How to trigger filterMenuOpen event every time before menu opens?

[Angelo]

Which event can I hook into in order to run custom code before a KendoGrid FilterMenu opens every time?

There is an event that runs once before it opens (filterMenuInit) and an event that runs every time after the menu opens (filterMenuOpen), but I need the third kind, which runs every time before opening.

Hello Angelo,

There isn't a particular Kendo Grid event that is fired before the menu is opened every time the filter icon is clicked. The earliest events are the filterMenuOpen and filterMenuInit.

You could attach a click event to the filter icon element and execute your logic in there. The click will be executed before the menu is opened.

$("#grid .k-grid-filter").on("click",function() {
  console.log("executed before the menu is opened.");
});

Here is a Dojo odemo demonstartign this:

Hope this helps.
