Free jqGrid 4.8.0 - restore grid toolbarfilter values

Question

I'm trying to restore the grid after doing GridUnload to it's previous state in terms of filter, sort, group etc'. I successfully achieved restoring all of those, but missing some visual aspects within the grid that are not part of the data i'm restoring, and as such I can't see them.

For example, I do restore the filter values (toolbarfilter), but I can't see the filters values in the toolbar. (they are there, as I can restore them using $("#gview_"+$grid.attr('id')+' #' + inputId).val(column.data), but I don't know how to make them re-appear without iterate manually over them.

Thanks,

Tal.

Eventually, I restored the toolbarfilter by doing the following:

1. I saved all the rules into a temporary varible (barFilter).
2. After grid restoration, I added a new function that gets the barFilter and extract the values into their places restoreToolbarFilter($('#'+gridName),barFilter);:

regexEscape = function(s) {
			return s.replace(/[-\/\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\$&');
};

function restoreToolbarFilter($grid,searchParams){
	
				
				for (key in searchParams) {
					// Restore the search input string
					var column = searchParams[key];
					
					inputId = regexEscape('gs_' + column.field);
				
					
					$("#gview_"+$grid.attr('id')+' #' + inputId).val(column.data);
					
					// Restore the search filter type and operator symbol
					operator = $("#gview_"+$grid.attr('id')+' #' + inputId).closest('tr').find('.soptclass');
					$(operator).attr('soper', column.op);
					operands = {  "eq":"==",
									"ne":"!",
									"lt":"<",
									"le":"<=",
									"gt":">",
									"ge":">=",
									"bw":"^",
									"bn":"!^",
									"in":"=",
									"ni":"!=",
									"ew":"|",
									"en":"!@",
									"cn":"~",
									"nc":"!~",
									"nu":"#",
									"nn":"!#" };
					$(operator).text(operands[column.op]);
				}
}
