Is it possible to filter a column from a drop down list (from a foreign key look up table) - and if so what's the best way to do this?

The only way I can see to do this a present, is using a toolbar template - which isn't ideal but would be ok, but the example isn't for the MVC extensions ( http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/toolbar-template.html ), and it seems there should be an easier way in MVC.

Any examples would be helpful.

Thanks

I'm using the code above to load a colour picker, the Model.BackgroundColour and Model.TextColour are strings as below:

rgb(0,255,255)

but when the form loads, the initial colour is always black, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please, as looking at the documentation it seems this should work. I should also point out that passing a string as below:

#00FFFF

does work.

Thanks.

Hi to all Members.I have installed Kendo and i am using a very basic Grid
I have bind it successfully but paging sorting doesn't seems to Work

This is my View
@model IEnumerable<UserManagementApplication.Models.tblUser>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "GetDataKendo";
}
<h2>GetDataKendo</h2>
   
@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)  
    .Name("Grid")
     .Columns(columns =>
      {        
          
          columns.Bound(model => model.FirstName);
          columns.Bound(model => model.LastName);
          columns.Bound(model => model.EmailAddress);
          columns.Bound(model => model.IsActive);
      })
      
    .Pageable()
    .Sortable()
    .Filterable()
    .Scrollable()
    .Groupable()
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Read(read => read.Action("GetUserDataKendo", "User")
        )
    )
)

And this is my Controller Method
 public ActionResult GetUserDataKendo([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)
        {                   
            
            var displayedEvents = client.GetUserList(1, 100, "", false, "");      
           var result = new DataSourceResult()
            {
                Data = displayedEvents
            };
            return Json(result);
        }


My problem is that Paging Sorting are not working .Please see attached Image that how my image is showing

I have created a single page application with Kendo Grid.  and users have different roles. I need to Hide and show buttons on  User Role Type.

Hello,

We are having some problems with the image browser using the Kendo UI build v2013.2.716.

These problems can be replicated using the image browser demo (/razor/web/editor/imagebrowser) found in the Kendo.Mvc.Examples project provided with the Kendo UI install. These issues were also not present in the Q1 2013 release that we were using before.

When you try to upload an image:
The image uploads successfully but an image named "undefined" is added with the ajax spinner for a thumbnail.
Upon refreshing the page the uploaded image will show correctly in the list.

When you try to create a directory or when you try to delete an image/directory:
A request is posted to the create URL for every file in the list.

The posts look like this:
POST /razor/web/ImageBrowser/Create HTTP/1.1
Name=a100.png&Size=73289&EntryType=0&path=

POST /razor/web/ImageBrowser/Create HTTP/1.1
Name=aeroviewr.png&Size=15289&EntryType=0&path=

POST /razor/web/ImageBrowser/Create HTTP/1.1
Name=bg-glossy.png&Size=1128&EntryType=0&path=

Was some change overlooked and not committed into the code samples? Any workarounds for this?

Thank you

Hi,

I looked at the example in  http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing-popup.html (ASP.NET MVC)

Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.ProductViewModel is a simple object,

I am interested in supporting Create and Update of an object that relates to other objects (in a Parent child manner)

For example : Lets say the grid shows  Students and a Student relates to Phones via StudentPhones
The popup should enable the user to edit/create a Student with its Phones all together.

I wonder if you can supply me  a project that shows how to handle the Create and Update in a similar scenario to the one I described.

 

Thanks in advance.

p.s. My app is an N-Tier app using EntityFramework

 

I have a grid where a filter gets set through the API automatically, but I want to be able to display what that current filter is, and allow the under to easily remove it.  I'm thinking of using MultiSelect to accomplish this purely from the standpoint of how it looks to the user and could allow them to click on that X to easily remove the filter.  But I'm not sure this is the right or even a workable approach.  I figure before I go to effort to try to implement this and go through testing, that I'd ask the experts here and see what your recommendations may be to accomplish something like this.

Any input would be most appreciated, thank you!

I am having the following issue when I’m using Kendo UI Grid in partial view loaded by Ajax.ActionLink.
Sorting and everything works as long as I‘m not adding any events, but I need to use Change event in order to implement
 Master-Child grid.
After I add the event, sorting stops working, event is not firing. My test code is
Controller
public class TestKendoAjaxController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {           
           return View();
       }
        public ActionResult PartialGrid()
        {
            List<TestKendoAjaxModel> result = new List<TestKendoAjaxModel>();
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "Test1", LastName = "test1Last" });
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "test2", LastName = "test2Last" });
            Main nn = new Main();
            nn.blah = result;
            return PartialView("_TestPartial", nn.blah);
        }
          [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Data_Read([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)
        {
            List<TestKendoAjaxModel> result = new List<TestKendoAjaxModel>();
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "test1", LastName = "test1Last" });
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "test2", LastName = "test2Last" });
            return
Json(result.ToDataSourceResult(request));
       }
   }

View

@model Johnson.OAT.MVC4.Models.Main
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>

<p>
@Ajax.ActionLink("Load partial view", "PartialGrid", new AjaxOptions
{
    OnSuccess = "updatePlaceholder",
    UpdateTargetId = "result"
})
</p>

 <div id="result"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
   function updatePlaceholder(context) {
        // the HTML output of the partial view
        var html = context.get_data();

        // the DOM element representing the placeholder
        var placeholder = context.get_updateTarget();

        // use jQuery to update the placeholder. It will execute any JavaScript statements
        $(placeholder).html(html);

        // return false to prevent the automatic update of the placeholder
        return false;
    }
</script>

Partial view

@model IEnumerable<Johnson.OAT.MVC4.Models.TestKendoAjaxModel>

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(o => o.FirstName).Format("{0:d}").Width(80);
            columns.Bound(o => o.LastName).Width(200);
           
                             
        }).Sortable().Pageable(p => p.PageSizes(new[] { 20, 30, 50 })
        ).Filterable()
        .Selectable()
         .DataSource(datasource => datasource
           .Ajax()
           .Read(read=> read.Action("Data_Read","TestKendoAjax").Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
           
 )
 .Events(events => events.Change("change"))
 )


<script>
    function change(e) {
       alert("")
    }
</script>



 

Thank you in advance!
