We allow our users to optionally save the state of their grids and persist them in the db. When a user comes back to he screen, they see the standard grid display just for a moment, then it updates their grid via JavaScript ( setOptions call) as it applies their persisted state settings. This makes it look like it's doing a double load. 

We would rather just initialize the grid with their persisted settings (via serialized json string) so the grid shows correctly on the initial load.

Is this possible?

We are using MVC.

Thanks!

Hello,
 
I have an editable grid which is set up to use PopUp edit mode. One of the columns (color) is a string that holds a hex value for a color. I have created an editor template to handle the edit and create functions.  Here is how I define the grid:

and here is how I define my editor template
Everything works well for the edit, however when I try to create a new record, I get an error: Cannot Parse Color: at kendo.all.min.js, line 17, column 6374

I understand that when creating a new record the color property of the model is an empty string, but I am initializing the color picker with a default value of #ffffff. Why am I still getting this error?

I am using version 2013.3.1119.340 with VS 2013. I am testing on IE 11, but I tried FF and I am still getting the same error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

For the majority of our grids we have a specific configuration, Paging, Filters, etc. Any ideas of how to create a single config object in C# that I can just pass into a grid rather than setting everything for every grid.

With js it seems doable... I just create a config object, modify any of our defaults if needs for that grid, and pass it to the jQuery extension. 

But, I'm not sure how to do it for the MVC helpers. Any ideas?

Hello,

I would like to have multiple controls in a column on a single grid row.
For example like two datetime controls in a column on a row. I could use row template and can show (display) one below another in a row of a column, but how to do edit (& delete)? Please provide technical inputs and how to do it.

Attached is picture showing what is my requirement (for example: Scheduled time and Actual time in a row of a single column). How to achieve edit/ delete?

I was following the demo for the Custom Editting
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/editing-custom

And I did not get the Drop down as expected.    I saw the ID  and Name be replace in the column instead a drop down

I used the 
Columns.Bound(p => p.Category).ClientTemplate("#=Category.CategoryName#").Width(160);


The one thing I couldnt not figure out was in the Controller it defince the ViewData["categories"] = categories;

I could not figure out how that was wired to the Razor page.

I am using kendo button the following way.

    @(Html.Kendo().Button().Name("deleteButton").HtmlAttributes(new { type = "button", @class = "k-primary pull-right" }).Content("Delete").Events(ev => ev.Click("Delete(1)")))

I need to call a javascript function with parameters

        function Delete(value)
        {
            alert(value)
        }

But it doesn't work when I click the button.
Everything works fine without arguments.

Does telerik support passing arguments to javascript functions from buttons?

I have the following grid in my table. I am using the first column with a checkbox for selectig teh row.
And it has a header for multiselect(selects all check boxes using jquery)

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Customer>()
          .Name("grid")
          .Columns(columns =>
          {
              columns.Template(@<text></text>)
                  .ClientTemplate("<input name='chkSelect' id='select_#= Id #' type='checkbox' value='#= Id #' />").Width(30)
                  .HeaderTemplate("<input id='chkSelectAll'  type='checkbox'/>").Locked(true);    
            
              columns.Bound(c => c.Name)
                  .ClientTemplate("<a href='" + Url.Action("Edit", "Customer") + "/#= Id #' " + ">#= Name #</a>").Width(140)

              columns.Bound(c => c.CustomerName).Width(110).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.ShowOperators(false)));
          })


Now I also have  feature for show/hide column and I persist them using localstorage like this


        function SaveHiddenState() {
            var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
            localStorage["customer-grid-options"] = kendo.stringify(grid.getOptions());
        }

And I retreive the saved options using this

        $(function () {
            var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
            var options = localStorage["account-grid-options"];
            if (options) {
                grid.setOptions(JSON.parse(options));
            }
        });

All these work fine.
But strangely I am losing my header template for my first column alone if I get data from the localstorage. I  just get a blank header as if I hadnt included a headertemplate.
 Anything that I am missing ?

We've run into the situation where a chart is rendering one of the labels too high, so it gets hidden under the (kendo) window title bar. I've attached pictures of it rendered incorrectly in firefox (chrom does the same) and rendered correctly in IE. I'm guessing this related to the box model.

We're currently running an older version (2012.2.710.340) because we ran into some issues trying to get current and I haven't got them sorted out yet. So wondering if this has perhaps already been fixed in a later version? I'm able to work around the issue by calculating a max and setting it, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to do that.

Hi, is there any way to have the Filter Row tabbing not cause the data to mis-aligned?  I want to be able to tab through Filter Row fields but I want column headers to still be aligned with their column data.

Steps:
1) Resize page so that grid requires horizontal scroll bar
2) Set focus on first filter row input
3) Tab over until you are on filter input outside of visible area and notice that filter row will be coming mis-aligned with data

Hi,

Is it possible to use DataSourceRequest when using a Combobox with auto suggest?

For example: I have created T4 templates for simple CRUD operations with the read action like so:

public ActionResult Read([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)

I was hoping to use this Read method when populating comboboxes and server filtering for suggesting.

At the moment I have had to add the following action to get it to work.

public ActionResult Lookup(string text)

As the objects are small it would be great if there was a way to reuse the Read action and the ToDataSourceResult() extension to create the filters etc.

Is there a way? Am I missing something? Like a custom model binder or an extension method which takes the query string e.g “text=MySearch&filter[logic]=and&filter[filters][0][value]=dsds&filter[filters][0][field]=DisplayName&filter[filters][0][operator]=contains&filter[filters][0][ignoreCase]=true”

Thanks Matt
