Thanks Tony,

I managed to do it in the following way on loadComplete.

(this grids displays only one month so the total number of rows is a minor consideration and they are not paged)

for every row in the grid {

var cp = $("#ETSMonth").getCell(rowid, 'flagcolumn');

switch (cp) {

case "Yes":

sgImg = "ui-icon ui-icon-check" ;break;

case "No":

sgImg = "ui-icon ui-icon-plus" ; break;

case "":

sgImg = "ui-icon ui-icon-close"; break;

};

var nn = "<a href='javascript:void(0);'><span class=' " + sgImg + "'></span></a>"

$("#ETSMonth").setCell(rid, "0", nn);

}

I am guessing that because the subGrid selector column is not part of colModel, getCell or setCell operates on the HTML which would normally contain the cell data.

Hello Rob,

I think replacing the icons this way will not do the job.

jqGrid uses UI Theming and (not) sure we are a little limited.

I will think how to change this (something like in tree grid where this can be configured).

I'd like to change the subgrid column icons to indicate the presence of subgrid data. I can test the value of a row cell to make that determination.

In version 3.4.2 the row data was present when addSubGridCell was called and I was able to change the graphic file depending on the state of a cell in a row.

With version 3.5.3 the icon is implemented through CSS so I'll have to select one of the many framework icons available. However, because of the new gridview functionality (I believe), the data is not set when addSubGridCell adds the html for the SubGrid cell.

Can you recommend a way of doing this that doesn't involve changing the jQgrid javascript files?

I thought I could loop through all the rows after the grid is created and replace the class for the SubGrid cell. If that was a viable method, how would I identify the cell and how would I change the class for the <span> that is set in addSubGridCell.

Thanks,
