I have a grid where half of the columns are generated dynamically, but I need to add a tooltip to these columns. Normally I would use a kendoGridCellTemplate, but this doesn't seem to work with dynamic columns. I have tried a number of different things, but I'm not getting anywhere.
<kendo-grid-column *ngFor="let block of dynamicBlocks" field="{{block.field}}" title="{{block.title}}" width="82">
<ng-template kendoGridCellTemplate>
{{THE FIELD VALUE}} --- what goes here?
</ng-template>
</kendo-grid-column>
I am a little frustrated by the lack of responsive properties of the grid. I can live with the problem of having to use the media property and kendo-grid-span-column directive for columns but why can't I also hide the toolbar on smaller devices? Surely the best method here would be to have the media property follow standard grid principles. For example a grid with four columns could have media="col-2", media="col-3", media="col-5", media="col-2" and the hidden property could have [hidden]="sm" etc. To stack using the kendo grid we need to duplicate code like so:
<!-- any device bigger than 360px --><kendo-grid-column field="displayName" title="{{ l('DisplayName')}}" [minResizableWidth]="140" width="140" media="(min-width: 361px)"></kendo-grid-column><kendo-grid-column field="organizationUnit.id" title="{{ l('OrganizationUnits')}}" [minResizableWidth]="100" media="(min-width: 361px)"> <ng-template kendoGridFilterMenuTemplate let-column="column" let-filter="filter" let-filterService="filterService"> <multi-check-filter [isPrimitive]="false" [field]="column.field" [currentFilter]="filter" [filterService]="filterService" textField="displayName" valueField="id" [data]="locations"> </multi-check-filter> </ng-template> <ng-template kendoGridCellTemplate let-dataItem> {{dataItem.organizationUnit?.displayName}} </ng-template></kendo-grid-column><!-- typical Android (360px) --><kendo-grid-span-column> <kendo-grid-column field="displayName" title="{{ l('DisplayName')}}" media="(max-width: 360px)" [columnMenu]="false"> </kendo-grid-column> <ng-template kendoGridCellTemplate let-dataItem> <h4>{{dataItem.displayName}}</h4> <p>{{dataItem.organizationUnit?.displayName}}</p> </ng-template></kendo-grid-span-column>But even then we can't hide the toolbar on smaller devices. Why won't a simple directive instruction like this for the toolbar template:
<ng-template kendoGridToolbarTemplate media="(max-width: 360px)"> <button type="button" kendoGridExcelCommand [icon]="'file-excel'">{{ l('ExportToExcel')}}</button> <kendo-grid-column-chooser class="pull-right"></kendo-grid-column-chooser></ng-template>When I started with the angular grid I thought I was going to get a lot of modern way of looking at things but it seems that the underlying code is generating css like we did 10 years ago when we were working with Telerik and Visual Basic and had 34 columns in a window which more or less worked like a spreadsheet. The documentation points to the widgets using a container which does not work well with Bootstrap because the Bootstrap container is 'non-default'. Come on guys, DevExpress grids stack, as do PrimeNG grids as do data tables (the list goes on).
Your widgets are so well thought out they are a pleasure to work with and I have worked with the MVC and JQuery stuff for a decade or so. Your scheduler has given me the opportunity to close so many deals I can't begin to count them all. I am so looking forward to the angular version. Your widgets are brilliant and your support is second to none. Your forums have a wealth of information your competitors must look on with envy.
But your approach to responsiveness is just so poor. Come one guys, give us something to shout about. Is there anything on the roadmap to change your approach or are you going to hang on to a css foundation which has the same footprint as a fossilised dinosaur?
Rant over, keep up the good work but please give us some good news on responsiveness because if the scheduler has the same problem it's game over. I really don't want to go and try the other options on the market but it's the device which is driving the market, not the functionality.
Hi,
I have a problem with Selectable. The rows are selectable even though it is false.

In Angular 4 how i change language to spanish filters items in grid?
Thanks

My framework uses moment.js for datetime values which return values in ISO dateformat. I have managed to format the correct datetime values in the grid by calling a function in my controller:
<kendo-grid-column field="creationTime" title="{{ l('CreationTime')}}" width="150" [hidden]="false" media="lg"> <ng-template kendoGridCellTemplate let-dataItem> {{ formatDate(dataItem.creationTime) }} </ng-template></kendo-grid-column>And my function:
formatDate(date: any) { return moment(date).format('L');}The problem is that the filter now sees the data as a string and therefore I get the string filter. I have exhaustively searched the forums on how to set the ISO date value to a javascript Date value and find myself scratching my head because all of the examples are either JQuery or angular with rxjs prior to angular 5.5.
So, I have the following method where this.gridData is a GridDataResult which is bound to my grid:
getEntitiesForKendo() { this.gridLoading = true; this._kendoGridService.getEntities(this.state) .subscribe((data) => { this.gridData = data; this.getOrganisationUnits(); this.gridLoading = false; });}Which works great but a datetime value in this.gridData I have to use a function to convert to datetime in the grid column. It would be better to cast the ISO date value to a javascript value so the grid can understand it but so far my investigations shjow that the only advice from Kendo is that I have to cast the value:
data.datetimevalue = new Date(data.datetimevalue)In the subscription to my observable how do I get to the datetime value and cast it?
I have tried both the pipe and map operators to no avail. Surely the conversion of ISO datetime values to javascript values is common? Can anyone give me any pointers? At the moment (sic.) I have had to disable filters on the datetime column which is not really what I want.
Hi,
Is there a way to implement the drag and drop functionality to the grid column, in order to have a custom behavior ?
What I tried:
1. Get an access
to grid internal services or replace them with my custom services. That would
allow me to control behavior of components on low level and reuse their
events-emitting systems.
2. Get an access
to grid internal components/directives by using @ViewChild(ren). That would
allow me to subscribe on events on child components level.
3. Implement the
d&d functionality by myself without kendo-ui grid API by adding custom
mouse events listeners on grid container.
What I got:
1. All services are
private (marked as hidden). It's hard to reference them externally. Replacing
them with custom implementation didn't work.
2. Most of the
internal components/directives are also private. Didn't get a valid approach
(selector for ViewChild) to get required view elements.
3. Kendo-ui grid sorting,
grouping and reordering features for columns suppress most of the mouse events.
It works only for columns with these features turned off.

Hi ,
if we set value programatically to the autocomplete then clear is not triggering value change first time.
As I got this related link https://github.com/telerik/kendo-angular/issues/1052 , Saying its resolve in Fixed v1.4.0-dev.201712121657
But is there any quick fix / alternative way available to solve this without updating new version...
I want to create a line chart with the bottom port shaded in. I can accomplish this by adding an Area series with the same data points. The only issue is when there's a null data point. For line chart, nulls are not rendered as a point but Area treats it as 0. Is it possible to fix this behavior?
