Updating boolean field in Kendo Grid

[Jean-Francois]

Hi,

I created an editable grid with a column containing a CheckBox using the following code : 

 columns.Bound(Function(c) c.Active).ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' #= Active ? checked='checked' : '' # />").Width("50px")

The checkbox is checked correctly when the value of the backing data is "true". However it doesn't work when I try to update this value. In other words, if I check the checkbox, the value sent to the controller is always "false".

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks a lot

Hi Jean,

 
There is such demo in our CodeLibrary about how to create a template column which displays checkboxes for a boolean value and how to change the underlying model with a single click. You can find this demo here.

Why can't you just make a checkbox column that works? Why do we have to read and use code snippets and samples from everywhere? Kendo is now quite an expensive library, and I would expect something like a CheckBoxColumn to be included for the extremely common case of a column for a boolean value.

Hi Bradly,

 
Please note that we already support checkbox as editor for boolean columns, however having a checkbox in display mode is not supported as it allows editing of the underlying model without entering edit mode which is as a custom scenario.

I would suggest to share your idea at KendoUI UserVoice to allow other users vote for it. Most voted ideas are included in next KendoUI releases.
