Hello!

We recommend you implement this functionality by adding event listeners via the addEventListener function. Please see the code sample below:

const addListeners = () => {
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("mybutton");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].addEventListener('change', eventHandlerFunction);
}
}

Also, you should add these event listeners every time your table is redrawn. To achieve this functionality, specify this in the Flexmonster React Component:

aftergriddraw={addListeners}

Please let us know if it works for you.

Best Regards,

Hello!

Thank you for your question. 

We recommend you to work with Flexmonster as a React Class Component. This approach will allow you to assign onchange functions for checkboxes and use this in the customizeCell method, as is shown below:

    customizeCellHandler = (cell, data) => {
        if (data.type !== "header" && data.measure.uniqueName === "ID") {
            cell.style["text-align"] = "center";
            cell.style["z-index"] = 2;
            cell.text = `<input type="checkbox" onchange="onChangeHandler()"></input>`;
        }
    }

Please see the attached example project, with this approach for realization. To run the project replace the placeholder in licenseKey property with your real key. 

Hope you will find this answer helpful.

Best Regards,
Maksym

Hi, 
Thanks for the reply but I have done entirely in functional components is there any other way to implement it in functional components ?

Hello!

Thank you for quick response

Please note that the recommended approach for using Flexmonster in React is a class component. Such an approach ensures that refs to Flexmonster API object will be always accessible from the client's code. The other components, which do not rely on Flexmonster directly, can remain functional.
