begincelledit after window close

[alesParticipant]

Suppose there is grid with special cell editor with “…” button. When the button is clicked, a window is opened and user select a value from it, confirms the window and the selected value is copied to the cell. This works fine. But when user decides not to select any value and uses Esc key to close the window, the cell is not in edit mode anymore. What should I do to begin cell edit again?

I have tried the on close method of the window

$("#selectWindow").on('close', function (event) {
    var cell = $('#Main_jqxGrid').jqxGrid('getselectedcell');
    $('#Main_jqxGrid').jqxGrid('begincelledit', cell.rowindex, cell.datafield);
});

but this does not work. The begincelledit works normally in other circumstances.

Or maybe it would be sufficient if the cell editor stays visible during the window open/close period. But how to achieve that?

Hi ales,

According to me, “begincelledit” is called and the editor is closed a little after that because of the pressed Esc key which by default closes any opened editor, too. This means that if you call “begincelledit” within setTimeout function, it will do the job, because the editor would be already closed when you call it.

You are right and it works now. Thank you! I was really a puzzle for me, because I thought that the Esc key was consumed by the window.
