Access data of frozen columns

[CS]

I have some columns that are frozen by default, if I try something like $("#grid").data("kendoGrid") I only get the data of all the columns that are not frozen as it seems. How do I get access to the frozen columns?

Hello Stefan,

When frozen columns are used, the Grid data is separated into two tables. So the described problem can occur if you try to retrieve data values via DOM operations. A better option in this case would be to use the Grid API or the Grid DataSource API and retrieve data items as objects.

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/web/grid#methods-dataItem

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/framework/datasource#methods-get
(requires the id to be defined in dataSource > schema > model)

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/framework/datasource#methods-getByUid
(requires you to know the data-uid HTML attribute of the table row)

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/framework/datasource#methods-view

For example: 

1. Open the Grid Frozen Columns demo
http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/frozen-columns

2. Execute the following code in the browser's Javascript console:

var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid"); grid.dataItem(grid.tbody.children().eq(0))
