multiselect combox in Grid column

[timo75Participant]

I wonder if it is possible to use a multiselect combobox in a grid column and display the select items like seen in this demo:
http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxcombobox/multiselect.htm

When I set the grid editor to
editor.jqxComboBox({ source: myAdapter, multiSelect: true, displayMember: ‘label’, valueMember: ‘value’ });
I can select the different items, but when the editor is closed, the selected items are not displayed as seen in the combobox example above.

Any help / examples appreciated.

Thanks,
Timo

Hello Timo,

You can try the approach shown in the demo Custom Column Editor for the column “Products”. You would only have to change the dropdownlist to a combobox.

Thanks. In the dropdownlost example you mention there is no differentation between field values and labels. Is it possible to store the values but display a comma separated list of labels? I need this for managaing category assignments where each category has a name (label) and an ID (value; which is stored in the database).

Hello Timo,

You can customize what is displayed in the grid’s cell (and can later be retrieved by the various grid methods) in the geteditorvalue callback function.

Hi Dimitar,

I came to same issue when I have multiselect dropdownlist in jqx Grid. Yes you are right that we can customize display of items with geteditorvalue, but the cellvaluechanged event of the grid is then
also affected. Is there way to only display names in jqx grid with multiselect dropdownlist?

thanks
