[Solved] Grid edit mode combobox not showing selected item

[Gerard Eikelboom]

Hi,
A column in my Grid is showing the data from my model. When I want to edit this one I want to choose from a combobox.
So when I click on Edit the value wich was first shown is gone.
In the column I have a dropdown (that's ok) with the values from the database. The selected value is in the combobox.
So everything seems to work only the selected item is not shown on Edit.
I have a standard piece of js code for onEdit:

$(e.form).find('#allvaluta').data('tComboBox').select(function (dataItem)
           {
               return dataItem.Text == e.dataItem['myvaluta'];
           });

allvaluta = the combobox.ascx
myvaluta = column in my grid.

I bind the combobox in a AJAX client side way:

<%= Html.Telerik().ComboBox()
        .Name("allvaluta")
        .HighlightFirstMatch(true)
        .Filterable(filtering =>
            filtering.FilterMode(AutoCompleteFilterMode.Contains))
        .DataBinding(binding => binding.Ajax()
        .Select("_SelectedValuta", "Account").Cache(true))
%>

I hope you can help me with ths small issue.

Hello Gerard,

 
At first glance, everything looks correct. In order to proceed with our investigation, I will ask you to send us a simple test project. Thus I will be able to observe the issue locally and advice you further.

Hi Georgi,

I made a test application (used one we used before and added the client edit.
It's a bit crappy( for instance if you startup the application you don't see the arraow in the first column. You can click in the column and the client grid wil open.)
Then on your right you see a crappy button. Click it and you are in edit modus. You see what exactly what we have at the moment in our application.
 I made it for the len column.
Good luck,

Hi Georgi,

I found a solution for the problem.
instead of

$(e.form).find('#allvaluta').data('tComboBox').select(function (dataItem)
           {
               return dataItem.Text == e.dataItem['myvaluta'];
           });

I use:

var valutacombo = $('#allvaluta').data('tComboBox');
                $(e.form).find(valutacombo);
                valutacombo.fill(function () {
                    valutacombo.select(function (dataItem) {
                        return dataItem.Text == e.dataItem['myvaluta'];
                        })
                });

It shows the valuta as in the grid.
This one is solved for me.
One problem left.
