How to locate a Kendo UI detailGrid after create complete event - events

I'm sorry to ask this question because it seems like the answer should be obvious, but I can't find it.
I am processing the "complete" event after a create action on a detail grid because I wish to refresh the grid after the insert. But I can't find a sensible way to it. Here is what I have done. I am doing it all in HTML and JavaScript. When the detail grid is initialized, I "name: it 'panegrid' suffixed by the key of the master record. Like below:
function detailInit(e) {
if (e.data.Id != '') { // Must be a Create for Lite so don't create a grid
$("<div id='panegrid" + e.data.Id + "' />").appendTo(e.detailCell).kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
And then when the create completes I find the grid like this:
complete: function (e) {
var selector = '#panegrid' + $.parseJSON(e.responseText).IGUnit_Id;
$(selector).data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
}
This works (IGUnit_Id is the primary key of the Master Grid), but it just doesn't seem right to have to do it this way. Surely there is some "correct way" to find the grid from within the complete event directly without playing around with selectors.
I appreciate your help and apologize for asking such a dumb question.

If you want to save a reference to a grid when you create it, simply assign a variable to it and append .data('kendoGrid') to your create expression, e.g.
var myGrid = $("<div id='panegrid" + e.data.Id + "' />").appendTo(e.detailCell).kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
// etc...
}
}).data('kendoGrid');
Then later
myGrid.dataSource.read();
Of course, you wouldn't want it to be a local variable, you would need to add it as a property of something visible from the rest of your code, but I leave that exercise up to you.

jQuery autocomplete styling on only certain results

Is it possible to add styling to only some of the results returned in an autocomplete dropdown?
The code below works fine, however, I would like to style the individual results based on the value of data[x].restricted. When it is true, I still want to display those items but disable or grey them out within the autocomplete dropdown list. If data[x].restricted is false then I do not want to apply any additional styling to those items.
source: function (request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: $("#AutoCompleteCustomerNameUrl").val(),
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
srchCus: request.term
},
success: function (data) {
var x, array = [];
for (x in data) {
array.push({
label: (data[x].restricted ? 'Restricted Access - ' : '') + data[x].customerName,
name: data[x].customerFullName
});
}
}
});
}
Any assistance on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated.
Approach 1 (feels hacky)
This doesn't feel like a great option, but you could probably do this by using jQuery to target elements based on their text content. Autocomplete suggestions are generated as <li>s, so something like this might work:
$('li:contains("Restricted Access")').addClass('grey');
The question is then when to run that? Those elements are added dynamically of course, after page load, so that would have to run after they've been created - you'd have to run it based on some autocomplete event. Looking through the list in the docs, maybe the open event would be best. A handler for that event will run whenever the menu is opened, so it could add a CSS class to all the just-created suggestions matching that selector. Eg (untested):
$("#selector").autocomplete({
// ... your normal autocomplete code ...
open: function(event, ui) {
// Add a CSS class to those suggestions matching the text
$('li:contains("Restricted Access")').addClass('grey');
}
});
I haven't tested this, as it doesn't feel like the right approach. Below is a much better, tested and working option.
Approach 2 (feels good)
You can also do this using the _renderItem extension point. If you check the example they give there you can see it is the function which actually generates the HTML which shows up as your autocomplete suggestion. If we can customise that, we could do anything - eg check details of the item, add specific CSS classes, etc.
I don't find those docs super clear, but it isn't hard to find examples of it in use, eg the Custom Data example (that #Simon-K linked to in the comments above) shows how to use it:
$("#selector").autocomplete({
// ... your normal autocomplete code ...
}).autocomplete("instance")._renderItem = function(ul, item) {
// Here we have complete control of what is returned, and access to
// the items!
return $("<li>").append("<div>" + item.label ...).appendTo(ul);
};
So with your requirements, we could do something like this:
$("#selector").autocomplete({
// ... your normal autocomplete code ...
}).autocomplete("instance")._renderItem = function(ul, item) {
var style = (item.restricted) ? 'grey' : '';
return $("<li>")
.append("<div class='" + style + "'>" + item.label + "</div>")
.appendTo(ul);
};
And then of course add a CSS class to style those items:
.grey {
color: #ccc;
}
Working JSFiddle.

Assigning behavior to Fine-Uploader generated thumbs

I think I have almost the same problem as described here : fine-uploader generate more unique custom file ids
But I can't figure out a solution that fit my needs.
I have a modal window containing 2 tabs. Each tab contains a FineUploader instance. That works pretty well.
BUT
I want to assign a behavior to each file added (for exemple, assign an "onclick" behavior to a generated thumb).
To do this, I do something like this :
callbacks: {
onComplete: function(id, name, response) {
scope.thumbloaded({
id: id,
name: name,
uuid: response.uuid
});
},
And the scope.thumbloaded function do this :
function thumbloaded(id, name, uuid) {
$('#qq-file-id-' + id).on('click', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation(); // avoid the entire thumbnail to catch the event
doSomething();
});
}
The problem is that FU creates DOM elements with formatted ids, like qq-file-id-XXX.
So, when I add several files in one of each FU instance I have (in each of my tabs, remember?), FU creates two DOM elements with same ids. And the "click" event is added twice on elements with same ids.
Do you see the problem??
I wasn't able to find a solution yet.
Any help?
thanks.
Ok, I finally find out a workaround, based on jquery's selector.
Very easy though.
I just apply a certain class to each of element I just took care of. Though, I don't hook new event listener to elements that already have it.
The code will speak for itself:
function thumbloaded(id, name, uuid) {
var newThumb = $('.qq-file-id-' + id + ':not(.aw-thumbnail)');
newThumb.prop('id', uuid);
$('#' + uuid).on('click', function(e) {
doSomething();
});
$('#' + uuid).addClass('aw-thumbnail');
}

JqGrid - Freeze columns

I read all the posts regarding freezing column. But still I am unable solve my problem.
When I called setFrozenColumns my column has frozen but along with another column header is added to the grid. So the column headers one more than the columns. How to resolve this. Here is my over view of code.
makeJqueryGridInstance(grid, gridSettings);
window.prepareSortableColumns(grid);
makefrozenColumns(grid);
function makeFrozenColumn( grid )
{
var colmodel = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'colModel');
if (colmodel[0].name === 'cb')
{
grid.jqGrid('setColProp', colmodel[0].name, { frozen: true });
grid.jqGrid('setFrozenColumns');
fixPositionsOfFrozenDivs.call(grid[0]);
}
}
function prepareSortableColumns(grid)
{
var gridSettings = grid.data('settings');
var gridId = gridSettings.gridId;
var columnHeaders = $("#" + "gview_" + gridId.replace("#", "")).find(".ui-jqgrid-htable > thead > tr > th");
var colModel = grid[0].p.colModel;
$.each(columnHeaders, function (index, columnHeader)
{
if (colModel[index].sortable == false)
{
$(columnHeader).find("div").removeClass("ui-jqgrid-sortable");
}
});
}
For the first time, it is working fine and the column has frozen.
But second time when the call made to prepareSortableColumns(grid), the columnHeader having one more than colModel (I debugged through devTools). So I am getting error for that particular columnHeader sortable is undefined.
Can anybody help me with this. Thanks in advance.
The code of prepareSortableColumns seems be wrong. Its not oriented on dives added in case of usage of frozen columns (see the answer for more details and use Developer Tools to examine the structure of the grids). You can try to use grid[0].grid.headers array instead of selecting columnHeaders in the way like you do this.
Additionally it's in general wrong to remove ui-jqgrid-sortable class. The meaning of the class will be frequently misunderstood because of the name. Non-sortable columns have to have the class too. What you need to do instead is to set CSS style cursor: default on the headers. See the old answer for the corresponding code example.

How to enable click in edit action button if new row is saved jqgrid

Edit formatter action button is placed to jqgrid column:
colModel: [{"fixed":true,"label":" change ","name":"_actions","width":($.browser.webkit == true? 37+15: 32+15)
,"align":"center","sortable":false,"formatter":"actions",
"formatoptions":{"keys":true,"delbutton":false,"onSuccess":function (jqXHR) {actionresponse = jqXHR;return true;}
,"afterSave":function (rowID) {
cancelEditing($('#grid'));afterRowSave(rowID,actionresponse);actionresponse=null; }
,"onEdit":function (rowID) {
if (typeof (lastSelectedRow) !== 'undefined' && rowID !== lastSelectedRow)
cancelEditing($('#grid'));
lastSelectedRow = rowID;
}
}}
New row is added to jqgrid in loadcomplete event
var newRowData = {};
var newRowId = '_empty' + $.jgrid.randId();
$('#grid').jqGrid('addRowData', newRowId, newRowData);
and its id is updated if save action button is clicked:
function aftersavefunc(rowID, response) {
restoreActionsIcons();
$('#grid').jqGrid('resetSelection');
var json = $.parseJSON(response.responseText);
$("#" + rowID).attr("id", json.Id);
lastSelectedRow = json.Id;
$("#grid").jqGrid('setSelection', lastSelectedRow);
}
After clicking save action button edit action button clicks are ignored. It is not possible to re-enter to edit mode after first editing.
How to fix this so that row can edited by edit button click again after saving ?
Update
I added $(this).focus() as suggested in Oleg answer and also wrapped id change into setTimeout as Oleg recommends in other great answer:
function aftersavefunc(rowID, response) {
restoreActionsIcons();
$(this).focus();
$('#grid').jqGrid('resetSelection');
var json = $.parseJSON(response.responseText);
setTimeout(function () {
$("#" + rowID).attr("id", json.Id);
lastSelectedRow = json.Id;
$("#grid").jqGrid('setSelection', lastSelectedRow);
}, 50);
}
Problem persists. The problem may related to row id change since:
It occurs only in last row (where id is changed after save). It does not occur for saved rows where responseText returns same id and row id is actually not changed.
It does not occur if cancel action button is pressed.
Maybe row id needs additional reset id addition to resetSelection or needs updated in somewhere other place also.
Update2
I added code form updated answer to errorfunc and used only english characters and numbers id ids. This allows to click multiple times but introduces additional issue:
extraparam is no more passed. If rowactions() calls are commented out, extraparam is passed with with rowactions calls extraparam is not passed.
I changed jqGrid source code and added alert to rowactions method:
alert( cm.formatoptions);
if (!$.fmatter.isUndefined(cm.formatoptions)) {
op = $.extend(op, cm.formatoptions);
}
In first clicks alert outputs 'Object'. In succeeding clicks to Save button it outputs undefined. So for unknown reason formatoptions is cleared.
Remarks to comment:
Absolute url in testcase is not used. Datasource is set to localarray.
I verified that testcase works in IE and FF without external url access.
For extraparam issue I can create new testcase.
Without image directory buttons are shown in cursor is moved over them.
Missing image directory still allows to reproduce the issue.
FormData function is defined in js file.
Since new issue occurs after adding rowactions() calls and does not occur if those calls are removed, this seems to be related to the code proposed in answer.
I suppose that the problem exist because one hide a button which has currently focus. Look at the code from the answer. If one remove the line $(this).focus(); // set focus somewhere one has the same problem as you describes. So I suggest that you just try to set somewhere, for example in restoreActionsIcons the focus to any the table element of the grid after hiding the button having currently the focus. I can't test this, but I hope it will help.
UPDATED: I examined your problem one more time and I hope I can suggest you a solution.
You problem can be divided on two sub-problems. The main your problem is the the changing of the id of the row. So it is not common problem which everybody has.
The problem is that "actions" formatter create onclick functions directly in the HTML code (see for example here):
ocl = "onclick=$.fn.fmatter.rowactions('"+rowid+"','"+opts.gid+"','edit',"+opts.pos+");..."
So the functions will contains the original rowid. To fix the problem you can modify the code fragment of your aftersavefunc inside of setTimeout from
$("#" + rowID).attr("id", json.Id);
lastSelectedRow = json.Id;
$("#grid").jqGrid('setSelection', lastSelectedRow);
to something like the following:
var $tr = $("#" + rowID),
$divEdit = $tr.find("div.ui-inline-edit"),
$divDel = $tr.find("div.ui-inline-del"),
$divSave = $tr.find("div.ui-inline-save"),
$divCancel = $tr.find("div.ui-inline-cancel");
$tr.attr("id", json.Id);
if ($divEdit.length > 0) {
$divEdit[0].onclick = function () {
$.fn.fmatter.rowactions(newId,'grid','edit',0);
};
}
if ($divDel.length > 0) {
$divDel[0].onclick = function () {
$.fn.fmatter.rowactions(newId,'grid','del',0);
};
}
if ($divSave.length > 0) {
$divSave[0].onclick = function () {
$.fn.fmatter.rowactions(newId,'grid','save',0);
};
}
if ($divCancel.length > 0) {
$divCancel[0].onclick = function () {
$.fn.fmatter.rowactions(newId,'grid','cancel',0);
};
}
lastSelectedRow = json.Id;
$("#grid").jqGrid('setSelection', lastSelectedRow);
The second problem is that you use special characters inside of ids. I found a bug in the $.fn.fmatter.rowactions which need be fixed to support special characters in ids. The problem is that in the line 407 of jquery.fmatter.js the original rowid parameter rid will be changed:
rid = $.jgrid.jqID( rid )
and later everywhere will be used modified id. For example in the id is my.id the encoded version will be my\\.id. It's correct for the most places of the $.fn.fmatter.rowactions code (see here), but it' s incorrect as the rowid parameter of the editRow, saveRow, restoreRow, delGridRow, setSelection and editGridRow (see the lines 433-453). So the code must be fixed to use the original not escaped (not encoded) rid value with which the $.fn.fmatter.rowactions was called.
I think I will post tomorrow the corresponding bug report with the suggestions in the trirand forum.
UPDATED 2: The code $.fn.fmatter.rowactions(newId,'grid','edit',0); which I wrote above is just an example. I took it from the test demo which you send me. You should of course modify the code for your purpose. How you can see for example from the line the second parameter of the $.fn.fmatter.rowactions in the id of the grid which you use: 'grid', 'list' of something like myGrid[0].id. The last parameter should be the index of the column having formatter:'actions' in the colModel. You can use getColumnIndexByName function from the answer on your old question to get the index by column name.

Titanium Mobile: reference UI elements with an ID?

How do you keep track of your UI elements in Titanium? Say you have a window with a TableView that has some Switches (on/off) in it and you'd like to reference the changed switch onchange with a generic event listener. There's the property event.source, but you still don't really know what field of a form was just toggled, you just have a reference to the element. Is there a way to give the element an ID, as you would with a radiobutton in JavaScript?
Up to now, registered each form UI element in a dictionary, and saved all the values at once, looping through the dictionary and getting each object value. But now I'd like to do this onchange, and I can't find any other way to do it than create a specific callback function for each element (which I'd really rather not).
just assign and id to the element... all of these other solution CAN work, but they seem to be over kill for what you are asking for.
// create switch with id
var switcher0 = Ti.Ui.createSwitch({id:"switch1"});
then inside your event listener
myform.addEventListener('click', function(e){
var obj = e.source;
if ( obj.id == "switch1" ) {
// do some magic!!
}
});
A simple solution is to use a framework that helps you keep track of all your elements, which speeds up development quite a bit, as the project and app grows. I've built a framework of my own called Adamantium.js, which lets you use a syntax like jQuery to deal with your elements, based on ID and type selectors. In a coming release, it will also support for something like classes, that can be arbitrarily added or removed from an element, tracking of master/slave relationships and basic filter methods, to help you narrow your query. Most methods are chainable, so building apps with rich interaction is quick and simple.
A quick demo:
// Type selector, selects all switches
$(':Switch')
// Bind a callback to the change event on all switches
// This callback is also inherited by all new switch elements
$(':Switch').bind('change', function (e) {
alert(e.type + ' fired on ' + e.source.id + ', value = ' + e.value);
});
// Select by ID and trigger an event
$('#MyCustomSwitch').trigger('change', {
foo: 'bar'
});
Then there's a lot of other cool methods in the framework, that are all designed to speed up development and modeled after the familiar ways of jQuery, more about that in the original blog post.
I completely understand not wanting to write a listener to each one because that is very time consuming. I had the same problem that you did and solved it like so.
var switches = [];
function createSwitch(i) {
switches[i] = Ti.UI.createSwitch();
switches[i].addEventListener('change', function(e) {
Ti.API.info('switch '+i+' = '+e.value);
});
return switches[i];
}
for(i=0;i<rows.length;i++) {
row = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow();
row.add(createSwitch(i));
}
However keep in mind that this solution may not fit your needs as it did mine. For me it was good because each time I created a switch it added a listener to it dynamically then I could simply get the e.source.parent of the switch to interact with whatever I needed.
module Id just for the hold it's ID. When we have use id the call any another space just use . and use easily.
Try This
var but1 = Ti.Ui.createButton({title : 'Button', id:"1"});
window.addEventListener('click', function(e){
var obj = e.source;
if ( obj.id == "1" ) {
// do some magic!!
}
});
window.add(but1);
I, think this is supported for you.
how do you create your tableview and your switcher? usually i would define a eventListener function while creating the switcher.
// first switch
var switcher0 = Ti.Ui.createSwitch();
switch0.addEventListener('change',function(e){});
myTableViewRow.add(switch0);
myTableView.add(myTableViewRow);
// second switch
var switch1 = ..
so no generic event listener is needed.
