Just what the title says: is there a way to insert an XML string directly into a row in the pro version?



So instead of parsing the entire grid as

…<cell…



I can insert just one row:

……



Thanks in advance!

Grid doesn’t support such operation as adding new rows from XML string, but you can use grid.updateFromXML command , which adds any new row from XML.
By default command oriented of loading data from remove url, not from string, but it can be workarounded as

grid._refresh_mode=[true,true];
grid.parse(“xml string here”); //xml string as “<row id=“XX”>……”

So I have:


mygrid._refresh_mode=[true,true];


mygrid.parse("fdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsaffdsafwwww");


If row with id 24 does not exist, then it should create a new one, right?


This doesn't seem to be working, I keep getting that "doXPath(..).0 is null or not an object".

Issue confirmed.
As it was mentioned - updateFromXML was designed to be used with remote url, and not works with local data as expected.
Drop attached patch after common grid’s files - it will resolve problem. ( the same fix will be added to main codebase )

where/how do i insert this patch??



thanks

#6

Just add this code after all other js files ( or to the end of dhtmlxgrid.js )

#7

This patch provides the desired behavior (e.g. “appending” new rows). It appears to cause a regression issue when interactively selecting multiple rows, and invoking .deleteSelectedRows() failing after the first selection set deletion with the error:

this._fillers is undefined

Such issue can be reconstructed if you are using it with dhtmlxgrid 2.0 and combination of srnd and split modes.
Please contact us directly at support@dhtmlx.com , we will provide updated version which contains above patch and has not problem with split+srnd modes.
