Inside my kendo grid, some column is filtered with a kendo multiselect control. The control has a placeholder.
columns.Bound(p => p.ModuleName).Title("Module").Filterable(filterable => filterable.UI("moduleFilter"));
function moduleFilter(element) {
element.kendoMultiSelect({
placeholder: "Select Module",
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: {
url: "#Url.Page("Module", "ReadAll")",
data: function() {
return kendo.antiForgeryTokens();
}
}
}
}
});
}
In this filter, I have removed some default filter elements for better appearance.
function filterMenuInit(e) {
if(e.field == 'ModuleName') {
e.container.find('[title="Operator"]').remove(); //gives focus to multiselect
e.container.find('.k-filter-help-text').remove();
}
}
The problem is by doing this, the multiselect gets the focus, losing the initial placeholder. Is it possible to make the multiselect lose focus or trick the filter to give the focus to another control? I tried various ideas without success.
I am using Kendo UI v2014.1.528
Binding data in Kendo Grid like below
$("#list485").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
sortable: true,
columns: [
//Column List
]
);
It gives me a grid with "Sort" and "Add New Record" feature.
If i click on "Add New Record" button, it adds an empty record in the first row of the grid. This is fine.
But if i sort the grid on any column and then click on "Add New Record" button, the empty row for new record gets added somewhere in between the existing rows.
Can someone help me understand and fix this issue?
You can clear the sorting or filtering from the Kendo grid while clicking on the custom Add button.
I have added the Razor code
Code to add a custom Add button to catch the Javascript
.ToolBar(toolbar =>{ toolbar.Custom().Name("cmdAddRecord")
.Text("Add New Record")
.HtmlAttributes(new { #id = "cmdAddRecord" }); })
Javascript to clear the sorting and filtering.
$("#cmdAddRecord").click(function (e) {
var grid= $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");
var sorting = grid.dataSource.sort();
var filtering = grid.dataSource.filter();
if (filtering) {
grid.dataSource.filter(null);
}
if (sorting) {
grid.dataSource.sort(null);
}
grid.addRow();
e.preventDefault();
});
I am trying to change the columns collection of my Kendo grid in the below way.
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
$http.get('/api/GetGridColumns')
.success(function (data) {
grid.columns = data;
})
.error(function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
This is changing the column collection but not reflecting immediately in my grid. But when I try to perform some actions in the grid (like grouping), then my new column set is appearing.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.

You can do it by setting the KendoUI datasource, destroy the grid, and rebuild it
$("#load").click(function () {
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var dataSource = grid.dataSource;
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/Load",
success: function (state) {
state = JSON.parse(state);
var options = grid.options;
options.columns = state.columns;
options.dataSource.page = state.page;
options.dataSource.pageSize = state.pageSize;
options.dataSource.sort = state.sort;
options.dataSource.filter = state.filter;
options.dataSource.group = state.group;
grid.destroy();
$("#grid")
.empty()
.kendoGrid(options);
}
});
});
here you can just do this :
var options = grid.options;
options.columns = state.columns;
where you can retrieve the columns in a session or in a db
This jsfiddle - Kendo UI grid dynamic columns can help you - using kendo.observable.
var columns = data;
var configuration = {
editable: true,
sortable: true,
scrollable: false,
columns: columns //set the columns here
};
var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid(configuration).data("kendoGrid");
kendo.bind($('#example'), viewModel); //viewModel will be data as in jsfiddle
For the ones who are using Kendo and Angular together, here is a solution that worked for me:
The idea is to use the k-rebind directive. From the docs:
Widget Update upon Option Changes
You can update a widget from controller. Use the special k-rebind attribute to create a widget which automatically updates when some scope variable changes. This option will destroy the original widget and will recreate it using the changed options.
Apart from setting the array of columns in the GridOptions as we normally do, we have to hold a reference to it:
vm.gridOptions = { ... };
vm.gridColumns = [{...}, ... ,{...}];
vm.gridOptions.columns = vm.gridColumns;
and then pass that variable to the k-rebind directive:
<div kendo-grid="vm.grid" options="vm.gridOptions" k-rebind="vm.gridColumns">
</div>
And that's it when you are binding the grid to remote data (OData in my case). Now you can add or remove elements to/from the array of columns. The grid is going to query for the data again after it is recreated.
When binding the Grid to local data (local array of objects), we have to somehow postpone the binding of the data until the widget is recreated. What worked for me (maybe there is a cleaner solution to this) is to use the $timeout service:
vm.gridColumns.push({ ... });
vm.$timeout(function () {
vm.gridOptions.dataSource.data(vm.myArrayOfObjects);
}, 0);
This has been tested using AngularJS v1.5.0 and Kendo UI v2016.1.226.
I'm use this code for change columns dynamic:
kendo.data.binders.widget.columns = kendo.data.Binder.extend({
refresh: function () {
var value = this.bindings["columns"].get();
this.element.setOptions({ columns: value.toJSON });
this.element._columns(value.toJSON());
this.element._templates();
this.element.thead.empty();
this.element._thead();
this.element._renderContent(this.element.dataSource.view());
}
});

Refresh your grid
.success(function (data) {
grid.columns = data;
grid.refresh();
})
Here is what i use
var columns = [];//add the columns here
var grid = $('#grid').data('kendoGrid');
grid.setOptions({ columns: columns });
grid._columns(columns);
grid._templates();
grid.thead.empty();
grid._thead();
grid._renderContent(grid.dataSource.view());
I think a solution for what you are asking is to call the equivalent remote DataSource.read() method inside of the function. This is what I used to change the number of columns dynamically for local js data.
$("#numOfValues").change(function () {
var columnsConfig = [];
columnsConfig.push({ field: "item", title: "Metric" });
// Dynamically assign number of value columns
for (var i = 1; i <= $(this).val(); i++) {
columnsConfig.push({ field: ("value" + i), title: ("201" + i) });
}
columnsConfig.push({ field: "target", title: "Target" });
columnsConfig.push({ command: "destroy", title: "" });
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").setOptions({
columns: columnsConfig
});
columnDataSource.read(); // This is what reloads the data
});
Refresh the grid
$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh();
Instead of looping through all the elements. we can remove all the data in the grid by using a single statement
$("#Grid").data('kendoGrid').dataSource.data([]);
If your grid is simple and you don't need to configure special column-specific settings, then you can simply omit the columns argument, as suggested in the API reference.
Use autogenerated columns (i.e. do not set any column settings)
... and ....
If this [column] setting is not specified the grid will create a column for every field of the data item.
var newDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({data: dataSource}); $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").setDataSource(newDataSource);
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
After fighting this for a day and seeing hints in this thread that Kendo had simplified this problem, I discovered you can just use setOptions with a single property.
.success(function (data) {
grid.setOptions({
columns: data,
});
})
Grid Set Options
I have a kendo grid,and treeview with checkboxes in my application.I want to filter the grid based on treeview checkbox selection,i tried this one but its not working properly
my treeview code is
$("#treeview").on("change", function (e) {
var ds = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;
ds.filter([
{"logic":"or",
"filters":[
{
"field":"OrderId",
"operator":"eq",
}
]} ]);
});
my fiddle is http://jsfiddle.net/RHh67/66/
In treeview on change event you need to catch the checked nodes,and then filter the grid datasource based on your condition with field,operator and value of the treeview selected node.
$("#treeview").on("change", function (e) {
var selected = $('#treeview :checked').closest('li');
var ds = grid.dataSource;
var filter = {
logic : "or",
filters: []
};
This is the updated fiddle:

Cheers,
Happy coding
I have a kendo treeview i use this function to bind event change
change: function (e) {
if (e.field == "checked") {
gatherStates(e.items);
alert(e.items);
}
}
If i want to know the 'dad node'(the node that contain the selected child) of the selected child?
You can get the parent node from e.node:
tree.dataSource.bind("change", function (e) {
if (e.field == "checked") {
var node = e.items[0];
console.log("node", node.text);
console.log("parent", e.node.text);
}
});
Example here (http://jsfiddle.net/OnaBai/ECnef/)
i have a same kind of issue with kendo treeview checkboxes in IE8
jQuery("#treeview").kendoTreeView({
dataSource: ss,
dataTextField: ["ss_"],
checkboxes: {
checkChildren: true
},
select: function (e) {
jQuery(e.node).find("input")[0].click();
}
});
var treeview = jQuery("#treeview").data("kendoTreeView");
treeview.expand(".k-item");
treeview.dataSource.bind("change", onCheckboxClicked);
selecting the text of checkbox fires the select event of treeview and in this event i click the checkbox manually (my requirements)...which in turn fires change event of data source in IE-9. But it doesn't fire the change event of datasource in IE-8. What is the issue?
Thanks
