How to create a grid programmatically?

[David OBrien]

Say I have 4 comboboxes
Once a user selects something from all 4 I want to create a grid using a datasource based off the choices they selected...

Example video included :)

in the change event on the last combobox I am making an alert box pop up witht he values chosen in it

Can I just create the grid in that change function?

Well I tried it and yes it works, nevermind :)

Okay since I can create grids based of the user selections how can I destroy a grid so each time they change the selections I don't end up with 40 grids on the page?

I don't see a destroy method in the grid api

There is a reference to remove in the events section but how do you remove the grid?

Hello David,

A method called destroy should be available for each of the widgets in the latest internal build. When you call it all the events and the memory used for the widgets will be cleared. After executing the method above you can use the jQuery remove method to remove the html elements of the Grid too.
e.g.

$('#Grid').data('kendoGrid').destroy();
$('#Grid').remove();
