Displayfield not updating on setcellvalue of key value column

[mohamedazherParticipant]

Hi,

If a grid has a key/value column, and if you call the grid’s setcellvalue method to update the value of that column, the display field of the column is not updated, it stays the same.

You can try out with http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/gridkeyvaluescolumnwitharray.htm?web

Run this command on the console $(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid(‘setcellvalue’,0,’countryCode’,’IN’)

The value of the column gets updated internally by the displayfield just wont change.

Is there something i am missing? Is there some other way around this issue.

Hi mohamedazher,

Call the method with the displayfield.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the update, however, calling the method with the displayField just changes the display field and the does not change the cells value.

Also when you call this method with the displayField it just changes the displayfield to whatever value you want, including an invalid one but leaves the value as it is.

The only way to change is to update the value and the label manually which sort of defeats the purpose of the key value column.

The ideal way would be to change the cells value and the displayfield gets updated with the correct label as it does during load.

Is there any other way around this issue.
