Hi,
I have two controls(datepicker and dropdown) outside of the Kendo Grid, I want to send the selected values of those two controls to the controller along with the Grid values on click of save changes of the Kendo Grid.
Could you please help me how to pass those values along with Create or Update Action of Kendo Grid, or If I can bind those values creating hidden columns in the grid, as these values would be required in all the rows while updating.
Below is my view :
@{
ViewBag.Title = Project.Web_v5.Framework.PageTitleHelper.GetPageTitle("PigPriceEdit", Request.Url.AbsolutePath);
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout_v2.cshtml";
var sess = new aplCustomerPortal.SessionManagement();
}
<style>
#grid .k-grid-header, .k-grid-header .k-header {
color: palevioletred;
font-size: large;
}
#inputvaluesbox {
height: 25px;
width:70%;
margin:0;
}
.k-edit-cell input {
width: 100%;
}
</style>
@section Scripts
{
<script type="text/javascript">
function error_handler(e) {
if (e.errors) {
var message = "Errors:\n";
$.each(e.errors, function (key, value) {
if ('errors' in value) {
$.each(value.errors, function () {
message += this + "\n";
});
}
});
alert(message);
}
}
function showEdit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
window.location.href = '@Url.Action("PigPriceEdit", "MarketingPigPrice")' + '?pModelId=' + dataItem.id + '&pContactId=@ViewBag.ContactId';
}
$(function () {
kendo.culture("en-AU");
});
$("#bEdit").click(function () {
window.location.href = '@Url.Action("PigPriceEdit", "MarketingPigPrice")' + '&pContactId=@ViewBag.ContactId';

Hello!
I have a problem with filters in my scheduler: as shown in your base example,
I use a first filter applied on a member field called LabelTypeID (the same as OnwerID in your example).
My Model has a second (int ?) member called LabelID
In some case I have to filter only the LabelID (to select a single label, associated to the Calendar Event)
So, in my template I added a second resource for the LabelID, where the binding returns all possible labels:
.Resources(resource => { resource.Add(m => m.LabelTypeID) .DataTextField("Text") .DataValueField("Value") .DataColorField("Color") .BindTo((new ACSDoorSignage.BIZ.LabelTypeBiz()).GetAllLabelTypesAsRazorArray(false)); resource.Add(m => m.LabelID) .DataTextField("Text") .DataValueField("Value") .BindTo((new ACSDoorSignage.BIZ.LabelBiz()).GetLabelsAsRazorArray(false)); })This is the filter that I try to use, where labelValue is one of the value returned in the binding (eg 1)
if (labelValue != -1) { var filter = { logic: "or", filters: new Array() }; filter.filters.push( { operator: "eq", field: "LabelID", value: labelValue }); } var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler"); scheduler.dataSource.filter(filter);
The filter Always fails and I see on the browser:
Uncaught TypeError: (d.LabelID || "").toLowerCase is not a function
Can you help me to unserstand what happened?
If I'd like to apply a filter, MUST I Always define a resource for that filter?
So I need to see just the events with a specific Title, ID or Employee . . . . .
I searched and I found this way to implement the filter in the razor code on the scheduler directly .... but it will show me the filtered events all the time.
So I need to do this dynamically ... with Multi-Select Options...
This is my MultiSelect :
@(Html.Kendo().MultiSelect() .Name("events_MultiSelect") .Placeholder("Filter . . .") .ValuePrimitive(true) .DataTextField("Title") .DataValueField("Title") .Events(eventt =>{ eventt.Open("openMultiSelect"); eventt.Change("changeMultiSelect"); }) .DataSource(source =>{ source.Custom() .Type("aspnetmvc-ajax") .Transport(transport =>{ transport.Read("GetEvents", "Filter"); }) .Schema(schema =>{ schema.Data("Data") .Total("Total") .Errors("Errors"); }); }) )
Hey,
So i have a very simple form 2 controls on it,
1 DropdownList
1 DropDownTree
<div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> @Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(a => a.BranchId).OptionLabel("Select Branch").DataTextField("Text").DataValueField("Value").BindTo(Model.BranchList).HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "ff_required ff_control", @required = "required" }) </div> <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> <label class="ff_label">Select a parent category (optional) <span class="ParentCategoryTip"><img src="~/Images/icons/help.png" /></span></label> </div> <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> @(Html.Kendo().DropDownTreeFor(a => a.ParentCategoryId) .DataTextField("Name") .DataValueField("id") .Placeholder("Select Category") .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%" }) .Events(events => events .Change("DropdownTreeChange")) )
By default when the page loads i do not want to DropdownTree to bind to anything, it must be blank. Only once a selection is made from the BranchId DropDownList then i want the DropDownTree to be populated by passing the BranchId to the action method.
Here is what i have so far
$("#BranchId").on("change", function () { var tree = $("#ParentCategoryId").data("kendoDropDownTree"); var val = tree.value(); tree.refresh({ url: "/Setting/GetCategorylist", data: { Id: val, BranchId: $("#BranchId").val() } }); });
[HttpGet] //public async Task<ActionResult> GetCategorylist([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, int BranchId) public async Task<ActionResult> GetCategorylist(int? Id, int BranchId) { var Result = await new _GetCategoryTreeList(new FF_ErrorLogger()).GetIdAsync(null,BranchId); return Json(Result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); }
i cannot get the DropDownTree to rebind its data.

Hi
I am struggling to get a foreign key to display it's name in Kendo Grid. In my normal MVC views the name displays just fine.
I am using a code first approach in MVC with DBContext instead of using EDMX models.
Could someone please help me with this issue.
Help would be appreciated :)
Here is the Kendo Grid code for my view:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<ZerothApp.Models.ProvinceViewModel>() .Name("grid") .Columns(columns => { columns.Bound(p => p.ProvinceName).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Multi(true).Search(true)); columns.Bound(p => p.Country).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Multi(true).Search(true)); columns.Bound(p => p.CreatedBy); columns.Bound(p => p.DateCreated); columns.Bound(p => p.LastEditedBy); columns.Bound(p => p.DateLastEdited); columns.Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate("<a class='editProvince' href='" + Url.Action("Edit", "Province") + "/#=ProvinceIdentifier#'>Edit</a> | <a class='detailsProvince' href='" + Url.Action("Details", "Province") + "/#=ProvinceIdentifier#'>Details</a> | <a class='deleteProvince' href='" + Url.Action("Delete", "Province") + "/#=ProvinceIdentifier#'>Delete</a>").Title("Actions"); }) .Pageable() .Sortable() .Groupable() .Scrollable() .Filterable() .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:550px;" }) .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource .Ajax() .Sort(sort => sort.Add("ProvinceName").Ascending()) .PageSize(20) .Model(model => { model.Id(p => p.ProvinceIdentifier); model.Field(p => p.ProvinceIdentifier).Editable(false); model.Field(p => p.CountryID).DefaultValue(1); }) .Read(read => read.Action("GetProvinces", "Province")) ) )

I am using the tabstrip to create a step-wise type form where each tab has a different model and partial view.
The content of a tab is based on what was entered on a previous tab.
I am using LoadContentFrom to call a controller action to return the partial view and model.
This is working fine.
Problem Scenario:
If the user enters/saves data in tab 2, goes to tab 3 and enters/saves data and then goes back to tab 2 I have a controller action that removes the data saved in tab 3.
When they finish updating data in tab 2 and go to tab 3 the next time I don't want that stale content, I need to be able to call the controller action to return a new partial with a model.
Isn't there a way to say that a tab SHOULD NOT cache the content?
I want fresh content every time they go to the tab...and, of course, any events related to that new partial need to work.

Hi,
Clicking the following menu items causes postback. How do load the page but prevent postback?
@(Html.Kendo().Menu() .Name("Menu") .HtmlAttributes(new { style="width:100%" }) .Items(items => { items.Add().Text("People").Action("Index","Home"); items.Add().Text("Organization").Action("Organization","Home"); items.Add().Text("Committees").Action("Committee","Home"); }))I have a table, that I need to freeze the header.
Is there a option to freeze the header, without set Scrollable?
When I set the Scrollable, the header begin freeze. But, after this, when I group any column, the width of the rows change.
I have a common auto complete control that I use on two different pages. The AutoComplete control is populated with the same data set as a Kendo Grid on the page. Both pages have filters by which users can filter the data in the Kendo Grid (using built in Kendo Filter functionality). We don't want superfluous results to show up in the AutoComplete therefore we reset the AutoComplete dataset to match the newly filtered dataset of the Kendo Grid. To accomplish this we use the .setDataSource method of the AutoComplete control (see code below). The AutoComplete control works well within page A after the new data source is set. However, the AutoComplete does not work within Page B. When a user types in criteria into the AutoComplete in Page B the popup never shows, not even to say "NO DATA FOUND". No error is shown within the Browser Developer tools either. When I interrogate the control I see that the data set is in fact applied correctly. I see the correct number of items. In fact after typing in some value to the AutoComplete control on Page B when I interrogate the dataSource I see that the view property of the dataSource is populated with the correct filtered items (i.e. if I type in "asse" into the AutoComplete then I see only two items in the view with "Asset" in their name). However, the pop up still doesn't show up. When I interrogate the popup I see nothing in its view. It seems like the pop up is just lying dead in the water for Page B. I have tried many things to figure out why. Does anyone have a suggestion for something to look into?
//prepare Kendo Filters for Kendo Grid
var siteFilters = buildSiteMenuFilters(result.data);
//apply Kendo Filters to Kendo Grid
menuGridDataSource = $("#MenuGrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;
menuGridDataSource.filter(siteFilters);
//get filtered dataset from Kendo Grid
var allData = menuGridDataSource.data();
var query = new kendo.data.Query(allData);
//create variable to store filtered results
saveMenu = [];
//convert filtered dataset from Kendo Grid into an array of objects that match the AutoComplete control Instantiation
filteredList = query.filter(siteFilters).data;
filteredListLength = filteredList.length;
for (var i = 0; i < filteredListLength; i++) {
saveMenu.push({ Id: filteredList[i].Id, Name: filteredList[i].Name, LongName: filteredList [i].LongName, uid: filteredList[i].LongName })
}
//set the AutoComplete control data source to match the new filtered list
var menuSearchAutoComplete = $("#menuSearch").data("kendoAutoComplete");
menuSearchAutoComplete.setDataSource(removeHtmlTags(saveMenu));
