Call Function on DataBound of Every Instance of Widget

[Lee]

I have a lot of projects with kendo grids in them. As a matter of practice, I always call the same function on the dataBound event. Instead of adding this every time I initialize a widget, I would like to set it as a default so that any time I initialize a kendo grid, it is already set. I don't want to give up the ability to add additional functions to specific grids though. Is this possible?

Hi Lee,

A possible approach would be if you instantiate the Grids with a JSON literal of options, save a base form of that literal and .extend() it with particulars for each instance. This base literal will have the databound handler.

var baseGridConfig = {
            dataBound: function(e) {
                // Common functionality for all grids
                console.log('Default dataBound executed for:', e.sender.element[0].id);
            },
            sortable: true,
            pageable: {
                pageSize: 5,
                buttonCount: 5
            },
            height: 300,
            scrollable: true
        };

Thanks. This gives me a start. I'm still going to figure out how to merge the default dataBound event with the custom one so that both fire but I think I can get inventive there.
