jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi All,

While evaluating the free trial version for commercial use, I am trying to add a masked input control to the Edit Dialog using Digital Bush plugin but it’s not cooperating. While the plugin itself is working flawlessly for me, combined with a custom edit control it is not masking anything. Tried other plugins with no luck.

Having modified one of MVC demo’s, I ended up with the following changes.

Model:
new JQGridColumn { DataField = "ShipName",
 Editable =  true,
 EditType = EditType.Custom,
 EditTypeCustomCreateElement = "createGridEditElement",
 EditTypeCustomGetValue = "getGridElementValue"
 }      

View:
    function createGridEditElement(value, editOptions) {
        return "<input id='ShipName' type='text'></input>";

    }

    function getGridElementValue(elem, two, three) {
        return $(elem).val();

    }

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#OrdersGrid").setColProp('ShipName', {
            editoptions: {
                dataInit: setTimeout(function () { $('#ShipName').mask("99-99"); alert('mask has been set') }, 1000)
            }
        });
    });

The above dataInit handler along with its timeout is just my latest sample. I am getting my alert but no masking action.
While there is a sample of using masked input in JQGrid I’d really like to see it working in an MVC app.

Is there a working MVC JQGrid demo complete with edit popup and a masked input?

Whether it would be using custom controls or not is not important as I am trying to accomplish the masking of user inputs using the most straightforward approach available. Perhaps there is an option in JQGridColumn that I am missing.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
