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.

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!

How can I fix this, surely they are meant to be side by side, Ideally I would like to change the is true to labels also?

Hello Telerik support team,

I have an ASP.NET MVC project made in .NET Framework 4.6.2

It is using a local directory with files of version 2022.2.510 of Kendo UI. These are the contents of /lib/KENDOUIMVC/2022.2.510.545 of my project:

Kendo.Mvc.dll*  cs-CZ/            el-GR/   fr-FR/  pl-PL/  ru-RU/        tr-TR/
Kendo.Mvc.xml   da-DK/            es-ES/   he-IL/  pt-BR/  sk-SK/        uk-UA/
ar-AE/          de-DE/            export/  it-IT/  pt-PT/  spreadsheet/  zh-CN/
bg-BG/          distribution.xml  fr-CA/   nl-NL/  ro-RO/  sv-SE/

I want to make use of the DropDownButton component in this project, and I tried the example code from this page:

https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/dropdownbutton

I get this error however:

'WidgetFactory<InvoiceFilterViewModel>' does not contain a definition for 'DropDownButton' and no accessible extension method 'DropDownButton' accepting a first argument of type 'WidgetFactory<InvoiceFilterViewModel>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

So I believe the DropDownButton is not available yet in the version of Kendo that I am using.

My questions;

1. Is it possible to upgrade my version of Kendo in the same way as have already? I tried looking in the downloads section, but I don't see the bundle of files I need. The source code bundles contain many different files. If this is not possible, can you then please tell me the alternatives?

2. Is it possible to see which versions a component is supported for on the Telerik documentation website?

I already applied an alternative using the DropDownList, but this does not really satisfy the requirements as a DropDownButton would. Note that upgrading the .NET version of this project is (sadly) not a possibility for me at the moment.

And a little side note, it seems this link is broken when clicking on the red "Documentation" button:

Page with the button: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/dropdownbutton 

Broken link: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/documentation/getting-started 

Hi,

I'm using ASP.NET MVC  with Kendo UI v. 2024.2.514 and I'm running into a weird issue when exporting a grid to PDF.

When I trigger the export, the PDF output shows only the current page of the grid duplicated X number of times.

For example, if I'm on page 2 of a 10-page grid, instead of exporting all ten pages, the PDF contains page 2 repeated 10 times.

I'm enabling the PDF export like this:

.ToolBar(tools => tools.Pdf())
.Pdf(pdf => pdf.AllPages())

Has anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions on what I'm missing here?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am using Web app with mvc. We are using Deferred Script File to remediate CSP (content security policy). 

For that reason instead of Client Template i am using Client Template Handler for one of the column which is a dropdownlist.

Whenever Grid is loaded with data, I can see the selected dropdown values in the grid but when i try to update the dropdown value

its opening as a text box and showing value as [object object].

  columns.Bound(p => p.Studendetails).ClientTemplateHandler("getname") 

function getname(data) {
     return data.Studendetails ? data.Studendetails.Name : '';
 }
