Question

I am trying to use multiselect functionality in jqgrid to select multiple rows and pass it to the controller. I have created a button as follows but when I select the rows and click the button, the click button event was not fired. I am guessing I am passing wrong parameter to the function. Below is javascript code…

$("#request").jqGrid('navButtonAdd', '#requestpager',
    {     caption: "Add", buttonicon: "ui-icon-info", title: "Add", //position: "first",
           onClickButton: function (ids) {
           var grid = $("#request");
             var rowids = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selarrrow');
             var count = rowids.length;
            var rowData, colData;
              for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
               rowData = $("#request").getRowData(rowids[i]);
               colData = rowData.Name;
       }
              jQuery("#request").jqGrid({ url: "/Home/Create/" + colData });

Does anyone has any suggestion of what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

well its not difficult to implement multiselect in jqgrid, I’ll give you a working example which i’d implemented in my project.

HTML

<table id="grid" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"></table>//your grid
<div id="pagerGrid" style="text-align:center;"></div><br />//pager
<div><span><button type="button" id="sendMe"  class="send" >Send Me To Controller</button>//button which will take the data of all multiselect rows to controller

in your JqGrid just enable multiselect: true

and write this javascript function

$('#sendMe').click(function(){
       var selRowIds = $('#grid').jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selarrrow');
       if(selRowIds.length>0)
       {
       for( var i=0;i<selRowIds.length;i++){
        var Id=getCellValue(selRowIds[i],'Id');

        var Name=getCellValue(selRowIds[i],'Name');
        var Company=getCellValue(selRowIds[i],'Company');

        $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: '@Url.Action("AddMe")',
        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        data:JSON.stringify({Id: Id,Name:Name,Company:Company}),
        dataType: "json",

        success:function(){
        $('#grid').trigger("reloadGrid");
         }

         error: function () {

        }

        }); 

        }
         }
       });

and you controller method will lok like this

[HttpPost]

 public ActionResult AddMe(int? Id, string Name, string Company)
 {
}

I hope this helps, its a working example…

P.S- please mark it as answer if it helped you.
