Column resizing and detail templates: not working

[Pieter]

Hi,

I'm trying to create (in v2014.3.1119) a grid with a detail template (which contains a grid), but now I can't resize the columns of the main grid. Is this a limitation or a bug?

Steps to reproduce:
Edit the example from http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/detailtemplate to include have a "resizable: true" in the grid config and the columns are not resizable. Remove the "detailTemplate" and "detailInit" and the columns areresizable.

Did a quick check: in version 2013.2.716 this was working.

Hello Pieter,

This is a known issue, which should be already addressed. Please download the latest internal build and give it a try.

This problem is jamming me up as well. I'm not seeing any new notifications about internal builds. When can we expect it to be available to install?

Hello,

Internal builds with the discussed fix are long available. Please log in to telerik.com and download one from Account > Products & Subscriptions.

My app is a VS 2013 MVC app using ASP.NET 4.51. In the past when there have been new internal builds, I've been prompted to install them and to update my app. That's not happening this time.

Looking where you suggested, I see several downloads for internal builds. They are all .zip files without installers or readme files. The two that seem most likely to be the ones I need are telerik.ui.for.aspnetmvc.hotfix.2014.3.1223.commercial.zip and telerik.ui.for.aspnetmvc.internal.2014.3.1223.commercial.zip.

I've never manually installed an updated internal build and all the information I can find in your forums on doing it seems outdated. Rather than fumble around and possibly mess up my build and/or development environment, could you either provide or point me at some current instructions on how to do this?

My app is a VS2013 MVC app using the latest released versions of ASP.NET MVC, EF, and Kendo. In the past when you've had updated internal builds, I've been prompted to install them and update my app. That's not happening this time and I've never manually installed an internal build before. All of the information I can find on your forums about manually installing an updated internal build is sketchy and outdated. Rather than mess up my build and/or development environment, could you please either provide or point me to some detailed and up to date instructions on how to do so? Also, based on the information I provided, I would like to know which of the available internal builds downloads is the appropriate one for my app.

Sorry for the double post, I got an error message from you site and I thought my posts didn't get recorded.

Hello Bryan,

Upgrading the Kendo UI version manually is quite similar to initial installation in an existing project - you need to add (i.e. replace) the Kendo.Mvc.dll assembly reference, the script files, the stylesheet files, and their corresponding URLs in the Layout file.

The difference between the "hotfix" and "internal" packages is that the "hotfix" does not include the non-minified source code.

Hi Dimo and Rosen,

Thanks for the reply. I followed the procedures outlined and updated my Telerik install first. Then I updated the scripts, content, and lib components of my app from there. I cleaned and rebuilt my solution. I verified the version of Kendo.Mvc.dll that my app is referencing is 2014.3.1223.545. Sadly, the original problem is not fixed with the internal build.

My app has a number of pages with Telerik grids, all with resizable columns. Some of the grids employ client detail templates that have sub grids in them. Column resizing works correctly for all of the grids that do not have client detail templates and for all of the grids inside the client detail templates. Column resizing does not work at all for the outer grids that have client detail templates. The mouse pointer does not change appearance to the resize icon when it hovers over column boundaries on the outer grids. As Pieter stated in his original post, this functionality used to work in prior versions.

Any ideas or further updates?

Thanks,
-Bryan

Ah, now I've got it working. I forgot to do a Ctrl+F5 after everything else to clear the browser's cache. After I did that it started working. Thanks.
