Change default sort image

#1

Is it possible to change the default sort image ? (have a different image for up / down sort events instead of (sort_asc.gif)).
If yes, how could this be set programatically?

There is no way to change the image through API, but you can just replace sort_asc.gif and sort_desc.gif with you custom images.

#3

I did a save as of sort image(png) as gif. But this time the image gets rendered in next column for few headers.
Is there a way to make it appear closer to header text.

Refer attachment. (The image gets rendered in description column whereas it should appear in the target column).

The position of image calculated for default image size and may be not good, if you have changed image to one with different size.
The position calculations are hardcoded , so you can change relative part of code

dhtmlxgrid.js line 1067
this.sortImg.style.left=Number(pos[0]+wdth-13)+“px”; //Number(pos[0]+5)+“px”;
this.sortImg.defLeft=parseInt(this.sortImg.style.left)
this.sortImg.style.top=Number(pos[1]+5)+“px”;


or use onAfterSorting event to catch moment when sorting finished and set necessary position of grid.sortImg , which points to the sorting image HTML object.

The code we have received is garbled up without formatting.



Can you send us formatted version of codebase (grid component all js).

The package contains uncompressed version of all js files, check
dhtmlxGrid/sources/…

Overriden setSortImgPos to do an appendChild.

if(el) {
                  mygrid.sortImg.style.visibility=‘visible’;
                  if(window.a_direction) {
                    if(window.a_direction == ‘asc’) {
                        mygrid.sortImg.src = “/bca-networks/images/arrow_down.png”;
                    } else {
                        mygrid.sortImg.src = “/bca-networks/images/arrow_up.png”;
                    }
                  }
                  mygrid.sortImg.style.display=‘inline’;
                  mygrid.sortImg.style.padding=‘0px 0px 0px 6px’;
                  el.firstChild.appendChild(mygrid.sortImg);
                  mygrid.sortImg.style.position="";
              }
