MVVM binding for Grid Selected row

[Mahesh]

Hi ,

I have a grid which is binded to list<objects> lets say "List<employee> "

Now I want to have a property in viewmodel like "SelectedEmployee"

How can i bind or configure this?
If i select a row in html page it should fill selected employee?

Thanks,
Mahesh Gupta

Hello Mahesh,

This can be implemented via custom binder for the grid widget.

Here is a sample implementation: http://jsbin.com/jinomela/1/edit

Hi Atanas Korchev,

The solution you provided, is it model dependent?
Will the solution work if have multiple grids each having different models binded and not having ID field.

By observing the code snipped, it looks like it uses id field to pick the selected data item..

I require it as generic which does not depend on model.

Thanks,

Hi,

This solution will work as long as the data source has the schema.model.id option set. The id field is required to find the corresponding item. Feel free to modify the code of this binder per your requirements.
