Adding template for the Create New button

[Nikhil]

Hello,

We are using Kendo grid to show records. We have a requirement of showing a textbox for a column when "Edit" button is clicked. This is working fine (in-built functionality provided by Kendo). However, when the "Create" button is clicked, the very same column needs to be replaced by an '<input type="file"....' so that the user is able to select a file from his machine. Any pointers on this will be really helpful.

Regards,
Nikhil

Hello Nikhil,

A separate editor template for new items is not supported but you could use the Grid edit event to add the input type file or show it. To determine whether update or create is performed, you can use the model isNew method.

Kind regards,

Thanks Daniel,

I had to implement my custom 'Create New record' functionality. Thanks for the quick response.
