Fire "afteredit" after edit the entire row in ExtJS grid? - events

I have an ExtJS editor grid which has some columns inside. I want to modify data on a record and auto save data to DB. But I just need save data after I complete editing all cells at the current row. I've used the event "afteredit" but it fired the event right after one cell was changed.
How can I keep that event not to fire until I've completed modifying all cells? Or could you please suggest another way to do this, not use the "afteredit" event?
Thank you so much.

You might take a look at Ext.ux.grid.RowEditor. It has an afteredit event that fires when the row is done being edited.
You can find the working example at http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/dev/examples/grid/row-editor.html

Here is my question back: Do you edit all the cells in a row? A better solution would be to use a "save" button to send the updated data back to the server and save it into DB.
Now, if you insist that all cells at a row will be modified, you can do the following:
In afteredit event handler:
Get the record being edited (you can get it by event.record)
Check if all the fields have been modified in the record. This can be done by inspecting the public property modified.
If all the fields are modified, proceed with sending the updated record to server for saving into DB.

When edit event has been fired, you should check modified config to check whether all of grid columns have been modified or not. After modifying, you can send them to your back end.

I think in your case it would be easier to have a button that you click to save the grid. you could access all the modified records by calling grid.store.getModifiedRecords() and send that to your backend service and do a mass update instead of updating a single row at a time.

You could use the rowdeselect event on the selection model (assuming that you use a Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel. Inside the event handler you can check if the record has been modified and react accordingly.
var grid = // your grid
grid.getSelectionModel().on("rowdeselect", function(selModel, rowIndex, record) {
if (record.dirty) {
// record has been modified
}
});

Display multiple new rows in Kendo Grid

I am doing an inline add using Kendo Grid, but on the server side I am actually creating multiple records. The DataSourceRequest sends back all the newly created rows, but only one is added to the grid. The other added records may not show up in the grid at all until the grid is forced to query for the data again.
Is there a way for me to add multiple rows at once?
If not, is there a way to re-query the data and put all newly added models at the top?
In my controller function that creates the new records, I am returning the following. "models" contains all of the newly created records:
return this.Json(models.ToDataSourceResult(request, this.ModelState), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
I also have a similar issue when updating a row since the server may actually update multiple rows. Since "models" contains multiple models, the first one in the list may or may not be the actual model selected to be updated, so sometimes a different edited model will replace the model that was selected to be updated in the grid.
Thanks,
Rob
I ended up using the kendo grid datasource insert method to add any records returned by my controller that were not already in the grid. I did this in the RequestEnd event for the datasource.
In order for this to work for inline adds, I needed to make sure the first model in the list returned by the controller was always the model being added by the grid. For some reason the initial model being added does not have an ID until the dataBinding event is reached which occurs after the RequestEnd event. So on adds, I simply ignore the first model in the results because it is already in the grid.
Also, when editing rows that are manually inserted into the datasource and then cancelling the edit, the grid removes them from the datasource. I had to block this using the preventDefault() function in the DataBinding event when a "remove" action was encountered directly after editing a row that I manually inserted into the datasource.

Is there a way to force a single row refresh with SlickGrid?

I have the amazing SlickGrid configured to access data asynchronously and post user changes back to the server asynchronously. In general terms, the server may modify a few fields of a row based on the user's changes. As such, after the row is updated I would like SlickGrid to refresh only that row without changing the rest of the view.
Does anyone know how to do this?
In my case, the field that changes on the server is a timestamp associated with the record that is updated by a database trigger. If the timestamp is out of date, the user has an old copy of data, and if they submit changes, they may overwrite a new copy. Since I can't find a way to trigger a refresh, the user cannot modify their own changes without refreshing the browser window (forcing a complete refresh).
You should be able to do this using grid.invalidateRow() and grid.render(). SlickGrid will re-render the affceted rows (assuming they are displayed in the currently visible viewport) without refreshing the entire page.
// Mark row 42 as changed and re-render the display
grid.invalidateRow(42);
grid.render();
For an example check out SlickGrid Example 14. (Click the Start Simulation button to see it in action)
function updateSlickgrid() {
dataView.setItems(tableName);
grid.invalidate();
}
Note : tableName could be the array or id etc.
I prefer storing all the slickgrid data in the array ex tableName = [];
Keep using the above function when it comes to displaying the data in slickgrid

Subgrid updation in crm 2011

I am having a sub grid in the crm form 2011. When I add a new record, I want the count to be updated in the field i added in the header.
The problem is that when I add a new record I need to refresh the form otherwise, the count will not take the newly added record into consideration.
Is there any way I can refresh the grid soon after I add a record the count gets updated?
I use Jscript to count the records.
Assuming your JScript to count the subgrid's records exists in the parent form, it sounds like what you need to do is ensure this code is fired when the contents of the subgrid change.
There's an example of how to do this here - what you need to do is attach an event handler to the subgrid's refresh event. So, when the subgrid refreshes, your handler (in the parent form) is called, and can re-count the records at that time.

jqgrid add new row - pre-filled

I use two grids at one PHP page.
Is there any way to get data from the first grid (i.e. after click row) and pre-fill it into the add new row form in the second grid?
thank you for any suggestion Petr
I am not sure that I correct understand what you mean under the "pre-filling". But how I understand you question you can do following:
With respect of onSelectRow event which you define on the first grid you will receive the id of selected row as the parameter. Inside of the onSelectRow event handle you can call getRowData to get full information about the data of selected row. Then using addRowData for example you can add new row in the second grid.

Preventing callback during validation in ComponentArt grid

I have to validate a couple of fields in the CA grid every time a record is updated/added. The grid is used in the callback mode. What i cannot figure out how to do is cancel the callback if a cell is invalid. I am trying to do this 'onBeforeUpdate' event of the grid. I can call set_cancel(true) to cancel the update. But this will change the row mode from edit to display and i will lose all entered data. What i am trying to do is leave the row in the edit mode when any cell in that row is invalid. One of the things i have thought about but haven't done yet is attempting to change RunningMode to Client, validate the record, and set the RunningMode back to Callback when i'm ready to submit? Any suggestions are very appreciated. Thanks!
Turns out there is a method on the cancel event that allows to leave the row in the edit mode.
eventArgs.set_continue(true);
