Editing With Edit Form

The Grid View control provides end-user data editing functionality out of the box. The commands for end-user data modification are displayed within a command column. Add this column to the grid's Columns to allow editing.

By default, a built-in Edit Form is used to modify cell values. The Edit Form displays edit cells that correspond to data columns, and the Cancel/Update commands that allow end-users to discard changes or save them to a database.

By default all data editing operations are prohibited. In this demo, row insertion, deletion, and editing is explicitly enabled using settings available through the SettingDataSecurity property.

Batch Editing and Updating

The Grid View control allows you to edit and update multiple grid rows on the client side and send them to the server in a single request.

To enable batch editing, set the SettingsEditing.Mode property to 'Batch'. In this mode, you can use in-line editors to edit grid data (the modified cells are highlighted). Deleted rows are also highlighted and display the Recover command item. To hide the deleted rows, set the SettingsEditing.BatchEditSettings.HighlightDeletedRows property to false. All changes are maintained on the client side until the Save changes link is clicked, or the Cancel changes button is clicked to cancel all the changes.

If a grid contains modified data, it displays a confirmation message before a postback or callback. When the grid supports callbacks, you can manage changed rows that belong to different pages. You can use the Preview changes button to preview and modify inserted, deleted and edited rows before you click Update.

You can use the following properties to customize the batch edit mode settings:

  • The KeepChangesOnCallbacks property specifies whether the grid keeps changes made in batch edit mode on callbacks.
  • The EditMode property allows you to specify which control element (data cell or data row) is used to edit data.
  • The StartEditAction property specifies the action that is used to edit grid data.

The batchEditApi property provides access to the batch edit client API. The BatchEditStartEditing and BatchEditEndEditing events occur when a grid switches to/leaves the batch edit mode.

All data editing operations are prohibited. In this demo, the SettingDataSecurity property's settings are used to unable row insertion, deletion, and editing.

Inline Editing

In the inline editing mode, the Grid View control displays an In-Line Edit Row instead of the edited data row. The edit row displays edit cells that correspond to visible data columns. To use this mode, set the SettingsEditing.Mode property to Inline.

By default, all data editing operations are prohibited. In this demo, row insertion, deletion, and editing is explicitly enabled using settings available through the SettingDataSecurity property.

Cascading ComboBoxes

In this demo, the combo box in the City column (the City combo box) is populated dynamically with city names using callbacks, based on the value selected in the combo box in the Country column (the Country combo box). Only the content stored in the City combo box is updated during round-trips to the server - not the content of the page or the Grid View control.

The client-side SelectedIndexChanged event of the Country combo box is handled to update the City combo box. On the server side, the Callback event is handled to populate the City combo box with required values.

By default, all data editing operations are prohibited. In this demo, row insertion, deletion, and editing is explicitly enabled using settings available through the SettingDataSecurity property.

Data Validation

The Grid View Control allows you to manually validate the edited row and display errors for invalid fields. This demo demonstrates how you can provide data validation by handling the RowValidating event.

To indicate rows with invalid data, the HtmlRowPrepared event is handled. This event is raised for each data row when the corresponding row within the table has been created. In this sample, rows with invalid data are colored in red (a text-danger CSS class is applied).

In the Edit Form, an error icon indicates an invalid field. Hover over the icon with the mouse to display a hint along with a description of the error.

By default, all data editing operations are prohibited. In this demo, row insertion, deletion, and editing is explicitly enabled using settings available through the SettingDataSecurity property.

Editing with Floating Action Button

The DevExpress Bootstrap Floating Action Button is a button that appears in front of a container (HTML element or control) when users interact with the container's elements.

The following types of floating action buttons are available:

  • Action - Executes the action once users click the floating action button.
  • Action Group - The floating action button serves as a container for multiple actions (action items). When pressed, the floating action button expands nested actions.

This demo adds an floating action button to a grid control. The type of the button depends on the context. For instance, when an end-user clicks a grid row, the button becames the action group with two popup actions - Edit and Delete. The JS code-behind file handles the button clicks and switches contexts.

Edit Form Layout

You can use the built-in form layout to arrange editors on the edit form in the Grid View control. The BootstrapGridViewFormLayoutProperties class allows you to customize the embedded form layout's settings at a grid level. The grid stores form layout items in the Items collection. Each item is associated with the corresponding grid data column specified in the ColumnName property.

Use the EditFormLayoutCreated event to customize the edit form items' visibility, caption, and layout settings. The FindLayoutItemOrGroup method allows you to access the layout item or group and customize it on the server. To do this on the client, use the GetEditFormLayoutItemOrGroup method.
