Filter datasource against another datasource - kendo-ui

I'm in a situation where I have two different Kendo UI Datasources, and they both contain a field called "ID".
Datasource1
Datasource2
Now I need to to the following:
First apply filter and group to Datasource 1 (this works fine)
Then populate a listView only with the items which has an ID that is also part of Datasource2
I tried doing this with a script in the listView template, but when items are "excluded" it outputs an empty li-element.
Any ideas?

I got help from Telerik support to solve this. Here is the solution they proposed:
As there is not built-in functionality that does the functionality that you are looking for, you will need to implement it manually. First you will need to filter the dataSource then loop through the results and get the items from the second dataSource with the ID that match the one you are looking for (using the get()) method. Then you can push the items in a new dataSource that you can use to show the ListView template.
It works great.

Radzen DataGrid Custom Filtering

I am moving to Blazor and attempting to work out how to use custom filtering in Radzen's DataGrid. Here is an example of what I am looking to do (from the old app I need to migrate):
As you can see, there is a filtering section above the grid. Of course I know that Radzen has built-in filtering in the grid itself, but that doesn't help when the filter you want to apply is to a column that is not visible on the grid..
So basically: how do you filter on columns that are not in the grid? I am using OData.. if there is a way I can modify the OData filter when the search button is clicked and reload the grid, that would be helpful.
Sorry if I misunderstood you. As you said, when search button clicked you can load data from the DB by using oData filter and reload the Radzen data grid.
then just call StateHasChanged();
I worked out a solution. You can see it here: https://forum.radzen.com/t/radzen-datagrid-custom-filtering/9448/12
Basically I copied their code from /Radzen.Blazor/QueryableExtension.cs and modified the ToODataFilterString() method to use a collection of FilterDescriptor instead of RadzenGridColumn<T>.. As the name implies, it returns an OData query string.. which I use to filter the grid's data. A working example, with full source code can be found here: https://github.com/gordon-matt/Extenso/tree/develop/Demos/Demo.Extenso.AspNetCore.Blazor.OData

Kendo Grid - Customize Filter Row

there is a feature called "Filter Row" in Kendo Grid
http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/filter-row
I want to add a drop-down list instead of a text box or a number box, to the filter box. It's for filtering a column that has countries. So I want list of countries in a drop-down list. How can I do this?
It's very similar to the custom Filter Menu (http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/filter-menu-customization). I made the mistake of no using valuePrimitive: true. You might not want it in your situation but keep that in mind.
Here's a sample: http://dojo.telerik.com/OKaS
Also, the filter menu should take up the editor model of the column but it's not always what you want.
Edit
Starting from 2014 Q2 SP1, the template function now receives an object containing "datasource" and "element". In my example, you would have to change the dropdown initialization from "container.kendoDropDownList" to "container.element.kendoDropDownList". The datasource is empty in my example but I'm assuming this can be used to pass the choices to a control without requiring another datasource or to externalize your current. I have not experimented with this feature but I suggest you do before taking my sample blindly.
As Pluc mentioned earlier valuePrimitive: true will help you create a custom filter for your grid/columns to send id's to your controller, if you are not using setting this property true you will receive an Object in your controller instead of a number, the conversion will not be made automatically . This is still working as of 2019

Devexpress detail gridview events not firing

I have a master "gridview" and a detail "gridview" connected to it. The detail "gridview" does not have any columns initially, it loads data from database and it creates its columns.
For example, i'm trying to handle cellvaluechanged event, however, even if i write something in a cell of the gridview and then pressing enter, the event is not firing. What can the reason be?
In my opinion the best way to handle this is: Create a class which represent the data from your database. Let the class implement the interface INotifyPropertyChanged. Then create a BindingList with all Objects from your Database. Now use this BindingList as DataSource for your Grid. The BindingList got the Event ListChanged. This will recognize that a Property Value in your DataSource is changed if you type some new value in cell.
I think this is best practice because you are working with your DataSource and not with GridView directly.
Otherwise the event should fire for sure. If you cant use my idea send some code, maybe i can find the problem then.

DropDownList in custom Grid popup editor - filter datasource

I'm using a custom popup editor in a detail grid (several fields are using data attribute initialization).
One of the fields is a Kendo DropDownList, but I need the options in the list to be filtered based on the value of one of the fields in the currently expanded master row.
I've managed a buggy workaround by setting a global variable when a master row is expanded and then filtering the dropdownlist's datasource using a function call on the open event.
I'm sure there must be a better way to do this. Is it possible to specify a datasource filter using data attribute initialization -- I can't see anything in the docs for this.
Thanks
Missed the obvious...
I just needed to filter the datasource for the drop down list in the grid's edit event.

How to bind test data to a SketchFlow ComboBox?

I haven't been able to successfully bind some test data to a SketchFlow ComboBox. I added a sample data source and created a collection with some basic string values. There are a number of tutorials on how to bind to a ListBox in SketchFlow and that works fine, just not finding anything for a ComboBox.
One thing that caught me out a few times is that you need to have your data in "list mode" before you drag it on to the control (combo box or list box).
It seems to work as I expected, so perhaps I'm not understanding your issue correctly, but I'll give it a shot! I created a sample DataSource with a couple of strings in it, added a ComboBox to the layout root and then just dragged the Collection from the DataSource and dropped it on the ComboBox.
Keep in mind that if you drag the DataSource itself, you'll only be setting the DataContext property of the ComboBox and that's not enough to get your items to display. You also need the ItemsSource bound to the Collection of the DataSource and an ItemTemplate or a DisplayMemberPath to tell the ComboBox how to display your items.
Additionally, if you use the drag and drop method of binding, it will use the ItemTemplate approach for you, which may or may not be what you want as it will generally create a StackPanel and display all fields from the row in your Collection per item in the ComboBox. You can remove the ItemTemplate and set DisplayMemberPath to whichever field you wish to have displayed from your data source's collection.
