Causing events to fire in a datagrid

[Guest]

I finally learned that
DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = {row I want} -1
DataGrid1.DataBind()

will make that row get to edit mode.
I am stiil looking for ways to programticaly do other things:
1) show the last page
2) fire select
3) fire delete
4) what is the last row in the last page

Thanks!

Hi Ofer,

1) Show the last page

DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex = (DataGrid1.PageCount - 1)

2) fire select.

If I understand your question correctly....

With the method that you are using, when the "edit" button is "selected",
the grid will throw the EditCommand event. Try...

Create a sub and use the Handles statement to handle the EditCommand

Private Sub DataGrid1_EditCommand(blah blah....) Handles
DataGrid1.EditCommand

....

3) Fire delete

Same as 2 except you are handling the DeleteCommand event.

4) Last row in the last page

You could place the following in an if statement...

DataGrid1.Items.Count Mod DataGrid1.PageSize = 1 And _
DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex = DataGrid1.PageCount - 1 And_
DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex <> 0

Good Luck!

Thanks!
To create the event handlers is NOT the problem VS does it for me when I
select the event from the dropdaown of events.

Also when you use the buttons created by the property builder, a click on
the button does more then just fire the event. for example the the
editcommand draws text boxes for the bound columns and only then fire the
event.

what I am looking for, is the syntax to make those commands work.
for example I have a button to add a row that first inserts a new (almost
empty) row in the database then I want it to show that row and put it in edit
mode.
So all in all I want to be able to imitate the user's clicks on the command
buttons.
