Get Selected Cell column name

[William]

If I have a Grid with the selection mode cell how can I get the selected cells column name and database field?  I can get the row and all the items on the row but I'm having a bit of trouble finding anything with just the cell information.  It would be nice to get the row and the column index also of the selected cell. I need to create a new grid by filtering with the column field.

Thanks

Thanks- that gives the index but how do I get the cells field and column name?  I need the data field for that cell so I can pass in the value as a parameter.

Hi William,

To get the column name you can select the header with the index of the selected cell and get it's text using this line of code:

var colName = $('#grid').find('th').eq(colIdx).text()

I have prepared an example showing a possible implementation of how to see the row index and the column name of a selected cell:

Hello Vinit,

You can get the dataItem on the click, and that dataItem contains all the information about the fields in the current row, as shown in this example:

If this does not help, please explain in details what exactly are you looking for, so I can further assist you.

The only problem with this, is that if you have the menu turned on it will include "Column Settings" in the text, which means you have to check if it contains instead of just checking the exact value
