Hi,

I am declaratively creating a kendo grid like so:

<div data-role="grid" data-columns="..." data-toolbar="[{"template": "<div id=\"gridToolbar\" class=\"toolbar\"><input type=\"button\" class=\"k-button k-button-icontext\" value=\"My Button\"/></div>" }]" data-source="..." ...></div>

After the grid is created I am making some changes to the toolbar (or maybe the datasource).  

$(kgrid.element).find("#gridToolbar").find("input").attr("value", "My Button 2");

This all works fine. But if kendo.bind is called again (lets say to bind a new observable to the UI), then the changes to the toolbar are lost because it is rebuild from the data attribute. My understanding is that kendo.bind initializes kendo controls and binds data for MVVM.  I had assumed that bind would only declaratively initialize the control ONCE, then subsequently just bind the observable to the already initialized controls.  Clearly this is wrong.  

In order to avoid this problem, I have found that if I remove the data-role attribute after the first call to kendo.bind (or kendo.init), then kendo.bind will not find the grid which prevents re-initialization. This is hacky and there are some downsides I can think of.

Is there some other way to handle this problem?  I really like the declarative initialization.  We render our kendo controls server side with declarative attributes, send to the browser, then just call kendo.init.  Works great, no messy inline JavaScript creating kendo controls.  But if we use MVVM and call kendo.bind, then control customization can get lost if those options were initially defined in attributes.  Am I missing something obvious here to avoid this problem?

Here is a dojo example:

Thanks for any feedback.

I'm working with dynamic columns, so I need to keep track of an ID for every column. 
So I'm using the field property for my ID and the name property for my column name. (The icons in the header are done with the headerTemplate property)

But when I start grouping, the grid uses the name property to show the grouped column (Here it is FN1).
Normally it shows also the field property in the group template, but I was able to use the groupTemplate property to show the the name I want (here it is the columnName).

But is it possible to change the text of the field in the drop zone? Now there is 'FN1' but can I change it so it shows 'abc'? 

I have a grid where one of my fields is an attribute type with and id and text that needs to be edited with a dropdownlist in the popup editor. When a specific value in that dropdownlist is selected I need to be able to show a grid in the editor as well to set additional values. These values are not part of the original grid. I've tried creating a custom editor template but ran into problems binding the data for the dropdownlist. The attribute type in the original grid kept getting set to undefined, but the correct value was getting back to the database. I tried using the built in editor and just setting the editor for the dropdownlist and adding a grid to the popup editor in the change event, but that wasn't working at all (the grid showed up but with the header at the bottom and covered everything else in the popup). Is there a way to do this and still have all of the values data bound to the original grid?

Thanks,
Andrea

I have created a grid with MVC wrapper and have turned on the scrollable option. I have also defined a width for every column. In a wide desktop view no scrollbars show in Chrome as the width is wide enough to accomodate all columns, which is the behavior I want, however the horizontal scrollbar always show in firefox. Turning scrollable off is not an option as I want the grid to be scrollable at smaller screen size.

Using
Kendo 2014.3.1119
Firefox 35.0

Is it possible to put your template in an external. js file and then pull it into the page?

<script src="/Scripts/template.js" type="text/x-kendo-template" id="details-n-actions-template">

I tried this, but it didn't work and I didn't see any errors come through.

I'm trying to use cascade ComboBoxes.
In the parent ComboBox, I registered a change event like
change: function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var child = $('#child').data('kendoComboBox');
    var childDataSourceUrl = "/data/source?param=" + this.value();
    child.dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        type: "json",
        serverFiltering: false,
        transport: { read: { url : childDataSourceUrl } }
    });
    child.dataSource.read();
}
When child.dataSource.read(); is called, it fires a ajax call correctly, and the response is also correct. But the data doesn't bind with child ComboBox, leaving it blank. Any idea why? And how to solve it?
Thanks!

I think I found a flaw in the logic to get the first editable column when adding a new row to a grid.  I have a grid where the visibility of the first column is toggled on and off based on another control on the page.  When the first column is hidden and the button is clicked to add a new row the first cell is not given focus.  I traced this through the code and came to this function:


It looks like there should be a check for !column.hidden as part of the if condition so that we don't try to set the focus to a cell in a hidden column.  Let me know if that seems correct or if there's a different way I should be handling this situation.  Thanks!

Is it possible to open a PopOver programmatically from a regular link without the data-role='button' attribute?  I have an icon wrapped in a link and don't want all the bulky chrome of the standard button.
