We have a page with 2 infragistics grid, and only one of them is visible at any given time.

Visibility is toggled on button click.

 

  1. Page is loaded with Grid #1 visible and Grid# 2 is not visible
  2. I click on the button, making Grid#2 visible (and making Grid#1 invisible)
  3. Now when I move mouse over the Header of Grid#2, I get javascript error saying ‘editorControl’ is null.

 

I found that moving mouse over Grid#2 header fires function ‘igtbl_headerMouseOver(evnt,gn)’ which in turns fire ‘igtbl_inEditMode(gn)’ and its parameter ‘gn’ is set to igtbl_lastActiveGrid’. and ‘igtbl_lastActiveGrid’ is set to the id of Grid#1.

 

This function ‘igtbl_inEditMode’ contains the line

 

var g = igtbl_getGridById(gn);

 

At this point my Grid#1 is invisible, and so javascript cant find it. So ‘g’ is ‘null’.

 

Now the next line is ‘g.editorControl’. Since ‘g’ is null, I cant get ‘editorControl.’, thereby throwing the error ‘editorControl is null’.
