Is it possible to drag row outside kendo grid? - kendo-ui

I'm filling up the kendo grid with a couple of rows and want to implement drag/drop functionality between the grid and other html components.
I can find a lot of resources telling how to drag/drop/sort rows inside a grid, even from one grid to another grid, but nothing really for outside the grid to another component.
Does kendo ui-grid even support this?
One way I can think is - make the entire grid draggable and when drag starts get currently selected row data and use that on drop. But that's not really a very clean way to do it. I'll even need to make a custom drag image in this case.
Any other suggestions?

You can use the kendoDropTarget() method to assign another html element as the target. For example here is a grid and an HTML textarea:
<div id="grid"></div>
<textarea id="dropHere" rows="3" cols="50"></textarea>
$("#grid table tbody > tr").kendoDraggable({
group: "gridGroup",
threshold: 100,
hint: function(e) {
return $('<div class="k-grid k-widget"><table><tbody><tr>' + e.html() + '</tr></tbody></table></div>');
}
});
$("#dropHere").kendoDropTarget({
group: "gridGroup",
drop: function(e) {
e.draggable.hint.hide();
var txt = '';
$(e.draggable.element[0]).find("td").each(function(idx, td){
txt += $(td).text() + '\n';
});
e.dropTarget.text(txt);
}
});

Fully-collapsed hierarchy in Kendo UI Grid

This is the Kendo UI demo showing hierarchical data: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/hierarchy
It seems to work very well, but the first row is expanded automatically. I tried hacking around with it in their dojo, but couldn't find a way to disable that behavior.
How do I prevent rows from being automatically expanded in Kendo UI Grid?
It's because there is used expandRow method in dataBound event to expand first row. Remove it.
var element = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
....
dataBound: function() {
this.expandRow(this.tbody.find("tr.k-master-row").first());
},
....
});

kendo ui grid programatically hide and show the filterable row

I have a kendo grid with filterable = true, mode=row.
I would like a way to have a button click, fire an event that will toggle hiding and showing the filter row.
Right now, I have it working by editing the innerHTML, but this is not what I want to do in the end, for several reasons.
1) I need to have a saved version of the filter row values before they are removed.
2) After they are removed and re-added they will not work
...
many other reasons, just bad practice and there has to be a better way.
A button that fires the event: toggleFilterClick:
<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="gridFilter">
<button type="button" class="k-button" id="kendoFilterButton" data-click="toggleFilter"><span class="k-icon k-i-funnel"></span>Filter On/Off</button>
</script>
The Javascript code:
//Gets the innerHTML values before they are removed
var filterRowValues = $(".k-filter-row")[0].innerHTML;
//fired when the button is clicked
var toggleFilterClick = $('#kendoFilterButton').on("click", function () {
if ($(".k-filter-row")[0].innerHTML == '')
{
$(".k-filter-row")[0].innerHTML = filterRowValues;
}
else
{
$(".k-filter-row")[0].innerHTML = '';
}
});
Any thoughts suggestions would be appreciated/
I would just like to hide the actual filter row in the header
I'm not sure if i get the point but if you just want to hide it just simply remove everything except$(".k-filter-row").show(); and $(".k-filter-row").hide();. I create an example where when i hide the filter, the filter condtion will removed, but when it showed again the grid will refiltered with the previous value used to filter
$("#toggle").kendoButton({
click:function(){
if($(".k-filter-row").css("display") == "none"){
$(".k-filter-row").show();
//show again filter and execute previous filter condition
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.filter({field:"ShipName",operator:"contains",value:vm.get("filterOptions.ShipName").toString()});
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.filter({field:"OrderID",operator:"eq",value:vm.get("filterOptions.OrderID")});
}else{
//store the previous filter value
//autocomplete
vm.set("filterOptions.ShipName",$("input[data-role='autocomplete']").data("kendoAutoComplete").value());
vm.set("filterOptions.OrderID",$("input[data-role='numerictextbox']").data("kendoNumericTextBox").value());
//hide filter row
$(".k-filter-row").show();
//to reset filter of the grid when filterable hidden
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.filter({});
}
}
});

Have you tried just hiding the row instead of removing it?
//fired when the button is clicked
var toggleFilterClick = $('#kendoFilterButton').on("click", function () {
if ($(".k-filter-row").is(":visible")){
$(".k-filter-row").hide();
}
else{
$(".k-filter-row").show();
}
});

Is it possible (and if so how) to add an item to the column menu of a kendo UI grid?

So I have a grid and the columns have the good ol' column menu on them with the filtering/sorting/excluding of columns and it all works fine.
The fly in the ointment is that I would like to allow the user to rename a column heading and the obvious place in the UI to allow this is in said column menu.
Something like this:
(where the red bit is just another option that I click on and popup a little window to let me type in a new heading)
Is this possible and how would I do it?
I see that menus can be customized and the grid demo shows how to adjust the stuff in the filter popup but I am not sure how I would add this item (I can see how I would programmatically do the rename but just this getting an option onto the menu has me stumped).
You can use the columnMenuInit event. Two possibilities:
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
columnMenu: true,
columnMenuInit: function (e) {
var menu = e.container.find(".k-menu").data("kendoMenu");
var field = e.field;
// Option 1: use the kendoMenu API ...
menu.append({
text: "Rename"
});
// Option 2: or create custom html and append manually ..
var itemHtml = '<li id="my-id" class="k-item k-state-default" role="menuitem">' +
'<span class="k-link"><b>Manual entry</b></span></li>';
$(e.container).find("ul").append(itemHtml);
// add an event handler
menu.bind("select", function (e) {
var menuText = $(e.item).text();
if (menuText == "Rename") {
console.log("Rename for", field);
} else if (menuText === "Manual entry") {
console.log("Manual entry for", field);
}
});
}
})

I guess that the point of a filter is to filter, not to make changes on the grid.
But anyways i found this Kendo Post that may help you to achieve what you need.
You can also take a look a this one too.

Randomly placed draggable divs - organize/sort function?

Currently I have a page which on load scatters draggable divs randomly over a page using math.random
Using media queries however the page uses packery to display the same images for browser widths under 769px in a grided fashion.
I had the idea that it could be interesting to create a 'sort/organize' button which would rearrange these divs using packery and remove the draggable class already applied, however i have no idea if this is possible or how to go about it. If there is any method of animating this process that would also be a bonus!
If anyone could at the very least point me in the right direction i would be extremely thankful!!
Hopefully this gives you a bit of a starting point.
I would read up on JQuery as it has some useful helpers for DOM manipulation.
I don't think this is the most efficient way to do it, and I think you will need to rethink your test harness for doing this in the future, but hopefully this gets you started.
Firstly I've added a button to trigger the sort
<div class="rotate" id="contact">Contact</div>
<div id="logo">Andrew Ireland</div>
<button id="sort">sort</button>
Then updated the script to override the css setting to switch between draggable view and item view.
// general wait for jquery syntax
$(function(){
// trigger the layour to sort get the packery container
var container = document.querySelector('#container.packery');
var pckry = new Packery( container );
//button function
$("#sort").click(function(){
//Hide all the dragged divs
//ui-helper-hidden is a jquery ui hider class
if($('.box').css('display') == 'block') {
$('.box').css({'display':'none'});
//Show all the item class's
$('.item').css({'display':'block'});
//show the container
$('#container').css({'display':'block'});
// trigger the layour to sort
pckry.layout();
} else {
//hide all the item class's
$('.item').css({'display':'none'});
//hide the container
$('#container').css({'display':'none'});
//show the draggable box's
$('.box').css({'display':'block'});
}
});
$( ".pstn" ).draggable({ scroll: false });
$(".pstn").each(function(i,el){
var tLeft = Math.floor(Math.random()*1000),
tTop = Math.floor(Math.random()*1000);
$(el).css({position:'absolute', left: tLeft, top: tTop});
});
});
As I said this is more to get started. The packery documentation details how to trigger its layout functions so another approach would be to only have the draggable elements, and put these inside a packery container. Then when you want to sort them you can just trigger that the packery.layout() function.
I hope this is helpful, I am only just getting started on stack overflow so any feedback would be appreciated.

Set title and additional properties to kendo ui grid

I am using kendo ui grid to display data. I want to set title for the grid.Is there any way to set it.
Also I want to set some additional/custom property for grid which will help to identify the grid uniquely. Any custom property I can set to grid so I can get its value when required.
So in case if there are more instances on grid this will help.
Please suggest on this.
Iterating through all your tables can be done using:
$.each($(".k-grid"), function (idx, grid) {
// Do whatever you want to do with "grid"
...
});
If you want to add a title, might be something like:
$.each($(".k-grid"), function (idx, grid) {
$(grid).data("kendoGrid").wrapper.prepend('<div class="k-grid-header"><table><thead><tr><th class="k-header">Title</th></tr></thead></table></div>');
});
For setting a click event to the HTML img elements, you can do:
$("tr", ".k-grid").on("click", "img:first", function () {
// Here "this" is the "img" on which you clicked, finding the grid is:
var grid = $(this).closest(".k-grid").data("kendoGrid");
console.log("grid", grid);
// If you want to access the "id"
console.log("id", grid.element.attr("id"));
});
Once you click on the first image of each row what I do in the event handler is finding the closest HTML element with k-grid class (the grid): this is the HTML containing the grid.
If you want to get Kendo UI grid element the you need to use data("kendoGrid").
Simple and elegant.
In this JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/OnaBai/2qpT3/2/, if you click on "Add Titles" button you add a title to each table and if you click on "Add Handlers" and then in an image, you will get an alert with the id of the table that the image belongs to.
EDIT: If you want to iterate on every image that is in the first column, of every KendoUI grid on your document, you should do:
$.each($("td:first > img", ".k-grid table tbody > tr"), function (idx, elem) {
// "elem" is the image
console.log(idx, elem);
// associate event
$(elem).on("click", fnHandler);
});
I prefer to change the title like this:
$("#grid th[data-field=Field]").html("Title");
