1. Is it hard to understand the version numbers of our releases? If yes, what makes them hard to understand them?

2. Would semantic versioning (SemVer) of our releases make it easier to understand our version numbers and what's behind them?

3. If we go with SemVer, we might need to start with version 3000.0.0 as we currently use 2022.x.x. Please share your thoughts about this approach and ideas for what number versioning would work best for you.

Hi,

My job is using the ANDI Accessibility Tool to test for accessibility and Section 508 compliance.

The tool keeps telling me that the, "Grid Element has no accessible name."  I have tried all of the suggestions listed in your online Grid Accessibility document.  However, I'm still getting the same message.

I also used the ANDI tool on your accessibility grid example and I received the same message.

Can someone assist me with this issue?

ANDI is a free Chrome Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/unofficial-andi/fehcidpnbiemiekbbgligjlgjbhjchon.

I am including the results from my application and from your online demo grid.

Thanks,

I had the code below in my dialog to show icons in the action buttons.  It worked on version 2023 R3.  After upgrading to 2025.1.227, all it shows is the code (<span>) text.

Code:

@(Html.Kendo().Dialog()
    .Name("LetterPreviewDialog")
    .Title("Letter Preview")
    .Closable(true)
    .Modal(true)
    .ButtonLayout("normal")
    .Visible(false)
    .Events(e=>e.Close("OnLetterPreviewClose"))
    .Actions(a =>
    {
        a.Add().Text("<span class='k-icon k-font-icon k-i-envelop'></span> Send Letter").Primary(true).Action("SendEmail");
        a.Add().Text("<span class='k-icon k-font-icon k-i-cancel'></span> Cancel").Action("CancelEmail");
    }))

Before:

After:

We have this Command:

columns.Command(c =>
{
    c.Custom("Delete").Text(" ").Click("onClick").IconClass("k-icon k-i-trash").HtmlAttributes(new { @title = Resource.DELETE });
})

And we have this function to set the grid state:

function loadOptions() {
    var options = sessionStorage["userTable-options"];
    
    if (options) {
        var grid = $('#userTable').data('kendoGrid');
        var toolBar = $("#userTable .k-grid-toolbar").html();  // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27717575/kendo-mvc-persist-and-load-grid-buttons

        var optionsJSON = JSON.parse(options);

        // https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-persist-customized-filter
        var StatusTranslated = optionsJSON.columns.filter(function (c) { return c.field === "StatusTranslated.Text"; })[0];

        StatusTranslated.filterable = {
            ui: $.proxy(filterDropDownField, { field: 'StatusTranslated' })
        };

        grid.setOptions(optionsJSON);
        $("#userTable .k-grid-toolbar").html(toolBar);
        $("#userTable .k-grid-toolbar").addClass("k-grid-top");
    }
}

Before setting the grid state the button executes successfully. After executing setOptions the button does not work anymore.

How do we combine the possibility to save/load the grid state, and the usage of custom buttons in the grid?

Kind regards.

How can I influence the drop down filters so that both start with the operator 'Contains' and the logic between them as 'or'. 

They should be able to change them after initial setting. i would like it to look like the enclosed image to start.

Hi,

I’m using the Kendo UI Grid with column menu filters. My requirement:

• Let the user pick a filter operator (e.g., contains, equals).

• Don’t apply a filter if the value is empty.

• Keep the operator visible every time the 3-dot menu opens, even after sorting.

What I’ve tried:

1. columnMenuInit → Works first time, but doesn’t fire again for the same column.

2. Popup open inside columnMenuInit → Fires once, but after sorting the grid, it doesn’t trigger again.

3. Delegated jQuery click handler → Works reliably, but feels like a hack.

Minimal repro (MVC wrapper):

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyModel>()
    .Name("Invoices")
    .Columns(c => {
        c.Bound(x => x.InvoiceNumber);
        c.Bound(x => x.CustomerName);
    })
    .Sortable()
    .Filterable(f => f.Extra(false))
    .ColumnMenu(m => m.Filterable(true))
    .Events(e => e.ColumnMenuInit("onColumnMenuInit"))
)

<script>
function onColumnMenuInit(e) {
    var popup = e.container.data("kendoPopup");
    if (popup) {
        popup.bind("open", function () {
            var ddl = e.container.find("select[title='Operator']").data("kendoDropDownList");
            if (ddl) ddl.value("contains"); // operator only, no value
            e.container.find("input[type=text]").val("");
        });
    }
}
</script>

Issue:

• The operator shows correctly the first time.

• After sorting and reopening the menu, the operator reset logic does not run.

Questions:

• Is there an official event I can use to run logic every time the column menu opens?

• What’s the recommended way to restore operator state when no filter value is applied?

Thanks!
