Question

How do I trigger a “ondblClickRow” event in jqGrid? I need to invoke the double click event handler of the row on a click of a button.

button:
<a class="btn" id="shwDetails" type="button>Details</a>

grid:
$("#gridX").jqgrid({
...
...
ondblClickRow : function(rowID, iRow, iCol, e){
// event handler
fetchRowData(rowID);
}

...
...
});

The following doesn’t seem to be working.

$('#gridX').trigger( 'jqGridDblClickRow' ); 
$('#gridX').trigger( 'ondblClickRow' );

Thanks in advance.

I your special case you can just call the function fetchRowData directly instead of “trigger a ondblClickRow event”.

If some other code create jqGrid and you really need to “trigger” callback function ondblClickRow (not an event) you can do the following:

var ondblClickRowHandler = $("#gridX").jqGrid("getGridParam", "ondblClickRow");

ondblClickRowHandler.call($("#gridX")[0], rowID);
