Re-applying filters after rebinding data

[gombbcParticipant]

I am trying to get an example where i can reapply filters after data is rebound. What is the best way to achieve this result? Example

Hi gombbc,

The correct call is:

$('#jqxgrid').jqxGrid('updatebounddata', 'filter');

not with ‘filters’. This way, filters are preserved after you call the method.

Thanks, Dimitar! that explanation helps! One final challenge that i am facing. In our application, we are binding the data to a local array as you see in the example i provided. I can not figure out how to update the grid’s data without doing a call like this, “(“#gridId”).jqxGrid({source:updatedArray})”. That call refreshes everything. I tried just changing that line to (“#gridId”).jqxGrid(‘updatebounddata’) and it did not update. I’m thinking i need to do something with the “adapter” variable that i have but can not figure it out.

any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, nevermind, i was able to figure out what i was doing wrong from this article: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation/documentation/jqxdataadapter/jquery-data-adapter.htm

I needed to call the “dataBind” method and then the “updatebounddata”. thanks!
