update single row from xml string

Hello,

I have a grid which can contain a huge number of rows. In order to save time and load i want to update changes only on single rows... Due to the fact that the server consumes a lot of ressources processing the whole xml data everytime a change is done it is mor efficient for me only processing the updated one and send the xml data back to the client

The problem is that i can only get the values as a xml string (unfortunately there is no way to generate a proper xml file).

Is there a way to update a single row (using the rowID) form that xml that contains ONLY this one row's data, analog to the functions "updateFromXML" or "updateRowFromClipboard" , as i.e. "udpatefromXMLString" with the same parameters as "updateFromXML"???

I did not found a way yet how to implement that.

I hope you can help me with this!

THX in advance

greetings Seb

You can set values of any cell by

    grid.cells(i,j).setValue(newValue);
i - row ID
j - cell index

or

    grid.cells2(i,j).setValue(newValue);
i - row index
j - cell index

yes,  i know that but then i have to parse the xmlstring i get from the server and run through every cell in the row. Which is not quite elegant ;-)

So i think i have to write my own function for this.

but thx for the fast reply, i guess this means there is no such function implemented...? am i right?
