Re-rendering individual grid cell

[mattpainter]

Hi,

I have a Live Grid with many columns and a separate editing panel for the grid's fields.

I am successfully updating the grid's store with the model data from the edit panel, however I would like to re-render only the affected row in the grid and cannot determine how.

The Javadocs for Store indicate that the grid is automatically updated, however my code below doesn't appear to:

grid.getStore().update(model);I resorted to the rather nasty code to re-render the grid:


grid.getStore().fireEvent(ListStore.DataChanged, new StoreEvent<ItemGridModel>(grid.getStore()));however this resets the grid's horizontal scrolling. The grid has around 30 columns so this is not ideal. Ideally, I'd like for the user to be able to scroll to a position in the grid, edit the fields for the selected row, hit save and for the grid to not move.

Is there a simple re-render row event that can be fired? I've dug through the editable grid code in GXT for the closest equivalent and can't see anything obvious. I could try View.focusCell() but I suspect this will still make the grid jump.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi guys,

After many dead ends (not knowing anything about the inner workings of GXT grids) and laboriously step-debugging through rendering code, I fixed my issue by calling the rather obvious refreshRow().

My trap was that I was updating the Live Grid's store when a model was being updated, however I wasn't updating the display store so early attempts at calling refreshRow() were doing nowt.

if you update a Record from the store then the grid view is also updated.

Hi Arno,

Of course, you're right. I got side-tracked with the refreshRow() however I see now that my fundamental problem was that I wasn't updating the display store (this is a live grid, so there's two stores and I was only initially updating the non-display store).

I've removed the call to refreshRow() and all still works dandy.

Thanks,
M
