Is it possible to have user input fields in data grid?

Neha_Mathur

We have a requirement where the users should be able to input a date for each row in a datagrid. Is it possible to have a date input field in every row of the grid where the users can manually input and save a date related to item in each row.

Till now I have only come across instances where datagrids get populated with the values but none where user is able to enter some data in the grid row.

Please help, if this is possible then ols share some sample code.

yes,

It is possible to make it work.

We have implemented the same in our application. in our case we put a button in each datagrid row to save the user keyed in values.

initialize an integer in side a scriplet of JSP like below.

<%

int i=0;

%>

<dmf:datagridRowTd width="15%" nowrap="true" cssclass='doclistfilenamedatagrid leftAlignment' >

     <dmf:text name='<%="comments_text_"+i%>' id='<%="comments_text_"+i++%>' size="40" style="display:none" tooltipnlsid='MSG_DOC_NO'/>

</dmf:datagridRowTd>

here the id will concatenated with the integer value so each control will have unique id.

<dmf:image nlsid='MSG_SAVE' name='propImage' runatclient="true" onclick="save" src='<%= strContextPath+ "/custom/theme/tp/images/save.gif"%>'>

          <dmfx:argument name='objectId' datafield='r_object_id'/>

          <dmf:argument name='type' value='<%="comments_text_"+i%>'/>

</dmf:image>

in javascript we need to write some thing like below.

function save(arg,arg1,arg2,arg3)
{
  
   var index=arg2.substring(arg2.lastIndexOf('_')+1,arg2.length);
     var id="object_name_text_"+index;
 
    if(document.getElementById(id).style.display=="none")
    {
      alert("Record not been Edited !!");
    }else{
           var r=confirm("Continue to Update Record !!");
           if(r==true)
           {
            
             var comm=document.getElementById("comments_text_"+index).value;
              postServerEvent(null, null,null, "updateRecord","objectId",arg1,"comments",comm);
             
            
           }
    }
  
}

updateRecord will run on the server side will update the corresponding record.

in place of button you can set onchange controls...
