How to set the GridAddNewRecord as the current record in GGC

[Administrator]

Hi,
Can you help? I have a method that will be used to add new records to GGC, but I need that record to be the current record so that text boxes linked to it will show what is being added on a per cell basis.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can use the UnsortedRecords property to find the newly record and set that record as current record using the SetCurrent method. Below is a code snippet

int Oldcount = this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.UnsortedRecords.Count;

DataTable dt = this.gridGroupingControl1.DataSource as DataTable;
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["Col1"] = "NewValue";
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
dt.AcceptChanges();

this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.UnsortedRecords[Oldcount].SetCurrent("ColumnName");
this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.UnsortedRecords[Oldcount].SetSelected(true);

Thanks; Actually, what I mean is the row for new records (with the *), the GridAddNewRecord, which I guess has cells of type GridTableCellType.AddNewRecordFieldCell -
I want to be able to 'see' the events (data entry) in that row and display them in text boxes, so I need it to be the current record...

Thanks again!

Hi,

One way you can do this by handling the CurrentRecordContextChange event of the grid and call the Table.AddNew method followed by AddNewRecord.BeginEdit() method. Here is a code snippet.

private void gridGroupingControl1_CurrentRecordContextChange(object sender, Syncfusion.Grouping.CurrentRecordContextChangeEventArgs e)
{
if( e.Action == Syncfusion.Grouping.CurrentRecordAction.EndEditComplete
&& e.Record.Kind == DisplayElementKind.AddNewRecord)
{
e.Table.BeginEdit();
e.Table.AddNew();
e.Table.AddNewRecord.BeginEdit();
}
}

Hi Haneef,
I tried this and the event is triggered, but the record I add doesn't stay. After I hit 'enter', the AddNew method is called, but no new record shows up. What could be the cause?

Thanks again,
