set a different editmode for a specific cell

[aldo86Participant]

Hi,
Is it possible to set a different editmode for a specif cell or write some code to achieve that? If I create a column with columntype dropdown I’ve to click on the cell 3 times before the dropdown will be open so I want to do that with 2 click: 1st select and show dropdown/editor 2nd open the dropdown/editor.

Best Regards
Aldo

Hi Aldo,

No, it is not possible to set a different edit mode for a specific cell. However, in the “initeditor” callback function of your column, you can call editor.jqxDropDownList(‘open’); to open the DropDownLsit automatically.

Hi,
it seems a good idea so I’ve tried like this:

columnsH.push({ text: val, datafield: i, columntype: 'dropdownlist', cellsrenderer: _this.cellsrenderer, width: _this.allWidths[i],
        				createeditor: function (row, value, editor) {
                            editor.jqxDropDownList({ source: _this.editors['all'][i], placeHolder: "Auswahl" });
                            
                        },
                        initeditor: function (row, cellvalue, editor, celltext, cellwidth, cellheight) {
                            editor.jqxDropDownList('open');
                        }
        			});

but when the dropdown is open sometimes its content is not anchored to the field

Hi,
Is it right the code above? Is it what you mean? Have you get the same problem?

Hi aldo86,

The problem comes from the fact that initeditor is called before the editor is actually visible. The solution is to call the “open” method in a setTimeout function.
