    Hi,

    I was looking at the forum, but I didn't find any message related to this. I would like to allow users to change the number of rows displayed in the grid for example 15, 30, 50. So far, I see that the pageSize property is specified when initializing the grid. Also, I havent' see any example where the number of rows can be changed dinamically, for example a drop down list with the number of rows next to the pagination numbers, or a text box when the number of pages can be entered.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Alvaro,

    You can change the Kendo Grid page size by using the widget's datasource API:

    http://www.kendoui.com/documentation/framework/datasource/methods.aspx

    In other words, set the datasource's page size like below and then rebind the Grid:

    var grid = $("#GridID").data("kendoGrid");
    grid.dataSource.pageSize(20);
    grid.refresh();

    The Grid itself does not provide a dropdown for doing the above automatically, but you can use a Kendo DropDownList widget inside a Grid toolbar template, as shown in this demo:

    http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/toolbar-template.html

    Alternatively, you can even inject a <select> or <input> element inside the Grid pager area (after the Grid has been created) and initialize a DropDownList (ComboBox) widget there. Afterwards, use its change event.

    http://demos.kendoui.com/web/dropdownlist/events.html

    Hi Dimo!

    I tried your suggestion:

    var grid = $("#GridID").data("kendoGrid");
    grid.dataSource.pageSize(2);
    grid.refresh();


    but after setting the page size to 2 in case of a grid containing 11 elements, I get the following:

    At the first page there are 2 elements, so its correct.
    At the second page there are 9 elements
    At the third page there are 7 elements
    and so on, decrement by 2 every page until the end.

    What could couse these duplications?

    I use a grid initialized from local json data.

    If I set the dataSource pageSize to 2 at the Grid initialization, there is no problem.

    Hello Dombi,

    The page size that you are setting, should be a number, not a string.

    Is this something that can be worked into the grid pager as a feature?

    Is there way to change the grid page size on grid load....
    I am asking this question because there is no grid_onload event like Telerik grid where this can be done pretty easily.

    Please advise.

    Hello Atanu,

    There is not much need of an OnLoad event. You can simply execute or call the required code after the Grid Javascript initialization statement.

    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    Can you please show a small sample to implement this.

    Actually I want to implement a common function to set the pagesize of the grid at start so that all other grids can call that same function; which I used to do very easily with telerik grid's
    .Events(events => events.onLoad("Grid_onLoad"))
     
    where Grid_Load is a javascript function to set the grid pagesize and all other grids used to call that.

    Regards.

    Hi Atanu,

    You can use the code I have provided in my first post in this thread, and enclose it in a function that will be called with a parameter after each Grid Javascript initialization statement. The parameter can be the Grid's ID or DOM element.

    Hi Dimo

    Here is how I designed my grid

    @{
        Html.Kendo().Grid<......>()
        .Name("TestKendoGrid")
        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%;" })
        .Events(events => events.DataBound("Grid_onDataBound"))
        .Events(events => events.Change("Grid_OnChange"))   
        .AutoBind(false)
        .Columns(col =>
        {
            col.Bound("NP_PARAM_UID").Hidden();        
            col.Bound("PROCESS_GRP").Title("Process Group").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });
            col.Bound("PARAM_NAME").Title("Parameter Name").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });
            col.Bound("PARAM_VALUE").Title("Parameter Value").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });
            col.Bound("EXTERNAL_ID").Title("Table Name").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });
            col.Bound("EXTERNAL_FK").Title("Key Value").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });
            col.Bound("DEL_FLG").Hidden();
        })
        .DataSource(dataBinding =>
        {
            dataBinding.Ajax().Read(read => read.Action("SrchDataIniParam", "Admin",
            new
            {
                area = "Admin",
                strParamGrp = ViewBag.Param1        
            }))
            .ServerOperation(false);
        })
        .Resizable(resizing => resizing.Columns(true))
        .Selectable() 
        .Reorderable(reorder => reorder.Columns(true))
        .Pageable()
        .Sortable()
        .Filterable()
        .Render();
    }

    Now where to put that initialization code?. Sorry if I am wrong in my understanding as i am new to Kendo UI Grid

    When using Kendo UI MVC wrappers, the initialization statement follows immediately the widget's HTML markup. So you can put your custom Javascript anywhere after the server-side widget declaration.

    Thanks....

    I have used it the way you said

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >
        Grid_PageSize('MyKendoGrid');
    </script>

    And in the javascript function did the paging as below

    Grid_onLoad = function (objGrid) {
        var grid = $("#" + objGrid).data("kendoGrid");
        if (grid != undefined)
            grid.dataSource.pageSize(parseInt(GridPageSize)); //GridPageSize is a variable holding the page size
    }

    That works fine but the function cause the grid to rebind again. So now the grid is binding twice and making two server round trips.

    Please advise.

    Hello Atanu,

    Yes, surely the Grid will rebind when changing its page size. I don't imagine what else should happen, right?

    I strongly recommend changing your implementation, so that setting the page size initially after data binding is not needed. If the desired page size is not known on the server, a possible option is to use the pure Kendo UI Grid, which is initialized via Javascript on the client. In this way you will be able to know what page size to set directly in the widget's initial configuration.

    Sorry for late reply. But it may help for new developers who got same problem. The solution is simple.

    .Pageable(x => x.PageSizes(new int[] { 10, 20, 50, 100 }))

    Thanks!

    Hello Francesco,

    You can use the Grid datasource API and namely, the page method to navigate to another page.

    gridObject.dataSource.page(5);

    I didn't see a response to your comment, but I second that.  I don't know why such a standard functionality of any grid would be omitted and left to each developer to custom code it.  Especially because you could easily convert that 1-20 of 22 text into a slick rows per page selector.

    (yes i realize this is an old thread, but amazingly, still holds true for the latest kendoui)

    Hello Darryl,

    The original topic in this thead was about the ability to change the page size on the fly, which is now supported out-of-the-box:

    http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/index

    http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#configuration-pageable.pageSizes

    In case you are referring to something else, please clarify.

    AHA! Great!  I was specifically referring to a built in UI control for end-user ability to alter page size.  I've used paging but didn't notice the switch to enable the UI for rows per page.  Well good to have a conclusion here on this old thread then so nobody is misguided when they search "rows per page kendo ui grid"  ;)

    Thanks Dimo!

    Hi Dimo, 

    Currently I'm facing a problem when I change the page size while scrolling the grid, the grid datasource rebind again. 

    I wish to retain the existing grid data, because of user will have changes in textbox inside the detail template.  

    Do you know any method when page size changed, it just append another additional row at the bottom of the grid? 

    Thanks.

    Regards, 

    Su Pei

    Hello Su Pei,

    By design, when a Kendo UI widget's dataSource changes (it is rebound, sorted, paged, fitlered, etc), the widget is rebound as well and all its data items are re-rendered. This behavior occurs also if the pushInsert method is used:

    http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource#methods-pushInsert

    From this point of view, I am afraid adding data items while preserving the current ones is not supported. What I can suggest is to prevent the user from changing the page size before saving all pending changes:

    http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/how-to/Editing/grid-prevent-navigation-when-in-editing-mode
