after search event

[Ken Tjia]

I am testing with a simple read only grid.
with a single search field (exact match)

and once we enter the part number and hit submit or simply hit enter, i have the result display perfectly.

would would be the guidance to do :
* first have the cursor activate on this search field (on the grid)
* second, after submit, i want code to clear the entered search string info, like search_data = ''
and want the cursor to be activate on the search field again.
and ready for the next entry....

more like next search...

I have it to work on testing, however
currently i have to move the cursor back to the search field
and clear the entry with keyboard & mouse.

this is in fact a very simple request, unfortunately i am
not able to do it myself, appreciate your assistance,
i trust there are many who want to see how this is done..

Re: after search event

Try the following:

1) Put the following code in the onSearchRender event under Grid Properties, Javascript - System Events

var e = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.S.PARTNUMBER');
e.focus();

2) Put the following code in the afterSearchSubmit event

{grid.Object}.setValue('S','PARTNUMBER','');

var e = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.S.PARTNUMBER');
e.focus();

Hope it helps.

Re: after search event

Hi David,
T H A N K S you so much for such submission,
i know just how simple it is, however unable to find it.

I got it to work perfectly, and i will produce a live prototype
for the public to see what i attempt to do.

it work so well.......

that lead me to two questions related in a way...

my search to be exact match only, to my strange discovery,
when the search value = '' blank...

the grid will produce record 1....

on do i apply code in "before search event"

is it as simple as if :

{grid.Object}.setValue('S','PARTNUMBER',''); = '' ???????
then stop ?? how do we apply such conditional event?

Re: after search event

this is what i want it to do...
CanSearchSubmit event... obviously not right!

var val1 = $('{grid.componentname}.S.REQUEST_ID').value;

if val1 = ''
{grid.Object}.setValue('S','REQUEST_ID','r');
end if

Re: after search event

This need a slightly different approach

You need to use the main CanSearch event. (see attached). You need to alter the code if you want to display a message.


Just one other point if you have Clear Search enabled you may need to add some of the previous code to the afterSearchClear event under grid properties so that the cursor shows where you want it.

Re: after search event

var e = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.S.PARTNUMBER');
e.focus();

How do I get that to work in the context of a grid? This grid has but a single row.

Re: after search event

Peter,

Try this in the OnGridRender event

var rowNumber = {grid.object}._selectedRow;
var ele = $('{grid.componentname}.V.R' + rowNumber + '.NAMEOFFIELDTOGETFOCUS');
ele.focus();

Re: after search event

Hi Peter,
hope the community is getting better on focusing of various kind...

i have a parent grid with linked-grid (classified as being child grid)
on parent's row change, i would like the cursor to focused on one of
child's field.

Hate to say, my child grid is a new record entry grid (not sure the legality)
it has been working, i just want the cursor to go there.
the field name in this case is a remark_entry field

Currently, i manually have to move it there with a mouse.

Re: after search event

Ken,

Haven't tied this, so not sure if the syntax is correct:

var co = $('{Grid.ChildObject}.V.R1' + '.NAMEOFFIELDTOGETFOCUS');
co.focus();

Re: after search event

Hi Peter,
The linked girds has several child.
Firebug gives me this property ?
you know, it is constantly changing ?

<textarea style="font-size: 11pt;" rows="3" cols="80" id="TECH_WORK_ORDER_LCS_NEWJOURNAL_WO_JOURNAL_ENTRY_RNSF_P1.V.R-1.REMARK" class="PerforatedTextarea" name="V.R-1.REMARK"></textarea>

i presume, i am working along these ?

Re: after search event

{Grid.ChildObject} will resolve itself to the child name.

Check this out, maybe it will help you?

//Show Grid 2 for row 3.
{grid.Object}.showRowExpandGrid(2,3);
