How can I check the return value of the ClientSideBeforeEditItem event? I want to know if user cancel editing row and perform some action in that case.
Thanks!

Hi,
There isn't an ClientSideBeforeEditItem. I am assuming that you mean CustomColumn.ClientSideBeginEdit. But in any case, all ClientSideXXXX events are a function provided by you. In the case of ClientSideBeginEdit, you would simply do whatever you want to do inside the function you provided and then return false to cancel the edit.
Thanks

Yes, there is. It is introduced in 6.0.40 version, so it is new feature: http://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/eo.web.grid.clientsidebeforeedititem.htmlI have declared events in the grid:
Code: HTML/ASPX
<eo:Grid ID="Grid2" runat="server" BorderColor="#828790" BorderWidth="1px"
ColumnHeaderAscImage="00050204" ColumnHeaderDescImage="00050205"
ColumnHeaderDividerImage="00050203" ColumnHeaderHeight="24"
FixedColumnCount="1" Font-Bold="False" Font-Italic="False" Font-Names="Tahoma" FullRowMode="true"
Font-Overline="False" Font-Size="9pt" Font-Strikeout="False" Font-Underline="False" GridLineColor="240, 240, 240" GridLines="Both"
Height="500px" Width="880px" RunningMode="Client" AllowNewItem="False"
ClientSideOnLoad="Grid2_OnLoad" ClientSideBeforeEditItem="Grid2_BeforeEditItem" ClientSideAfterEditItem="Grid2_AfterEditItem">
and created appropriate javascript functions:
Code: JavaScript
var EditItemNumber = -1;
function Grid2_BeforeEditItem(item) {
EditItemNumber = item.getIndex();
}
function Grid2_AfterEditItem(item) {
EditItemNumber = -1;
}
As you can see from javascript code I want to set EditItemNumber when user enters edit mode and reset EditItemNumber to -1 when user exits edit mode. But I can't reset EditItemNumber when user for example pres esc key. In that case the Grid2_AfterEditItem is not triggered. Is there a way how to reset that var when user cancels editing item?

Hi,
ClientSideAfterItemEdit is only called when an item has been updated. For example, if you have a EditCommandColumn and you put the row into edit mode by clicking "Edit". If you click "Update" to exit edit mode, then ClientSideAfterItemEdit will be called. However if you click "Cancel" to exit edit mode, then it will not be called.
There does pose a void which causes you not able to track the current edit item. We will see if we can add the following:
1. Add a function on the Grid so that you can get the current edit item directly. Similar to Grid.getSelectedItem;
2. Add an additional parameter to ClientSideAfterItemEdit so that the function is called both on "Update" and "Cancel". The additional parameter would be used to distinguish whether it was an update or cancel;
We will post again as soon as we have any update on that.
Thanks!

Hi,
We have posted a new build that added:
1. getEditItem and getEditCell on the client side Grid object;
2. An additional parameter for ClientSideAfterItemEdit to indicate whether the function was called by "update" or "cancel";
Please see your private message for download location.
Thanks!

Yes! That's it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
BUT!
You have to be very careful regard this implementation. Now ClientSideAfterEditItem event will be triggered either user updates or cancels grid item. I suppose most programmers call web service method for saving some data regardless of user action because (untill now) this event has been triggered only in the case if user updates row and now all programmers have to check the second argument and call that method only in case if user updates row.
Sorry again because my English. I hope this warning is clear.
