I need to migrate an app to HTML 5 and I'm researching HTML 5 frameworks. So far I have Webix and Kendo ui as the 2 finalists.
Now, each one has something that I need to use and that is better than on the other, so, I was thinking about using both of them if possible.
So far the only related comment I have found is this Webix and KendoUI
There is one thing to consider with regard to styling - Kendo UI uses the content box model, while Webix uses the border box model.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Box_Model/Introduction_to_the_CSS_box_model
This can cause problems when nesting components from the two libraries - the ones inside may end up with broken layout due to inherited opposite box model styles.

We have a request from our designers to build tables something like this, with rows that expand to show essentially another sub-table underneath. In KendoUI documentation, this is called "Hierarchy."
We use SlickGrid v2.3 with a few additional plugins. We currently have tables with a similar row expand/collapse like this: https://mleibman.github.io/SlickGrid/examples/example5-collapsing.html . That does not allow for a completely different set of columns in the sub-table.
The question is, can this be done in SlickGrid or not?
It might be hard to do with current SlickGrid, there's no code that handles the hierarchical part itself so that would be lot of work to implement in SlickGrid. However it is implemented in Slickgrid-Universal, which is a wrapper on top of SlickGrid. You can see Example 5 and Example 6 which shows 2 types of Tree Data grids (hierarchical or parentId refs). We use it in production for a project that we have. Also note that this is not a grid within a grid, it's rather an expand/collapse the same as what you found in example5-collapsing.html, the only differences with SlickGrid is that Slickgrid-Universal has the code to deal with hierarchical data (filtering/sorting) while SlickGrid itself doesn't and also another nice to know thing is that expand/collapse is actually using data filtering behind the scene and you can see that in the total items displayed when you have the footer enabled.
Please note that I'm the author of Slickgrid-Universal and also a major contributor to SlickGrid as well
At the moment, it can't be done. In order to achieve its speed, Slickgrid enforces a fixed row height and a single scrolling canvas. It's just a different approach than used by HTML display grids.
You could put together a workaround using mutiple slickgrids or an embedded slickgrid in a group row, I suppose, but it would be messy.
One thing I have done is develop a SlickCombo, which is essentially a grid presented as a multi-column dropdown. It's a full grid and can offer editing.
That's probably as close as you'd get.
A comment: the MLeibman repo is long dead - you should be using: https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid
I want to create editable Kendo MVC grid bound to local data(some IEnumerable<>).
I found this and this. But first is only for js and second is not ediatable.
Is it possible?
I have tried all modes of Editable. But Editable() requires to specify related actions and it's impossible to prevent its execution.
As far as I know, editing is not supported with server side binding. In the past, I have used a Template column with links to edit the items. An example:
cols.Template(#<text>Edit</text>)
For this specific project, my team and I are thinking of leveraging the power of AngularJS directives and use them to build custom elements specific to our project, and use them like they were real HTML components.
For instance...
Say we have this table where each row is composed with a bunch of information that we get from a request, each row will be repeated with ng-repeat. Inside each row we will have multiple custom buttons with the same custom behavior. This button will also be used across different modules/pages on the website and not only on this specific table.
Our first thought was to use 2 directives, one for the table row and one for the button. The idea is that these are custom components/elements with custom attributes to define the custom behavior of the element. This would allow us to have a really nice modular application where each component is developed and unit-tested individually. Our HTML would also be easy to ready and understand.
Does this sound good?
Now, what about performance issues? Could we encounter big issues with this approach if, say we have a table with 100 of those rows and 5 of those buttons per row. Could this be big a problem if those rows/buttons had a couple of bindings to update information each X seconds?
The father of Angular Misko Hevery has this to say about performance and data-binding:
How does data binding work in AngularJS?
But in short like he says as long as you dont have more than 2000 data-bound items per page performance wont be an issue...
I am evaluating Kendo UI for use of it in our project. I would be using the Kendo UI JS (not the ASP.Net MVC one).
I stumbled upon a couple of things Kendo grid does not support. I just want clarification on some of the functionalities (some of the questions may sound very basic. Sorry I am just evaluating on the basis of demos provided and trying to fit in our requirement). I do not require any code but just require your help in evaluating kendo UI
Kendo Grid does not support Grouping of Headers ?
|-----------Header Master------------------|
|--Sub Header-------|-----Sub Header----|
Kendo Grid does not support Frozen Columns ?
Does Kendo Grid support multiple summary columns with custom aggregate(that would be pulled from data source and hence not calculated on client side) ? How can we achieve this ? By Customer Footer template ?
I could not find any example on the website, which shows how kendo ui grid deals with large data. say 10,000 rows ?
Answers to the questions at the current moment (28/10/2013):
Kendo Grid does not support grouped Headers ( you can search the
forums for some feasible work-arounds)
Kendo Grid does not
supported frozen-columns, however it should be implemented for the
future releases.
What is supported as footer templates is
demonstrated here.
What do you mean by larget data? If you
enable server paging only the records for a specific page will be
send to the client, so you can use it with as many records as you
want. Also check virtualization (please notice it still works
the same as a paging mechanism, so you can use it again the same way
as in a regular paging scenario)
Can anybody suggest me the possibilities to differentiate the filtered Telerik grid column with other columns. Meaning that I can provide different color scheme to differentiate the filtered column.
Thanks
Speaking as someone who has had to deal with the Telerik MVC grid in a similar manner, I will share with you my solution for doing this:
1) Run the web page that has your grid, and view the source.
2) Find out, by viewing the source, what exactly happens when the filter is turned on (i.e. an attribute change, some function being called, etc.).
3) Using jQuery, set the color scheme of that column when that event occurs.
It's rather annoying that you can't just do it using Telerik's control itself, but this should help you out.
