In the jqwidget grid cellediting example(under jqxGrid left menu, open Editing/Editing), data is generated at client. How can I bind dropdownlist to database inside a asp .net MVC3 project?(You can see dropdownlist under product column in demo tab)
When initializing dropdownlist with database, one should bind it to datasource(or dataadapter), and should set selectedIndex. Then, for row update the selected value should be kept on select.
Column definition may be like:
{ text: 'Urun', columntype: 'dropdownlist', datafield: 'UrunAdi', width: 177,
initeditor: function (row, cellvalue, editor) {
var urunId = $('#jqxgrid').jqxGrid('getcellvalue', row, "UrunId");
editor.jqxDropDownList({ displayMember: 'UrunAdi', source: dropdownListAdapter, selectedIndex: urunId });
$(document).on('select', editor, function (event) {
selectedUrunId = editor.jqxDropDownList('getSelectedIndex');
});
}
}
The variable "selectedUrunId" should be defined globally, maybe like var selectedUrunId = -1;
before jqxgrid initialization. Then in updaterow definition(it is in source definition) the selected value of dropdown should be used. It may be like:
if (selectedUrunId != undefined && selectedUrunId != -1) {
rowdata.UrunId = selectedUrunId;
selectedUrunId = -1;
}
The overall scene for this scenario is:
// prepare the data
var gridSource = {
datatype: "json",
datafields: [{ name: 'KargoId' }, { name: 'UrunAdi' }, { name: 'UrunId', type: 'int' }],
url: 'BindGrid',
updaterow: function (rowid, rowdata) {
// synchronize with the server - send update command
if (selectedUrunId != undefined && selectedUrunId != -1) {
rowdata.UrunId = selectedUrunId;
selectedUrunId = -1;
}
var data = $.param(rowdata);
$.ajax({
dataType: 'json',
url: 'UpdateEditGrid',
data: data,
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
gridDataAdapter.dataBind();
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
alert(JSON.stringify(xhr));
}
});
}
};
var gridDataAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(gridSource);
var dropdownSource = {
datatype: "json",
datafields: [{ name: 'UrunId' }, { name: 'UrunAdi'}],
url: 'BindDropdown'
};
var selectedUrunId = -1;
var dropdownListAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(dropdownSource);
// initialize jqxGrid
$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid(
{
width: 670,
source: gridDataAdapter,
editable: true,
theme: theme,
selectionmode: 'singlecell',
columns: [
{ text: '#', datafield: 'KargoId', width: 40 },
{ text: 'Urun', columntype: 'dropdownlist', datafield: 'UrunAdi', width: 177,
initeditor: function (row, cellvalue, editor) {
var urunId = $('#jqxgrid').jqxGrid('getcellvalue', row, "UrunId");
editor.jqxDropDownList({ displayMember: 'UrunAdi', source: dropdownListAdapter, selectedIndex: urunId });
$(document).on('select', editor, function (event) {
selectedUrunId = editor.jqxDropDownList('getSelectedIndex');
});
}
}]
});
