Web Grid UI MVC In-cell/batch edit with a bool? column I still get drop list when clicking next to checkbox.

[Doug]

So I'm using 2016.1.412 Telerik controls.  MVC Grid UI.

 

I've followed this (http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/checkbox-column-and-incell-editing) in order to get one of my boolean? columns to only show a checkbox and allow single click changes.  It works if I very carefully click on the check box.  If I click (within the cell) but next to the check box I get the drop list with the values "true, false, not set".  How do I get rid of the drop list?

 

1.columns.Bound(p => p.SendTo).Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' #= SendTo ? checked='checked':'' # class='sendtochkbx'/>")
2.  .Title(GridColumns.SendToPorzio)
3.  .Filterable(true)
4.  .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align: center;" })
5.  .Sortable(false)
6.  .Width(150)
7.  .Locked(true)
8.  .HeaderTemplate("Send To Porzio <input type='checkbox' id='masterCheckBox' onclick='checkAll(this)'/>   ");

1.$("#SpendGrid").on('click',
2.    '.sendtochkbx',
3.    function () {
4.        var checked = $(this).is(':checked');
5.        var dataItem = grid.dataItem($(this).closest('tr'));  //grid is defined earlier in code block
6.        dataItem.set('SendTo', checked);
7.    });

Hi Doug,

When you use ClientTemplate you need to ensure that you escape the hash symbols. Check out the following article for additional information on using templates.

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/templates/overview

Also, make sure that the SendTo field is defined as boolean in the Model. By default the boolean fields will have checkbox editors rendered.
