DevExpress MVC GridView - How to get cell click event

Question

Using DevExpress\'s GridView, I would like to trigger a (clientside) event when a cell is selected (or simply clicked on).

There already is a way to get the click ev

Answer 1

It is possible to attach the required client-side handler for an individual DataCell by handling the GridViewSettings.HtmlDataCellPrepared event:

function OnCellClick(visibleIndex, fieldName) {
    alert(visibleIndex + " " + fieldName);
}


@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    ...
    settings.HtmlDataCellPrepared = (sender, e) => {
        e.Cell.Attributes.Add(
            "onclick",
            string.Format("OnCellClick('{0}', '{1}');", e.VisibleIndex, e.DataColumn.FieldName)
        );
    };

}).Bind(Model).GetHtml()
