[Solved] Dropdown Error when datasource returns no record

[Ti]

Hi Guys,

I have a dropdownlist inside a grid which have a remove datasource. When my datasource lenght is zero, I can't do anything in the grid. The dropdownlist keep opened. 

Here an example based on kendo custom edit example

http://dojo.telerik.com/atObU

Try to select a new category, a then, try to edit a different category. It doesn't work.

Thanks for your attention and sorry for my english :P

Hello,

The reason for current behavior is that there is required validation for the current cell which prevents the cell from closing. You can either remove the "required" attribute from the editor or specify the validation message position in order to be visible:

function categoryDropDownEditor(container, options) {

  $('<input required id="Category" name="Category" data-text-field="CategoryName" data-value-field="CategoryID" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '"/>')
  .appendTo(container)
  .kendoDropDownList({
    autoBind: false,
    dataSource: {
      data: []
    }
  });

  $('<span class="k-invalid-msg" data-for="Category"></span>').appendTo(container);
}
