app requires no mouse click to edit the record.  Currently I'm exploring code from the code library to directly edit a cell, without placing the entire row in edit mode.

Thanks

Hello Matthew,

I assume that in the mention code library you can find useful the code for tracking changes for the editable inputs. And thus implement your logic on with items to update and which not to.

All the best,
