I am creating a gridView dynamically and need to add a date chooser as editor if the data type is date.

resultGridView=new HtmlGridView();

ColumnSelectRow csr=new ColumnSelectRow();

resultGridView.getColumns().add(csr);

HtmlOutputText cHeading;

...............

while(isSomething)

{

column=new Column();

cHeading=new HtmlOutputText();

cHeading.setValue(mData.getColumnCaption());

column.setHeader(cHeading);

UIOutput columnContent = new UIOutput();

columnContent.setValueBinding(

"value",context.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{DATA_ROW."+property+"}"));

columnContent.setConverter(CfQueryBuilderUtils.getConverter(mData));

if (mData.isDate())

{

}

else if (mData.isDropDown()){

}

else{

}

//columnContent.

column.getChildren().add(columnContent);

resultGridView.getColumns().add(column);

}

resultGridView.dataBind();

}

I don't need the whole code if you can point me to the right classes that should be good enough.

Thanks

Hi,
To dynamically create a grid that involves the same functionality as the static code above you have to create in principle an instance of the HtmlDropDownList() class and set it as an editor for the column (just like you set the header of a column with column.setHeader(columnHeader);) with column.setEditor(). Unfortunatelly I noticed that such method is missing in our implementation of the grid.
So, the advice I could give to you is to Submit a feature request to Infragistics.

Regards!

Thanks. But no thanks.

The requirement is to display all cell as output i.e. text and display dropdown or datechooser or a text field when user clicks a cell.

In other words I need to create dynamically something equivalent:

<ig:column >

<f:facet name="header">

<h:outputText value="Hire Date" />

</f:facet>

<f:facet name="editor">

<ig:dateChooser value="#{DATA_ROW.hireDate}"

editMasks="MM/dd/yyyy"

styleClass="igGridCellEditDate" />

</f:facet>

<h:outputText value="#{DATA_ROW.hireDate}">

<f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" />

</h:outputText>

</ig:column>

Hi,

You can find a sample method, that dynamically adds a DropDownList to a WebGrid here. Adding DateChooser should work in the same way.
