Two edit modes on a single grid (MVC)

[Paul]

This question has been asked before:
http://www.kendoui.com/forums/kendo-ui-web/grid/editcell-method-doesnt-work-in-popup-mode.aspx

But the answer there is not acceptable because setting the grid to "InCell" requires Ajax() instead of Server() on the data source.  This breaks everything for me.  Sorting is only done on the 10 items displayed and not on the entire result set.  For 12,000 records all get passed to the client vs. the 10 records that get passed when the server handles the paging.  Templates don't work at all.

I have my grid up and running and editable in a popup window.  All is well.  I just need one drop down box for editing of one single column on the fly.  This must be possible, but I've spent two days on it, and I'm giving up.  Any ideas?

Hi Paul,

Please note that enabling "InCell" edit mode is not supported when "Server" binding is used. Also it seems that there is some misunderstanding about the "Ajax" binding (which is required in current scenario):

• Ajax binding can be configured to request data only for current page - please check the ServerOperation option.
• Each template that is available on the server is available on the client side as well - for example "Template" method equivalent is "ClientTemplate" method.

As your last question about editing of a field using DropDownList is not related to the original topic, may I kindly ask you to open a new support thread / forum post for the appropriate product? In this way it is much easier to follow and concentrate on the particular issue which usually leads to its faster resolving.

Kind Regards,
