Add toolbar.ClientTemplate without overriding previous toolbars

[Edward]

toolbar.ClientTemplat(string) seems to override all previous toolbar items.

So:

 

.ToolBar(toolbar => {
                        toolbar.Create(); /*toolbar.Save();*/
                        toolbar.Custom().Text("export").IconClass("k-icon k-i-table").HtmlAttributes(new { onclick = "approval_grid_export()" });

                        toolbar.ClientTemplate("etc");

                    })

seems to destroy the toolbar.Create() and toolbar.Custom().

Is there way to just add the ClientTemplate()?

Hi Edward,

When a template is used the grid ignores the rest of the toolbar configuration and simply displays the content of the custom template within the element of the toolbar.

Nevertheless, as a workaround I can suggest you to simply include the built in commands within the custom toolbar.

e.g.

toolbar.ClientTemplate(@"
<a class='k-button' onclick='customCommand()'>Button Here</a>
<a role='button' class='k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-excel' href='#'><span class='k-icon k-i-file-excel'></span>Export to Excel</a>
<a role='button' class='k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-pdf' href='#'><span class='k-icon k-i-file-pdf'></span>Export to PDF</a>
<a role='button' class='k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-add' href='#'><span class='k-icon k-i-plus'></span>Add new record</a>
<a role='button' class='k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-save-changes' href='#'><span class='k-icon k-i-check'></span>Save changes</a>
<a role='button' class='k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-cancel-changes' href='#'><span class='k-icon k-i-cancel'></span>Cancel changes</a>
"));

"it simply ignores..." Why did YOU( Telerik) build it like this? This behavior sucks.

Hi Serge, 

This is indeed a valid point. I have added a Feature Request on your behalf to expose such a configuration. Feel free to add anything I might have missed to the item. 

Until the item is implemented the approach to customize the Grid's ToolBar is still the one suggested in the answer to the initial question and as demonstrated in the Grid's ToolBar Template Demo.
