It is possible to dynamically generate the XML required by the Grid by echoing well formed XML snippets.
eg. In the case of a combo
echo '<cell type="coro" xmlcontent="1" editable="0"> ....
For a date picker attached to a cell
echo "<cell type='dhxCalendarA'>"
Ho do you configure the Calendar to have a ‘Now’ button? If the cell value is empty then the calendar will show the current Year and Month with the Date not highlighted. If the cell value is a valid date then the calendar will pop up - aligned with Year and Month (not Date).
Is it possible to have a control on the calendar that allows the date to be set to Now?
