apply theme for asp.net mvc grid

[Ziming]

Hi there,

There seems no "Theme" property for me to change the style of the grid, I couldn't find in anywhere but in your demo there is a dropdown to choose to see different themes, am I missing anything?

here is my code:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.Customers)
        .Name("GridCustomers")

        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(p => p.ID).Title("ID");
            columns.Bound(p => p.Name).Title("Name").Width(130);
            columns.Bound(p => p.Telephone).Title("Telephone").Width(130);
            columns.Bound(p => p.Extension).Title("Extension").Width(130);
            columns.Bound(p => p.Group).Title("Group");
        })
        .Pageable()
        .Sortable()
        .Scrollable(scr => scr.Height(430))
        .Filterable()
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .PageSize(20)
            .ServerOperation(false)
         )
)

Thanks

docs
read #3
"~/Content/kendo/kendo.bootstrap.min.css" it is theme, replase it on other .css what you want ("styles" folder in the install directory)

Thank you vitaliy, that did the trick :)

Hi vitaliy,

I have a related question, what happen if I have a tabstrip control which requires a different style than grid? How do we set the theme on the control level rather than bundle the css globally.

Thanks in advance,
Ziming

Excuse me. I do not understand how I can set a different them to a Kendo grid widget. I searched the point #3 to read but I didn't understand what you mean

Hi Alberto,

Applying a different theme to a specific Kendo UI widget on the page is possible, but not supported or documented. The following forum post provides guidelines on how to achieve it.

Point 3 is not applicable to the Grid itself. However, it may be applicable to other Kendo UI widgets inside the Grid.
