I have a grid where I'm using the popup editor, and it's a custom template (.Editable(e => e.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).TemplateName("EIWOStatus")))

The popup is center screen, but I have some javascript that shows or hides certain controls based on what the user is entering. When all the controls are shown dynamically, the window is too low. I'd like to move it up, but the window itself doesn't seem to have an ID I can grab with jQuery in order to manipulate it.

How can I move the default starting position up so that as the controls get shown, it's never too low?

Media Player Disapears

We are using the media player to play audio

The control looks like this

However when the control looses focus it disappears and looks like this

How do we prevent this behaviour and keep the player controls shown at all times.

Prevent Keyboard Navigation to cell in Batch-Edit Grid

I have a batch edit grid in which my client would like to have keyboard navigation to tab between cells. The .Navigatable() method works great. Although, for certain cells given a certain condition, I need to have them be read-only. I am able to block the cell from being selected with the mouse onClick, but with Navigatable set to true, they are still able to tab into that cell. Based on my code below, is there a way to set the cell as Read-Only? Either with a Grid method or JavaScript?

Grid Code

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Project.Models.MetricData>()

.Name("grid") // template expression, to be evaluated in the master context

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(m => m.MetricLabel);

columns.Bound(m => m.Numerator);

columns.Bound(m => m.Denominator);

columns.Bound(m => m.Rate);

}).ToolBar(toolbar =>

{

toolbar.Save();

})

.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))

.Navigatable()

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.Batch(true)

.ServerOperation(false)

.Model(model =>

{

model.Id(m => m.MetricKey);

model.Field(m => m.MetricLabel).Editable(false);

})

.Read(read => read.Action("Binding_Metrics", "Controller"))

.Update("UpdateMetric", "Controller")

)

.Events(events => { events.DataBound("DataBound"); })

)

JavaScript

<script>

function DataBound() {

var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");

var gridData = grid.dataSource.view();

for (var i = 0; i < gridData.length; i++) {

//get the item uid

var currentUid = gridData[i].uid;

//if the record fits the custom condition find the row based on the uid and add the custom class

var currentRow = grid.table.find("tr[data-uid='" + currentUid + "']");

var disableCell = $(currentRow).find(':nth-child(4)');

$(disableCell).addClass("disabled"); //Greys out cell background

$(disableCell).click(function (e) {

e.preventDefault();

e.stopImmediatePropagation();

return false;

});

}

</script>

I have tried to do something like this

model.Field(m => m.Rate).Editable(@<text>function(){

if(#=numFormat# == 1){return false;}

else{return true;}

}</text>);

But the method is unable to accept a lambda expression.

Also I have tried using JavaScript to prevent this as well

$(disableCell).focus(function (e) {

e.preventDefault();

e.stopImmediatePropagation();

return false;

});

Grouping but without creating columns

I am not sure how to word this, so I'll describe what I would like to do and hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction.

I have a list of Top Sellers for a shop. These top sellers are categorized by department types (i.e. Fuel, Shop, etc.). When displayed in a bar chart without the grouping, the Fuel group rather skews the results on the chart as seen in the screenshot (topsellers.png). All bars are the same color and there is no legend.

What I would like to do is to is have the chart appear like the screenshot, but with the fuel group having its own color and the shop having its own color. The legend should appear at the top and clicking on the legend will hide/show the associated items in the chart. When I added the Group to the kendo bar chart, I got the colors and the legend, but the groups overlap in the chart creating two columns as shown in the second screenshot (topsellergroup.png) and the shop entries lost their descriptions. So I'd like the grouped items to show up in the chart along with their descriptive text (as in the first screenshot), but with the colors and legend of the second screenshot.

Here is my current chart code. I am setting the group to the DeptType value (i.e. Fuel, Shop) and the series based on the Quantity.

<div class="panel panel-default">

<div class="demo-section k-content wide">

@(Html.Kendo().Chart<CBECloudBO2.ViewModels.ChartTopSellers>()

.Name("chartTopSellers")

.Title("Top Sellers by Quantity")

.DataSource(datasource => datasource

.Read(read => read.Action("Chart_TopSellers", "Home"))

.Group(group => group.Add(model => model.DeptType))

.Sort(sort => sort.Add(model => model.Quantity).Descending())

)

.Legend(legend => legend.Visible(true).Position(ChartLegendPosition.Top))

.ChartArea(chartArea => chartArea

.Background("transparent"))

.Series(series =>

{

series.Bar(d => d.Quantity).Name("");

})

.CategoryAxis(axis => axis

.Categories(d => d.PLUDesc).Visible(true)

.Title("Product")

.MajorGridLines(lines => lines.Visible(false)))

.ValueAxis(axis => axis

.Numeric()

.Title("Quantity Total")

.Line(line => line.Visible(false))

.MajorGridLines(lines => lines.Visible(true)))

.Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip

.Visible(true)

.Template("#= category #: #= value #"))

)

</div>

Is it possible to group items, but not have the chart create the group columns next to each other? I tried adding the .CategoryField to the series and supplying the item description, but this only listed the fuel items and not the shop items.

Thank you for any help.

Regards,

Shawn

Display and allow only a single row

I'm using v 2017.1.118.440

There's a requirement to make the grid only allow a single row to be inserted. Upon loading, there should be a single blank row ready for the user to populate, and no "Add record" button.

I've disabled the Add record button from the toolbar, but I can't find the settings to have a single row already displaying in the grid and ready for populating. There doesn't seem to be an onLoad event for the grid to do this.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Kendo grid with date picker in rows update max valid

Hello,

I am having a kendo grid which is editable and the rows I am using the "DateTimeInGridEditor" template which has some settings as min and max values. This works as expected, however I want to change min max values as the values from the dates are changing, meaning that I want to have a timespan between them of x years or months. I looked through the documentation and I do not find a way of doing this. From what I have experienced will mean that I will have to change the editor and make it all the way using javascript but I do not know how I can do this. Is there a sample available?

Thanks in advance.

Add/Edit Flows - Need to submit/save form with input fields (belong to parent record) and more than 1 grid(all children to parent data) to server

Hi All,

I have used below mvc helpers + odata based grid sample to create grid with crud operation with odata 4, and able to get it working.

grid - based on mvc 5 with odata 4

I have to now take it to next level, where in i will have a form with few inputs fields(they all will belong to a parent record/row in parent table),

and same form will have multiple grids with crud(each grid saves to its own table on full form save, and each of these tables are children to parent table).

For this I was looking for such sample/directions using telerik mvc helper + odata, where in we can save complete form having grid as child record and few input fields as master/parent record and save them in one go when form is saved.

Until full form is saved, we shall still be able to save/edit/delete grid rows somewhere temporarily and then shall be able to related this temp data of grid to master details(inputs fields in form) during save.

Form is like this:

Form - here table 1 is parent table, and table 2 is child to it, related by parent id of parent

parent id - read only - autogenerated when full form is saved(i.e. parent is saved)
name - will save into table1
grid to save contacts - save all rows to table 2
save button - button to save full form broken into 2 tables - first parent data/fields into table 1, then grid rows in table 2 mapped with parent id

Tech used:

Asp.net mvc 5 - for UI

Web api 2.2 with Odata - for grids crud (we don't want grid to be directly bound to server model rather they will use transport and will make use of api url for crud)

Data layer - EF code first (can say any ef based layer to save entities to db when full form is saved)

Could anyone of you please help and share any link to such sample to save parent fields from form with at least 1 child gird in one go.

Using mvc helpers + web api (better if we can have with odata, otherwise without odata is also ok but web api is must to bind grids to)

References already gone through:

http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/submit-form-containing-grid-along-with-other-input-elements - doesn't fit as grid is bound to server sid emodel but we want to use web api url for grid's crud

Thank you.

Chart with stacked columns and single line

I'd like to create chart that shows stacked columns and single line on the same chart area. I can adjust model data as needed, but i couldn't get chart to show this. The other acceptable option is to show two stacked columns per category side by side.

Are this scenarios achievable using Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC?
