title: How to update Kendo Grid row from window
body: <p>The set-up:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>ASP MVC project</li>
  <li>Kendo Grid in a view via Razor</li>
  <li>Column custom command, calls...</li>
  <li>JavaScript that opens Kendo window with refresh() URL to partial view as custom form</li>
  <li>The form has an input type=button calling JavaScript</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The barrier:</p>
  
  <p>How to update the row (dataItem?) of Grid with new model (from window/form javascript).  I am unable to get a handle to target dataItem.  Select() is not applicable here because the row is not selected.  Instead, a custom button event opens modal Grid Window having the fields and commands for update, close, etc..</p>
  
  <p>I could use the native Edit of Grid, but what I am trying to accomplish is a way to have complete customization of a pop up window showing partial view that can be used to present CRUD actions.</p>
  
  <p>BTW:  Rationale for this is to optimize space in a grid row that would normally be consumed with unnecessary buttons for Editing, and Deleting, layed down by use of the Kendo native control properties.  I feel this is better presented in a separate, details view, like a Model Grid Window, in my case.</p>
  
  <p>Again, not using Select(), I am unable to understand how to get a handle, within the Window/form JavaScript, to the Grid row that it was called from, for purposes of updating the row with new model data.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time.</p>
