Kendo Editor from Grid column

[Jared]

Hello,

 

Is it possible to use a Grid's built-in popup editor to display a Kendo Editor component? I'm finding some solutions that are close, but not quite exactly what I'm looking for. Basically one of the columns in the Grid has a need to allow rich HTML text when creating/editing, and the Kendo Editor seems to be the best way to do this.

Hello Jared,

You can set the Editor component as an editor of a specified column as follows:

• Decorate the model property with the UIHint attribute.

//Model

[UIHint("Editor")]
public string Comments { get; set; }

• Add a "View" with name that matches the template name in the UIHint attribute (i.e., "Editor") in the ~Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/ folder:

// ~Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/Editor.cshtml

@model string?

@(Html.Kendo().EditorFor(x => x))

As a result, the Editor component will appear in the default Popup editor for the "Name" property.
