Validate Grid on Button Click

[harafaParticipant]

Hi Guys,

I have a grid with the following columns
columns: [
{ text: ‘Id’, datafield: ‘Id’, editable: false, width: ’30px’ },
{ text: ‘First Name’, datafield: ‘FirstName’,
validation: function (cell, value) {
if (value ==””) {
return { result: false, message: “First name required!” };
}
return true;
}

}
]

this validation is triggered only when entering cell and leave it blank.
the question is:
how to trigger this validation on button click before submitting data to the server.
I checked all Grid’s Api and cannot find a method to trigger this validation rule.

Thank you very much and best regards

Hello harafa,

There is no validation method for jqxGrid. However, you may do the following on the click of a button:

$("#validateButton").click(function () {
    var value = $('#jqxgrid').jqxGrid('getcellvalue', 0, "FirstName");
    if (value == "") {
        $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('showvalidationpopup', 0, "FirstName", "Invalid Value");
    };
});
