Does jqgrid have some functionality to use multiselect in toolbar search? - jqgrid

I need to make toolbar search with select filter, that give ability to chose several items for one column. Is it possible to do this in jqgrid?

No, it is not possible in the current version of jqGrid.
The option multiple: true can be used in editoptions and it change the behavior of the form editing or the inline editing, but it will be ignored in the toolbar search.

how can i get inbuilt value during Add process of jqgrid?

I am using jqGrid and when I want to enter new values,I click on Add(+) button which is at bottom of grid.I have 7 filed and out of them 1 is dropdown list so,
whenever I want to add new record I want that dropdown field to be filled automatically. How do I achieve that ?
I'm not sure what you exactly mean. Du you use inline editing (inlineNav) or form editing (navGrid)? Which version of jqGrid you use and from which fork of jqGrid (free jqGrid, which I develop, commercial Guriddo jqGrid JS or an old jqGrid in version <=4.7). You wrote about "dropdown field to be filled automatically", but the information can be interpreted in different ways. I try to guess.
I suppose that you should include defaultValue in editoptions to fill (or to choose in the dropdown) the default value in the filed new filed. It will work in case of usage form editing. It could work in some cases of usage inline editing (inlineNav) too, but one should know more details about your implementation.

how to reorder columns in jqgrid by dragging column headers

jqgrid doc in here contains:
method allow to reorder the grid columns using the mouse. The only necessary setting in this case is to set the sortable option in jqGrid to true.
I have sortable: true but columns cannot reordered by dragging headers by mouse. How to re-order columns by dragging columns headers or other way without using column chooser ?
To implement sortable columns is really easy. You should just follow the documentation. You should just
include jquery-ui.min.js additionally to jquery-ui.css which are always required. The most people have the file already included because of usage jQuery UI Widgets like Datepicker, Autocomplete, Tabs and so on.
add sortable: true option to the grid.
Now you can already (see the demo) drag the column header and drop it on another position.

Adding custom toolbar to jqgrid

How do I add custom toolbar to jqgrid.
Why I need this:
Instead of default filter toolbar I would like to introduce toolbar (Custom search options, not like editoptions:..) in my current project.
How do I implement it instead of using default filter toolbar
The searching functionality have many options (like searchoptions) which are different from editoptions. The method filterToolbar use the options and have many additional possibilities of customization, for example beforeSearch callback function. You don't describe your existing requirements, but I recommend you to examine the existing functionality of the searching toolbar more exactly before you will try to implement your own one.
If you do need implement your own custom toolbar, you can use toolbar option of jqGrid to add an empty bar above or below of the grid. You will be full responsible for the filling of the content of the toolbar.

jqGrid using radio buttons for editable rows

I'm currently using jqGrid and ASP.Net MVC. With my current project, my goal is to provide a grid of data to the end user, and they can then edit this. The data is machine-generated, and the users will be confirming if the machine is correct or not.
I think ideally for speed, I'd like to provide a row per item, with a radio button group as the editable. The users could then pick from the values 'Unknown', 'Correct', 'Incorrect'.
As there will be a lot of data, I'd also like to provide a control of some type that can set all rows in the grid to one of the available radio button choices, for the user experience.
Given that there seems to be no native support for this in jqGrid, I wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience writing something like this, and whether this is achievable and reliable, or whether I should stick with the drop-down editable approach that is native to jqGrid.
To implement radio button as the editable instead of the standard drop-down editable approach you can use so named custom editing feature of jqGrid (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:common_rules#custom). This allows you to create any custom control to edit the cell value. An example of the implementation you can find here: Add multiple input elements in a custom edit type field.
To set all rows in the grid to one of the available radio button choices you can use either a control outside of jqGrid or add an additional custom button in the navigation bar (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:custom_buttons). If you search for navButtonAdd you will find a lot of examples how to implement this, for example, Jqgrid: navigation based on the selected row. Because you use server based data, you can just call a method on the server to make the changes which you need and then call trigger("reloadGrid") to refresh jqGrid data.

jqGrid onselectrow

I'm using a jqGrid, and it gets populated fine. From the UI perspective, one of the columns in the jqGrid is editable. How can I make one of the columns as editable (say like a text box)?
The reason is, in my case when the grid successfully loads, the UI is going to show one of the column's values as editable.
If you're looking to edit the column values directly in the grid, similarly to how you might in Excel, look into the inline editing API:
http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:inline_editing&s[]=inline
In colmodel, you have to specify editable: true.Provide edit action link in editURL:... option of jqgrid.
you have to get the "id" of that column and then remove 'disabled' attribute on that.
for example -
$('#idofthatcolumn').removeAttr('disabled');
OR
$('#idofthatcolumn').removeAttr('readonly');
In your colmodel you should specify editable as true i.e, editable:true and specify the editUrl:'localhost:8080/yourApp'
Also if you want to store it in the client side, then specify it as editUrl:'clientArray'
