Hi

I have tested your workaround as mentioned in my last post. It doesn't work:

• On other pages I don't use the Refresh button, but it auto-refreshes when the dropdown changes (auto postback on the dropdown). On these pages the titles of the grid (only one grid there) will not get updated then.
• Even in this example there is a new problem: When you resize the first column and then resort the grid, the width of the titles don't match the grid widths.
• The slider still doesn't work.
• Initialisation code is now in PrepareDataBinding event (that's wrong by definition)
• Maybe more issues, test stopped.

Is this a problem with this version I'm using? I'm using the latest overnight build, not the latest public release. Or any other ideas?

Regards,

Eric

Well, actually the JavaScript code cannot be hidden. But it is scambled in a way so that it's not very readable. I agree that having the source code would help many customers to debug their software, because it's not always clear if it's a problem in your own code or in the product.

It had lots of support calls (or now posts here in the Community) already asking for help. The problem is that the first reply takes at least an entire business day and until a solution or workaround is found it usually takes several weeks. When we would have the source, we could potentially fix the problem ourself, at least until Intersoft releases a fix.

Any updates yet?

Hi Handy,

I know how the CustomSort works. Thanks for this suggestion anyway. But my problem is that it doesn't sort at all, not even alphabetically.

I'm not sure which sample you mean. I cannot find samples on your homepage. So I went to search on what was installed with your product. There is no installation, but I found a tutorial with some samples. In the folder C:\Program Files\Intersoft Solutions\WebGrid.NET 6.0\Tutorials\WG60TutorialsVB\V5.0 I found a sample called SelectSelfRefChildRow.aspx, which would be the most closest to what I want. But that sample has sorting disabled.

The other three samples there that begin all with Hierarchical_... all have sub-tables with separate titles. This is not what I need.

If you look at my sample here:

http://www.intersoftpt.com/Community/WebGrid/Design-question-How-to-add-OnClick-Handler-on-a-field-in-WebGrid/

and take the MergeButtonSample_v3.zip, and open the file DBCalls.vb and in Sub AddRow add this code:

r("R_a") = Rnd()
r("R_b") = Rnd()
r("V_a") = Rnd()
r("V_b") = Rnd()

just before the If Not ParentBlockId...

Then run the sample and try sorting on any field. You can see that the sort-triangels appear in the header, but nothing gets sorted. This is what I meant.

Does this work with a newer WebGrid or do I have to write code for this? If code, then how?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Handy,

Ok, after working on this for weeks now, I found the final solution. Manually caching the expand/collapse status now works.

What I have done:

• In ClientSideEvents I defined handlers for OnSelfRefRowExpand and OnSelfRefCollapse
• added a hidden form field to store the expand/collapse status
• In these JavaScript handlers get grid.GetSelectedObject().GetRowObject() to access the row and wgGetCellByName(row.GetElement(),'colname'); to get the cell, and cell.ID to access the CustomAttributes, which store the row-ID. For expand, add the ID into the hidden field, for collapse remove it from there (comma separated string with IDs).
• In grid's InitializeRow event handler, read this hidden form field and if the current row's ID is contained in the stored form field value, then call e.Row.ExpandSelfRefRow(True) to restore the expand status.
