Customising the Grid toolbar

[Simon]

I have seen a number of Threads on this but none that fully answers what I am trying to achieve. I am after the following :

ToolBar(toolbar =>
                                    {
                                        toolbar.Create().Text("New Order");
                                        toolbar.Custom()
                                                . call an action method i.e "<a class='k-button' href='" + Url.Action("Submit", "myController")+"'"+">Submit</a>")
                                                .Text("Submit").IconClass("k-icon k-i-cancel");

                                    })

 

The answer on a previous tread :   toolbar.ClientTemplate("<a class='k-button' href='" + Url.Action("Submit", "myController")+"'"+">Submit</a>");

Does not tell me how I can add the toolbar.Create().Text("New Order"); to the same template.

I also want to pass to the submit action the current Datasource request information i.e filtering etc so that I can refresh the grid on finish.

Hello Simon,

The Create command could be added to the Toolbar template as demonstrated below:

.ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.ClientTemplate(
            "<a class='k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-add' href='/myController/Create'><span class='k-icon k-i-add'></span>Add new record</a>" +
            "<a class='k-button' href='/myController/Submit'>Submit</a>")
        )

Regarding the last question, are you trying to persist the Grid state (filter, paging..)? Can you provide more information on the use-case?
