Hello Rob,
“This one seems to simply load the content of the selected row to validate fields including hidden fields. I could not find an example of the script that builds the form.”
Calling the method editRow builds the form. The form is builded on the data and options of the grid.
“What we need is to dynamically configure the modal form with fields that are not necessarily in the grid along with a few fields from the selected row. This information would be posted back to the server to create a set of new rows to be fed back to the grid.”
IMHO there are diffrent solutions.
If you want to be a consistent with the grid and use the form editing methods maybe you will need tyo define additinal hidden fields which are editable. This will allow you to solve this problem. Of course in this case you will need to fill these fields in the grid with empty data.
If you do not want to to do this maybe it is a good idea to construct your own form and use some grid methods to populate or add data – I mean getRowData, setRowData and addRowData. Also in this case you can use the available GriToForm and FormToGrid methods.
