Module UIgrid Edit functionality

Have you reviewed the documentation on how to create a module which includes the UI part of editing the records?

This documentation tells you how to create the UI pieces for adding and editing records from the listing.

I read those before while creating module but not helpful for my current situation. So far I stored generated application URL in a Session Variable and using this session variable in my UIgrid control extender OnInit() method

If session not null I am doing below

page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "JavaScript", "<script>" +
"window.CMS.UG_m_c_plc_lt_ctl01_Listing_gridElem.redir('\\/MyProjectName\\/CMSModules\\/AdminControls\\/Pages\\/UIPage.aspx?elementguid=31d7cbfe-1c46-4471-beca-499226b1a7ac&amp;displaytitle=false&amp;objectid=1');__doPostBack('m$c$plc$lt$ctl01$Listing$gridElem$v$ctl02$aedit','')</script>");

but it keeps throwing below error

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'UG_m_c_plc_lt_ctl01_Listing_gridElem' of undefined

They are very helpful. You can create the whole UI part of the module simply by adding a single XML file which defines the grid (no need to create your own in code). Then configure the rest of the module which will automatically create the URLs you're looking for automatically.

Look in this documentation again and review the XML file which defines the UniGrid. If you feel the need to write a bunch of code, your probably doing it wrong. You can write extensions and custom web parts vs create a bunch of custom module pages.

Hi Brenden, I am not sure you understood my question fully. I referred Kentico documentation on how to create module. I am aware of XML file for UniGrid, Extenders for UniGrid control.

My problem is I have a button in a separate .aspx page. When I click that button I want to open a object in the Unigrid list in edited mode(like the page you land after manually clicking the edit icon in Unigrid).

I am able to go to my module page upon button click(link text) right now I am extending further on this

Depending on where you are at in the UI, I would highly recommend against sending them to that page. I'd create a page within the page you have created to bring that object up and edit it right there vs the module UI. Much easier to manage, maintain. Check out the BasicForm to perform your edit operations with

Unfortunately I have few vertical tabs when the object enters edit mode in my custom module, So I want to replicate redirect in my .aspx button to be the redirect as kentico does for edit icon. Each vertical tabs are like steps in a process.

I'd suggest looking at some other module controls code to see how they generate those URLs in code behind. There may be no documentation on that but I know there is code for it in the /CMSModules directory.

If you are aware of any file under /CMSModules directory kindly let me know as I am still searching but no luck so far
