Thank you, where i can find samples about my requests? i have browsed examples with no luck, could be that i'm not searching in the right place.

Question #2 - Is it possible to create a new row with clicking a button? i'm seeing only samples where the new row is already present

Well, yes, it really depends on your setup and/or do you want to have this behaviour run on the server or on the client, but let's say you start with a grid that have RowAdding behavior (child of the EditingCore behavior) set, but it is disabled by default.The grid would look like this:

    <ig:WebDataGrid ID="WebDataGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1" Width="400px">       
        <Behaviors>
            <ig:EditingCore>
                <Behaviors>
                    <ig:RowAdding Enabled="false">
                    </ig:RowAdding>
                </Behaviors>
            </ig:EditingCore>
        </Behaviors>

 Then, on a postback event, you would simply have something similar to this to enable it back:

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.EditingCore.Behaviors.RowAdding.Enabled = true;
    }

If you wish to experiment with what is available on the client side with javascript (we call this CSOM - client-side object model), I recommend starting from this page in our online help - it provides great help on the RowAdding behavior. For example you can add a new row using something similar to this (you need to have EditingCore behavior enabled) and then just set its editing mode to enabled, e.g.

var grid = $find("<%= WebDataGrid1.ClientID %>");
grid.get_rows().add(cellValuesArry); 

But then again, it really depends on your scenario. More info on that can be found in the help here:

Thank you for the help.

Actually i'm trying with the UltraWebGrid, not the WebDataGrid, because there are more samples; i'm using .net 2

Now is working the adding by clicking a button , but it seems not possible to activate the cursor on the first editable field: if i start to type after clicking the "add new" button the text appear in the field, but the users tipically needs the blinking cursor ...

I have tried the event AfterRowInsertHandler :

in the Grid definition there is 

<ClientSideEvents AfterRowInsertHandler="grdStentsLAD_AfterRowInsertHandler" />

and my script is

      function grdStentsLAD_AfterRowInsertHandler(gridName, rowId) {
         var oRow = igtbl_getRowById(rowId);
         var oCell = oRow.getCellFromKey('Type');
         oCell.activate();
         oCell.setSelected(true);
         oCell.beginEdit();        
      }

I have verified with the debugger (i'm using Visual Studio2008) that the js code is executed, but the blinking cursor does not appear in the field (UltraGridColumn): could be that it works applying the latest service pack? (i have seen that is downloadable only by registered users, i'm using the trial evaluation)

I am going for js being cached :)

Correction: i'm not understanding why (but i'm sure that it was not working) but now the focusing in the first editable field is working.

So my js code  in AfterRowInsertHandler is correct, it works.

Oh, well :) Still, I am sure all that information I wrote will be useful to some developers. Could you please ask UltraWebGrid question in the respective forum located here:

This way it will much easier for everyone to track the conversation and it increases the chance of the question to get good answer.
