Selector for widgets in Grid

[joelkParticipant]

Many examples for working with widgets ID the element directly, e.g. ‘#jqxdropdownlist’, which makes sense if I create that element directly.

It’s not clear to me, though, how I can select a dropdownlist (or other type widget) which is created for me within a grid as a result of a column specification, e.g.:
$(“#mytable”).jqxGrid(
{
columns : [
{ text: ‘Data Type’,
datafield: ‘dataType’,
columntype: ‘dropdownlist’,
}…
]…
}

1) What is the default selector given to such an element? Esp. including if I have multiple of the same type within a single grid?
2) Is it possible to specify user-defined CSS ID’s and/or classes in the definition of columns containing widgets?

Thanks

Hello joelk,

The editor widget (in this case – jqxDropDownList) is only accessible in the column’s createeditor, initeditor and geteditorvalue callback functions as the editor parameter – a jQuery object you can use directly to manipulate the widget. Please check out the demos Customized Editors, Custom Column Editor and Custom Row Editor to see these in action.
