drop down grid editor change event

[jahnvi25Participant]

i have dropdown editor in a cell.. and when user selects the same (already selected) item.. it does not fire ‘change’ event.. is there a way i can fire some event even if old selection is same as new selection ?
below is my initEditor method
initeditor: function (row, value, editor, celltext, cellwidth, cellheight) {
editor.jqxDropDownList(‘open’);
var comboObj = editor[0];
$(comboObj).on(‘change’, function (event){
//do some task

}
});

Hello jahnvi25,

Unfortunately, the change event (as the name suggests) is fired only when the selection is changed. You may, however, bind to the close event which will fire even if the selected item is clicked.

Hi jahnvi25,

As Dimitar, suggested you, bind to the “close” event and bind only once. In initeditor you will bind to the event every time you open the editor.
