DhtmlXGrid/Combo isn't loading select list options

Attempting to implement a combo with external xml list. Can’t seem to get the combo wired up correctly…

Here’s my code…

Thanks in advance.

Please, refer to the tutorial about integration of dhtmlxCombo with dhtmlxGrid:
docs.dhtmlx.com/grid__combo_integration.html

I have tried to work through this to no avail. Using the last example on the page, I get an object doesn’t support this property or method error…

atcombo = myGrid.getColumnCombo(5);
atcombo.load(‘data/typesCombo.php’);

You should use “combo” column type. not the “atcombo”.

#5

Done. That error is gone but still no list rendering. Now getting the following error:
TypeError: H is null dhtmlxgrid.js (line 9)
Here’s the external xml file content.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> 
  <item type='combo' label='Select Type' inputWidth='120'>
	<option text='Athletics' value='Athletics'/> 
	<option text='Audio-Visual' value='Audio-Visual'/> 
	<option text='iPad_1_to_1' value='iPad_1_to_1'/> 
	<option text='IT_Network' value='IT_Network'/> 
	<option text='Medical' value='Medical'/> 
	<option text='Music' value='Music'/> 
	<option text='Science' value='Science'/> 
	<option text='Shop' value='Shop'/> 
	<option text='Technology' value='Technology'/> 
	<option text='Vehicles' value='Vehicles'/> 
</item>

I can make no sense of this without knowing WHERE in the scripts the sample code would go in a grid context. For instance, where would one write the ‘Column’ tag as per the example?

Please, open ticket at support.dhtmlx.com and provide with a complete demo, where the problem can be reconstructed locally.

Wish I could. No money in the budget to purchase a pro license. I’ll have to go another route.

Thanks for all your help.

As far as I know the “combo” column type is available in PRO version only.
So, it could be reason, that the “combo” doesn’t work for you.
