Customize grid column menu (replace it with filter sub-menu)

[Jana Vichtova]

Hi.

I need to customize clasicall colum menu of grid. Insted of him i need to show his "Filter" - submenu.. But only on some columns. I solved this by cobe below:

             function columnMenuInit(e, data) {
                 var self = this;
                 var field = e.field;


                 var gridId = "GridODU";
                 self.tr = this.thead.find("[data-field=" + e.field + "]");


                 if (field !== "Id" && field !== "id" && field !== "DruhPrijmu_Code" && field !== "ZuctovaciSymbol_Code") {

                     var menu = e.container.children().data("kendoMenu");
                     var filterMenuOptions = self.tr.data("kendoColumnMenu").filterMenu.options;

                     var menuParentWrapper = menu.wrapper;
                     menuParentWrapper.removeAttr('class');
                     menuParentWrapper.attr('class', 'k-reset');
                     menuParentWrapper.html("");
                     menuParentWrapper.append("<li class='customMenu'></li>");

                     if (filterMenuOptions.name == "FilterMultiCheck") {
                         menu.wrapper.find(".customMenu").kendoFilterMultiCheck(filterMenuOptions);;
                     } else {
                         menu.wrapper.find(".customMenu").kendoFilterMenu(filterMenuOptions);;
                     }

                 }
}

 

This solution works like I expected, but there is problem with doubled request to server for column fiter data. First request is made before columMenuInit event (thid fill with data filter submenu) and inicialization of kendoFilterMenu / kendoFilterMultiCheck in columMenuInit event cause second request.

Is there some way how to do only one request ? Or is there any other solution how to achieve desired behaviour  ?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

Have you tried providing a customizing the filter menu as shown in this demo? Could you please share with us the entire grid configuration so we could examine the setup?
