Using cascading combo controls, as igGrid editors, in a MVC solution
posted

When trying to configure an igGrid to have parent and child cascading combo controls as editors, in a MVC solution, changing the parent value doesn't change the values in the child combo. This is the code:

Code Snippet
  1. @(Html.Infragistics().Grid(Model.AsQueryable()).ID("grid1").AutoCommit(true)
  2.     .PrimaryKey("ProductId")
  3.     .Features(features => {
  4.         features.Updating().EditMode(GridEditMode.RowEditTemplate).ColumnSettings(cs => {
  5.             cs.ColumnSetting().ColumnKey("CategoryName").EditorType(ColumnEditorType.Combo)
  6.                 .EditorOptions("id: 'comboCategory',  dataSource: '/Home/GetData', textKey: 'CategoryName', valueKey: 'CategoryName'");
  7.             cs.ColumnSetting().ColumnKey("ProductName").EditorType(ColumnEditorType.Combo)
  8.                 .EditorOptions("id: 'comboCity', dataSource: '/Home/GetData2', parentCombo: 'comboCategory', parentComboKey: 'CategoryName', textKey: 'ProductName', valueKey: 'ProductName'");
  9.         });
  10.     }).DataBind().Render() )

    This was a bug in the igCombo and it is fixed, and will be available in the upcoming service release for 12.2, 13.1 and for release of the 13.2 Ignite UI version. Then using the code above will work. As alternative, you also can use the code below, which utilize the ComboEditorOptions method instead of EditorOptions one, and is a more clear way to define cascading combo controls in grid. It will be available again in the upcoming service release, which will be out at the end of the month.

    Code Snippet
    1. @(Html.Infragistics().Grid(Model.AsQueryable()).ID("grid1").AutoCommit(true)
    2.     .PrimaryKey("ProductId")
    3.     .Features(features => {
    4.         features.Updating().EditMode(GridEditMode.RowEditTemplate).ColumnSettings(cs => {
    5.             cs.ColumnSetting().ColumnKey("CategoryName").EditorType(ColumnEditorType.Combo)
    6.                 .ComboEditorOptions(ces => {
    7.                     ces.ID("comboCategory").DataSource("/Home/GetData").TextKey("CategoryName").ValueKey("CategoryName").AllowCustomValue(false);
    8.                 });
    9.             cs.ColumnSetting().ColumnKey("ProductName").EditorType(ColumnEditorType.Combo)
    10.                 .ComboEditorOptions(ces => {
    11.                     ces.ID("comboCity").ParentCombo("#comboCategory").ParentComboKey("CategoryName").DataSource("/Home/GetData2").TextKey("ProductName").ValueKey("ProductName").AllowCustomValue(false);
    12.                 });
    13.         });
    14.     }).DataBind().Render() )
