UserAddedRow event not fired when in the empty space in the grid

[Vincent Willems]

Hi,

When I want to add a new row (by the 'add new row line') to my grid, it works fine when I commit the new row by pushing the 'enter' key. But when I fill in some new data in the new row line and I click (by mouse) in the empty space in the grid. The new row appears in the grid but its not commited,& it does not fire the UserAddedRow event.
How is it possible to make the new data is commited not by pressing the 'enter' key but by clicking in the empty space in the grid?

Kind regards

Hello Vincent Willems,

Thank you for contacting us.

This appears to be an issue and I logged it in our issue tracking system. We will address it in one of our upcoming releases. I updated also your Telerik points for bringing our attention to this issue.

You can work around it by using the RowsChanged event instead:

void radGridView1_RowsChanged(object sender, GridViewCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add)
    {
        //...
    }
}

If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to write back.

Kind regards,

I have a similar need.  I cannot find the event which fires when the user clicks on the "add new row" link on RadGrid.

I need to do somethings before the user sees the insertion form.

Been looking all over for this event, can't seem to find it.

Thx.

BTW: when are you going to improve your documentation??  :)

Hello Ralph,

Clicking on the "Add new row" link changes the current row, so you can handle the CurrentRowChanged event:

void radGridView1_CurrentRowChanged(object sender, CurrentRowChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CurrentRow is GridViewNewRowInfo)
    {
        //...
    }
}

However, I think that in you case the DefaultValuesNeeded event is more suitable. It fires when adding a new row, just before entering edit mode:

void radGridView1_DefaultValuesNeeded(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    e.Row.Cells["ID"] = GenerateNewID();
    //...
}

If this does not help, please describe in detail the behavior that you want to achieve and I will be glad to help further.

We constantly try to improve our documentation and we appreciate any specific suggestions that you may have.
 
All the best,
Jack
