Link button field in Dojo DataGrid

VishakhaDubey

I am trying to retrieve data from a table related to the rest map service I am using in my application, which is successfuly being retrieved, the problem I am facing is that I have a link field associated with each record in the table which opens a pdf file. I want to create a column containing link buttons for each record which on click opens the pdf related with that particular record. Please suggest me how can I do this.

try using this layout for your datagrid:

           layout = [
                [
                    {name: 'FirstCol', field: '0', width: '80px'},
                    {name: 'SecondCol', field: '1', width: '80px'},
                    {
                        name: " ",
                        field: '2',
                        width: '80px',
                        formatter: function (value) {
                            return new dijit.form.Button({label: "OpenPDF", onClick: function () {
                               // your stuff depending on value
                            } })

                        }
                    }
                ]
            ];

if you get your data from your map service populate your datagrid in this way:

            dataForGrid = [];

            for (var key in mapServiceResponse.items) {
              
                dataForGrid.push([mapServiceResponse.items[key].firstField, responseAttivita.items[key].secondField, mapServiceResponse.items[key].objectid]);

// the third parameter is the value you get in your third column formatter

            }

            data1 = {
                items: dataForGrid
            };

            store = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({
                data: data1
            });


grid = new dojox.grid.DataGrid({
                    store: store,
                    structure: layout,
                    rowSelector: '20px'},
                document.createElement('div'));
