Add row when button is pressed | Infragistics Forums

Hi, Algunderson.

This problem has nothing common with editing. It' because every time you press the "Save" button, the Add Row is sent to the server, even if it's empty. It's because get_rowAdding() gets reference to the object that represents the new row template at the bottom of the grid and every time the row is added, even it is with no data. That's why you first need to check if there is a new cell values in the Add Row.

In most of the cases it's not recommended to use internal methods, like _commit(), because as you see it's possible that some problems may occur. But don't worry I've created a script that checks if the row is been updated and if yes, then it is added as a new row, when the "Save" button is pressed.

The following code defines an array of the default cell values for every column and just checks if the new cell value is different from the default one. Unfortunately I couldn't find grid method that do this, that's why I've created the code below that works for me. I hope it will resolve your issue.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var toSave = false;
    function cancelRowAdding(sender, e) {
        if (!toSave) {
            e.set_cancel(true);
        }
        toSave = false;
    }
 
    function saveRow() {
        var rowToAdd = $find("<%= wdg1.ClientID %>")
            .get_behaviors().get_editingCore()
            .get_behaviors().get_rowAdding();
 
        toSave = true;
 
        if (isRowToAddChanged(rowToAdd)) {
            rowToAdd._commitRow();
    }
 
    function isRowToAddChanged(rowToAdd) {
        var cellCount = rowToAdd.get_row().get_cellCount(),
            cellInd = 0,
            // you don't need that array if all your default cell values are null.
            defaultRowValues = ["---", null, null, null, null, null, null];
 
        for (cellInd; cellInd < cellCount; cellInd++) {
            if (rowToAdd.get_row().get_cell(cellInd).get_value() !== defaultRowValues[cellInd]) {
                return true;
            }
 
            // If all your default values are null then use the following code:
            /* 
                if (rowToAdd.get_row().get_cell(cellInd).get_value() !== null) {
                    return true;
                }
            */
        }
    }
</script>

Best regards,
