Determining which column a clicked cell belongs to

[Rich]

Hi everyone

I must be missing something but...

how can I determine which column a clicked cell belongs to (on the client?)


I can see plenty of code examples for row selection and iterating through columns but not for determining which column a cxel belongs to.

many thanks
Richard

Hi,

You can use the  "OnColumnClick" client event of the grid to access the column to which the clicked cell belongs:

function ColumnClick(sender, eventArgs)

 {

    alert("Click on column-header: " + eventArgs.get_gridColumn().get_element().cellIndex);

 }

You can refer to the link

Thanks,

Hi Ibrahim,

Try the following code snippet to access the column name on the client side.

JS:

 <script type="text/javascript" >
      function OnColumnClick(sender, eventArgs)
     {

      alert("Click on column-header: " + eventArgs.get_gridColumn().get_uniqueName());

      }
    </script>

Thanks

I see that this code works great for clicking on the header for that column. I am trying to determine which column was clicked on when the user clicks on a cell in the grid. Is there a way of accomplishing this?

Thanks in advance

I have figured out what I needed to. I just put an if statement in the ItemDataBound event to test if the column is the one i want to fire the event.
