Hi,
I stumbled across the same requirement. I hope my solution is of help:
columns: [
{
text: 'my column title', dataField: 'myData', autowidth: false , columntype: 'template',
createeditor: function (row, cellvalue, editor, celltext, cellwidth, cellheight) {
var editorElement = $('<textarea id="customTextArea"></textarea>').prependTo(editor);
editorElement.jqxEditor({ height: '100%', width: '100%', tools: "" });
editorElement.val(cellvalue);
},
geteditorvalue: function (row, cellvalue, editor) {
return $('#customTextArea').val();
}
}
