Inline Editing Custom Template

[Gaetano]

Hi Guys,
I have a Grid bound to a remote datasource like this

$("#rolesGrid").data("kendoGrid").setDataSource(new kendo.data.DataSource({
            transport: {
                read: {
                    url: "Url1",
                    type: "POST"
                },
                update: {
                    url: "Url2",
                    dataType: "json",
                    type: "POST"
                }
            },
            schema: {
                model: {
                    id: "Id",
                    fields: {
                        Id: { type: "int", editable: false },
                        Name: { type: "string", editable: true },
                        Description: { type: "string", editable: true },
                        Roles: { type: "odata", editable: true }
                    }
                }
            },
            pageSize: 10,
            sort: { field: "Nome", dir: "asc" }
        }));

The Roles field contains a list of custom object; each of this object has some simple properties (int and string).
When the grid is loaded I show a simple count of Roles list for each record.
es

{
     field: "Roles",
     title: "roles",
    template: "<div>#= Roles.length#</div>"
}

I set the edit mode as INLINE.
Is it possible to use a custom template so that text properties are edited with textboxes as usual and  "Roles" property is rendered as, for example, a dropDownList ???

I tried with a template as I'd like to do with popup edit mode but it seems to be useless.

Thanks
Fabio

Hi Fabio,

Please check the columns.editor function that allows the developer to specify a custom UI editor for the column. Actually we have a demo which demonstrates similar scenario. You can view it at that link:

The demo doesn't give an answer to the author's question: "Is it possible to use a custom template for Inline edit-mode?"

Not for a column, for a whole row. Please advice.

Looking forward to your answer,

Thanks,

Hi Zoran,

Providing a template for the entire row is not available out of the box. However, the editor for each column can be configured individually.
