[Solved] Grid Groupable inside jQueryUI dialog

[Pierre]

Hi,

I have the following grid inside a jqueryui dialogbox:

<div id="dlgAddProduct" title="Select Product to Add">

    @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.productList.Products)   

        .Name("ProductGrid")

        .Columns(columns =>

        {

            columns.Bound(p => p.id).Title("ID").Groupable(false).Width(70);

            columns.Bound(p => p.catgDesc).Title("Category").Width(200).Groupable(true);

            columns.Bound(p => p.name).Title("Product Name").Groupable(false);

            columns.Bound(p => p.price).Title("Price").Width(100).Groupable(false);

        })

        .Resizable(resizing => resizing.Columns(true))

        .Groupable()

        .Selectable(s => s.Mode(Kendo.Mvc.UI.GridSelectionMode.Single))

        .Sortable()

        .Scrollable()

        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

            .Ajax()

            .ServerOperation(false)

        )

    )

</div>

The dialog is defined as follows:

$("#dlgAddProduct").dialog({

    autoOpen: false,

    height: 540,

    width: 765,

    modal: true,

    resizable: true,

    open: function () {

        if ($('#hidProdListOK').val() == "") {

            loadProducts();

        }

    },

    buttons: {

        "Reload": function () {

            loadProducts();

        },

        "Close": function () {

            $(this).dialog("close");

        },

        "Add Selection": function () {

            addSelected();

        },

    }

});

When I drag the groupable column to the group area on top of the grid the "no parking" sign is displayed not allowing me to create the group. 
When I move the grid outside of the dialogbox everything works fine.

I'm using jQuery 1.8.6, jqueryui 1.9.2 and kendoUI 2012.3.1114

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

PT

Hello Pierre,

Most probably the Grid is initialized multiple times because the script tag is moved and re-executed when the Window content is set.

Could you try to remove the initialization script before creating the jQueryUI dialog?

e.g.

$(function () {
        $('#ProductGrid').next('script').remove();
        $("#dlgAddProduct").dialog({
            autoOpen: true,
            height: 540,
            width: 765,
            modal: true
        });
    })
