TreeGrid vs. Grid

[alesParticipant]

We are planning to use both grids and treegrids in our application. And of course we want both widgets to behave as much similar as possible. But the treegrid is missing some important features:

1. Why is it not possible to select only a single cell in treegrid? There are also missing the following methods (and maybe others):
getselectedcells
selectcell
begincelledit

2. Why are there missing the following methods in the treegrid?
getrowdata
getrowdatabyid
refreshdata
getrowid
getselectedrowindex

Unfortunately it seems to be as ultimate stopper in our decision making (to buy or not to buy) if we were not possible to achieve this. Is there any chance to enhance the treegrid in the near future?

Thank you
Ales

Hi Ales,

The widgets are very different and have different features. The features supported by the TreeGrid are illustrated in these samples: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxtreegrid/index.htm. The supported API is available in the TreeGrid’s API documentation. We will consider whether to implement or not some of the Grid features like cell selection in future versions. For now, this is not in the Roadmap.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your response. I will try to find some solution for some of the missing methods, but the cell selection is crucial for us.
