extractKeysFromItem

Method which extracts the key values (added to the ClientDataKeyNames collection of the master/detail table) from the edited table row passed as an argument or the row corresponding to the index passed as an argument. The values will be fetched purely client-side and the data will be returned in an object array which can be traversed to get each individual data entry.

Supported with InPlace and EditForms auto-generated edit form!

If invalid index is passed as argument to the method, the returned object array will be empty.
