If I try to do:

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

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

Any ideas?

Ok Martin, I solved ;-)

As you suggested I saw that example and I copy the idea that combo editor is not generated at a very first time.
So what I did?

1. I extract the combo dataSource on the igGridRendered event, just looking for the exactly column:
           var updating = $("#grid1").data("igGridUpdating");
           var colSettings = updating.options.columnSettings;
   datasource = colSettings[2].editorOptions.dataSource;
2. In this way I am able to call my custom function mapCustomer(id) directly from FormatterFunction of the interested column

As you can see, my big problem was "how to catch the igCombo dataSource". With the bold sentence it is perfectly done.

However, it would be interesting to know how to set ID directly from controller or to pass datasource directly from controller to the GridModel by editorOptions...

Thanks

Hello Flavio,

ColumnUpdatingComboEditorOptions class doesn't have a property for setting "ID" of the combo. And there is no other way to set it in this class. The workaround as you suggested is to use a ColumnUpdatingSetting.EditorOptions property which is a string property. You can set the dataSource by serializing the List<Customer> using the System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaSctiptSerializer class.

Here is an example code:

ColumnUpdatingSetting productSetting = new ColumnUpdatingSetting();

productSetting.ColumnKey = "ProductID";

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();

productSetting.EditorOptions = String.Format("id: 'myCustomId', valueKey: 'ProductID', textKey: 'Name', dataSource: {0}", serializer.Serialize(GetProducts()));

Hope this helps,

That's OK Martin,

Thank you very much for your help!!!
