Grid_1 = Parent table, add, edit delete is available.

Grid_2 = Child Table, has edit and delete icon, but no add.  Adding is done using Grid_3

Grid_3 = Large List of values with descriptions and other data. 

On double click of a row in Grid_3, I check that a row is selected in Grid_1 and call Grid_2.jqGrid('editGridRow', "new",...) to add a new row.  I have tried setting the addCaption in this call to display the description of the data key being added, but it doesn't do anything. 

Since the data keys description in Grid_2 is not editable, it does not diplay in the form.  So I want to display it in the heading.

Thanks for working with me on this,

Ben

I not quite understand which text you want to place in Add dialog? If you want a static text you can use addCaption parameter. If you know any rule to generate a title dynamically you can do all exactly like for the Edit dialog. You should just add parameters for the Add dialog as a navGrid parameter (see parameter prmAdd here).

I tried using the edit version for Add dialog, but it doesn't work.  I looked at the grid.formedit.js and it is uses the same modalhead

I would recommend you to use beforeShowForm and afterclickPgButtons event handler to change the title of the edit dialog, because editCaption not support functions as a value. I created a small demo for you.

Exactly in the way you can use beforeShowForm for delete parameters

var title = $("#delhd"+grid[0].id+ " .ui-jqdialog-title");

instead of

var title = $("#edithd"+grid[0].id+ " .ui-jqdialog-title");

to find the title of the dialog.

About the second question you can do this :

Add the onSelectRow on the first grid

onSelectRow: function (ids) {
       
          jQuery("#Detail").setGridParam()
               .setCaption("New Caption")
               .trigger('reloadGrid');
      }

I'm trying to find a way to do the same you requested in point 1.

Yes, this works, I am currently do this, but that only works for the main grid Caption not the FormEdit Caption.

onSelectRow: function(rowid) {
            if (rowid != tabSelectedRowid){
                tabSelectedRowid = rowid;
                jQuery("#tabsdetail").jqGrid('setGridParam',{
                    url:"profile_tabs_detail_data.php?id="+rowid,
                    page:1
                });
                jQuery("#tabsdetail").jqGrid('setCaption',"Tab Detail: "+ jQuery(this).getCell(rowid,'dash_tab'))
                .trigger('reloadGrid');
            }
        }

Add the onSelectRow on the first grid

onSelectRow: function (ids) {
       
          jQuery("#Detail").setGridParam()
               .setCaption("New Caption")
               .trigger('reloadGrid');
      }

I'm trying to find a way to do the same you requested in point 1.

1. I would like the set the editCaption and delCaption to display data based on the row selected.
2. I am also using one grid to load data into another, I am passing data in editData array, but would like to set addCaption to display some of the data.

Is this possible?  Everythiing I have tried never changes the caption.

Thanks

Ben
