getUserData() fetching improper data

Hi,

I am using dhtml xgrid, I trying to fetch global data using getUserData() method, I am getting empty data.

The below code I am using:

//set global user data
function setGlobalUserData(colNullable){

nullableColumns = colNullable.split(",");
for (var i=0; i<nullableColumns.length; i++){

mygrid.setUserData("","column_"+i,nullableColumns[i]);
}

for (var i=0; i<nullableColumns.length; i++){
alert(mygrid.getUserData("","column_"+i));
}

}

In the above code in second for loop I am able to see the global data using getUserData() function.
I am able to see the data in alert messages.

But later I am editing some rows and calling a method after clicking SAVE button:

Here the code follows:

//save the grid values using Data Processor
function saveGridData(){

for (var i=0; i<5; i++){
alert(mygrid.getUserData("","column_"+i));
}

alert("Changed Rows------>"+mygrid.getChangedRows());
var ids = mygrid.getChangedRows().split(",")
for (var i=0; i<ids.length; i++)
for (var j=0; j<mygrid.getColumnsNum(); j++){

alert(mygrid.getUserData("","column_"+j));
if(mygrid.getUserData("","column_"+j) == 'N' && (mygrid.cells(ids[i],j).getValue() == null || mygrid.cells(ids[i],j).getValue() == "")){
var columnId = mygrid.getColumnId(j);
document.getElementById("divErrors").innerHTML = "A value is required for column "+columnId;
return false;
}

}

}

In the above code I am getting global data as empty in alert messages. In all alert messages the data is empty.

Can u please help me to solve the above problem?

In which moment setGlobalUserData function called?

If it was called before grid was initialized - the old userdata may be lost. Each time when grid (re)initialized - old userdata values erased ( after grid.init() or after loading configuration from XML )

Hi,

First I was called before grid initialized, but after seeing your answer I called the setGlobalUserData () method after grid initialized, But I am getting the same result..

Actually I am getting the grid initialization(setting the headers and levels,,etc) code before loading the grid and calling grid.load() function.

So I am setting the global data at before loading the grid. Please see my code let me know the cause for issue....

Code:

// The heade and other values I am fetching dynamically

header=header+pcontArray[0];
            levelHeader=levelHeader+pcontArray[1];
            param1=param1+pcontArray[2];
            param2=param2+pcontArray[3];
            columnIds = columnIds + pcontArray[4];
            intiWidths = pcontArray[5];
            colTypes = pcontArray[6];
            colSorting = pcontArray[7];
            colNullable = pcontArray[8];

if(typeof(mygrid) == "undefined"){
            mygrid = new dhtmlXGridObject('gridbox');
            mygrid.setHeader(levelHeader);
            mygrid.attachHeader(header);
            mygrid.setColumnIds(columnIds); // here the ID's of columns need to be set
            mygrid.setInitWidths(intiWidths);
            mygrid.setColTypes(colTypes);
            mygrid.setColSorting(colSorting);
            
            mygrid.setOnRowSelectHandler(doOnRowSelected);
           
            mygrid.setImagePath("images/Imgs/");
            mygrid.enableBuffering(30);
            mygrid.setEditable(mygrid.isEditable);
            mygrid.setSkin("xp");
            mygrid.setDateFormat("d.m.y"); 
            mygrid.init();
            setGlobalUserData(colNullable);
            mygrid.attachEvent("onGridReconstructed",function(){
            mygrid._fake.resetCounter(0)   // reset cntr indexes for column with index == 0
            return true;
            })
            //function called when editing of a cell
            mygrid.attachEvent("onEditCell",function(stage,id,ind,value){
                if (stage==2) {
                    var type = mygrid.fldSort[ind];
                    var columnId = mygrid.getColumnId(ind);
                   
                        if (!some_check(value,type,columnId)) {
                            alert("incorrect data");
                            return false;
                        }
                }
            return true;
            })
            mygrid.splitAt(1); 
            mygrid.enableAutoHeight(true,270);
           
            mygrid.clearAll();
            mygrid.loadXML('fetchDetails.do?methodName=loadGrid&param1='+param1+'&param2='+param2);
           
            //============================================================================================
   
    myDataProcessor = new dataProcessor('fetchDetails.do?methodName=loadGrid&param1='+param1+'&param2='+param2);
    myDataProcessor.enableDebug(true);
    myDataProcessor.enableDataNames(true);
   
    myDataProcessor.setUpdateMode("off");//available values: cell (default), row, off
    myDataProcessor.defineAction("error",myErrorHandler);
    myDataProcessor.defineAction("insert",setUserDataFunction);
      myDataProcessor.defineAction("delete",setDleteFunction);
      myDataProcessor.defineAction("update",setUserDataFunction);
    myDataProcessor.setTransactionMode("GET",true);
    myDataProcessor.init(mygrid);

}

Please help me this regard and let me know I am doing any thing wrong....

The code is correct , and must not cause any issues

Please check sample, which was sent to your email, it uses similar approach in grid iniitialization and all works correctly.
