Passing parameters back to the server so that a READ will get an altered data set

For example - a grid
    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<CustomerModel>()
          .Name("ExampleGrid")
          .Pageable()
          .Sortable()
          .Groupable()
          .Resizable(resize => resize.Columns(true))
          .Reorderable(reorder => reorder.Columns(true))
          .Columns(columns =>
              {
                  columns.Bound(c => c.Name);
                  columns.Bound(c => c.System).Width(190);
                  columns.Bound(c => c.Principal).Width(190);
              })
          .DataSource(s => s
              .Ajax().Read(r => r.Action("GetContacts", "Example"))
              .PageSize(15))
          )

is filled with data and then you want to - from the client JS - call READ so that the data is refreshed, but you want to send some parameters to the controller.

I've searched the web and and the best I can find is:
        var $grid = $("#ExampleGrid").data("kendoGrid");
        $grid.dataSource.read.data = viewModel;
        $grid.dataSource.read();

but, even though data is set to the correct object, the object is never sent to the server (confirmed by IE F12 Developer tools Network sniffer)

So, how do you send data back to the server when you tell the grid to read?

Is it possible? How can I do that?

3) Change the color of line joining the series and series

Kendo grid row unseleced during ajax refresh

Hi I am using Kendo Grid with autorefresh each 5 seconds, The problem is that after refresh when table is rebuild, selection of the row is lost and restoration is visible, what I mean is I can see blinking of selection during data update.In telerik extension there was an event OnRowDataBinding wich was triggerd after each row data binding and we could restore selection very nice, but here is only event DataBound and Kendo says to loop throu all items but because of that selection restoration is very visible and it looks terrible. What I could do ?function onParkedOrderGridDataBound(e) {

var data = this.dataSource.view();
var dataItem = data[0];
var tr = $parkedOrderGrid.find("[data-uid='" + dataItem.uid + "']");
AcceleratorDealingUiKendoGridCheckBoxSelector.MarkRowAsSelected(tr, true);
var $row = $(tr);
$row.addClass("k-state-selected");
}

[Solved] Title overwriting Back button

For the navbar if the title is very long it goes over the top of the back button shown on the left. How would I go about padding the title so that it wordwraps rather than going over the back button?

I've tried some style settings with out any success.

<header data-role="header">
<div data-role="navbar">
<span data-role="view-title"></span>
</div>
</header>

Thanks

How To Add a New Item at the Bottom/End of a List?

I am attempting to use a ListView to create a simple discussion board style capability. So far, so good except for one nagging problem. I can't figure out how to get a new item to appear in edit mode at the bottom/end of the list. The documentation says that .add() adds the item as the first item. I've found some reference to using the data source to add an item at the end, but even if I do that it still seems to add at the top and doesn't go into edit mode anyway.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Automatic fade out of categories

Hello,

I want to use a DataViz Chart (line chart or area chart) to display chronological data. It is necessary that the category axis covers a month from the beginning to the end. The baseUnit property will be set to "days".

The current month causes a problem: My application does not calculate any values in advance. Therefore, the chart hides all categories for dates in the future.

Is it possible to avoid this adjustment?
