Using grid.post with enablePaging

Hi,

I am using a gid with paging enabled. When I use grid.loadXML to populate grid the paging works fine with posStart and count available. However, if I use grid.post to populate the grid the paging parameters posStart and count are no longer available ..

The existing logic of dynamical loading, will call grid.load each time when new data need to be fetched.
Basically, if you are loading grid by post - it will work normally except it will use "get" requests to fetch additional data.

You can adjust it in dhtmlxgrid.js , line 5286

    render_dataset:function(min, max){
        ...
            this.load(this.xmlFileUrl....

this.load can be replaced with this.post

Hello,

I've got the same problem as Dave, but I don't really want to change your source code. Changes like that make it really hard to upgrade to a newer version of dhtmlxSuite later.
Would it be possible to tell the dhtmlxGrid to use the method "POST" instead of "GET"?
Something like:

grid.enableSmartRendering(true, 400, "post");

Cheers,
Thomas

Since version 2.0 dhtmlxGrid contains dhtmlxgrid_post.js extension, which adds support for such operations.

Also you should add "onDynXL" event to your grid :
grid.attachEvent("onDynXLS",function(start,count){
  grid.post(url,"start=&"+start+"count="+count);
  return false;
})

Thanks a lot!

Works like a charm.

PS: The event "onDynXLS" seems not to be in your on-line documentation: http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/events.html#grid_api_ev
