Question

who knows a way to create a custom cell fora dojox.grid.DataGrid? I of course could use the get and formatter properties of the layout, but this is not a really reusable solution!

Thanks for your input!

You can try an indirect way to add a dojo widget to a grid cell

1) Set escapeHTMLInData to false for the dojox.grid.DataGrid

2) Then in the get/formatter function try something like

function formatterFn() {
    var buttonToReturn = dijit.form.Button({
        /* Button attributes */
    }
    var div = document.createElement("div");
    div.appendChild(buttonToReturn.domNode);
    return div.innerHTML;
    // You can leave the div orphan
}

You can conditionally return different widgets to suit your needs

Hope it helps!
