kendo grid add group column in jquery

[Shaktii]

Hi,

I want to know is there any way to set group column by clicking on any other check box on same page outside the grid.

<div id="grid"></div>
<input type="checkbox" id="chkOrderGroup" />

//script

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  columns: [
    { field: "name" },
    { field: "age",
      groupFooterTemplate: "Total: #= count #"
    }
  ],
  dataSource: {
    data: [
      { name: "Jane Doe", age: 30 },
      { name: "John Doe", age: 30 }
    ]
  }
});
  $(document).ready(function () {
      $('#chkOrderGroup:checkbox').change(function () {
            var g = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid")
            var objGroup = g.dataSource.group;
         // *******************************  Require code to set  column with name  "age"  as group column when check box is checked *****
      });

Require code to set  column with name  "age"  as group column when check box is checked.

Hi Shaktii,


You are on the right way to achieve this. The group method of the Grid's dataSource should be invoked in order to set the grouping.
E.g.

var g = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
g.dataSource.group({ field: "age" });

I wish you a great day!
