Adding a child row to a new parent row

Hi,

I am new to using this grid and am trying to add a child row to a newly added parent row in a hiearchial layout and can never get the child tables new button to be enabled. I have tried adding a new row to the child datatable when the parent is added to the dataset in the rowUpdated event but I still don't ever get the expansion icon or the child new row button enabled when that new parent row has focus. I am sure I am just missing some simple property or setting. Any help would be appreciated.

Randy

 Here is the markup, I am using a user control row edit template to edit both rows, which are added in code behind:

Hello Randy, The AddNew button will only become active if you the ActiveRow of the WebGrid is a parent row. The easiest way to get an row to be active is to click on the row in either a cell of the row or the row selector itself. However there was a bug, quite a while ago, that a newly added row wouldn't allow child rows to be added. So in your sample try clicking on the parent row or row selector of a different parent row. If you get the child row button to be active, try doing the same to the newly added row. If that doesn't work, then check to see if you are using the latest version of your control version. If you aren't then please try getting the hotfix and applying that.

I think it must be related to that bug you mention, because for existing rows it does work. I tried to download the hotfix but I am still using an evaluation license to see if this grid will meet our business requirements. Does the hotfix require me to purchase a license? I am having a hard time downloading it.

Yes, the hotfix requires a license.

Actually, we've recently started providing hot fixes to our trial customers as well.  This is a recent change of policy, and the website hasn't yet been updated to account for it.  Licensed customers can currently get at hot fixes from their My Keys and Downloads page, but we haven't finished changing what we need to change so that trial customers can directly download hot fixes.

For now, if you'd like to download a hot fix during your evaluation period, please submit a support request to request it.  We simply need to know which installer (or installers) you used to install the toolset - the ".NET" installer (which contains both Windows Forms and ASP.NET CLR 2.0 controls in one installer), the "Windows Forms" installer, the "ASP.NET CLR 2.0" installer, or the "ASP.NET CLR 3.5" installer.  Check your Add/Remove Programs in your Windows Control Panel if you're not sure which one you installed.

To my knowledge, we're only able to provide trial hot fix downloads for versions of the toolset still available as trial downloads themselves - essentially for our most recent release of the toolset.
