Grid API method trigger help

I enter this in the console of the browser dev tool. - - - m = jQuery('#grid').data('kendoGrid') 
m.saveChanges()
- - -

Then I get this result.

- - - 

undefined

the grid is a fully functional grid with a toolbar and a "Save changes" button that is working.

Hello John,

You can set autoSync: true in DataSource configuration in order to achieve this behavior as demonstrated on the jsFiddle bellow:

Ok well... autosync doesn't work for the delete button that appears in the grid, at least not with my version of kendo (open source version).  I have a grid and the delete button removes the row but doesn't call the destroy transport.  I debugged it and when the datasource creates the ModelSet it doesn't set the autosync flag of the ModelSet.  So when the modelset is created it's defaulted to autosync = false.  When you go to delete the row is removed but ModelSet checks for "autosync" and skips the sync because it's always false.

Hello Mike,

autoSync: true seems to be working on the jsFiddle attached to my previous post.

Hello Mike,

Please check the video posted bellow:

autoSync seems to be working properly. The jsFiddle is the last I've posted in this thread.

All the best,

How did you get it to work manually?

I added a custom command button and was successfully able to delete the object using dataSource.remove(dataItem). This fires the destroy event on the server and removes the item from the grid. The next time i refresh the item is still there even though it has been removed from the database.

Is there some caching going on here that is causing this behavior. If i put a breakpoint in the read methods it doesnt hit on every refresh.

Hello Randy,

There is a jsfiddle with working example in this thread. The video is captured against this example. There is no caching involved in the example. I guess for your scenario you should verify whether on sync deleted items are actually deleted from the data storage.

Solution:
replace new version Kendo UI to old (from example where is it work):
<script type='text/javascript' src="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2011.3.1407/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>

To support: Find this problem in the new version Kendo UI.

Hi nikolay,
waiting for your comment on sergey's post.

This was clearly broken in kendo.all in earlier versions.   I have the code so I can post it if you like.    However you guys fixed it in later versions exactly like I described in my earlier post.    The autosync flag is now being pasted to the modelset class. The first version I've used where the bug is fixed is  v2011.3.1407.  I'm not sure when it was fixed but v2011.3.1407  has the fix that makes autosync work.  

However with the latest versions of kendo (v2012.1.503)...  all of the relative code has been reworked and I have not tested it.   I'm assuming it's still fixed. The bug I'm talking about is... delete command on a grid not calling sync even when autosync is set to true.   So if your having delete problems make sure your kendo.all version is at least v2011.3.1407 or greater.
