If I try to do:

$(document).find(".ui-igcombo")

I am the unable to take datasource and to query it...

Any ideas?

Hi,

I re-open this question because I am in trouble with an igCombo in a grid.
The problem is simple. I created a GridModel by controller side, adding an igCombo with the following code, where gm is my GridModel and updating is my GridUpdating:

            GridColumn colCustomer = new GridColumn();
            colCustomer .Key = "CustomerId";
            colCustomer .FormatterFunction = "mapCustomer";
            colCustomer .HeaderText = "Customer";
            gm.Columns.Add(colCustomer );

            ColumnUpdatingSetting updateSettings = new ColumnUpdatingSetting();
            updateSettings .ColumnKey = "CustomerId";
            updateSettings .EditorType = ColumnEditorType.Combo;
            ColumnUpdatingComboEditorOptions updatingComboEditorOptions = new ColumnUpdatingComboEditorOptions();
            updatingComboEditorOptions.DataSource = customers.AsQueryable();
            updatingComboEditorOptions.DropDownOnFocus = true;
            updatingComboEditorOptions.ShowDropDownButton = false;
            updatingComboEditorOptions.ValueKey = "CustomerId";
            updatingComboEditorOptions.TextKey = "CustomerName";
            updatingComboEditorOptions.FilteringType = ComboFilteringType.Local;
            updateSettings .ComboEditorOptions = updatingComboEditorOptions;
            updateSettings .Required = true;
            updating.ColumnSettings.Add(updateSettings);

Situation:
Grid is initially empty (because I have no items). I click on AddRow and I select a value from the combo list. I click on Done and now mapCustomer formatter function is called...
Here I would like to say something like:
    function mapCustomer(id) {
        var data = // combo datasource related to id...
        return data;
    }

But I am not able to find the way to access datasource from my combo for 2 reasons:

1. I did not define an ID from controller side (also because I did not find how to do that)
2. I don't know if the combo I see duringadding rowis rendered and I can access to that datasource

This is why I can't use the method you suggested...or maybe is there one very similar to select that datasource???

Thanks

Thanks, that's what I am currently doing right now.
