In this tip, I'll help you to change in few second buttons of your CGridView. I hope you like it =).

In this article I'll try to explain how to use standard quick search fields in CGridView with customized columns.For example: We have a record in a database with field switch having 0 or 1 values. After that we want a user to see on or off instead 1 or 0. So we do the usual thing:

I recently had to have a checkbox column in my grid view that supported the 'disabled' attribute. This was easy enough to do by extending the CCheckBoxColumn. However, I also wanted the checkbox to be selected when clicking on the table's row (supported via CGridView's selectableRows option).

And this in one page, what allows you to select a record from the grid and view the values in the same page without jumping to a new page.
