Automatic new row and pasting new rows into JQXGrid

[MrWinkyParticipant]

I am trying to handle the following user scenarios that the handsontable product did out of the box. Assume we have an editable grid with only 3 rows.

1. Feature 1: Handsontable had an option to ensure the grid had a blank row at the end to allow for a new row, When it was edited, only then was “addnewrow” event fired. Does you grid have a similar feature? I am ok manually ensuring there is always a new row – but I don’t want to have to do all the housekeeping for “whats a real new row versus just a blank row at the end thats available to the user but hasn’t been used”.

2. Feature #2: Handsontable could handle if multiple rows were copied back from excel and when pasted at the last “empty” row, automatically append all the new rows. It could even handle mixed scenarios. Where if your cursor was on an existing row in the grid, the paste would overwrite any existing records and if it hit the bottom of the grid, the paste would then would continue by appending the remaining rows to the end of the grid

Am I missing the trick to adding new rows automatically? and is there a way I can handle these scenarios?

Hi MrWinky,

Unfortunately there is not built in features of that type.

Ok. Thanks. Is there a way I can get a before paste event and change the destination rows myself?

Hi MrWinky,

Right now there is no way to do that.
If you need this functionality, you can send your request to sales@jqwidgets.com like a custom development task.

Hi, I need the same functionality, where I want to manipulate the row data that is pasted. Is there a way now?

Hello Amrit,

You could check our Release History page for all new things and other useful information.
About our future plans, you could check on this page.
Another option is to use a custom logic.
Or as my colleague suggested one more option above.
