[Solved] Grid with popup editing at the cell level

[andy]

Hi,

I'm looking to have popup style editing in a grid, but at the cell, not the row level.  So instead of having an per row edit button that would launch the popup, I'd like to launch it by clicking on a cell.  When not being editing, the value displayed in the cell would come from a formatting function/template/etc I provide.  When being editing the popup displayed should also be a template or something like that, which I can control.  

I'm not too worried about the data binding part, if it's possible to do this without kendo doing the data binding, as long as there are hooks, I can handle that myself.

Is this possible, if so, how?

thanks,
andy

Hi Andy,

Please note that the desired behavior is not supported out of the box and it will require custom solution which depends entirely on you and the exact setup that you have. For example you can bind "dblclick" or "click" event handler to each cell in the grid and use it to open the desired editor in custom window.
Also you can access the underlying model using the grid "dataItem" method.
