open modal popup on grid header dblclick

[Saurabh]

I want to open modal popup when kendo-grid header is double clicked.I tried the following

headerAttributes: { 'ondblclick':'openPopup(event)' }

function openPopup(ev){
ev.preventDefault();
return false;
}

This way, the popup opens correctly but it also sorts the grid (default grid functionality).

Please suggest how to prevent grid from sorting when header is double clicked.

Hello Saurabh,

Such behavior could not be achieved due to sequence of firing the mouse single and double click. The single click will be fired always before the double click.

One possible solution for your case is placing a button in the headerTemplate and attach click handler with e.stopPropagation() in order to avoid sorting if the button is clicked. This way click on the button will open the popup, but not sort the column.
