[Solved] Custom Cell Viewer

[None]

I have a text area editor for a cell as follows:

function CommentsEditor(container, options) {

    console.log("CommentsEditor!!!");

    console.log(options.field);

    console.log(options);

    $('<textarea rows="4" cols="40" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '">'+ options.model.Comments  +' </textarea>')

    .appendTo(container)

        .kendoEditor();

}

    function ReadEditor(input) {        
           // $('<textarea rows="4" cols="40" ">' + input.Comments + ' </textarea>').kendoEditor(); CANT DO THIS!
 
            return '<textarea rows="4" cols="40" ">' + input.Comments + ' </textarea>';
        }




This works fine when I edit the cell. But how do I make it so that VIEWING the cell looks the same? I want each row, even when it is not being edited, to display a text area.

The problem is I cannot figure out how to get "template:" to do this, as there seems to be no way for me to call the right jquery inside of the template for a field to make it a kendo text area instead of a normal text area. Any ideas?

    { field: "Comments", template: ReadEditor, editor: CommentsEditor, title: "Comments", format: "{0:c}", width: "200px" },

Hello None,

 

You should initialize the editor on dataBound event. Here is an example - http://dojo.telerik.com/@rusev/owAFE
