JSON format for grid header?

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

When loading a grid via XML, we can define column headers and other grid attributes with the following syntax:



    

        

            string value

        

        

            string value

        



        Header1        

        Header2        

        Header3        



        

…

        

    



Is this supported with json-based loading? If so, what’s the syntax for the JSON equivalent to this?

Unfortunately JSON format doesn’t support grid header. If you load grid via JSON format you should set grid’s header via API: mygrid.setHeader(); mygrid.setInitWidths();

Thanks for the reply… is this feature planned for a future release?  We’re moving our codebase to json-based rendering, but a significant portion of it uses dynamic headers.  I’d hate to have to move all that logic to the JS side.

Unfortunately, this feature won’t be implemented in the next release.


So, you can initialize grid (set its header) from xml and load rows from json:


mygrid = new dhtmlXGridObject(‘gridbox’);
…
mygrid.load(“header.xml”,function(){

mygrid.load(“data.json”,“json”);
})


Where header.xml is:







string value


string value

Header1
Header2
Header3


…

This doesn’t work.
