Here is the scenario:I have an ASP.Net MVC 4 application, using Kenod grids and toolbars from Telerik UI for ASP.Net MVC. There is a main grid with a Client Detail template defined. The template contains a toolbar, and each tab opens a Kendo grid which takes the primary key from the parent grid. All of these grids are editable, all but one opening a template view. It is the "all but one" where I am having issues that I hope you can help with.Here is the code for this one grid. Instead of being Editable, it has a custom Toolbar defined with a button:items.Add().Text("Linked Files").Content(obj =>
         Html.Kendo().Grid<MedSouth.Models.LinkedFilesModel>()
        .Name("LinkedFilesGrid#=PkPacketID#")
        .Sortable()
        .Scrollable()
        .Filterable()
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); }).Width(130);
            columns.Bound(e => e.PkLinkedFilesID).Width(130).Hidden(true);
            columns.Bound(e => e.FkPacketID).Width(130).Hidden(true);
            columns.Bound(e => e.FileName)
                .Width(100)
                .Title("Download File")
                .Sortable(false)
                .Filterable(false)
                //.ClientTemplate((@Html.ActionLink("Download File", "Download", "LinkedFiles", new { ID = "#=PkLinkedFilesID#" }, null).ToHtmlString()))
                ;
            columns.Bound(e => e.FileName).Width(130);
            columns.Bound(e => e.FileDescription).Width(175).Title("Description");
            //columns.Bound(e => e.FileURL).Width(300);
        })
        .ToolBar(tb =>
        {
            tb.Template(@<text>
                        <div >
                            <a class="k-button" href="\\#" onclick="return toolbar_click()">Add File</a>
                        </div>
                    </text>);
        })
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Ajax()
                .PageSize(5)
                .Model(model => model.Id(e => e.PkLinkedFilesID))
                    .Read(read => read.Action("LinkedFiles_Read", "LinkedFiles", new { FkPacketID = "#=PkPacketID#" }))
                    //    .Read(read => read.Action("LinkedFiles_Read", "LinkedFiles"))
                    .Update(update => update.Action("LinkedFiles_UpdateWithReplace", "LinkedFiles"))
                    .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("LinkedFiles_Destroy", "LinkedFiles"))
                    .Create(create => create.Action("LinkedFiles_Create", "LinkedFiles", new { PkPacketID = "#=PkPacketID#" }))
        )
        .ToClientTemplate()
);Here is the Javascript associated with the button. It opens an aspx page in containing a file upload control - <input name="files" id="files" type="file" runat="server" />. This allows the user to select a file and save information to the database. This data will then be displayed in the LinkedFiles grid defined above.<script type="text/javascript">    function toolbar_click() {
         console.log("Toolbar command is clicked!");
        ShowReport();
        return false;
    }    function ShowReport(e) {        var grid = $("#LinkedFilesGrid").data("kendoGrid");
        var dataItem = grid.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
        alert(e);        var id = dataItem.FkPacketID;
        var u = "/Test.aspx?ID=" + id;
        alert(u);
        kendoWindow = $("#window2").data("kendoWindow");
        kendoWindow.refresh({ url: u });
        kendoWindow.center();
        kendoWindow.open();
    }</script>In a test application, this all works fine, apart from having to hard-code the PkPacketID in the Javascript function, where the variable "id" is hard-coded.When the parent grid detail is opened, the grid sees the ID defined in the grid name - "LinkedFilesGrid#=PkPacketID#" correctly and attempts to populate the grid with matching records.Currently there are no records available to load into this grid, so step one is to click the "Add File" button, which needs to find and pass the PkPacketID to the aspx page.This is the first issue: I cannot find that ID. Tha Javascript in "ShowReport" errors with "Cannot read property 'dataItem' of null" - it is not seeing the grid containing the "Add File" button, whether the grid contains data or not.Question: How do I get the PkPacketID that is defined in the grid name?



Thanks for your help.

I found out that defining "Editable(false)" for a model field doesn't seem to work when I've chosen GridEditMode.PopUp:

In this case, the "Id" field and the "MyReadOnlyField" field will be shown in the popup as editable - which obviously is not the expected behavior.

Is this done intentional or is it a bug that Model definition doesn't work correctly with PopUp edit mode? Of course I can define a custom template, but that's not what I really want... from my view it's a bug or missing feature.

 

Thanks in advance,
Dimitrij

 

Does ASP.NET MVC scheduler support integration with google calender or outlook?

Thank you..

Is there any property that will put the calendar button to the left of the input, or hide the button altogether so I can use Bootstrap's input-group feature?

Hi,

I'm Thinking of moving from kendo ui html5 to the mvc version but I am worried about performance problem when moving to large scale (2,000,000 + users per month) 

Has anybody experienced issues with the MVC edition of kendo that might not happen in the Kendo UI html5 version? 

 

Thanks

Hi

please i have create my grid and set bootstrap theme to it and add 3 custom button on it and every thing works fine but buttons not centered in each grid cell it's align to right (i have add rtl css) as you can see in attached image

 so please how can i set them center vertically and Horizontally in each grid cell ?

my attempt (Where I have Kendo DropDownList 1 as #Type and Kendo DropDownList 2 as #Units:

            $('#Type').change(function (e) {
                //if (e.target.value == "Electirc") {
                var val = e.target.value;
                var ddL = $('#Units').data("kendoDropDownList")

                if (val == "Electric") {
                    ddl.dataSource.data({Text:"-", value:"null"},{Text:"kW", value:"kW"},{Text:"GJ", value:"GJ"})
                    //$("#Units").html("<option value='null'>item1:-</option><option value='kW'>item1: kW</option><option value='GJ'>item1: GJ</option>");
                } 
            })

The goal would be to have the contents of DDL2 to change based on the selection by DDL1

I'm starting to build a Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC project, just like the Grid Demo on http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/

And i got this error when i debug project.

What problem?

I am using UI for MVC 2015.1.318

I am replacing user admin lists with Telerik grids, but need to call the original views for CRUD.  I have reviewed the documentation at http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/server-editing as well as several forum posts, but the Edit command button always calls the inline editor.

 My grid

There is a UserAdminController.cs with Edit and Delete methods.  Here is the Edit: 

Where is this going off the rails?

Best,
Scott
