RichDataGrid question

[roykachouh]

I have got the richDataGrid component working perfectly...

The data grid contents consist of a string label and a select box. If i have 20 objects in a list that the datagrid displays and each object has a select item choice tied to it...

What is the best way to bind the select item to a managed bean?

Below is my code...i am trying to understand what I should put in the question mark section of the code...

<rich:panel>
 <h:form>
 <rich:dataGrid value="#{DataGridTest.testList}" var="test" columns="3" elements="30">
 <rich:panel>
 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <h:selectOneListbox size="1" value="????????" styleClass="mySelectOne">
 <f:selectItems value="#{DataGridTest.selectItemList}"/>
 </h:selectOneListbox>
 <h:outputText value="#{test.label}" />
 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:panel>
 </rich:dataGrid>
 <h:commandButton action="#{DataGridTest.test}" value="Submit"></h:commandButton>
 </h:form>
 </rich:panel>

Ok, I think I found a way to handle my problem...although it's not the way I would of liked...

It looks like I should bind the data grid component to an HtmlDataGrid property of my managed bean. Then inside my managed bean i can call HtmlDataGrid.getValue...this will return me a list of all the elements in the data grid. I can bind the select box choice to a property of the elements in the data grid...

it's much more simplier in general.

As you use:

<h:outputText value="#{test.label}" />

In the same manner you could use

<h:inputText value="#{test.label}" />

or

<h:select* value="#{test.label}" >
...

inside dataGrid
