How to find the parent grid in a opened Kendo window

[york]

Hi,

I have a Kendo grid in which a Kendo window is opened when you click on each row. The code is:

        <% Html.Kendo().Grid<EvaluationsQuestionsEvaluationVersionGridViewModel>(Model.VersionsGridModel)
            .Name("Versions")

......
            .Columns(columns =>
            {
                columns.Bound(s => s.VersionId)
                    .Width(180);
                columns.Bound(s => s.OrganizationTypeName)
                    .Width(180);

......          columns.Command(commands =>
                {
                       commands.Custom("Copy").Click("copyEvaluationVersion");
                       commands.Edit();
                })

        <% Html.Kendo().Window()
            .Name("CopyVersion")
            .Title()
            .Content(() =>
                { %>

......                  <input type="submit" value="Submit"  />
                       <input type="hidden" id="copyEvaluationVersionId" name="copyEvaluationVersionId" value="<%= ViewData["evaluationVersionId"] %>" />
                    <% } %>
                <%})
            .Draggable(true)
......

        $("#CopyEvaluationSubmit").click(function (e) {
            var yearCombo = $("#copyToYear").data('kendoDropDownList');
            SetRingCookie('ck_year', yearCombo.text(), { path: '/' });
            return true;
        });
        
        function copyEvaluationVersion(e) {
            $("#CopyVersion").data("kendoWindow").open();
            $("#copyToYear").data('kendoDropDownList').read();
        }

I want to know how to find the parent grid Name("Versions") in $("#CopyEvaluationSubmit").click(function (e), which is invoked when submit button is clicked in Kendo window.  Thanks.

Hi york,

Please check out how to reference an existing Grid instance in the Kendo UI documentation here and here.

var grid = $("#Versions").data("kendoGrid");

I hope this helps, but if I am missing something, please describe the desired behavior of the submit button in the Kendo Window, and what prevents you from using the approach shown above.
