Preventing callback during validation in ComponentArt grid - validation

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);

Any way to limit how often onChange happens in a DateInput? (blueprintjs)

We're using the date input component as part of some parameterization on a page. So, as soon as the onChange event fires we want to go fetch some more data.
The problem is that the onChange fires too often as a user is typing. If I type just "Nov" that's setting a valid date of Nov-01-YYYY, and so the onChange event fires. I believe I would like to fire the onChange only when a full date has been entered, or the enter key is pressed, though I'm open to other ideas.
DateInput does not currently provide such a feature. Sounds like you're requesting an onConfirm handler. GitHub is the place to request features.

ExtJs - Triggering Column Header Sorting programmatically (e.g. with QTP)

Our team is setting up test scripts for automating interaction testing using QTP, for an ExtJS based application.
Many of our elements/objects are being detected as desired, with the exception of column header sorting triggers.
Our grid panel has remote sorting, however programatically triggering a column header "click" doesn't fire our sorting, although "click"ing manually on the column header does. I've tried mousedown and mouseup, on the column header Div, and it's children -titleEl and -textEl as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
The simplest way would be to tell QTP to generate mouse events, this way all the events that are fired when a real human clicks the header will be fired when QTP clicks it.
As seen here
origReplayType = Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType")
Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2
Browser("B").Page("P").WebElement("column header").Click ' your script line here
Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = origReplayType
If this is a common occurrence you can use RegisterUserFunc to define a new DeviceClick function to your test objects.
A slightly more complex way is to debug the application and see which event triggers sorting the column and then use FireEvent with the correct event.

After a form is filled once, I blank out the form before filling it the next time (new conversation), but the borders remain red

I have used webshims for html5 form validation in a single page app with multiple pagelets(divs). The forms are not submitted but local javascript is invoked after each conversation and collected data is posted .
Next I iterate over all the fields and reset the values.
Then I take the new user back to the first pagelet having first form for the new conversation. This time even after filling the correct values the border does not turn green.
Note:
However when we select the field and click outside the field without filling it. and then after filling the correct data border turns green.
However when we tried to achieve it programmatically iterating over each field resetting it and using javascript focus method, that did not do the trick.
I am sure I must be missing some thing. would be able to point out what.

I'm not sure, what you want to achieve. I would need to see some code. If you change the value programmatically you can update the validation ui with the event refreshvalidityui on the form field. If you want to reset the ui, you can either trigger a reset event on the form or resetvalidityui on the form field
$('input').val('foo').trigger('refreshvalidityui');
or
$('input').val('foo').trigger('resetvalidityui');
or
$('form').trigger('reset');
Please let me know, if this helps.

Jqgrid Edit Form Change Event of Select doesnt fire when scrolling thorugh records

I have been following this example, http://www.ok-soft-gmbh.com/jqGrid/DependendSelects2.htm, as it is just what I need. I have got it working but it doesnt work when scrolling through records. If you bring up the form and scroll from a UK record to a US record, the list doesnt change. The onChange event only fires when the user selects from the select drop down.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks for your help.

My old demo uses 'change' event handler defined in the dataEvents property of the editoptions. In the dataEvents array one can define other event handlers.
You need just bind keyup to the column exactly like it's described in the answer. In the body of the event handler you can do the same actions as in the body of the 'change' event handler (you can place the code in a function and call it from the both handlers). In the way you should be able to solve the problem.
UPDATED: I updated the old answer and another one which was origin for the demo which you used. The new demo support the navigation buttons (the buttons to edit the 'next' or the 'previous' row) in the editing form.

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

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
}
});
