How to control when a gridboard is generated?

Question

I’m creating a list of features using a Rally.data.wsapi.TreeStoreBuilder and a rallygridboard to display the list.

I do however need to load additional data in the TreeStore, namely the predecessor and successor stores, in order to also display the content of these in the rallygridboard.

I can do this in the TreeStore load event, but when adding filters on the rallygridboard there is a problem with the order in which data is loaded and displayed.

So my question is, how do I do this?

• Can I “pause” any rallygridboard rendering/display until my decendents loads are performed in the TreeStore load event?
• Can I manually take control of the refresh of the rallygridboard, so that I need to fire a “render/display” event, when data is ready?

Thank you for all input.

Answer 1

Your best bet is to probably just refresh the gridboard when you know all of your subsequent stores have been loaded. Something like this?

gridBoard.getGridOrBoard().getView().refresh();

Treestores and the gridboard in general can be fairly clumsy to work with and customize unfortunately. There's just really a ton of complexity there.
