parameterMap

I'm using batch-mode and server-side operations. it looks like you do some special things in the parameterMap function (behind the scenes) when the operation == "read" and filtering is applied. For example, when a filter is applied to a column, it seems you put the filtering parameters in a special format before sending to the server. Even though I'm using the MVC wrappers, I can still wire-up the parameterMap feature using JavaScript. I did this for ONLY the "destroy" operation (I want to send just the IDs and not the models), but then the "read" operation no longer works when filtering is applied, because my use of parameterMap overwrites what you are doing for "read".

Can I still use the parameterMap feature for only "destroy", and not interfere with what you do with "read" ? My desire is to send just the IDs and not the models when batch-saving deletes.

Custom chart tooltip color

I have a chart with many colors. The tooltip should appear as black or white depending on the background color of the chart's bar. The only option I can think of is handle this with the series.name. But nothing works.

This code does accurately put a white or a black piece of text onto the screen as a tooltip:

.Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip
.Visible(true)
.Template("# if ((series.name === 'foo') || (series.name === 'bah')) { return '<strong style=\"color: black\">bar</strong>'; } else { return '<strong style=\"color: white\">bar</strong>'; } #")
)

However, once I plug in #= series.name # #= value # instead of bar the function breaks down and it no longer works.

Next, I tried both SharedTemplate and Template as such (one at a time of course):

.Tooltip(tooltip =>
tooltip.Visible(true).Template("mytemplate")
tooltip.Visible(true).SharedTemplate("mytemplate")
)

<script id="mytemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
# if ((series.name === 'foo') || (series.name === 'bah')) { #
<strong style="color: black">bar</strong>
# } else { #
<strong style="color: white">bar</strong>
# } #
</script>

This didn't do anything and instead displayed a tooltip of "mytemplate".

Is this possible to do? If not is there any kind of work around?

Resources not displaying

hello, I have using the scheduler and when I inspect the control in the javascript console I can see that there is data in the resources.datasource object but for some reason the resources are not displaying in the Timeline. I'm just trying to load resources right now without events. Do I have to have events for the resources to load properly. In the old webforms scheduler you didn't need that. Also, once loaded how do I change them dynamically so that users can manipulate the timeline and look at specific combination of resources.

@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<Avianis.Models.Scheduler.AppointmentViewModel>()
.Name("scheduler")
.Date(new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day))
.Views(views =>
{
views.TimelineView(timeline => timeline.EventHeight(50));
views.TimelineWeekView(timeline => timeline.EventHeight(50));
views.TimelineMonthView(timeline => timeline.EventHeight(50));
})
.Resources(resource => resource.Add(m => m.ResourceID)
.Title("Aircraft")
.Name("Aircraft")
.DataTextField("Name")
.DataValueField("ID")
.DataSource(source => source
.Read("GetResources", "Calendar"))
)
.DataSource(d => d
.Model(m =>
{
m.Id(f => f.MeetingID);
m.Field(f => f.Title).DefaultValue("No title");
m.RecurrenceId(f => f.RecurrenceID);
m.Field(f => f.Title).DefaultValue("No title");
})
.Read("Aircraft_Read", "Calendar")
)
)

How to validate model on the server when Kendo grid is configured for ajax call?

I’m using MVC Kendo grid and few drop down lists as filters and search button. Grid is bound using Ajax. The filters are defined outside of the grid. When user clicks on the search button i am passing the selected filter values to action method as Model, do the search and return the result. This is working fine when user selects the filter.
However, One of the filter is required filter, so I have [Required] attribute on the model’s property. When user don’t select the required filter, it makes the GetData() action method as expected, I see ModelState is NOT valid as expected.
But here im not sure what should I return when Model is not valid,
Questions:
I have validation summary on the layout page, how do I show model error in ValidationSummary without clearing the grid?When action method returns error, I don’t want to clear the existing result in the Grid. The error should display on top of the page.

Note: For brevity purpose my sample below showing only one filter. Also I’m not worrying about client side validation.

Layout Page

<html>

<head>

@Styles.Render("~/Content/css")

@Styles.Render("~/Content/kendo/css")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/kendo")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")

</head>

<body>

<div class="container body-content">

@Html.ValidationSummary()

@RenderBody()

<footer></footer>

</div>

@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

</body>

</html>

Index Page

            }

            <h2>Index</h2>

            <div>

                <br />

                @Html.ListBoxFor(x => x.SelectedIDs, new MultiSelectList(Model.States, "ID", "Name"))

                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.SelectedIDs)

            </div>

How to implement a header template

I'm looking to make a custom header for my grid. In the end, I want it to have the title, sorting arrows, and a custom filter image button that bypasses the built-in filtering of the grid.
To start off though, how do I get it to display the title?

01.Html.Kendo().Grid<dynamic>()

02. .Name("grid")

03. .Filterable(filter => filter.Enabled(false))

04. .DataSource(ds => ds.Ajax().Read(read => read.Action("action", "controller")))

05. .Columns(columns =>

06. {

07. columns.Bound("field")

08. .Title("title")

09. .Sortable(true)

10. .HeaderTemplate("???");

11. });

Selection over a PanelBar

Hi All

I'm trying to start using my license, but I'm doing something wrong for sure.

I copy to my page of a project that is working, the following script from a new project create thru template Telerik \Web\c# ASP.NET MVC Application, from Index.cshtml. (@(Html.Kendo().PanelBar()..."

But I don't have any change, I move the mouse over the bar, and I saw the new bar, but nothing happen when I click over that position.

I suppose is missing some bundles, but I don't know what js is missing.

In the new project everything works well, but not in my.

Any clue what I must do?

Using a DisplayTemplate

Hi everyone,

I have a grid in batch edit mode. When a cell gets in edit-mode it uses (if specified) its EditorTemplate. My question now is, if I am also able to somehow use a DisplayTemplate for the time the cells are in display-mode?

I have a property with an UIHint on the template I wanna use. The problem is, he only uses the EditorTemplate in edit-mode, but not the DisplayTemplate in display-mode. Is there any possibility of doing this? I know that I can use the .ClientTemplate property on the columns. But I wanna use intellisense, and I need to implement a hole bunch of JavaScript-Methods.

Hope there is a way and someone can show it to me :)

The funny thing is: when the grid is loaded he calls the DisplayTemplate once (actually the grid needs it! Without a DisplayTemplate with the same name as the EditorTemplate nothing works!)

best regards, Mathias

MVC Grid not accessible after AJAX HTML response added to DOM

Hi,

I am using the ASP.NET MVC Grid control on a page. The functionality is to fire a AJAX query when a Grid row is selected. The AJAX query calls the MVC Controller and gets a response HTML.

The response HTML is a Tab Strip with 4 tabs , all of them are empty except for one which shows a hierarchy (built using <ul> and <li> tags).

Scenario,

When Grid loads, it gets the data from one of the MVC controllers
When a row is selected, the "onChange" event fires and a AJAX call pulls the HTML response with the Tabstrip
Once the AJAX response comes back, it is added to the DOM using $('#DrillDown').html(data)

Issue

Once the AJAX response is added to the DOM, the GriD is no longer accessible. None of the rows are selectable anymore, the below line returns null

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

Any help appreciated.

MultiSelectFor - javascript error when deleting selected item

Hi there,

I am using the MultiSelectFor control bound to a model property in a MVC 5 razor webpage. I am able to select multiple items and create data in our backend system - however, I am running into a few problems when editing this data.

Model property:

[DataType("MultiSelect")]

[Required]

public List<string> Teams { get; set; }

Editor Template:

@model IList<string>

@Html.Kendo().MultiSelectFor(m => m)

.DataTextField("Text")

.DataValueField("Value")

.Filter("contains")

.AutoClose(false)

.Placeholder("Please Select")
