I have seen lots of questions and answer about this. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am trying to have a grid filtered when I first display it. I have a filter toolbar, and can successfully filter after it is loaded from user input data. The problem is when trying to filter prior to user input.
grid.jqGrid({
...
colModel: [
{ name: 'someName', label: 'someLabel', index: 'someIndex', width: 110,
sortable: true, editable: true, edittype: "select",
searchoptions: { defaultValue:'Default value' } }
...
grid.jqGrid('filterToolbar', { defaultSearch: 'cn', stringResult: true });
the column filter is successfully set to "Default Value". I can go press enter on it, and have the column filtered by it. What can I do to have the grid initialize itself with the filter set?
I know that I can call
grid[0].triggerToolbar();
To have the postdata.filters updated. But, if I do that after setting the toolbar above, it is too late. The query has already been sent to the server. I am sure that I need to do this perhaps in beforeSend?
Thanks, Scott
