Get the RadGrid Data Item in the Client-Side OnCommand Event
Environment
| Product | Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX |
| Version | 2026.3.811 |
Description
The client-side OnCommand event does not expose the clicked button or a CommandSource property. For Edit and Delete commands, the command argument contains the item index. You can use that index with the client-side table view to retrieve the corresponding data item when the grid uses client-side binding.
Solution
Register a client-side OnCommand handler and use get_commandArgument() to retrieve the item index. Then retrieve the item from get_dataItems() and call get_dataItem().
function onCommand(sender, args) {
var commandName = args.get_commandName();
if (commandName == "Edit" || commandName == "Delete") {
var itemIndex = args.get_commandArgument();
var dataItems = args.get_tableView().get_dataItems();
var dataItem = dataItems[itemIndex].get_dataItem();
console.log(dataItem);
}
}The command argument is an item index, not the clicked button element. If you need the button itself, handle its click separately and resolve the parent row from the DOM. The server-side CommandSource and Item properties do not have client-side equivalents in OnCommand.
