I am passing objects to my grid and using a formatter to display it correctly. The whole grid is running locally so the search should be running through javascript.

For instance I pass in

EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Job, etc and use that to create the first column of my table.

The problem I have is when I search... the only thing that it finds is "object" not the fields. How can I write a custom search function so it only searchs FirstName or LastName.

Thanks

Hello,

How is your object constructed.

The below is not tested, but maybe if you define the index property in appropriate way it should work.

Suppose you object is myobject : { FirstName: …, }, then the index in colModel can look like this

colModel :[

{ ... index: myobject.FirstName ... }

...

]

Thanks for the help Tony...

I don't know why I didn't think of that. I think it confused me because right now I am letting it parse it...s o I setup my model and it parses everythign correct grabbing the object (so I didn't think of setting the index as Employees.FirstName).

But it worked like a charm.

Thanks a lot!!!
