    Is there an example of using external controls and MVVM grids?   Specifically I want a button for 'export to excel' and buttons for sorting that are placed outside the grid on the page.

    Something similar to this Jquery example (where there are external buttons for filtering.

    Hello Perry,

    On the following Dojo, you can find a modified version of the initial example. With it, the same functionality is rewritten with the Kendo UI MVVM syntax and the external filters are also added as part of the ViewModel.

    In general, to get started with using the MVVM syntax, event binding, and events, you could refer to the official documentation:

    Thanks, that`s very helpfull

    On another subject on discussing filters....I am able to add a filter directly in the datasource definition....but is is possible to add the filter while binding to the datasource in the grid?

    For Example

     data-bind="source: products.filter({field:'ProductName',operator:'contains',value:'Chef'})"

    Hello Perry,

    The MVVM Source binding does not support this scenario. Instead, the recommended approach is to apply the filter on the dataSource level.

    Additional information and examples regarding the binder can be found in the related sections:
