I've racked my brain and done tons of research and testing and can't figure out what is going on.
I have a Dojo datagrid which is declared statically with some HTML. Using the GUI, my users will add items to the DataGrid, which works as it should. However, I'd like to have a function that is called at a certain point that uses Dojo's setQuery to filter the data that shows in the DataGrid. The problem is that once I run the setQuery command, ALL of the data in the grid disappears, no matter if it matches the query or not!
Here is some sample code:
var layoutItems = [[
{
field: "id",
name: "ID",
width: '5px',
hidden: true
},
{
field: "color",
name: "Color",
width: '80px'
}
]];
// Create an empty datastore //
var storeData = {
identifier: 'id',
label: 'id',
items: []
}
var store3 = new dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore( {data : storeData} );
...
<div id="grid" dojoType="dojox.grid.DataGrid" jsId="grid5" store="store3" structure="layoutItems" queryOptions="{deep:true}" query="{}" rowsPerPage="40"></div>
...
function filterGrid() {
dijit.byId("grid").setQuery({color:"Red"});
}
....
function addItemToGrid(formdata) {
var jsonobj = eval("(" + dojo.toJson(formData, true) + ")");
var myNewItem = {
id: transactionItemID,
color: jsonobj.color
};
// Insert the new item into the store:
store3.newItem(myNewItem);
store3.save({onComplete: savecomplete, onError: saveerror});
}
Managed to fix it by running the a grid FILTER instead of setQuery periodically in the background with the help of some jQuery (not sure if setQuery would have worked as well, I don't really know the difference between the filter and setQuery, but filter is doing what I need it to do).
Here is some sample code; hope this helps someone else having problems with this:

Here is another option that I came up with, so that the filter is not running unnecessarily every x milliseconds; this basically uses JavaScript to make a new setInterval which runs once after 500 milliseconds and then does a clearInterval so that it doesn't run again. Looks like just calling the filterTheDataGrids() function after adding an item won't do.. we have to delay for a split second and then call it:
