How to create a Docking Manager sample using Grid control?
1 min read
This knowledge base explains how to create a docking manager sample using Grid control.
Solution:
We can achieve this requirement by rendering the Grid controls within the corresponding Dialog controls. So, we can change the position of Grid controls by dragging the corresponding Dialog control.
- The Grid initialization as follows.
HTML
<div class="cols-sample-area"> <div class="control"> <div id="Dialog1" title="Grid1"> <div id="Grid1"></div> </div> <div id="Dialog2" title="Grid2"> <div id="Grid2"></div> </div> <div id="Dialog3" title="Grid3"> <div id="Grid3"></div> </div> <div style="margin-top:400px;"> <input type="button" value="Export layout" id="exportButton" /> <br /> <br /> <textarea id="exportOutput" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea> </div> </div> </div>
JS
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
// declaration
$("#Dialog1").ejDialog({ position: { X: 301, Y: 30 }, target: ".cols-sample-area", width:300, height:500 });
$("#Dialog2").ejDialog({ position: { X: 633, Y: 30 }, target: ".cols-sample-area", width:300, height:500 });
$("#Dialog3").ejDialog({ position: { X: 954, Y: 30 }, target: ".cols-sample-area", width:300, height:500 });
$("#Grid1").ejGrid({

var dialogObj1 = $("#Dialog2").ejDialog("instance");

$('#exportOutput').html("" + JSON.stringify(dialogObj.model.position) + "" + JSON.stringify(dialogObj1.model.position) + "" + JSON.stringify(dialogObj2.model.position));
}
}
- In client-side external button click event we can get the positions of the dialog using ejDialog model and paste it in the text area.
<script type="text/javascript">
function exportButtonClickEvent (args) {
var dialogObj = $("#Dialog1").ejDialog("instance");
var dialogObj1 = $("#Dialog2").ejDialog("instance");
var dialogObj2 = $("#Dialog3").ejDialog("instance");
$('#exportOutput').html("" + JSON.stringify(dialogObj.model.position) + "" + JSON.stringify(dialogObj1.model.position) + "" + JSON.stringify(dialogObj2.model.position));
}
</script>
Result:
