Grid Column Menu Unstick Message is Null

In our UI for ASP.NET Core R3 2020 (2020.3.915) release, the Column menu message of unsticking a column is "null".

This bug will be resolved in our next official release.

In the meantime, as a workaround, manually set the Unstick Column menu message:

.ColumnMenu(c => c.Messages(m => m.Unstick("Unstick Column")))

Multiselect in grid without CTRL

Hi all,

Going nuts over this problem. Should be simple, and for other technologies telerik shows solutions, but can not get it to work for razor pages .net core.

What i want is:

I have a grid that opens in a popup when editting. In the editortemplate i have a childgrid showing all possible children that can be added to this record. That is working. However, i want to multiselect in this grid without having my customers to hold down ctrl or use a textbox. Main reason: When using a textbox, you really have to click in the textbox, clicking outsisde of it won't work. So i removed the select column (the checkboxes) and just want people to click somewhere on a row to select it and be able to click on another row without the fiorst one loosing it's selected status. The only hook i can find is the onchange event. This indeed allows me to catch the slection process. However, the previously selected items are not available any more, so i oose them.

Anyone an idea how to do this quite simple trick?

Grid Complex Model (Create/update model is empty)

Hello,

create/update posts an empty model to the controller.

It was working in a very old asp.net mvc project. I setup a new asp.net core project. I spent some hours to fix this, but no luck.

Reading the data source is ok and the data is shown in column 'valuestream'. At the moment for 'Agenda' two values are shown, editable with a mutiselect.

Controller:

public ActionResult ManagerQuestionnaireCreate([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, QuestionnaireViewModel rs)
{

....

return Json(new[] { rs }.ToDataSourceResult(request, ModelState));
}

Model:

GridToolBarCommandFactory Grid Name

Prior to the most recent version we could use reflection to get the grid name in this method.

We have changed it to pass the grid name, but was wondering if there is a programmatic way of getting the grid name without passing it

public static GridToolBarCommandFactory<T> SuperSearch<T>(this GridToolBarCommandFactory<T> builder, string gridName, string title = "Super Search...") where T : class
{
builder.Spacer();
builder.Custom().ClientTemplate($"<span class=\"k-input k-input-md k-rounded-md k-input-solid\" style=\"width: 400px;\"><input id=\"superSearch\" name=\"superSearch\" oninput=\"window.top.superSearch('{gridName}')\" class=\"k-input-inner\" autocomplete=\"off\" placeholder=\"{title}\"/></span>");

return builder;
}

Values clearing from multiselect UI, but still sent to controller in a custom grid edit

I have a grid with custom editors and they are bound to the grid as such.

columns.Bound(x => x.Parent).EditorTemplateName("ParentEditor").ClientTemplate("#= Parent === undefined || Parent === null ? '' : parentTemplate(Parent)#");
columns.Bound(x => x.Child).EditorTemplateName("ChildEditor").ClientTemplate("#= Child === undefined || Child === null ? '' : childTemplate(Child)#");

The two editor templates look like this:

@model List<ParentViewModel>  
@(Html.Kendo()  
     .MultiSelectFor(m => m)  
     .DataTextField("Name")  
     .DataValueField("Id")  
     .Placeholder("Select one or more parents")  
     .AutoBind(true)  
     .TagMode(MultiSelectTagMode.Multiple)   
     .DataSource(source =>  
     {  
         source  
         .Read(read =>  
         {  
             read.Action("GetParent", "Lookup");  
         });  
     })  
     .Events(events => events.Change("onParentChange"))  
)  


@model List<ChildViewModel>
@(Html.Kendo()
      .MultiSelectFor(m => m)
      .DataTextField("Name")
      .DataValueField("Id")
      .Placeholder("Select one or more children")
      .AutoBind(true)
      .TagMode(MultiSelectTagMode.Multiple)
      .DataSource(source =>
      {
          source
          .Read(read =>
          {
              read.Action("GetChild", "Lookup").Data("getCurrentParents");
          })
          ;
      })
)

The UI is properly populating when the grid loads and looks like this:

Coumn Parent|Column Child
A |A1
B |B1, B2

When the user edits the row and removes item B from Column Parent, this code is invoked (which I got from Kendo UI Snippet | Kendo UI Dojo)

function onParentChange(e) {
    var selectedonParentChange = this.value();
    let dataItems = e.sender.dataItems();

	var multiSelect = $("#Child").data("kendoMultiSelect");
	var value = multiSelect.value();
	multiSelect.dataSource.filter(getFilterObj(dataItems));
	multiSelect.dataSource.filter({});  // Adding or removing has no effect
    multiSelect.refresh();
	multiSelect.value(value);
	console.log("Second value: " + multiSelect.value());
    var dataSource = multiSelect.dataSource;
    dataSource.read();
}

function getFilterObj(dataItems){
  let filtObj = {
    logic: "or",
    filters: [],
  };

  if(dataItems.length > 0){
    for (var i = 0; i < dataItems.length; i++) {
      filtObj.filters.push({
        field: "ParentId",
        operator: "eq",
        value: dataItems[i].Id
      });
    }
  } else {
    filtObj.filters.push({
        field: "ParentId",
        operator: "eq",
        value: ""
      });
  }

  return filtObj;
}

After the code runs, the UI looks like this:
Coumn Parent|Column Child
A |A1

So far so good. The problem is that when the user hits save this ends up on the Network in the form data:

Parent[0].Id: ParentIdA
Parent[0].Name: A
Child[0].Id: ChildId1
Child[0].Name: A1
Child[0].ParentId: ParentIdA
Child[1].Id: ChildId2
Child[1].Name: B1
Child[1].ParentId: ParentIdB
Child[2].Id: ChildId3
Child[2].Name: B2
Child[2].ParentId: ParentIdB

Although B1 and B2 no longer display in the UI, they are still being sent to the controller when the item is saved. I'm not sure how to prevent them from being sent when they are no longer in the UI.

Help with customizing grid's filter menus

I'm currently redesigning the filter menus in our MVC ASP.NET Core project. As of now, they all have the default menu:

I would like to customise the menus according to the columns' data types - have date range pickers for dates, a slider from min to max value for numbers, etc. The main point is to make the process simpler - so the users only need to input a few characters/choose a date/slide to the right number, instead of filling out this complicated configuration.

Some of such components are provided by kendo (e.g. DateRangePicker), others aren't (e.g. the above-mentioned slider; at least I didn't find anything like it), but could be implemented with a custom function. Either way, I can't seem to be able to override the default filter menu.

The only promising suggesstion on how to achieve something like this that I found was:

grid.Columns(c => c.Bound(item.Name)
       .Filterable(ftb => ftb.UI("datePickerFilter"))

function datePickerFilter(element) {
    element.kendoDateRangePicker({
        messages: {
            startLabel: "Check-In",
            endLabel: "Check-Out"
        },
        format: "MM/dd/yyyy"
    });
}

Unfortunately, it did not work. So any help, advice or personal experience with a similar issue will be very much appreciated :) Thanks.

Aspnet Core Grid is not loading when using Filterable configuration with dynamic columns

I am getting loading error when using aspnet Core grid with dynamic columns and Filterable option. The grid is loading fine when the Filterable option is not configured. Also, events are not working properly. I am using 2024.4.1112 version.

Here is sample code

@(
Html.Kendo().Grid<dynamic>()
.Name(Model.GridId)
.Columns(columns =>
{
foreach (var col in Model.Columns)
{
var kendoColumn = columns.Bound(col.PropertyName);
kendoColumn.Title(col.Title);
kendoColumn.Width(col.Width);
kendoColumn.Filterable(col.Filterable);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(col.Format))
{
kendoColumn.Format(col.Format);
}
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(col.Template))
{
kendoColumn.ClientTemplate(col.Template);
}
if (col.DataType == "boolean")
{
kendoColumn.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center" });
}
}
})
.Pageable(p =>
{
p.ButtonCount(10);
p.PageSizes(true);
p.Refresh(true);
})
.Filterable(f => f.Mode(GridFilterMode.Menu))
.Sortable()
.ColumnMenu(c =>c.Filterable(true))
.Reorderable(r => r.Columns(true))
.Resizable(r => r.Columns(true))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Read(read => read.Action("Entity", "History", new { entityName = Model.EntityName, pkValue = Model.PrimaryKeyValue, entityType = Model.EntityType, pkName = Model.PrimaryKeyName }))
)
.Events(e => e.Change("ob-select"))
)
