ajaxRequest in uniDBGrid event failing

[misc]

Help, my first trial at ExtEvents is failing completely - what am I doing wrong??
 
Im trying to route a simple celllick client event of my uniDBGrid to my OnAjaxEvent function, and when I load the grid in the browser I get an Ajax error message as seen in the screenshot.
 

 
uniDBGrid ExtEvents:
function cellclick(sender, td, cellIndex, record, tr, rowIndex, e, eOpts)
{
  ajaxRequest(sender, "cellclick", []);
}
 
Delphi:
procedure TMainForm.uniMasterAjaxEvent(Sender: TComponent; EventName: string; Params: TStrings);
begin
  MessageDlg(params.Text, mtInformation, [])
end;

• In your onAjaxEvent, you must test your EventName (ex : if EventName='cellclick' then MessageDlg...)

You don't send any parameter to your AjaxEvent (in your ExtEvent, you wrote : []), so you cannot show params.Text (which will be empty).

It's really frustrating. As soon as I assign any ExtEvents to my uniDBGrid, I get the ajax error "a is undefined".

 

Does anyone have a clue what I am missing or doing wrong?

@ZigZag: the error is client side. It comes whether I pass parameters or not. I don't even get to my AjaxEvent...

[misc]

ok, apaprently the "if EventName = .." statement is mandatory. Didn't know this had an effect on client side as well.

 

Thanx!

I have to reopen this thread due to a question concerning general understanding:

 

If I click on the uniDBGrid Header in the browser, and deselect a column, a "columnhide" event is correctly fired.

 

However, in my server side AjaxEvent, the corresponding column is still marked as visible (Columns.Items[ix].Visible = true). Is this correct? Are the client sided property changes not propagated to the server grid columns?

sender must be an Ext JS component.

 

Try

sender.grid

[misc]

The sender is conveyed correctly to my AjaxEvent (I used "Mainform.Grid" as sender), but it (the server) does not know yet that the column has been de/selected by the user.

 

Does this info come at a later time? How/when is this info conveyed from the browser to the server? The other way around, if I de/select the column from code (column.visible:= ...), everything is displayed correctly.

I failed to understand what you want to achieve by using ajaxEvent.

Hi Michael Schindler.

 

Try:

uniDBGrid1 ExtEvents:

function cellclick(sender, td, cellIndex, record, tr, rowIndex, e, eOpts) 

{   

   ajaxRequest(this, 'cellclick', []); 

}

procedure TMainForm.UniDBGrid1AjaxEvent(Sender: TComponent; EventName: string;

  Params: TStrings);

begin

  if EventName = 'cellclick' then ShowMessage('cellclick');

end;

@ Farshad

 

The Ajax error message was already solved. This I conveyed above through:
 

ok, apaprently the "if EventName = .." statement is mandatory. Didn't know this had an effect on client side as well.

 

I reopened the thread above, because I had another problem / bug (I should have created a new thread, sorry):

 

 

If I click on the uniDBGrid Header in the browser, and deselect a column, a "columnhide" event is correctly fired.

However, in my server side AjaxEvent, the corresponding column is still marked as visible (Columns.Items[ix].Visible = true). Is this correct? Are the client sided property changes not propagated to the server grid columns?

 

 

So, in other words: I want to catch a users column de/seletion on the server side. The only event I could find was (likewise for columnshow):

function columnhide(ct, column, eOpts)
{
  ajaxRequest(MainForm.uniDetail, "columnhide", []);
}

My problem is: the event IS fired, when a user hides a column. However, column.visible is still true on the server side!

 

Does that make it clearer?

uniGUI doesn't mark manually hidden columns as invisible. Hiding columns in client side is a visual only effect.

However, in my server side AjaxEvent, the corresponding column is still marked as visible (Columns.Items[ix].Visible = true). Is this correct? Are the client sided property changes not propagated to the server grid columns?

 

No, currently those events aren't propagated. It is in todo list.

I now tried querying the visible/invisible property through the AjaxEvent, like this:

 

function columnhide(ct, column, eOpts)
{
  ajaxRequest(MainForm.uniGrid, "columnhide", ["column=" + column.getIndex(), "visible=" + column.isHidden()]);
}

 

The result is: "column=-1, visible=true" no matter which column I click.

What am I doing wrong, or is this a bug?

[Farshad Mohajeri]

ajaxRequest(MainForm.uniGrid, "columnhide", ["column=" + column.dataIndex, "hidden=" + column.isHidden()]);

Thank you, Farshad. One small correction:

  ajaxRequest(MainForm.uniGrid, "columnhide", ["column=" + column.dataIndex, "hidden=" + column.hidden]);
