I'm trying to figure out if this is possible in Oracle APEX interactive grids. I'm wanting to insert a string of text like "Y" into a cell simply by clicking the cell. I'm trying to avoid using a checkbox.
Blockquote
Please follow the below steps to achieve the desired result
Paste the below JavaScript code in Function and Global Variable Decleration:
function fSwitch(ptext) {
if(ptext == 'Y') {
return ("");
}
else {
return 'Y'
}
}
Make the Interactive Grid Editable
Change Column Type of the column that you want to insert a string to "Text Field".
Paste the below code in the Advanced -> Custom Attributes of the column that you want to insert a string
onclick="javascript:this.value=fSwitch(this.value)"; onkeypress="return false;"
How this works:
On focus of the column cell,
If the cell is empty 'Y' will be entered,
If the cell contains 'Y' then the cell value becomes NULL;
There's a built-in "Switch" type for interactive grids which can be used to create yes/no columns. Would that work?
For an example, go to the App Gallery and install the Sample Interactive Grids app. Run it and navigate to Editing > Other Column Types, then look at the "On Leave" column.

I need a help on applying common drop down values to multiple selected rows in a Webix datatable. Let's say I want to select all the rows of my datatable (by Ctrl+click) for which the 'Name' column has value as 'Mark' and then want to apply a common color for them (for example : green) by clicking so that it gets applied on all the rows at one go.
The snippet is here : https://webix.com/snippet/1162ccd1
Any help on how can this be achieved would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Further to this post, I am including a re-phrased and a half-way solution below for the experts to dispel any confusion about the requirement :
It does not necessarily have to be those rows which have 'Name' as 'Mark'. I put it that way to give an example. Basically, it could be any randomly selected row either consecutive or haphazard and selecting a common value for them from the drop down of the 'color' column (it could be any color in that drop down ) so that its value gets assigned to those cells of those selected rows. Note, selecting a color should not change the color of the row, so there is no css effect I want here.
I have so far written the code like below, which is able to fetch the selected rows.
rows = $$("mytable").getSelectedId(true);
for (i in rows) {
id = rows[i];
item = $$("mytable").getItem(id);
/* below effect has to happen from the drop down of data table gui */
item.id2 = "green"; //for example, it could be any value
}
Can anybody please help me in:
i) how can I apply the value selected from the drop down of data table to all the selected rows ?
ii) Secondly, how can I trigger this code ( through which event ?) once they are selected in the data table and the value is chosen from the drop down ?
Thanks.
You can do something like this by adding the onBeforeFilter event, and track only color filter ("id2" in your snippet):
onBeforeFilter: function(id, value, config) {
if (id === "id2") {
const selected = this.getSelectedId(true);
const color = this.getFilter("id2").value;
for (let row in selected) {
const item = this.getItem(selected[row]);
item["id2"] = color;
this.updateItem(item.id, item);
}
}
}
Sample is here https://webix.com/snippet/538e1ca0
But I think this is not the best way.
You can also create a context menu that is displayed by right-clicking on the table and making a choice of values in it.
I have a grid with several columns, most of which have values selectable from a given set. (i.e. they are shown as dropdown boxes when inserting/updating.) I want to enable filtering, but not necessarily on all columns at once. So I tried adding an empty option for each column, but this means it also shows up in the dropdown for insert/update, which is not what I want.
So how should I solve this? Do I need to override one or more of the row renderer functions?
You can redefine filterTemplate of the column like the following:
filterTemplate: function() {
var $select = jsGrid.fields.select.prototype.filterTemplate.call(this);
$select.prepend($("<option>").prop("value", "0").text("(All)"));
return $select;
}

Is there any way i can hide HOT columns from javascript?
The requirement is such that the column to hide will come as a parameter in javascript and based on that the respective column will show hide accordingly.
The HOT has rowHeaders and colHeaders and the data with 20 columns.
Please advise.
OUTDATED SOLUTION
Ok I founnd a possible solution. I tested it out on my own system but it's actually quite simple.
You should be using a customRenderer in your columns option. Read up about this if you aren't already. The idea is that you're giving each cell its own renderer. In this custom function, you can do something like this:
var colsToHide = [3,4,6]; // hide the fourth, fifth, and seventh columns
function getCustomRenderer() {
return function(instance, td, row, col, prop, value, cellProperties) {
if (colsToHide.indexOf(col) > -1) {
td.hidden = true;
} else {
td.hidden = false;
}
}
}
What this renderer does is hide the cells that the var colsToHide specify. All you do now is add a DOM element that lets the user pick which and so every time the table gets rendered (which happens basically after any change, or manually triggered need be), the cells in the columns specified will be hidden, keeping the data array intact like you described. And when not in colsToHide they are re-rendered so make sure you get that working as well.
Here I implemented it with very basic functionality. Just enter the index of a column into the input fields and watch the magic happen.

I wanted to identify which Slick editor is being used in the current selected Column. Is there anyway to do this?
Ok, I got.
We can use activeCell with columns to get the current select column. Then from the column.editor attribute, we cloud compare what is the editor currently select cell possess.
var column = columns[activeCell];
if(column.editor && column.editor === Slick.Editors.Text)
{
// Code with identification.
}
I am facing problem in Jqgrid. I have a column with hyperlink and on the click of that hyperlink I want row data. Is this possible using Jqgrid. when I am using "getGridParam" I am getting row id as null.
There are two possibilities you can try here:
1) You can use a custom formatter to create the hyperlink, and have a custom attribute on the link where you put in the rowid (prefix the custom attribute name with 'data-' to keep it html5 compatible). Alternatively you could call a javascript function explicitly passing the row id.
2) Instead of the hyperlink's event itself, try using the onCellSelect event of jqGrid where you get the row and column id of the clicked cell, even if its a hyperlink. But this would trigger the event even if the user clicks anywhere inside the cell, not just on the link!.
I'm sure you found the answer to this by now but for some of you using ASP.NET WebForm here is what I used.
Create the Custom Formatter and add it to the column where you want the link to appear:
My columns are from a database I use a Select statement as so:
switch (jqGrdCol.DataField)
{
case "xxx":
CustomFormatter hypLinkxxx = new CustomFormatter();
hypLinkxxx.FormatFunction = "xxxformatOperations"; --> **JavaScript Function**
jqGrdCol.Formatter.Add(hypLinkxxx);
break;
}
Then in the Javascript function:
function xxxformatOperations(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
return "<a href=somefile.aspx?xxx=" + rowObject[0] >" + cellvalue + "</font></a>"
}
I get the value of the column as a hyperlink.
I had a similar issue and was did look into your question to figure out a solution and I have found out a solution to this.
The solution is by using onCellSelect: function(rowid, index, contents, event)
this gives the rowid and contents ie the content of the cell you have clicked or selected
therfore you can get the entire row of contents which includes your hyperlink as well
