Grid Checkbox - Use 'Y' & 'N' instead of True / False

[Brandon]

Hello,

I have a grid with checkboxes. I am using the template feature to show a checkbox if there is a checked flag. By default Kendo recognizes the true / false to enable the checkbox. I have type: boolean in the schema.

My problem: The datasource that is provided to me, will only display 'Y' or 'N' for these boolean values.

In edit mode, how can I keep the checkboxes but use the template to recognize these new values? Clicking edit will display a textbox instead of the checkbox (If I set the scheme to "string" so that the template will recognize the "Y" & "N" values. Please help!

Hello Brandon,

What you need can be accomplished by using a custom editor. You can see a demo here: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/editing-custom

And here is a dojo with your example: http://dojo.telerik.com/itUBI/2

Basically it uses a function on edit that creates a checkbox which is either checked or not based on the field value. Be aware that you need separate logic to turn the checkbox input back into a Y/N string either on the server or on the client side.
