Make A CheckBox Default To Unchecked When Adding New Record To A Grid

[John]

When I add a new record to my grid with InLine editing enabled, the boolean columns that I have bound and are rendered as checkboxes are always checked by default.  How can I make them unchecked by default when adding a new record?

Hello John,

Generally, the checkboxes should appear unchecked:

Alternatively, you can also achieve this requirement using the Edit event handler of the grid:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#events-edit

And accessing the client-side object of the checkbox. Here are some hints:

.Events(events => events.Edit("onEdit"))

JavaScript:

Copy Code

Copy Code

function onEdit(args) {
    if (args.model.isNew() == false) {
            // textbox
            $("#ShipName").attr("readonly", true);

            // dropdownlist
            var kendoDdl = $("#ShipCountry").data("kendoDropDownList");
            kendoDdl.readonly(true);
    }
}

I hope this will prove helpful.
