I've almost used up my trial time trying to figure out how to get a dropdownlist to show up like the example in:
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing-custom.html

I see I'm not the only one struggling to get something that should be pretty simple to work.  The example is missing an explanation of how the template #=Category.CategoryName# works and where to find the definition of that template.  I'd like the see a step-by-step tutorial on how to wire up this control.  I'm sure there are MANY others who would benefit from this as well.

In my demo application I have a database value I'm reading which is an integer which I want displayed as a text in a DropDownList within a grid.  I think I'm close but I'm missing a few key points.  How do I add my own editor template?  The demo seems to suggest it is either in the view or controller for the grid.  I think I found it in the "EditorTemplates" folder but have no idea how it gets connected to the view.  Here are snippets of my project code:

My view:
@model IEnumerable<QT_Kendo2.Models.Isotope>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Isotope Library</h2>
@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model).Name("Isotopes").Columns(c =>
{
    c.Bound(p => p.Id).Hidden();
    c.Bound(p => p.Version).Hidden();
    c.Bound(p => p.Name);
    c.Bound(p => p.LLD).Format("{0:n1}");
    c.Bound(p => p.ULD).Format("{0:n1}");
    c.Bound(p => p.HalfLife);
    c.Bound(p => p.HalfLife_Units).ClientTemplate("#=HLUnitList#");     // Convert the numeric index into text (hours, days, weeks, years)

    c.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); });
})
    .ToolBar(toolbar =>
        {
            toolbar.Create();
            //    toolbar.Save();       // Used in batch mode
        })
    //.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:400px;" })
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .ServerOperation(false)
        .Model(model =>
            {
            model.Id(p => p.Id);
            model.Field(p => p.Id).Editable(false);
            })
        .Create(create => create.Action("EditingIsotope_Create", "Isotope"))       // "Insert"
        .Update(update => update.Action("EditingIsotope_Update", "Isotope"))
        .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("EditingIsotope_Destroy", "Isotope"))
        .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
     )
    .Pageable()
    .Sortable()
    .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
)
Controller:
namespace QT_Kendo2.Controllers
{
    public class IsotopeController : Controller
    {
        private QT_Db db = new QT_Db();

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var hlUnits = new List<string>() {"hours", "days", "weeks", "years"};
            ViewData["hlUnits"] = hlUnits;
            return View(db.Isotopes.ToList());
        }

        public ActionResult EditingCustom_Read([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
        {
            var dsr = new DataSourceResult();
            return Json(dsr);
        }

        [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
        public ActionResult EditingIsotope_Update([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, Isotope isotope)
        {
            if (isotope != null && ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                db.Entry(isotope).State = EntityState.Modified;
                db.SaveChanges();
            }
            return Json(ModelState.ToDataSourceResult());
        }

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult EditingIsotope_Destroy([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, Isotope isotope)
        {
            db.Isotopes.Remove(db.Isotopes.Find(isotope.Id));
            db.SaveChanges();
            return Json(ModelState.ToDataSourceResult());
        }

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult EditingIsotope_Create([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, Isotope isotope)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                db.Isotopes.Add(isotope);
                db.SaveChanges();
            }
            return Json(ModelState.ToDataSourceResult());
        }

EditorTemplates as seen in the demo.  Not sure how to add these to my project.  Just adding as a partial view doesn't work.
@model IEnumerable<QT_Kendo2.Models.Isotope>
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)
        .Name("HLUnitList")                                       // Name used by template?  #= HLUnitList
        .DataValueField("HalfLife_Units")               // Name of the index from the model
        .DataTextField("HLUnitList")                        // Name of the template again.
        .BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["hlUnits"])      // Bind to the list index to the string list
)

How can I expand all?

I thought I saw some code in this demo to do it, but firebug keeps returning "undefined"

Sorry if this isn't the appropriate forum.  I have several elements interacting here as you will see...

Imagine a page with a simple search form and a grid containing the results of the search.  The grid is hidden by default and only shown when needed.

I have a menu that is hidden at the top of the page.  The menu is slid in using kendo.fx().slideIn() when the user clicks a handle (similar to the SlideIn demo, but from the top).  This works perfectly until the search grid is shown.

Once the search grid is shown, it covers up the menu when the menu is also shown (see attached coveredMenu.png).  I've also attached some of the relevant HTML (see attached coveredMenuHtml.png).

Through experimentation, I've determined the following:

• IE11 and Firefox both exhibit the same behavior.  Haven't tested other browsers.
• If the menu is not slid in, everything works fine.
• By playing with paddings, I can see that the element causing the problem is the <div class="k-grid k-widget"> gird container.
• Playing with z-indexes for the grid and menu makes no difference in this behavior.

So how can I accomplish sliding the menu in without it being covered?

Hello,

I'm using the PivotGrid control with local databinding (the local data might be different, it's some kind of dynamic data so not always there will be the same fields with the same names).

For example, I receive these records where the Year field is:
- 2012
- 2009
- 2010
- 2013
- 2011

But I would like that when I add this Year field to my pivot grid I could read the data like this:
- 2009
- 2010
- 2011
- 2012
- 2013

I have tried using the dataSource sort method, etc. but I cannot achieve this.

When dataSource has only one item, widget automatically select it, but selected item in MVVM is null. I would expected that this 2 things are synchronize.
demo just click "click for selected value" button.

Hi



I’m looking for a specific functionality in gantt chart control. For example: i
have a record where <Summary> property has a "true" value and
it’s a parent container for three particular child operations. By default this
record that i've mentioned above is displaying as  a status progressbar
(percent). But despite / instead of that i’d like to see additional blank
spaces, it means a time periods where is a gap between start/end values.

I added a button on the tab. But I can see that the buttons are not compatible with tabs? Tabs became more height and the button itself does not look beautiful. Does that have to work with the kendo I should have a professional designer css ??



PS: To see problem please press "Add Tab" button on my examle.

Hi,

I have an issue with the filter row when using AngularJS.  When a full reload of the page is done then the filter row is displayed fine but when the view is loaded in (for example using ui-router), the input fields look odd and boolean columns.

See attached

I'm trying to bind kendoAutoComplete to a text element inside the editor template, which I'm doing by inlining some jquery. What I'm finding, though is that the html element appears not to have been rendered into the page at the point where the jquery is running.

So the binding doesn't work.

Is there some way i can do this via an mvvm attribute, or some other way of synchronising the javascript so that I can guarantee the html is rendered at the time when the js is running?

Cheers, Paul.

Hi
  Apologies in advance if this is documented somewhere.

Do you support Windows tablets, specifically Windows RT and Windows Pro?

I was surprised to find the menu didn't work in IE in desktop or metro mode on windows tablets without a mouse

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/menu/index

Normally you hover with the mouse to see a dropdown but clicking didn't do anything.

It seems to work on everything else, IE, FireFox, Chrome, iPad, iPhone and Android phone

thanks
