I'm currently going through a very painful process of upgrading from v2.1.0 to 2.4.1 and better documentation would make my work easier and reduce the amount of support requests I (or others) need to make.
For example, it appears that there is a subtle change to the use of EditModel within the ColumnModel. My code currently sets the
clicksToEdit property on a column by column basis but I don't believe this functionality is supported any longer in v.2.4.1. It seems that
clickToEdit is now only supported in the global
editModel.
I checked the forum to see if I could find a note on this change in functionality but could not. At first, I thought it might be a bug in the paramgrid code so I'd thought I'd check the documentation before posting to the forum.
The documentation for the column model editModel (
http://paramquery.com/pro/api#option-column-editModel)
says:
"it overrides the global editModel properties"leading one to think that any of the editModel properties can be modified.
However, on inspection of the main editModel help
http://paramquery.com/pro/api#option-editModelThere is a small paragraph near the end of the main block under the
invalidClass section that says
"Note that editModel options filterKeys, keyUpDown & saveKey can be overridden in the individual columns (column.editModel)"This badly placed paragraph is not clear enough. I spent a lot of time trying to work out why my code had just stopped working correctly when I did my upgrade.
Would you consider changing the documentation to a wiki so that members of the forum can edit and update the documentation to make it better for all. Naturally, changes would have to be moderated but I think this could really help.
Thanks in advance
