ui.igGridCellMerging

ui.igGridCellMerging_image

Merged cell feature of the igGrid allows you to combine cells in a column that are next to each other and have the same values. This is very useful after a column is sorted, because the cells that have the same values are merged.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igGrid control.

Inherits

  • inherit

    Type:
    bool
    Default:
    false

    Enables/disables feature inheritance for the child layouts. NOTE: It only applies for igHierarchicalGrid.

  • initialState

    Type:
    enumeration
    Default:
    regular

    controls the initial state.

    Members

    • regular
    • Type:string
    • the grid won't be initialized with cells merged.
    • merged
    • Type:string
    • the grid will be initialized with cells merged.

    Code Sample

     
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            features : [
                {

            ]
        });
        
        //Get
        var state = $(".selector").igGridCellMerging("option", "initialState");

Note: Calling API methods programmatically does not raise events related to their operation unless specifically stated otherwise by the corresponding API documentation; those events are only raised by their respective user interaction.
