Passing arguments from grid event

[Kai]

Is there a way to pass parameters from the grid Events
Can I do something like

.Events(evt=>evt.DataBound("FindNull, MyGridName"))

Hi Kai,

 
Currently sending additional parameters to the event handler is not supported, however please note that
in the handler you can access the caller by using the "this" keyword:

function dataBoundEvent(e) {
    var gridSender = this;
    //Your custom code here
}

Kind Regards,

It's rather atrocious that Telerik still hasn't supported passing additional parameters in the event handler 5 years later - but it turns out that there's a simple workaround, kindly identified by a Sergey T on Stackoverflow, which works well and isn't too fragile:

-----------------------
I would suggest passing the target grid id as an argument to your function. Example: .Events(events => events.Error("function(args){telerikGridAraxErrorhandler(args,'myGridId');}"))
-----------------------

In other words, rather than passing a string containing the error handling function name, pass a string containing a closure which is called by the Telerik control, and which in turn calls your event handler with your additional parameter(s), which is 'myGridId' in the above example.
