mhead1 & Martin,

Thank you both very much. This was the problem all along-- this has actually solved two separate issues I was having!

Regards,

Alex

Hello Alex,

I still don't see a comment about it there unless I am missing something.  I first saw this on the Row Edit dialog example in the html example in the code with a comment about the primary key needs to be labeled with dataType = "number" if it is actually a number.  I think it should be in the IgniteUI API reference for igGrid in the options section under primary key.  It should explain the use of dataType = "number" and what could happen if it is not used when the data is actually a number.  I had a page where I was using batch updates and noticed this problem (didn't notice before because I usually update immediately with ajax).  I usually didn't label the dataType for that column and I use guids for keys.  Anyway I ended up modifying the generatePrimaryKeyValue to generate a unique key for the grids on my page (3 grids) until I could get it back to the server to create a real guid. It is below where MST.GetNewID is a page-wide array: 

generatePrimaryKeyValue: function (evt, ui) {
var n = Math.max.apply(Math, MST.GetNewID) + 1;
MST.GetNewID.push(ui.value);
var z = '0';
var n = n + '';
var width = 12;
var last12 = n.length >= width ? n : new Array(width - n.length + 1).join(z) + n;
ui.value = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-" + last12;

}

Thanks again for the clarification.

Could you please look at my question about setting width of grid to 100%.  Then resizing the window will cause the grid to resize when going smaller but will add a horizontal scrollbar.  If resizing larger it would stretch the top and bottom of grid but leave the columns at that size the page loaded at.  I just didn't know if I am missing a setting or what.  I ended up using the below as a workaround until someone could let me know for sure:

Under the question:  

Auto Resize Columns/Grid in igGrid on Window Resize

$(window).resize(function () {

        $('table').css("width", "100%");

        $("#SOD_gridServiceList_hscroller_container").css("height", "0");

    });

The table selector will grab the inner table on the grid and resize it back to 100% instead of a fixed width and the height must be changed on the hscroller_container of the grid to 0 to keep if from appearing.  You can't change it to display:none or it will just keep reappearing.

This method will resize the grid with the page and keep the fixed columns the correct width and the non-fixed width columns will stretch or compress correctly without the scrollbar.

Thanks,

Michael
