DxGrid.CancelEditAsync() Method

Cancels row editing and discards changes.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public Task CancelEditAsync()

Returns

Type Description
Task

The task that is completed when the edit operation is canceled.

Remarks

This method allows you to implement your custom Cancel button inside or outside the Grid. Handle a button’s click event and call the CancelEditAsync method to cancel row editing and discard changes.

Edit and pop-up edit forms display predefined Save and Cancel buttons. Disable the EditFormButtonsVisible property to hide these buttons. In EditRow and EditCell edit modes, the command column shows predefined Save and Cancel buttons for the edited row. Disable the column’s SaveButtonVisible and CancelButtonVisible properties to hide these buttons.

The following example hides predefined Save and Cancel buttons and implements custom buttons in the edit form:
