Cannot click checkbox

[davenovo]

Hello,
I have created a grid and set up a few columns. One of the columns is bound to a boolean field in my datasource.
I have set the column's formatter to gcfCheckBox and I have set the Editable property to True.

Yet, the column is always greyed out and when I click in it, checkbox stays unchecked.

The column is a calculated column, and I am handling the calculated fields onChange event to update the state of the checkbox. This works fine with a regular dev express data aware grid.

I am wondering if
a) I am doing something wrong. Are there other properties I have to set in order to edit the checkbox
b) can jqgrid not edit calculated fields

First of all

b) can jqgrid not edit calculated fields

This DO NOT

works fine with a regular dev express data aware grid.

But i think this is not the first problem, you will have to make the grid editable, check how to in the jqueryiw14 demo please

I did look at the demo. But there are hundreds of lines of code in that demo. And watched your video on the web how to set up data aware controls. But obviously there is a property I missed. Please let me know which one it is.

Hello

Probably, in this whole area of methods

Code: Select all

    { Panel: Edit, Add, Delete Rows }
    procedure ChangeJQGridNavActive;
    procedure NavigatorWithOptions;
    procedure InlineEditing;
    procedure InlineCellEditing;
    procedure EditDialog;
    procedure EditFieldsValidation;
    procedure AddNewRowDialog;
    procedure DeleteRowDialog;
    procedure EditAddDeleteInTheSameGrid;
    procedure EditFormTypes;
    procedure RunCommandsOnEdit;
    procedure ExternalControl;

In the demo, if I click on "inline editing - autocomplete, datepicker' I get the error shown below

The other grid demos in that section work fine.

I see that I can edit the grid via calling the .EditRow method if JQGridOptions.CellEdit=true.

What I had wanted though is that the boolean field is always editable. i.e. the user just has to click in the grid to toggle the checkbox. Basically, I wanted to mimic the functionality of the "multiselect" column just with my own boolean column that came from a dataset. That way I can track the selection state of the row via looking at that boolean field in the dataset. But I dont want the user to have to click something to call EditRow;

I tried doing something like
procedure TfrmFileSystem.grdFilesJQEventsClick(Sender: TObject;
AParams: TStringList);
begin
inherited;
grdFiles.JQGridOptions.EditRow(grdFiles.JQGridOptions.SelRow);
end;

but that does not give the effect I want either. Basically, I want the effect of the Multiselect column, but implemented on my own via a DataSource.
