Using WARP inside a RowEditTemplate
posted

Hi All,

In the documentation it is recommended that fields in a row edit template be populated using javascript inside the BeforeRowTemplateOpenHandler client side event.   This is ok for simple scenarios, but a more powerful way to display the template would be to have a WARP panel in it that can be setup server side.  I have done this by calling a refresh on the warp during BeforeRowTemplateOpenHandler event.  I can populate controls and show and hide stuff and do whatever I want Big Smile ... However.... when saving the page (which also uses an async postback) there are extra rows added to the grid.  EG:  I add one row to the grid on the client and edit it using the RowEditTemplate with warp, and then on the server side there are 2 rows in the grid object.  I have no idea where the extra row is coming from....  turning off the warp inside the template makes the grid resume normal behaviour. 

From some other comments on these forums I understand that it may not be wise to do any server side interactions from within the rowedittemplate, so is what I am doing an outright bad idea?  If not, is there something I am doing wrong?

Regards,

Michael

    This is something that should be reported to developer support. It actually sounds like an issue that was fixed in the grid recently (bug number: BR16727). The fix should be part of the next hotfix. If you contact developer support, they'll be able to email you as soon as the hotfix is available.

    I have since realised that this is nothing to do with the RowEditTemplate.  To explain the issue more simply....

    Put a grid on a form.   (Enable adding rows on the client side with the add new box)

    Put a WARP on the same form.  Put a button in the middle of this warp to generate an async postback.

    In the pages PreRender event, output the number of rows in the grid object.

    Run the app.  Add a new row to the grid client side.

    Click the button in warp panel a few times.   Every time the async postback happens, another new row is added to the grid (of course you dont see the extra rows on the grid because it is not inside the warp so is not refreshed)

    Why does this happen?  Is it by design or a bug?

    I am using version 7.1.20071.1048

     

    Here is my code....
