Changing field source values

[cberubeMember]

I need to show the Dropbox values mapping depending on the row.userType. Can it be done dynamically from the get go in order to make sure the show the right value mapping. For example here, 2 might mean “N” or “S” depending ot the empType.

{ name: ‘v1’, type: ‘string’, values: { source: empType1.records, value: ‘value’, name: ‘label’ } },
{ name: ‘v1’, type: ‘string’, values: { source: empType2.records, value: ‘value’, name: ‘label’ } },

var empType1val = [
{ value: 5, label: “E” },
{ value: 4, label: “K” },
{ value: 3, label: “S” },
{ value: 2, label: “N” },
{ value: 1, label: “U” }
];

var empType2val = [
{ value: 3, label: “E” },
{ value: 2, label: “S” },
{ value: 1, label: “U” }
];

Hello cberube,

Could you, please, tell us how and when is the value of source determined? This may give a clue to the issue’s solution.

My source is an XML file.

The data mapping is done as suggested:
var dataAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(source, {
downloadComplete: function (data, status, xhr) {
// get the data from the XML and push it into Array.
var records = $(source.root + ” ” + source.record, data);
var dataToReturn = [];
for (var i = 0; i < records.length; i++) {
var ejc = $(records[i]).attr('EJC');
var grp = $(records[i]).attr('GRP');

As for the dropdownList. Right now, I am using the solutions provided another post using the initeditor callback to override the default values.

initeditor: function (row, value, editor) {
var EJC = $('#empGrid').jqxGrid('getcellvalue', row, "EJC");
if (prt.emp.isEmpType2(EJC)) {
editor.jqxDropDownList({ source: empType2.records, displayMember: 'label', valueMember: 'value' });
}
}

I do all other fields mapping and calculations using the bindingcomplete event. This is a bit slow and I am trying to optimize it right now.

Thanks,

Hi cberube,

I understand that you wish each row’s dropdown list editor to have its available values based on the row. Please provide us with your entire page, including your grid initialization.
