Inputs

NameTypeDefaultDescription

autoSize

boolean

false

Indicates whether the Grid columns will be resized during initialization so that they fit their headers and row content. Columns with autoSize set to false are excluded. To dynamically update the column width to match the new content, refer to this example.

cellSelected

CellSelectedFn

Defines a function that determines the selected state of a data cell. Returns an object with selected and item properties. The cell is marked as selected only if the selected property equals true.

The function is executed for each data cell and may be called more than once as part of a change detection cycle. (see example)

columnMenu

boolean | ColumnMenuSettings

false

Specifies if the column menu of the columns will be displayed (see example).

data

any[] | GridDataResult

Sets the data of the Grid. If an array is provided, the Grid automatically gets the total count (more information and example).

detailRowHeight

number

Represent the actual height of each Grid detail row (tr) element in the DOM. Required by the virtual scrolling functionality. Set the detailRowHeight option to the exact pixels as the height of the detail Grid tr element appears in the DOM.

filter

CompositeFilterDescriptor

The descriptor by which the data will be filtered (see examples).

filterable

FilterableSettings

false

Enables the filtering of the Grid columns that have their field option set.

group

GroupDescriptor[]

The descriptors by which the data will be grouped (see example).

groupable

boolean | GroupableSettings

false

If set to true, the user can group the Grid by dragging the column header cells (see example).

height

number

Defines the height (in pixels) that is used when the scrollable option of the Grid is set. To set the height of the Grid, you can also use style.height. The style.height option supports units such as px, %, em, rem, and others.

Methods

addRow

Creates a new row editor (see example).

Parameters

group

any

The FormGroup that describes the edit form. If called with a data item, it will build the FormGroup from the data item fields.

autoFitColumn

Applies the minimum possible width for the specified column, so that the whole text fits without wrapping. This method expects the Grid to be resizable. The method must be executed after the Grid is already populated with data. See example

Parameters

column

ColumnBase

autoFitColumns

Adjusts the width of the specified columns to fit the entire content, including headers, without wrapping. If no columns are specified, autoFitColumns is applied to all columns.The method must be executed after the Grid is already populated with data. See example

Parameters

columns

ColumnBase[] | QueryList<ColumnBase>

cancelCell

Closes the current cell in edit mode.

closeCell

Closes the current cell in edit mode and fires the cellClose event.

Returns

boolean

Indicates whether the edited cell was closed. A false value indicates that the cellClose event was prevented.

closeRow

Closes the editor for a given row (see example).

Parameters

index?

number

The row index that will be switched out of the edit mode. If no index is provided, it is assumed that the new item editor will be closed.

collapseGroup

Collapses a group header item for the given index. For example, 0_1 collapses the second inner group of the first master group.

This method is provided only for backwards-compatibility with legacy versions. These versions tracked the expanded group state internally using the hierarchical group index.

When a Grid is pageable, the indexes of the groups are offset by the current Grid skip.

Parameters

index

string

The underscore separated hierarchical index of the group.

collapseRow

Collapses the specified master row (see example).

This method is provided only for backwards-compatibility with legacy versions. These versions tracked the expanded state internally using the data row index.

For new development, use the kendoGridDetailsExpandBy directive or provide an isDetailExpanded callback. See Controlling the Expanded State for examples on how to control the expanded state.

Parameters

index

number

The data row index of the master row.

drawPDF

Exports the Grid element to a Drawing Group by using the kendo-grid-pdf component options. (see example).

Returns

Promise<any>

A promise that will be resolved with the Drawing Group.

editCell

Puts the cell that is specified by the table row and column in edit mode (see example).

Parameters

rowIndex

number

The data row index that will be switched in the edit mode.

column

any

The leaf column index, or the field name or the column instance that should be edited.

group?

any

The FormGroup that describes the edit form.

editRow

Switches the specified table row in the edit mode (see example).

Parameters

rowIndex

number

The data row index that will be switched in the edit mode.

group?

FormGroup<any>

The FormGroup that describes the edit form.

options?

EditRowOptions

Additional options configuring the focus target once the editor opens.

expandGroup

Expands a group header item for the given index. For example, 0_1 expands the second inner group of the first master group.

This method is provided only for backwards-compatibility with legacy versions. These versions tracked the expanded group state internally using the hierarchical group index.

When a Grid is pageable, the indexes of the groups are offset by the current Grid skip.

Parameters

index

string

The underscore separated hierarchical index of the group.

expandRow

Expands the specified master row (see example).

This method is provided only for backwards-compatibility with legacy versions. These versions tracked the expanded state internally using the data row index.

For new development, use the kendoGridDetailsExpandBy directive or provide an isDetailExpanded callback. See Controlling the Expanded State for examples on how to control the expanded state.

Parameters

index

number

The data row index of the master row.

focus

Focuses the last active or the first cell of the Grid.

Returns

NavigationCell

The focused cell.

focusCell

Focuses the cell with the specified row and column index.

The row index is based on the logical structure of the Grid and does not correspond to the data item index. Header rows are included, starting at index 0. Group headers and footers are included. The row indexing is absolute and does not change with paging.

If the Grid is configured for scrolling, including virtual scrolling, the scroll position will be updated. If the row is not present on the current page, the method will have no effect.

Parameters

rowIndex

number

The logical row index to focus. The top header row has an index 0.

colIndex

number

The column index to focus.

Returns

NavigationCell

The focused cell.

focusNextCell

Focuses the next cell, optionally wrapping to the next row.

Parameters

wrap

Returns

NavigationCell

The focused cell. If the focus is already on the last cell, returns null.

focusPrevCell

Focuses the previous cell. Optionally wraps to the previous row.

Parameters

wrap

boolean

A Boolean value which indicates if the focus will move to the next row. Defaults to true.

Returns

NavigationCell

The focused cell. If the focus is already on the first cell, returns null.
