Add Dropdown in JQgrid dynamically

Question

I want to add drop down in JQGrid dynamically.

For example:-

I have below type of grid.

Answer 1

For attribute of type formatter='select' and type='select', jQgrid internally maintains a list of key-value pairs.

So while inserting the new row, you need to provide "ID" as the value of drop down box.

For Example :

For inserting a new row :

  $("#listData").jqGrid('addRowData',index,{kpiParameter:1,product:'XYZ',metric:'1',perkSharing:'XYZ'});

Here, '1' is the ID of KpiParameter. For this solution to work you need to load whole list of key-value pair of the drop down while defining the jQgrid.

You can write jqGrid as below :

jQuery('#kpisetup').jqGrid({
            autowidth: true,
            autoheight: true,
            url : '',
            mtype : 'POST',
            colNames : [  'KPI ID','KPI Parameter', 'Product','Metric','Perk Sharing'],
            colModel : [ {name : 'kpi_id',index : 'kpi_id',autowidth: true,hidden:true,align:'center'},
                         {name : 'kpi_parameter',index : 'kpi_parameter',width:200,
                                                sortable:true,
                                                align:'center',
                                                editable:true,
                                                cellEdit:true,
                                                edittype: 'select', 
                                                formatter: 'select',
                                                editrules: { required: true},
                                                editoptions:{value: getKPIParameters()//LOAD ALL THE KPI PARAMETER KEY-VALUE PAIR}
                         },
                         {name : 'product',index : 'product',autowidth: true,formatter:'showlink',formatoptions:{baseLinkUrl:'#'},align:'center'},
                         {name : 'metric',index : 'metric',width:75,
                                                editable:true,
                                                edittype: "select",
                                                align:'center',
                                                formatter: 'select',
                                                editrules: { required: true},
                                                editoptions: {value: '1:select' //LOAD ALL THE METRIC VALUEs}
                         },
                         {name : 'perksharing',align:'left',index : 'perksharing',autowidth: true,editable:true,edittype: "checkbox",align:'center'}
                       ],
            rowNum : 10,
            sortname : 'kpi_parameter',
            viewrecords : true,
            gridview:true,
            pager : '#kpisetup_pager',
            sortorder : 'desc',
            caption : 'KPI Setup',
            datatype : 'json'
        });

Hope this will work for you.

Thanks, Gunjan.
