Default Data in Add New Row

[Peter Titus]

I am looking for a way to default data into the add new row in the Grid Grouping Control (v. 3.3). I have a simple grouping with a group name and several items under it.

Thanks for any help.

You can try handling CurrentRecordContextChange and set the defaults there if you are starting to edit a record.

private void gridGroupingControl1_CurrentRecordContextChange(object sender, Syncfusion.Grouping.CurrentRecordContextChangeEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.Action == CurrentRecordAction.BeginEditComplete && e.Record is GridAddNewRecord)
	{
		GridAddNewRecord rec = e.Record as GridAddNewRecord;
		rec.SetValue("Col0", "Col0Default");
		rec.SetValue("Col1", "Col1Default");
		rec.SetValue("Col2", "Col2Default");
		rec.SetValue("Col3", "Col3Default");
	}
}

Thanks for the help Clay. This worked well.

I wouldn''t mind seeing this as a property in the columns collection. It would be nice to be able to handle this at design time.

If you are using DataTables as the datasource for the grid, you can set the DataColumn.DefaultValue property for each column to provide a default value and the grid will use this. This way, you do not have to handle an event.
