Get Value

I need to get value of a cell of the row selected width specifying the column name.
And i don't know column index, just the row selected.

For example :
var value = grid.cells(rowId,"MY COLUMN NAME").getValue();
instead of
var value = grid.cells(rowId,columnIndex).getValue();

It's possible ?

thanks

You can't use column names, but you can use column IDs ( which can be specified by setColumnIds or id attribute in configuration XML )

grid.cells(rowId,columnIndex).getValue()
grid.cells(rowId,grid.getColIndexById("column id")).getValue();

In theory you can locate the column index by its name through getColumnLabel method ( itterate through columns and compare their names to known one ), but it really not the best approach
