Using onAdd to set default values in an Editable Datagrid

[mschnitter]

Hello,

I'm using an Editable Datagrid to perform some basic CRUD functions. I would like to set default values when a new row is added to the datagrid.

I read through the documentation and saw that the onAdd event seemed like the perfect place to do this.

Created the following method:

onAdd: function(index,row){
                  row.Key = 'U';             
                  row.Status = 'N';
                }
Key and Status are two columns in my datagrid.

When I run my code, nothing happens. When I step through with the browser JS debugger, it looks like row is not used the same way as other examples that have a seen. I haven't found an example of using onAdd to set default values when a row is added in an edatagrid. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm approaching this the wrong way.

Any Thoughts?

Thanks

If you have the editor on the column, you can get the editor and set its value after adding a row.

Code:

onAdd: function(index,row){
  var ed = $(this).edatagrid('getEditor', {index:index,field:'Key'});
  $(ed.target).textbox('setValue', 'U')
}

You can also set any row values before editing a row.

Code:

onBeforeEdit: function(index,row){
  if (row.isNewRecord){
    row.Key = 'U'
  }
},

Hi Jarry,

Thank You!! That did the trick. I played with the $(ed.target) reference in the debugger, and found that very helpful. I was able to set defaults for the fields I needed in the onAdd event.

Thanks Again
