Grid Options does not include Header Attributes

[Jon]

The object returned by grid.getOptions() includes the "attributes" object for columns, such as the following:

"attributes":{"style":"text-align: right;"}

However, it does not include the header attributes. If I apply saved grid state using grid.setOptions(), my header attributes defined via HeaderHtmlAttributes is removed. Is there a way to set the grid options while preserving the header attributes?

Here's the code I'm using to set the grid options:

var grid = $("#CaseloadGrid").data("kendoGrid");

var savedOptions = localStorage["caseload-grid-options"];

 

if (savedOptions)

{

    var state = JSON.parse(savedOptions);

    var options = grid.options;

    options.dataSource.pageSize = state.dataSource.pageSize;

    options.dataSource.sort = state.dataSource.sort;

    options.dataSource.page = state.dataSource.page;

    grid.setOptions(options);

}

Hi Jon,

HeaderHtmlAttributes() are not serialized to the client-side Grid initialization script. Instead, they are rendered from the server. That's why you will need to include them to the saved options manually.

var opts = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").getOptions();

// replace 0 with the actual column index
opts.columns[0].headerAttributes = { /* use client side API syntax here */ };

The same applies for server-side templates, such as the toolbar template and server-side column templates (if server binding is used).

Hi, I was having this issue as well and the solution provided here works except that we support column re-ordering so I need to access the column by name or some other way instead of index.

opts.columns[xxx].headerAttributes = { /* use client side API syntax here */ };

Is something like this possible?

Hello Roberto,

Direct access to a column by its (field) name is unfortunately not available, but you can iterate the column objects and check their field key to find the correct one.
