Editing and getCellData

More information on this topic is available in the documentation section: /aw.ui.grid/cell-model.html.

Hi,

I have noticed that when I edit a cell I can retrieve the value
with the function getCellText, but I can't do it with getCellData.

I need to read the value without formatting, so I think that the best choice is to read it from getCellData.

Why editing is not reflected on both methods?

How can I do that?

The editing functionality is not completed yet and this is one of the missing parts. Basically you have to parse the cell text and put it into cell data property on 'cell validated' event.

// after validation update 'data' and remove 'text' properties
obj.onCellValidated = function(textcolrow){
    var 
format this.getCellFormat(colrow);
    var 
data format ? format.textToData(text): text;
    
this.setCellData(datacolrow);
    
this.setCellText(undefinedcolrow); // remove edited text
}
 
When using XML or CSV sources you'll have to add setData(value, col, row) method to the external table object.

var table = new AW.XML.Table;
...
table.setData = function(valuecolrow){
    var 
node this.getNode(colrow);
    if (
AW.ie) {
        
node.text value;
    }
    else {
        
node.textContent value;
    }
}

Thanks for your suggestion Alex!

I have another problem now!

I'm using ActiveWidgets 2.0.0 but the function textToData (system.format.js) does nothing:

obj.textToData = function(text){
        return 
text;
};
 
I have also tried dataToValue and textToValue in formats.number.js.
These reverse formatting methods seem to work only with english format (#,###.).
If I apply italian settings "#.###," the edited values are parsed as english format, so the value is not converted correctly.

The insertion of 123,456 become 123456 and the insertion of 123.456.789 become NaN.

Is there another function that reverse formatting? How can I fix it?

Are there new features about this in ActiveWidgets 2.0.1?

Hi,

how can I refresh the grid?

I have tried to call this.refresh(), but it lock further selection and editing.

I have also thought to skip refresh by formatting directly the data, but I don't have any idea to do it.


obj.onCellValidated = function(textcolrow){ 
    var 
format this.getCellFormat(col); 
    var 
data format ? format.textToValue(text): text
    
this.setCellData(datacolrow); 
    
//this.setCellText(format.doFormat(data)?????,col, row); // apply   formatting to the data value????

    
obj.refresh();
}     
 
Thanks in advance,

The text does not update in 2.0.0 (bug) but it is fixed in 2.0.1.
