Enhanced Search Widget - auto open datagrid

MayJeff — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 18:48:56 GMT

I downloaded seach widget from here http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=5d4995ccdb99429185dfd8d8fb2a513e. How to auto open datagrid like the sample here (http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.0/index.html?config=config-eSearch.xml&search=2&slayer=3&exprnum=1)? I try to change the auotoopendatgrid to "true" on eSeachwidget.xml but still the same.

May Jeff,

You need to read the documentation about using the Fixed datagrid. Enhanced Search Widget Fixed Datagrid Setup.pdf

Thank you for the quick reply. Just finished setting up the datagrid but no result showed on the datagrid table after clicked the search button.

May Jeff,

Did you change the follow step 5 in the Enhanced Search Widget Fixed Datagrid Setup.pdf?
Do you have any fields in your eSearchWidget layer that are marked gridfield="true"?

I changed everything. Can you help me see the codes here? Thanks.

Jeff,

That all looks good as it is the default stuff I provide with the download. What I don't see is the portion of the eSearchWidget.xml that tells the widget to use the fixed datagrid (as I mentioned earlier Step 5 of the pdf) which appears after all the layers and tables are listed.

<floatorfixed>fixed</floatorfixed><!-- possible values are fixed and float -->

May Jeff,

Glad you got it works, but you should mark the persons post that helped you answer your question with the green check mark (i.e. mark as the answer) and not your own unless you believe that the poster did not provide adequate help and you did answer your own question.

Too excited and accidentally click the wrong check mark! You should get the CREDIT 🙂
