How do I get the VALUE of a ComboBox editor inside jqxGrid?

[ericwastakenParticipant]

Hi,

I am using jqWidgets 2.6.1.

I have a grid that has a column editor set as jqxComboBox. It displays and works great and I can select values fine on any row. I have displayMember and valueMember both set for my ComboBox.

However, on the ‘updaterow’ event or if I try ‘getrowdata’ on a specific row, the value I get for the ComboBox column shows the displayMember and not the valueMember.

Can you clarify how to get the valueMember value from a row that uses a ComboBox editor for a particular cell?

Thanks,

Eric.

Hi Eric,

Please, take a look at this sample: gridkeyvaluecolumn.htm. It demonstrates how to define a column with values and labels.

Great! Your example helped me find my error.

For the benefit of others, here were my errors.

– On the data adapter, I was not defining the datafield correctly. I should have had the column as follows:

{ name: ‘AssignedToUserId’, displayname: ‘AssignedToUsername’ }

(I was missing the “displayname”).

– On the GRID, I also was missing the displayfield property. I should have had my column as follows:

{ text: ‘Assign to Patient’, datafield: ‘AssignedToUserId’, displayfield: ‘AssignedToUsername’, editable: true, columntype: ‘combobox’, width: 300,
// Show a combobox editor
initeditor: function (row, cellvalue, editor) {
editor.jqxComboBox(
{
source: sfDropbox.dataadapterPatients,
theme: sfDropbox.theme,
selectedIndex: -1,
displayMember: ‘PatientDetail’,
valueMember: ‘UserID’
});
}
}

– o –

Once I added the two “displayfield” properties, all worked as expected.

Thanks!
