Using the "Add new Record" button for other actions

[Paul Davies]

Hi,

I am trying to use the "Add new Record" button of the RadGrid to fire a confirmation message to our users.  I have achieved this by capturing the event in RadGrid_ItemCommand method which works perfectly, but the edit form still shows even though I don't want it to.
Is there a way to hide/remove the edit form so that the users will not see it?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Hi,

You can pass the response from the RadConfirm using AjaxRequest and there by close the insert form.Here is the sample code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server" OnAjaxRequest="RadAjaxManager1_AjaxRequest">
  <AjaxSettings>
       <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadAjaxManager1">
            <UpdatedControls>
                  <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>
<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server"></telerik:RadWindowManager>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
   {
       RadWindowManager1.RadConfirm("Server radconfirm: Are you sure?", "confirmCallBackFn", 330, 100, null, "Server RadConfirm");
   }
}
protected void RadAjaxManager1_AjaxRequest(object sender, AjaxRequestEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Argument.ToString() == "cancel")
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = false;
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }
}

Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
{
   var ajaxManager = $find("<%=RadAjaxManager1.ClientID%>");
   if (arg)
   {
      ajaxManager.ajaxRequest('ok');
   }
   else
   {
      ajaxManager.ajaxRequest('cancel');
   }
}
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Shinu,

im having the same question/request and you answer doesnt seem to solve the problem mentioned: How to avoid the grid's Edit mode to show when clicking on the button? I tried your snippet but edit mode still occurs.

TIA

Hello Paul,

You will need to use e.Canceled=true to prevent the automatic opening of the InitForm. You could also try the following approach:

<asp:HiddenField ID="Confirmed" runat="server" Value="false" />

JavaScript:

function confirmCallBackFn(arg) {
    if (arg) {
        $get("<%=Confirmed.ClientID%>").value = true;
        $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID%>").get_masterTableView().fireCommand("InitInsert", "");
    }
}

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
    {
        if (Confirmed.Value != "true")
        {
            e.Canceled = true;
            RadWindowManager1.RadConfirm("Open Insert Form?", "confirmCallBackFn", 330, 100, null, "Confirmation");
        }
        Confirmed.Value = "false";
    }
}

I hope this will prove helpful.

All the best,
