DxTreeList.SaveChangesAsync() Method

Triggers validation and raises the EditModelSaving event if validation succeeds. The method immediately raises this event if validation is disabled.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public Task SaveChangesAsync()

Returns

Type	Description
Task	The task that is raised when the EditModelSaving event occurs and is completed after the event handler is processed.

Remarks

This method allows you to implement your custom Save button inside or outside the TreeList.

Handle a button’s click event and call the SaveChangesAsync method to trigger validation and raise the EditModelSaving event if validation succeeds. Handle the EditModelSaving event to post changes to the underlying data source. If the ValidationEnabled property is disabled, the method immediately raises this event.

Inline 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 displays custom Save and Cancel buttons in the edit form:
