jqxTreeGrid rowSelect: grabbing row is different whether the base or a child

[dacracotParticipant]

I’m having an issue getting the row object from jqxTreeGrid using the rowSelect event. It seems the operation is variable whether the row in the tree is at the base or a child.

This works for the base but not for children…

$('#my-grid').on('rowSelect',  function(event){
    var row = event.args.row;
    MSGBUS.bus("myRowSelected").publish(row);
    });

This works for a child but not the base…

$('#my-grid').on('rowSelect',  function(event){
    var row = $("#my-grid").jqxTreeGrid('getRow', event.args.key);
    MSGBUS.bus("myRowSelected").publish(row);
    });

Since there is nothing within jqxTreeGrid that indicates the position within the tree, I can’t quickly switch between base or child, and even so, that would feel like a hack.

What is a singular way that I can get either base or child row content from a jqxTreeGrid?

Hi dacracot,

Please, refer to: http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/Y5h6y/. The ‘rowselect’ in the sample is handled and it gets the row’s content. It works for root nodes and also for sub nodes.

Peter

I’m not sure what I was doing wrong, but working through your example helped me to debug my code so that event.args.row is working throughout.

Thank you.

I think I’ve found the issue. My “dataFields” definition was lacking the specification for several columns. This event.args.row for the base of the parent/child hierarchy reflected this by not containing the missing columns as would be expected. However, the branches of the parent/child hierarchy read and included all the JSON regardless of my “dataFields” definition, and therefore those event.args.row did include the missing columns. As I clicked around the grid, most rows were children and provided the column as I expected, but the root would not, hence my confusion.

So, my bug was to forget to include all the columns that I needed in the “dataFields”, however I believe the subsequent child rows should also use the “dataFields” and reflect the error rather than reading everything regardless.

Thanks again for helping me move forward.
