GridToolBarCommandFactory Grid Name

[Dale]

Prior to the most recent version we could use reflection to get the grid name in this method.

We have changed it to pass the grid name, but was wondering if there is a programmatic way of getting the grid name without passing it

 

        public static GridToolBarCommandFactory<T> SuperSearch<T>(this GridToolBarCommandFactory<T> builder, string gridName, string title = "Super Search...") where T : class
        {
            builder.Spacer();
            builder.Custom().ClientTemplate($"<span class=\"k-input k-input-md k-rounded-md k-input-solid\" style=\"width: 400px;\"><input id=\"superSearch\" name=\"superSearch\" oninput=\"window.top.superSearch('{gridName}')\" class=\"k-input-inner\" autocomplete=\"off\" placeholder=\"{title}\"/></span>");

            return builder;
        }

Hi Dale,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

Yes, passing the grid name is a good approach. Generally, there is the Component property which might prove helpful:

    public class GridToolBarSettings : JsonObject        
    {
        public GridToolBarSettings(WidgetBase grid)
        {
            Commands = new List<GridActionCommandBase>();
            Component = grid;               
        }  

        public WidgetBase Component { get; }

But please note that creating custom classes is outside of our support boundaries, even if they are inherited directly from Telerik. Our components are getting actively updated and we cannot guarantee that changing some internal functionality will affect customly inherited classes. You can use Partial views to achieve a commonly repeated definition.

I hope this information was beneficial and on point.
