How to prevent grid from fetching data after grid.setOptions

[Kudryk]

Hello.
Please advise if it is possible to prevent grid from fetching data again after setOptions method was called.

[Kudryk]

I will try to create grid using saved options.

Hello Kudryk,

setOptions() causes the Grid to re-initialize. If the widget is configured with Ajax data-binding, it will surely request its data once again. If it is configured with local data, no request will be made, because the data items are part of the Grid configuration.

Please answer why setOptions() causes the Grid to fetch data even if autoSync is set to false in the dataSource ?

[Kudryk]

Is it possible to modify grid data Source before save settings to not fetch data after restore ?

Hi Dimo.  You mention that you posted information in a support ticket for this issue.  Can you also post them here?  I have the same issue.  Every time grid.setOptions is called I get duplicate calls to an Ajax REST service to retrieve the data.  This is problematic when you have hundreds of users, and I'd like to avoid the extra call.  I appreciate any help or guidance on this. Thanks.

Hi John,

Based on the code snippet provided by Kudryk, I suggested him to set autoBind to false. This will prevent the Grid from requesting data initially, before its proper state has been applied.
