SPGridView and SP Menufield for approving list items from SPlist

Question

I am using spgridview for showing listdata,also using spmenufield.

I need to perform approve operation on any selected/clicked item from spgridview.

Can you please help,how can i achieve this?

Answer 1

It sounds like you already have the code set up so all you need to do is update the list item.

To approve the item, update the _ModerationStatus to 0.

Or, I believe you can use the API (simply wraps the above into the SPModerationInformation class):

SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(id);
item.ModerationInformation.Status = SPModerationStatusType.Approved;
item.Update();

Answer 2

There are no options to directly Approve the items using the SPMenuField, what you can do is to write up a JavaScript call that will get the details of the Item and redirect to the default Approval Page.

By default SharePoint approval page will be of format

_layouts/approve.aspx?List={F723A0FD-9072-46C6-A4B6-BBB21538CB68}&ID=112
