dhtmlxGrid and dhtmlxCombo?


Hi,

Please help me to keep going.

I have a grid with the following column types.
mygrid.setColTypes("cntr,combo,dhxCalendarA,mynum,ed,combo,ro,ro");

How can I populate the combo selection which is in 2nd and 6th columns when I am not suppose to use  xml file to have the
selection items.

I need to have this dynamic based on the row.

If the row = 1 then  combo in the column 1 must be filled with some selected items
If the row  other than one then the combo will be filled with some other items

I have included dhtmlxcombo reference and have the following code but it does not populate the combo.
I don't see any items in the selection combo when I click on it.

This is how I attach the function to the grid.

mygrid.attachEvent("onEditCell",myf);

    function myf(stage,id,index){
        var ind=mygrid.getRowIndex(id);
        if ((index==1)&&(stage==0))//start edit Shipping column
            {
            var combo=mygrid.getCombo(1);
            if (ind%2==1){                      //for even rows
                combo.save();                   //save initial state
                combo.put(1,"1");
                combo.put(1,"2");
                combo.put(1,"3");
                }
                else{
                combo.save();                   //save initial state
                combo.put(1,"1");
                combo.put(1,"2");
                combo.put(1,"3");
                }
            }

        if ((index==1)&&(stage==2))             //for finishing edit
           mygrid.getCombo(1).restore();        //restore combo state
        return true;
    }

What is wrong? I have access to a demo but the combo is loading its data from xml file.

Thanks,

There are few different types of combo 
   combo - dhtmlxcombo , useful when you need to load data from external XML
   co - build in combo of grid

The above sample code can be used with "co" column type, so just change 

mygrid.setColTypes("cntr,combo,dhxCalendarA,mynum,ed,combo,ro,ro");
to the 
mygrid.setColTypes("cntr,co,dhxCalendarA,mynum,ed,co,ro,ro");

Also , in latest version of dhtmlxgrid you can use more simple approach - please check attached sample. 
 

I want to have the drop down arrow which is not available with the simple 'combo'.

Thanks,
