WebGrid 7 has ‘PromptUnsavedChanges’ that determines whether or not user should be prompted when there is unsaved changes in batch update. Simply set the value of this property to ‘false’ in order to suppress the message box.

This should help.

example:

<LayoutSettings Hierarchical="True" AllowAddNew="Yes" AllowColumnMove="Yes" AllowDelete="Yes"
    <BatchUpdateSettings AllowReviewChanges="True" NotifyOnLostFocus="True" PromptUnsavedChanges="false" />
</LayoutSettings>

Thank you Yudi!!

Sorry for not mentioning the version of WebGrid in my previous post. I am using WebGrid 6.0 and it does not support this property. Is there an alternate solution for this in WebGrid 6.0?

Hi,

I am using webgrid with batch update. I want to disable the message box(please see the attached image) which shows when focus is changed. I tried setting the attribute

If I refer to your first post in this thread, you said that you are using WebGrid with batch update enabled. Batch update scenario is introduced for the first time in WebGrid 7 version.

Your last post, that states that you are using WebGrid 6, makes me wonder how did you get the screenshot on the first post if you are using WebGrid 6 (since WebGrid hasn’t support batch update scenario yet).

Please let me know if you have different scenario.

I am attaching the screenshots of the version of webgrid and batch update properties that i get. I do not see  PromptUnsavedChanges in the list.

We need to check your project in order to determine what may cause the issue (the ‘PromptUnsavedChanges’ property is not available).

Could you please send us a simple sample project (complete with the WebGrid 6 dll file that you are currently use) to be investigated further?

Hello Yudi,

We are using WebGrid 7.0 in SharePoint. We are rendering the grid programatically. As we wanted to access the changes both on client side and server side, we have done the following settings::

interSoftWebUIGrid.LayoutSettings.StatusBarVisible = true;

interSoftWebUIGrid.LayoutSettings.AllowBatchUpdate = true;

interSoftWebUIGrid.LayoutSettings.BatchUpdateSettings.NotifyOnLostFocus = true;

interSoftWebUIGrid.LayoutSettings.BatchUpdateSettings.PromptUnsavedChanges = false;

With these settings, when we change anything in the grid and click on any other button on the page we WILL NOT get the prompt, which is what required, but we get a JavaScript error with the message : Error: 'null' is null or not an object.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciable.

Thanks,
