            mtype: 'POST',
            colNames: ['Type', 'Product', 'Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3'],
            colModel: [
                { name: 'parType', index: 'parType', width: 80, align: 'center', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false,
                    editrules: { required: true, number: true },
                    editoptions: {
                        dataEvents: [{
                            type: 'keyup',
                            fn: function (e) {
                                if (this.value.match(/\D/)) this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g, '');

                        dataUrl: '@Url.Content("~/")' + 'Something/List/',
                        buildSelect: function (data) {
                            var response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
                            var s = '<select>';
                            if (response && response.length) {
                                for (var i = 0, l = response.length; i < l; i++) {
                                    var ri = response[i];
                                    s += '<option value="' + ri.Value + '">' + ri.Text + '</option>';
                                }
                            }
                            return s + "</select>";
                        }
                    }
                },
                { name: 'parValue1', index: 'parValue1', width: 80, align: 'right', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false,
                    editrules: { required: true, number: true },
                    editoptions: {
                        dataEvents: [{
                            type: 'keyup',
                            fn: function (e) {
                                if (this.value.match(/\D/)) this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g, '');
                            }
                        }]
                    }
                },
                { name: 'parValue2', index: 'parValue2', width: 80, align: 'right', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false,
                    editrules: { required: true, number: true },
                    editoptions: {

                            type: 'keyup',
                            fn: function (e) {
                                if (this.value.match(/\D/)) this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g, '');
                            }
                        }]
                    }
                },
                { name: 'parValue3', index: "parValue3", width: 80, align: 'right', editable: true,
                    editrules: { required: true },
                    editoptions: {
                        dataEvents: [{
                            type: 'blur',
                            fn: function (e) {
                                onBlurDecimal(this.id);
                            }
                        }]
                    }
                }],
            rowNum: 10,
            rowList: [10, 20, 30],
            pager: jQuery('#pager'),
            sortname: '',
            viewrecords: true,
            sortorder: "asc",
            caption: "Title",
            height: 250,
            width: 700
        });

        jQuery("#grid").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager',
            { edit: false, add: true, del: true, search: false }, //options
            {url: '@Url.Content("~/")' + 'Something/Add', closeAfterAdd: true, width: 500 },     // add options
            {} // search options
        );


@Html.ValidationSummary(False)
  @Using Html.BeginForm()
   <table>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            @Html.Label("ID_CONTRATANTE", "Contratante:")
                            @Html.DropDownListFor(Function(Model) Model.ID_CONTRATANTE, Nothing, New With {.style = "width:300px; visibility:visible", .class = "letraingreso"})
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
End Using

Controller

Function Add(ByVal parType As Long, ByVal parProduct As Long, ByVal parValue1 As Long, ByVal parValue2 As Long, ByVal parValue3 As String) As ActionResult
        Try
            Dim varE As General1Entities = New General1Entities
            Dim parIDContratante = Request.Form("ID_CONTRATANTE")

            Dim var1 = New OBJECT With { _
                .ID_TYPE = parProduct,
                .ID_CONTRATANTE = parIDContratante,
                .CODE = parType,
                .VALUE1 = parValue1,
                .VALUE2 = parValue2,
                .VALUE3 = parValue3
            }

            varE.AddToOBJECTS(var1)
            varE.SaveChanges()

            Return Json(True)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return Json(False)
        End Try
    End Function

As you can see, I need to get DDL value from main view (ID_CONTRATANTE) and put it into parIDContratante. Obviously the value return Nothing because the add window of jqgrid it's open. How can I send from parent view to add view window this value?

Regards.

Answer 1

Ok.... After looking for solutions I get it.

View (replace the old navGrid)

jQuery("#grid").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager', {
            edit: false, add: true, del: true, search: false, refresh: false
        }, // general options
        {
        }, // options edit
        {
            url: '@Url.Content("~/")' + 'Something/WorkWith',
            closeOnEscape: true,
            closeAfterAdd: true,
            width: 500,
            modal: true,
            addCaption: 'Nueva Tarifa',
            reloadAfterSubmit: true,
            beforeShowForm: function (frm) { $('#ID_CONTRATANTE').val(); },
            //bottominfo: "Fields marked with (*) are required",
            drag: true,
            onclickSubmit: function (params) {
                var ajaxData = {};
                ajaxData = { parIDContratante: $("#ID_CONTRATANTE").val() };
                return ajaxData;
            }
        }, // options add
        {
            url: "/Something/WorkWith"
        }, // opciones para el dialogo de borrado
        {
        } // options search
        );

Controller (replace old controller) Function WorkWith(ByVal parFormCollection As FormCollection) As ActionResult Try Dim varE As General1Entities = New General1Entities

            Dim operation = parFormCollection("oper")
            If operation.Equals("add") Then
             Dim var1 = New OBJECT With { _
              .ID_TYPE = parFormCollection.Get("parProduct").ToString,
              **.ID_CONTRATANTE = parFormCollection.Get("parIDContratante").ToString,**
              .etc.....
             }
           varE.AddToOBJECTS(var1)
           varE.SaveChanges()

            ElseIf operation.Equals("edit") Then

            ElseIf operation.Equals("del") Then

            End If

            Return Json(True)
        Catch ex As Exception
            ' Do some error logging stuff, handle exception, etc.
            Return Json(False)
        End Try
    End Function

I hope this helps some else. Bye.
