Error on Grid Excelexport

[Allan]

I have tried to find som help on why i can't use this binding feature to my excel export part of the mvc grid compoment.

    var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
    grid.bind("excelExport", function (e) {
        e.workbook.fileName = "Grid.xlsx";
    });
    grid.saveAsExcel();

 

This i my first beginning of these binding options, and the goal is to use them to hide/show during export.
To get to this goal, is need the first part solved first- my binding fails in the bold line in script performance on website.

 

The error is:Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'bind' of undefined

 

Whay cant i use this bind to capure the excelExport event ??

 

regards

Allan

Hi Allan,

I created a sample Dojo project which resembles the scenario you are willing to achieve. Depending on whether the button outside the grid has been clicked, the export file name changes. 

You can find the sample here: Change Export Name

The sample utilizes the bind method, similar to the sample demonstrated and explained in this article:
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/intro/widget-basics/events-and-methods#handling-widget-events

The error you are facing indicates that the grid instance is not properly accessed. Please verify that the name/id of the grid widget is correct and it is available at this time of initiating the script logic.
