jqGrid custom recordtext and using loadComplete to get records count

Question

I am trying to change the recordtext of a display grid to a custom format. I am using a treeview as the selector that refreshes the display grid. I need to find the total records for the grid and I am able to get this value using the getGridParam records method when I click on the treeview node and load the display grid.

However, after I get this value and try to create the custom recordtext, the record count is the previous value, not the current records count. I know that the gridComplete happens before the loadComplete, but even placing the get in the gridComplete and the set int he loadComplete, it still doesn't work, even with a reloadGrid trigger. If I click on the treeview node twice, I get the correct value.

I am thinking it is a timing issue as to when the new value is ready to set the recordtext. Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

I recommend you to try updatepager method, which updates the information on the pager. Alternatively you can do for example the following:

loadComplete: function () {
    var p = $(this).jqGrid("getGridParam");
    p.records = 123;
    p.recordtext = "My View {0} - {1} of <i>{2}<i>";
    this.updatepager();
}

to see the viewrecords
