I've tried the following code to retieve values from a textbox on the RowEdit Template but it doesn't work...what am I doing wrong?

 function onTemplateClosing(sender, e) {
     var grid = sender;
     var ret = grid.get_behaviors().get_editingCore().get_behaviors().get_rowEditingTemplate();
     var oInstrumentNbr = ret.$get({"Instrument_No"}).value;
}

Hi,

I'm not intimately familar with the WebDatePicker, however when I look at the source code, it appears that it expects a Date object for set_value(), whereas you are passing a string.  That could be the source of your problem.  Try that and let me know.

thanks,
Dave 

Dave, it doesn't matter what I put in the set_value() for the date object...I still get the error message. If I have all date fields filled in for the RowEditTemplate, once I press the ok button, the ret closes fine and proceeds to the WebDataGrid_RowUpdating sub. If there is a date field not filled in or null, when I press the ok button, I get the error message and it never proceeds to the WebDataGrid_RowUpdating sub. That is why I'm trying to catch it and change the date before it blows up.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

Dave, I found my issue...I had the my client event defined wrong, as follows. I was trying to change the values after the template had closed already...thx for your help.

TemplateClosed

="onTemplateClosing"

A couple more questions, how do you keep the RowEditTemplate from closing and assign focus to a field that's in error?

Thanks!

Hi,

Off the event args of the event, there should be a cancel method.

args.set_cancel(true);

As for focusing.  You already have the dom element or javascript object.  If it is an html element, just elem.focus() should do it.  If its an object, there is probably a focus() method of some sort that you can call.  Or just find an element that's part of the object and focus that.

Thanks!!! I appreciiate your help!

Hi,

For future reference, a lot of these answers can be found in the documentation.  This is something available off of the event args.  args.get_saveChanges()  It is true if it is going to save the changes to the row (ok was clicked) and false otherwise.

Thanks...

Another question...how can I tell if the 'Ok' or 'Cancel' button is clicked?
