Hy,

I want to make a dynamically populated html select for a select cell. I extract some information from a database which is different for every row item. The problem is that the editor loses the initial data and I don't konw how to keep some data for a specific cell. Has someone done this ?

function StandardSelectCellEditor($container, columnDef, value, dataContext) {
var $input;
var $select;
var defaultValue = value;
var scope = this;

this.init = function() {
    $input = $("<INPUT type=hidden />");
    $input.val(value); 
    }

    $input.appendTo($container);

    $select = $("<SELECT tabIndex='0' class='editor-yesno'>");
    jQuery.each(value, function() {
      $select.append("<OPTION value='" + this + "'>" + this + "</OPTION></SELECT>");
    });
    $select.append("</SELECT>");

    $select.appendTo($container);

    $select.focus();
};


this.destroy = function() {
    //$input.remove();
    $select.remove();
};


this.focus = function() {
    $select.focus();
};

this.setValue = function(value) {
    $select.val(value);
    defaultValue = value;
};

this.getValue = function() {
    return $select.val();
};

this.isValueChanged = function() {
    return ($select.val() != defaultValue);
};

this.validate = function() {
    return {
        valid: true,
        msg: null
    };
};

this.init();
};
A: 

A similar queations was asked here (this one is however not slickgrid tagged).

I did make a SelectEditor, with a flexible range of options depending on the column we are in. The reason of thinking here is that the datatype of the value you edit in a column will determine the valid choices for this field.

In order to do this you can add an extra option to your column definitions (e.g. called options) like this:

 var columns = [
  {id:"color", name:"Color", field:"color",  options: "Red,Green,Blue,Black,White", editor: SelectCellEditor}
  {id:"lock", name:"Lock", field:"lock",  options: "Locked,Unlocked", editor: SelectCellEditor},

]

and access that using args.column.options in the init method of your own SelectEditor object like this:

 SelectCellEditor : function(args) {
        var $select;
        var defaultValue;
        var scope = this;

        this.init = function() {

            if(args.column.options){
              opt_values = args.column.options.split(',');
            }else{
              opt_values ="yes,no".split(',');
            }
            option_str = ""
            for( i in opt_values ){
              v = opt_values[i];
              option_str += "<OPTION value='"+v+"'>"+v+"</OPTION>";
            }
            $select = $("<SELECT tabIndex='0' class='editor-select'>"+ option_str +"</SELECT>");
            $select.appendTo(args.container);
            $select.focus();
        };

        this.destroy = function() {
            $select.remove();
        };

        this.focus = function() {
            $select.focus();
        };

        this.loadValue = function(item) {
            defaultValue = item[args.column.field];
            $select.val(defaultValue);
        };

        this.serializeValue = function() {
            if(args.column.options){
              return $select.val();
            }else{
              return ($select.val() == "yes");
            }
        };

        this.applyValue = function(item,state) {
            item[args.column.field] = state;
        };

        this.isValueChanged = function() {
            return ($select.val() != defaultValue);
        };

        this.validate = function() {
            return {
                valid: true,
                msg: null
            };
        };

        this.init();
    }

Do you really need different select options for each individual field ? If so you may consider coding the value if each field itself as an object having the value and its options (e.g. "Blue|Red,Green,Blue,Black,White". You need an extra CellFormatter to show the value, and you can change the CellEditor code to get the options from the value after the "|" sign. Take care to write back the value including the option list after edit is done in order not to lose this information ...
