Datagrid does not postback

[TheWizardofInt]

In using the datagrid, I am unable to get a postback from it

 

You can click the rows until your fingers bleed and the postback doesn't fire. I find nothing to enable

 

I am not using AutoGenerate columns. I do dynamically bind the data after a button even has occurred. What I want is for my end user to click a row and to activate the dg.SelectedItemChanged event, which is does not do

 

The sub procedure for this event DOES use the proper event handler.

 

Any idea?

You have to add an OnItemCommand="SomeEvent" or OnSelectedIndexChanged in the html of the page in the datagrid header tag.

I thought so, too - but it doesn't activate a postback at all

[Robby]

It should.

 

Can you post your code?

<DIV id="lblEmails" style="DISPLAY: inline; OVERFLOW: auto; WIDTH: 577px; HEIGHT: 230px"
runat="server" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"><asp:datagrid id="dgInbox" runat="server" Width="572px" BackColor="White" Font-Name="MS Sans Serif"
HorizontalAlign="Center" OnItemCommand="ShowBod" CellPadding="4" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnEditCommand="ShowMail" Font-Size="2pt" Font-Names="MS Sans Serif">
<SelectedItemStyle BackColor="Yellow"></SelectedItemStyle>
<AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="White"></AlternatingItemStyle>
<HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" HorizontalAlign="Center" ForeColor="Black" BackColor="#EEEEEE"></HeaderStyle>
<Columns>
	<mbrsc:RowSelectorColumn SelectionMode="Single" AllowSelectAll="false"></mbrsc:RowSelectorColumn>
	<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Sender" HeaderText="Sender/Recipient">
		<FooterStyle Width="200px"></FooterStyle>
	</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="MailRef" HeaderText="Subject">
		<FooterStyle Width="230px"></FooterStyle>
	</asp:BoundColumn>
	<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Read" HeaderText="Read">
		<FooterStyle Width="30px"></FooterStyle>
	</asp:BoundColumn>
	<asp:BoundColumn DataField="MailDate" HeaderText="Date">
	<FooterStyle Width="100px"></FooterStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn Visible="False" DataField="RecId" HeaderText="RecID"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn Visible="False" DataField="Body" HeaderText="RecID"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:EditCommandColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" UpdateText="" CancelText="" EditText="Open"></asp:EditCommandColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid></DIV>

 

I have tried it without the Div as well - doesn't work

 

The mbrsc is a Column Counter which I have also tried removing, but which will not then enable the postback

 

Thanks for your effort on this!

Hi,

 

Try setting the datagrid's AutoPostback property to true.

 

Then, in the event handler's methods, for (e.g edit click event) check if the "Handles datagrid1.clicked" is present.

I am not seeing a postback property on the datagrid object

 

Is this something I need to set up when I actually code out the object?

[Robby]

There is no Autopostback for Datagrids

It must be configured manually!
