Answer 1

In case anyone is looking for an answer to the above question:

I found that if we set the closeAfterSearch:true, then clicking 'Find' button triggers onClose event. Similarly, for Reset button, set the closeAfterReset:true, this again triggers onClose event.

jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navGrid', "#pager",{},{},{},{},
{multipleSearch:true,closeAfterSearch:true, closeAfterReset:true,
   onClose:function()
   {
       //do work
       return true; // return true to close the search grid
   }
});

Hi Marcus,

Sorry did not visit this thread for a while.

To determine the search criteria that user selected before pressing find use below code:

onClose:function()
{
var ofilter = $("#list").getGridParam("postData"); 
 for (var i = 0; i < ofilter.rules.length; i++) 
 {
  alert(ofilter.rules[i].field); //- field name 
  alert(ofilter.rules[i].data); //- value   
  alert(ofilter.rules[i].op); //- which operation performed  
 }  
}
