In my Kendo grid, I've a column (address). Instead of displaying customer's address, it shows a button. On clicking the button, I want to open a Kendo window as a modal and display the address.
...
{ field: "address",
title: "Customer Address",
width: "130px",
filterable: false,
template: '<span class="viewButton"><input type="button" value="Address" class="k-primary"></input></span>'
},
...
I've tried various strategies, including a custom command, an onClick event handler for the grid etc. But none seems to work. The best I've achieved so far is using custom command, in which I can open the Kendo window, but unable to display the underlying data for the column.
Any ideas for any possible way to achieve this?
You can get hold of current dataItem and show it in window.
$("#grid").on("click", ".viewButton",function(e){
var dataItem = grid.dataSource.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest('tr'));
var yourText = dataItem.address;
});
I have a grid/detail grid set up. On the detail grid, I have a drop down list. The editor function for the drop down is:
function ActionTypeEditor(container, options) {
$('<input id="ddlActionType" data-text-field="name" data-value-field="id"> data-bind="value:' + options.field + '" ').appendTo(container).kendoDropDownList({
dataTextField: "name",
dataValueField: "id",
autoBind: false,
dataSource: GC.ViewModels.Config.AlertAction.actionTypeArray
}).appendTo(container).data("kendoDropDownList").text(options.model.ActionTypeId);
var dropdownlist = $("#ddlActionType").data("kendoDropDownList");
dropdownlist.value(options.model.ActionTypeId);
}
This works fine when I edit one row on a detail grid associated with the "parent" grid row. However, if I edit another detail row associated with another parent row BELOW the first, the next to last stamement
where I select the dropdown list always gets the first one on the page, rather than the one for the lower row. How do I get the correct drop
down list?
Why, you use
var dropdownlist = $(container.find("#ddlActionType")).data("kendoDropDownList");
instead.
You're welcome!
I searched all over and can't seem to find the answer.
I have a MVC3 project with a WebGrid on it. The first column is a Select that is currently using the normal item.GetSelectLink to create a link to select that row.
I want this to be a checkbox instead of the test "Select". When the user hits the checkbox I want that row in the grid to be selected and the box to become "checked".
I would like the checked and unchecked states to be images that I provide.
How do I do this?
Unless you're doing something fancy with Ajax, the "select" link refreshes the page with "Selected=index" added to the query string. That would be an unusual experience, because people aren't used to checkboxes triggering a page reload.
You could do something like this, which completely mimics the "Select" link functionality. First add the checkbox to the row:
grid.Column(
format: (item) => #Html.Raw("<input class='select' type='checkbox'" + ((grid.SelectedRow == item) ? "checked" : "") + " />")
)
Then add some Javascript to handle the checkbox clicks:
var index = 1;
$("input.select").each(function () {
$(this).data('row', index);
$(this).click(function () { window.location = "?Selected=" + $(this).data('row'); });
index++;
});
While both autocomplete and select in jqgrid editform place the selected label into the cell, select will place the value (id) in the postdata array where autocomplete will place the label into the postdata array.
is there a way to get the editoption's autocomplete to post the item value (id) instead of the label?
here is the jqgrid code segment i'm using autocomplete in...
$('#tab3-grid').jqGrid({
colNames:['Workorder', 'wo.CUID',.....],
colModel:[
.
.
.
{name:'wo.CUID', index:'cu.LastName', width:120, fixed:true, align:'center', sortable:true, editable:true, edittype:'text',
editoptions:{dataInit:function(el){$(el).autocomplete({ source: 'php/customer-ac-script.php'
, minLength: 1
})
}
},
formoptions:{rowpos: 1, label:'Customer', elmprefix:'* '},
editrules:{required:true}
},
.
.
.
$('#tab3-grid').jqGrid('navGrid', '#tab3-pager',
{view:true, closeOnEscape:true, cloneToTop:true}, // general parameters that apply to all navigation options below.
{jqModal:true, navkeys:[true,38,40], savekey:[true,13]}, // edit options.
{jqModal:true, navkeys:[true,38,40], savekey:[true,13], reloadAfterSubmit:false, afterSubmit: addRecordID}, // add options.
{jqModal:true, afterSubmit: serverMessage}, // del options.
{jqModal:true}, // search options.
{jqModal:true, navkeys:[true,38,40]} // view options.
);
The php code segment:
// construct autocomplete select.
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$output[$i][$crudConfig['id']] = $row['CUID'];
$output[$i][$crudConfig['value']] = $row['LastName'];
logMsg(__LINE__,'I','cu.CUID: '.$row['CUID'].', cu.LastName: '.$row['LastName']);
$i++;
}
// encode to json format and send output back to jqGrid table.
echo json_encode($output);
logMsg(__LINE__,'I','Send json output back to jqGrid table: '.json_encode($output));
Would it be as simple as calling a function under the autocomplete select event or the grid before or after editform submit?
Also, i noticed this note in the jqgrid doc's for datainit: that says...
Note: Some plugins require the position of the element in the DOM and
since this event is raised before inserting the element into the DOM
you can use a setTimeout function to accomplish the desired action.
Would the lack of including the settimeout function be causing the problem?
The server code which provide the JSON response on the autocomplete request has id and value properties. On the other side the standard behavior of jQuery UI Autocomplete is to use label and value properties (see "Datamodel" in the documentation). The value of label property (if any exist) will be used to display in the contextmenu. The value of value property will be placed in the <input> field after the user choose the item from the contextmenu. The value of label property can has HTML markup, but the value of value property must be the text.
So I see the problem as pure problem of the usage of jQuery UI Autocomplete independent on jqGrid. If I understand correct your question you can solve your problem by modification your server side code.
Oleg's answer clarifying the data model for jquery UI's autocomplete, has allowed me to move forward and understand that autocomplete has nothing to do with constructing and sending the postdata array to the server, jqgrid's editform handles it. With that knowledge, i was able to answer my original question and successfully integrate autocomplete into jqgrid. So, in the interest of sharing, i'd like to show you all my motivation and solution.
By default, selecting a label from the autocomplete list put's the value of the selected label/value pair into the text box. All the editform cares about when you submit is what's in the edit fields. So when you submit the editform, the cell's postdata element value will again contain the value of the autocomplete text box. But what if while wanting to post the value of the label/value pair, you want the label of the label/value pair displayed in the text box? You have a problem! How do you get the value of the label/value pair posted to the server?
Well, after spending a few days on it, it turns out to be quite simply. While i'm sure there is more than one solution, here is mine:
add a hidden id column in the grid
define the select: and focus: events in the autocomplete function
in the select: function; insert the selected label into the text box (optional), disable the default behavior of autocomplete, then set the cell of the hidden column to the value of the selected label/value pair
in the focus: function; insert the selected label into the text box(optional), disable the default behavior of autocomplete
add an "onclickSubmit:" event to the navgrid edit options with function name something like "fixpostdata"
in the "fixpostdata" function; get the cell value of the hidden column and insert it into the postdata element associated with the cell.
The following are the grid and javascript code segments i used…
grid segments
{name:'wo_CUID', index:'wo_CUID', width: 70, hidden: true},
{name:'wo.CUID', index:'cu.LastName', width:120, sortable:true, editable:true, edittype:'text',
editoptions:{
dataInit:function(el){ // el contains the id of the edit form input text box.
$(el).autocomplete({
source: 'php/customer-ac-script.php',
minLength: 1,
select: function(event, ui){event.preventDefault();
$(el).val(ui.item.label);
var rowid = $('#tab3-grid').getGridParam('selrow');
// set the hidden wo_CUID cell with selected value of the selected label.
$('#tab3-grid').jqGrid('setCell', rowid,'wo_CUID',ui.item.value);},
focus: function(event, ui) {event.preventDefault();
$(el).val(ui.item.label);}
})
}
},
formoptions:{rowpos: 1, label:'Customer', elmprefix:'* '},
editrules:{required:true}
},
.
.
$('#tab3-grid').jqGrid('navGrid', '#tab3-pager',
{view:true, closeOnEscape:true, cloneToTop:true},
{jqModal:true, navkeys:[false,38,40], onclickSubmit: fixpostdata}, // edit options.
.
.
javascript function
// define handler function for 'onclickSubmit' event.
var fixpostdata = function(params, postdata){
var rowid = $('#tab3-grid').getGridParam('selrow');
var value = $('#tab3-grid').jqGrid('getCell', rowid,'wo_CUID');
postdata['wo.CUID'] = value;
return;
}
The fixpostdata function fires when you submit the editform but befor the postdata array is sent to the server. At this point you replace the cell's postdata element value with whatever you want. In this case, the value of the label/value pair stored in the hidden column cell. When the function returns, the modified postdata array is sent to the server.
Done!
In the jqgrid, when i click the first column value, i want to open as iFRAME window. if i use showlink or link formatter, its posted and redirect to the another page. how to create first column value as iframe window.
Thanks in avance..
One method is to use a link to the same page in your format options:
formatoptions: {baseLinkUrl: '#', showAction: '', addParam: ''}
Then after the grid is rendered - for example, in the loadComplete event - set up a click event handler for when a link is clicked:
jQuery('.ui-jqgrid-btable a', '#container').each(function()
{
jQuery(this).unbind('click');
jQuery(this).click(function(){
var link = jQuery(this).attr('href');
var equalPosition = link.indexOf('='); // Get the position of '='
var id = link.substring(equalPosition + 1); // Split the string and get the number.
// Your iframe code here...
return true;
});
This code simply parses out the link, gets the ID, and then lets to do whatever you want with that ID . So for example, you could load content into a new iFrame.
#container is optional, but you could use this as a div that contains the jqGrid div, if you have multiple grids on the same page and need to differentiate them.
