In my grid, I'm working on Filter Multi Checkboxes. In the unique ajax call, I would like to return a simple array of strings, like the following:

But the js is expecting a full on data structure, e.g. with an array of {CompanyName: "Susie's Seashell Shop"}

When I look at the demo and the ajax response, it seems to be unnecessarily heavy with data that will never be used for the purpose of showing the distinct items (all other columns in the view model are included, complete with data). In other words, all the Unique ajax call should be interested in is the unique set of strings for the checkboxes, so why can't it just accept an array of strings?  Or.. is there a way to configure it to accept a simple array of strings and I just haven't found it yet? Or, is there a reason why you may need to send down the complete ViewModel data structure that I'm not yet realizing?

OK, so, I'm assuming (for the purpose of this post and in the interest of getting something working in the short term) there may not be a way to just send down a simple array of strings. How can I convert the above code to return an array of anonymous types with a single field, CompanyName? I know this is more of a generic C# question, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Thanks,

I have a grid that is initialized with a datasource, then the user can choose different options from a form and get a new set of data that needs to be applied to the grid.  I can't load the entire dataset to the grid and just let the grid filter the data because the dataset would be too large so I need to set a brand new dataset each time (note: the number of columns and formatting should stay the same).  I have it working, EXCEPT, the date format does propagate.

Here is what I have:

Any help is appreciated.

I've got a listview that is backed with a remote datasource.

I want the datasource to be ordered by the client so that new items added are automatically placed in the correct place (total number of items will not be that many).

If I order the items using in 'asc', then triggering listview.add() works as expected, however if I reverse the direction so it's 'desc', then listview.add() results in it editing the last item in the list instead.

Hi,
I created grid definition using kendo mvvm framework and I'm trying to add tooltip for text inside column header. I thought I can use headerTemplate so I defined tooltip mvvm control inside header template but tooltip is not appearing. It looks that it’s imposible to define any mvvm control inside headerTemplate property? Is my assumption correct?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I tried the new optgroup feature that way, and it is not working:

http://dojo.telerik.com/uZaSE/3

The optgroup is rendered as an "undefined" block.

According to that blog post, you supports dropdownlist option group.

But... for now, we are unable to sort them in "our" order, that is not alphabetical, from data source.

Also, we are unable to load them directly from the "html source" (select / optgroup / option)... 

To be clear, we have 3 groups, and the name of these groups have nothing to do with alphabetical order.  Also, our customer can change its UI Language, so that text can change when our user change its ui language.  But, the logical order or the groups must stay the same, even if they are displayed in french, english, spanish, ... 

Do you have plans to supports the option groups directly from the "<select>" source?  

Or to "correctly" allow us to load them from data source, by providing a third "field" that allow us to manage order, independent of the displayted text?

Thank you.

Hello,

We're trying to layout our diagram by specifying x & y parameters, and loading the datasource at runtime, via json.

This is the client-side code we have:

                        subtype: ""


And the server-side code is:

The question is, how do I use those x and y parameters, client-side to take effect?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

My team is writing a custom search plugin for our Kendo grids. We are able to get the query and related functionality to work correctly, but we have had to do a couple of hacky things to get there.  I was wondering if there were more formal and better ways to handle a couple of the problems we are facing. I will first list them as plain questions before describing any details:

 1. How can I add a filter to dataSource.filter without having that affect the filter indicator on the UI? 

 2. What is the best way to override the functionality of the 'refresh' button?

For us, those to questions are very related. Basically, we would love to have our custom search work by just adding an additional filter to dataSource.filter. However, we cannot do that because it will trigger the filter indicator on the UI (and we don't want that). So we've written a backdoor way of passing in our extra search filter to avoid the UI change.  However, when we do that the 'refresh' button does not know about our extra filter. Instead the 'refresh' button calls directly into dataSource.read(), which bypasses the functionality we added and would only respect filters if we persist the search filter to the grid's set of filters (back to the UI indication trigger problem).

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

I have a grid that multiple rows can be selected and a button that I want to enable when one or more are selected but I cant seem to find a property to bind to.  Can you point me in the right direction.  I am trying to do something like:

<button ng-disabled="vm.selectedItems.length == 0">Button Text</button>
