Embed File Search in Grid

We tried using a field outside of the grid that browses, but it does not put the file name into the grid.  I’m looking for something similar to a combo box column so that the functionality is embedding directly in the grid.

Ouside filter cannot put value to the grid. It just filter grid with some condition. If you want put some value to the grid you can use setValue(“newValue”) method

I want to use an embedded file search.  Is that possible?  Am I not being very clear about what I need?  The answers haven’t had anything to do with what I want.

dhtmlxGrid hasn’t appropriate method which can allow you search ouside the grid.

I don’t want to search outside the grid, I want to search INSIDE the grid.

To put combox filter to the grid use:


mygrid.attachHeader("#select_filter);


#select_filter - select box, which value is used as filtering mask;
