Form Editing

The DataGrid can use the Form component to arrange cell editors when users modify a row. The Form allows users to edit values from visible and hidden columns (see the Notes column).

To enable form edit mode, configure the following properties:

• Set editing.mode to "form"
• Assign true to the editing object's allowAdding, allowUpdating, and allowDeleting properties.

A column's default editor is defined automatically based on this column's dataType. To customize this editor or replace it with another editor, use the column's formItem object. This demo shows how to replace the default editor in the Notes column with a TextArea. Refer to the SimpleItem help topic for information on all settings that you can define in the formItem object.

You can also set up the edit Form from scratch. The component's configuration section lists available settings. Specify these settings in the editing.form object. Refer to this object's description for more information about this edit mode's limitations.
