select coro item

Hi, i have a grid and using a context meno on this grid the user can add a new row (I use addRow()) to add the new row and then selectCell to try and select the first cell in the new row for input. However this first cell is a coro type and therefore the user wants it to open by default for selection, however I can’t seem to get this to work using ‘selectCell’. Any ideas how to do this?

thanks!

You can use editCell() method. docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … t_editcell

Hi Olga,

I tried this (code)
crewTasks.addRow(27000, ["",""]);
crewTasks.selectCell(27000, 0);
crewTasks.editCell();

but it doesn’t work for me. However if I try to add another row, this time it does open the coro box but of the previous item??

thanks

Problem can be caused by default onclick reaction - if grid detects click outside of grid, it closes currently active editor, so it is a bit tricky to open editor in grid, while clicking on some element which is outside of grid.

You can try to change you code as

crewTasks.addRow(27000, ["",""]); crewTasks.selectCell(27000, 0); window.setTimeout(function(){ crewTasks.editCell(); },1);
