Conditionally add new record on Grid

[Man]

Is there a way to conditionally enable/disable the Add new Record command?

 

We have a scenario where users are allowed to add a record only if a specific pre-requisite criteria is met which can be checked from the back end

Hi Man,

The first option would be to hide/remove/disable the button using javascript / jQuery.

Alternatively, you can remove the built-in toolbar altogether and create your own depending on your preferences:

Many thanks for the response Eyup. However,creating a toolbar causes me the pain of creating the controls again and then triggering the grid's data read manually. 

As an example 

Essentially, we need to allow users to place an order only if there is stock 

Finally, we also want to be able to have buttons on the add form to be called "Order now", "Order Later", "Cancel" instead of the "Update", "Cancel"

Hello Man,

 

I am not complete sure that I understand the scenario. By default in order to be able to add new record the toolbar "create" is used. Of course there is way to use the Kendo UI DataSource API and specifically the add/insert method in order to add a new record. 

 

Could you please elaborate a bit more?
