thanks Vasya,

it works, but wonder how re-render other columns in that edited row when click "done" because when clicked checkbox other columns in that row that have combo templates are loosing their combo (until refresh)   BTW checkbox also disappear once clicked until "done" is clicked. thanks

thanks, started using dataBound event as suggested and dataSource is not null anymore,  with local data no problem but with POST  when I use your syntax: dataSource = $("#grid1").data("igGrid").dataSource; I'm getting null in row enumeration, although there is data now there in dataSource._data:

  $.each(dataSource, function (index, row) {
                $("#grdlist_" + row.ProductID).CustomList({

error: can't read property ProducID of null

when I use this statement:  dataSource = $("#grid1").igGrid("option", "dataSource"); which works with local data I got error: cannot use 'in' operator in search for length

what am I doing wrong here?
