Changing Edit Button Styles in an InLine Editable Grid After Save Operation
Environment
| Product | Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Grid |
| Version | 2024.3.806 |
Description
How can I change the background color of the Edit button of an InLine editable Grid when the respective Update or Create operation is successful?
When editing an existing record or adding a new one to an InLine editable Grid, you can dynamically modify the appearance of the Edit command to indicate a successful operation. For example, to update the button's background color to green.
Solution
To implement the solution, follow the steps below:
- Handle the
RequestEndevent of the Grid's DataSource to identify successful Create/Update operations. Save the index of the new or edited row in a global variable successfulSavedRow. - Handle the
DataBoundevent of the Grid, select the element of the modified row by using the stored row index, and add a class successfullSave to the element of the respective Edit command. - Add the desired CSS styles to the successfullSave class. For example,
background-color,color, and more. - Handle the
clickevent over the Grid and remove the custom class to retrieve the default button's appearance.

..// Columns
columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); }).Width(200);
})
.Events(events => events.DataBound("onDataBound"))

.Update(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Update", "Grid"))
.Destroy(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "Grid"))
)
)
<script type="text/javascript">
var successfulSavedRow = null;
function onRequestEnd(e) {
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
if(e.type == "update") {
if(e.response.Errors == null) { // Successful Update operation.
var editedRecord = e.response.Data[0];
var editedDataItem = e.sender.get(editedRecord.ProductID);
var editedRow = $(".k-grid-table").find(`tr[data-uid='${editedDataItem.uid}']`);
var editedRowIndex = $(editedRow).index();
successfulSavedRow = editedRowIndex;
}
} else if(e.type == "create") {
if(e.response.Errors == null) { // Successful Create operation.
successfulSavedRow = 0;
}
}
}
function onDataBound(e) {
var grid = e.sender;
if(successfulSavedRow != null) {
var editedRow = grid.tbody.find('tr:eq(' + successfulSavedRow + ')');
var editButton = editedRow.find('.k-grid-edit-command');
editButton.addClass('successfullSave'); // Add a custom class to the "Edit" button.
successfulSavedRow = null;
}
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on("click","#grid",function() {
$.each($(".k-table-tbody tr"), function(){
var editBtn = $(this).find('button.k-grid-edit-command');
if($(editBtn).hasClass("successfullSave")) {
$(editBtn).removeClass("successfullSave"); // Remove the custom class when the user clicks on the Grid's table.
}
});
});
});
</script>
<style>
.successfullSave, .successfullSave:hover{
background-color: green;
}
</style>
For a runnable example based on the code above, refer to the REPL example on updating the Edit button's appearance of the Grid after saving changes.
