Nice solution, stupid I didn't realise this was an option too. Thanks!!

Hi Andi Santoso,

Thanks for your reply and clearifying example. It was indeed what I was looking for. The 'window.' prefix is a nice example for my case. I couldn't find any of that in the examples, but just this one explains it all.

Thanks and I wish you a nice day too!

Just one more thing. I'm now at the stage whereby I need to add some templated databound columns to the above example. With other, not clientbinding grids, templated columns works as designed, however with clientbinding it returns a javascript error:

line 8
char 38880
"'null' is null or not an object"

My column definition is as follows:

<ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Test" DataMember="UserName" ColumnType="Template" Width="100px">
    <CellTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="Label7" runat="server" Text='Test' />
    </CellTemplate>
</ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>

Currently just for test, but it simple doesn't work with 'DataMember' assigned. If I leave that empty, it works, but unfortunatly I do need the data.

My last try was defined like this:

<ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Test" ColumnType="Template" Width="100px">
    <CellTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="Label7" runat="server" Text='<%# Test() %>' />
    </CellTemplate>
</ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>

It calls a server side method to calculate some text, but unfortunatly it doesn't call the method (by debugging it's not stepping into at least).

So I'm a little bit lost about what to do and how to get some custom data in it. I'd like to display a subproperty from the dataobject (Department.Code), which is not possible to do without a TemplatedColumn I believe.

Anyone got an idea? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Herman

Perfect solution, thanks for the clear sample. Very quick sample too!

Hi Handy,

Thanks again for a reply. I'll have a look what you mean by delay/timeout. For the moment, answers to your questions:

No I don't use clientbinding. From an AJAX response call to search my database, I fill the grid with the results as follows:

function searchCompleted(result)
{        
    var grid = ISGetObject("SearchResultsWebGrid");
    if(result != null)
    {
        for(var i = 0; i < result.length; i++)
        {
            var newRow = grid.RootTable.NewRow();

            newRow.KeyValue = result[i][0];
            var cells = newRow.GetCells();
            
            cells.GetNamedItem("UserName").SetText(result[i][1], true);
            cells.GetNamedItem("FullName").SetText(result[i][2], true);
            cells.GetNamedItem("PhoneNumber").SetText(result[i][3], true);
            cells.GetNamedItem("MobilePhoneNumber").SetText(result[i][4], true);
            cells.GetNamedItem("EmailAddress").SetText(result[i][5], true);
            cells.GetNamedItem("Department").SetText(result[i][6], true);

            newRow.AddPendingChanges();
        }
    }
}

My grid definition:

<ISWebGrid:WebGrid ID="SearchResultsWebGrid" runat="server" Width="100%" Height="493px" UseDefaultStyle="True" DefaultStyleMode="Win7">
    <LayoutSettings AllowBatchUpdate="True" AllowAddNew="Yes" AllowEdit="No" AllowDelete="Yes" AllowContextMenu="false">
        <ClientSideEvents OnAfterInitialize="WebGrid_HideInsertRow" />
        <BatchUpdateSettings HighlightChanges="false" PromptUnsavedChanges="false" AllowReviewChanges="false" AllowUndoChanges="false" />
        <StatusBarStyle CssClass="general_invisible" />
        <TextSettings>
            <TextItems>
                <ISWebGrid:WebGridTextItem TextItem="CommonText/NoData" TextValue=" " />
            </TextItems>
        </TextSettings>
        <FrameStyle CssClass="gridmodal" />
    </LayoutSettings>
    <RootTable ColumnHeaders="Yes" DataKeyField="MessageId">
        <Columns>
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Username" DataMember="UserName" Name="UserName" Width="90px" />
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Name" DataMember="FullName" Name="FullName" Width="150px" />
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Phone" DataMember="PhoneNumber" Name="PhoneNumber" Width="80px" />
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Mobile phone" DataMember="MobilePhoneNumber" Name="MobilePhoneNumber" Width="100px" />
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="E-mail" DataMember="EmailAddress" Name="EmailAddress" Width="130px" />
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Department" DataMember="Department" Name="Department" Width="70px" />
        </Columns>
    </RootTable>
</ISWebGrid:WebGrid>
