jqgrid link to modal dialog of another grid

I try to implement the link from one grid to the modal dialog of another grid. I made an example to illustrate this problem. If you choose in a context menu (right mouseclick) of each row of the picture grid, you will find some Act开发者_JAVA百科ions. One of them is "Go to scan info". Here I would like to have a link to modal dialog of grid "Scans" and modal dialog should put the user depending whether the scan record for the selected picture allready exist or not, to the Add/Edit modal dialog.

Does anybody already implemented something like that?

Let us we have two grids on one page: one with id="grid" and another with id="scan". Exactly like you call jQuery('#grid').jqGrid('editGridRow',id) on double-click on the first grid you can call jQuery('#scan').jqGrid('editGridRow',id) in the context menu "Go to scan info". The only thing which you have to know is to know the ids on the second grid. Before calling of jQuery('#scan').jqGrid('editGridRow',id) you can impelemt any additional logic (like testing whether "the scan record for the selected picture allready exist or not").

If I understand, you need insert another jqgrid into modal dialog. Did you try to insert jqgrid function into open event of jquery dialog?

You have to call jqgrid function on demand, not in document.ready statement in this case.

Imo this could work (not tested yet):

$( ".selector" ).dialog({
   open: function(event, ui) {

     $("#grid").jqGrid({ 
       ... all of options...
     });

   }
});
