Bindings doesn't works in header template of kendo grid

[Alexander]

Hello,

I am using Kendo UI Web v2013.1.614 release with jQuery 1.9.1 and i have problems with header template in kendo grid.
Here is declaration of grid:

<div         data-role="grid"

 data-sortable="true"

 data-scrollable="false"

 data-sortable="{ allowUnsort: false }"
 data-pageable="{ info: false }"                


 data-bind="source: drivesSource"
 data-columns='[

    {"field": "selected", "title": " ", "width": "auto", "sortable":false,

       "template": "#=runTemplate(\"drive-select-template\", data)#",

       "headerAttributes": {style: "text-align: right"},

       "headerTemplate": "<input data-bind=\"checked: parent().parent().checkAll\" class=\"grid-checkbox\" type=\"checkbox\" title=\"@Localization.Tooltips.Select_all\" />"} .....                  

              

]'>
            </div>

                    
The first problem i faced was that all templates stuff like '#=runTemplate()#' and so on doesn't work in header template. In item template it works ok.
So i declared inline template for header but haven't succeeded in binding it to something.
I tried several context like parent(), parent().parent(), $root and some custom bindings but nothing worked, looks like this is bug.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hello Alexander,

By default the Grid's header will not be bound to the View-Model. In this forum thread you will find more information on the subject as well as a workaround.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for answer, I've already implemented some workaround without mvvm, but your solution is better.

Best regards,
