Dirty Items

The dirty items can help you get changed data. Dirty items may be inserted rows, deleted rows, updated rows (rows with updated cells), or updated cells. This can be particularly useful when you need to capture any user changes without having to get the entire sheet.

The dirty concept is defined as: In general, only changing a cell value causes it to be dirty. If the cell is dirty, the current row is also dirty. If one row is inserted and a value is set in a cell, the row is considered an inserted row, not a dirty row. The cell is not considered a dirty cell. An item will not be considered dirty when loading bound data, but it will become dirty after changing the value of bound data. Items will keep their dirty status even after undo actions. You can get all dirty rows by calling the getDirtyRows method in the sheet. If there is existing bound data, users will get the row, item, and originalItem from dirty rows; otherwise, only the row with the value. You can get all dirty cells by calling the getDirtyCells method. Provide operational arguments in the following order if a specified range is given. row: The row index of the top-left cell in the range. col: The column index of the top-left cell in the range. rowCount: Total row count of the range. colCount: Total column count of the range. Each dirty cell provides this information: row, col, oldValue, newValue. You can get all deleted rows by calling the getDeletedRows method in the sheet. If there is existing bound data, users will get the row and originalItem from dirty rows; otherwise, only the row with the value. You can get all inserted rows by calling the getInsertRows method in the sheet. Each inserted row provides information about the row and item (data). Dirty, inserted, and deleted status can be cleared by clearPendingChanges. They will be automatically cleared after calling setRowCount, setColumnCount, fromJSON, or setDataSource. You can also clear the dirty/inserted/deleted status by range. Provide optional object parameters in clearChangeInfo to specify the clearing operation. clearChangeInfo.row: [optional] The row index of clearing range. clearChangeInfo.col: [optional] The col index of clearing range. clearChangeInfo.rowCount: [optional] The row count of clearing range. clearChangeInfo.colCount: [optional] The col count of clearing range. clearChangeInfo.clearType: [optional] The type of clearing pending change, contains dirty/insert/delete, default is dirty. The value is a enum of GC.Spread.Sheets.ClearPendingChangeType.
