[Solved] How can we have custom toolbar template grid inside tab strip?

[Rajesh Ramanathan]

Hi,

I am trying to use custom toolbar template grid inside tab strip but didn't get through as it doesn't allow multiple inline markups and throws " Only one level of inline markup is allowed." error.

 @(Html.Telerik().TabStrip()
.Name("Topics")
.SelectedIndex(0)
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = string.Format("width:155%") })
.Items(TabStrip =>
      {
          TabStrip.Add()
              .Text("Valid")

              .Content(@<text> @(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
              .Name("gd")
              .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Template(@<text>
            @(Html.Telerik().DropDownList()
            .Name("ddlCountry")
                        .SelectedIndex(0)
            .BindTo(new SelectList(cnt, "id", "Name"))
            .ClientEvents(events => events
                                .OnChange("cntChange")
                )
            .HtmlAttributes(new { style = string.Format("width:{0}px", 150) })
            )
            </text>))
              .Columns(columns =>
            {
                columns.Bound(b => b.icon)
                    .ClientTemplate(" <img alt='<#= icon#>' style='width:30px;height:auto' src='" + Url.Content("~/images/") + "<#= icon#>' />")
                    .Title("Img1").Width(20);
                columns.Bound(b => b.Name).Width(20);
                columns.Bound(b => b.Seq).Width(20);

            })
            .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_Index", "Home"))
                .HtmlAttributes(new { style = string.Format("width:100%") })
            )
            </text>);
      }).HtmlAttributes(new { style = string.Format("width:100%") }))

Is there any other way out for this?

Thanks !!

Hello Rajesh Ramanathan,

 This is a well known limitation of the Razor view engine. As a workaround you can use a helper as described here.

Hi Atanas
You mentioned "well known limitation of the Razor view engine". Could you please add reference to this post. I spent almost a week trying to get updatable grid working with tabstrip and so far no luck. These might be due to the limitations you mentiobned above.
Thanks
