[Solved] Which event for "Add new record"?

[scrut]

Right now I have a RadGrid with its MasterTableView's "CommandItemDisplay="Top"" configured.

This setting shows a "Add new record" control above the Grid and allows inserting a new item.

But I don't want this control to be shown. Instead, I want to use a regular button somewhere else on the ASP page. When pressed, the Grid should behave just like it would be upon clicking the "Add new record" button.

Which event does the Button have to trigger in the RadGrid in order for this behaviour to show?

Thanks

Hi Scrut,

Try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

ASPX:

    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />

CS:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;
     }

Thanks
Princy.

Thanks for your very helpful reply.
However, the desired effect only occurs after clicking that button twice.
(I use Prometheus 415 - in case that makes a difference)

Oh, and for some reason, the 

GridDropDownColumns I use remain empty when I do it this way.

If I use CommandItemDisplay="Top" in  MasterTableView, everything works fine

Hello scrut,

You need to rebind the grid in order the new settings to take effect:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;
    RadGrid1.Rebind();
}

Let us know if we could help you further.
