"Load More" style paging in grid?

[Ely]

Hi,

I am trying to find a good way to implement a load more paradigm for paging, where instead of the standard pager there is a load more button, which will load the next pages of data below the current page when clicked.

I have this working now by adjusting the pageSize of the datasource.  I set it to the original pageSize * number of times the load more button was clicked.  This works, but is inefficient since it pulls back records that are already loaded in the grid.  

Thanks

Hello Ely,

Unfortunately such a functionality is currently not supported. I agree that performance optimization is recommended in this case. In order to reduce the data request size (response size actualy), you can use the dataSource widget separately and send requests for the data that you need manually via the API. Then take the data and generate the required HTML markup using Kendo UI templates.

Please note that the above described implementation will lead to lack of any Grid data operations, i.e. no sorting, filtering or editing can be expected to work seamlessly.
