CancelCommandDirective

Updated on Feb 6, 2026

Represents the cancel command of the Grid. Apply this directive to any button element inside a CommandColumnComponent (see example).

When a button with this directive is clicked, the cancel event is triggered. If the row is not in edit mode, the button is automatically hidden.

You can customize the button content based on the row's state.
