"overload" LoadSettings

[Alex]

I need to call LoadSettings (via razor) as per a previous post; In short I need to call LoadSettings, but I also need to be able to set columns to be multi-select fitlerable.

 

How can I call LoadSettings and then do additional settings that are not yet implemented via LoadSettings? Can I overload LoadSettings in some way? Is the implementation of LoadSettings available? Is it likely to be re-implemented in the future?

Hello Alex,

I understand that your project requires using the LoadSettings configuration. However, for the time being, there is no straightforward way to do that. What I would suggest is one of the following workarounds:

1) After the Grid initialization, use the JavaScript setOptions method to set new columns with the desired configurations.

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/methods/setoptions

2) Set the column using the approach outlined in this demo:

• https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/filter-multi-checkboxes

For example:

.Columns(columns =>
{
    columns.Bound(p => p.ProductName).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Multi(true).Search(true));
    columns.Bound(p => p.UnitPrice).Width(140).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Multi(true)).Format("{0:c}");
    columns.Bound(p => p.UnitsInStock).Width(140).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Multi(true));
    columns.Bound(p => p.Discontinued).Width(100).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Multi(true));
    columns.Command(command => command.Destroy()).Width(110);
})

Furthermore, I checked the feature request, and it has small interest from our community. Thus, implementing it is not in a high priority, for now.
