kendo ui grid check record if null on databound - kendo-ui

Is there anyway i could check if the kendo ui grid has record on databoud?,
The following code will throw an error if the record is empty since i try to modified the edit button
function GridOnDataBound(e)
{
var innerContent = $(".k-grid-delete").html().replace("Delete", "");
$(".k-grid-delete").html(innerContent);
var grid = $('#Grid').data('kendoGrid');
if(grid != null)
{
var innerContentEdit= $(".k-grid-edit").html().replace("Edit", "");
$(".k-grid-edit").html(innerContentEdit);
}
}

Within a databound event handler, you can simply use this.dataSource.total() === 0 to check for items.
There's also an example on how to customize the default edit button here.

var noData = $('#Grid').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.data().length() == 0;
This will tell you if you have some data in your datasource. Eitherway I would suggest to use template for what you doing and do the replace in the template.

Kendo grid getKendoGrid not working with extended kendo grid

I am trying to implement Kendo Grid "SelectAll" feature for our extended Kendo grid. When "SelectAll" Column included, UI is rendering properly But, the "Select All" header checkbox click is not working. Noticed that getKendoGrid method is not working with extended Kendo grid.
Kendo.web.js....
_headerCheckboxClick: function (e) {
var that = this,
checkBox = $(e.target),
checked = checkBox.prop('checked'),
**parentGrid = checkBox.closest('.k-grid.k-widget').getKendoGrid();**
if (that !== parentGrid) {
return;
}
if (checked) {
that.select(parentGrid.items());
} else {
that.clearSelection();
}
},
You can try to use checkBox.closest('.k-grid.k-widget').data("kendoGrid") instead of getKendo* method.
that function change is name to the parameter d
o = <your_kendo_plugin_name>
d = "kendo" + o
so you should use the function kendoGrid() instead of getKendoGrid(),

Get other fields in Kendo MultiSelect Change event

I'd like to update a label on change event of the Kendo Multi Select. But the value() just gives the Id. Do you have any idea about accessing other fields of the selected value?
This is the JavaScript handler:
function change(e) {
if (e.sender.value()[0])
$("#Label").text(e.sender.value()[0]);
else
$("#Label").text('');
}
Use var value = this.dataItems(); instead, it will give you all information you need about the current selected value, and do note because it's multi select it's value may more than 1.
function onChange(e) {
var value = this.dataItems();
console.log(value[0].text);
if (value[0]){
$("#Label").text(value[0].text);
}else{
$("#Label").text('');
}
}

Kendo grid enable editing during insert, disable during edit(applicable to only one column)

I have a scenario where I have a Kendo dropdown, Kendo Datepicker as couple of columns in the grid.
On Add new record, the dropdown should be editable, on Edit mode, this drop down should be non Editable.
I have declared Grid to be Editable in declaration using
.Editable()
model.Field(p => p.CountryName).Editable(true); // where CountryName is kendo dropdown
I am trying to do on Edit this way,
function OnEdit(e) {
if (e.model.isNew() == false) {
e.model.fields["CountryName"].editable = false
}
THe behaviour I observe is Initially on load, Editable is set to true (due to cshtml declaration). When I click on Edit too, the drop down is Editable because of the page load flag that is set.
Even though OnEditmethod is executed and editable is set to false, the grid seems to have loaded before this code execution, hence editable =false is not reflected.
If I click on Edit second time, now the editable is set to false due to the previous call, Hence the dropdown is non editable as expected.
In Summary, the flag setting is not effective for the current action, but for the immediate next action. I am not sure if I have made it clear. Can you guys help?
Update - The other option I tried, during databind to the grid, I tried explicitly settign editable to false to all the grid data. My assumption here was only the loaded rows will have this field set to false. But in this case even the add new record takes Editable false.
var grid2 = $("#Gridprepayment").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.data(requiredData);
$.each(requiredData, function (i, row) {
var model = $("#Gridprepayment").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.at(i);
if (model) {
model.fields["CountryName"].editable = false;
}
});
The best way is to make the column editable .
e.g.
model.Field(d => d.CountryName).Editable(true);
and Onedit function, replace the inner html like mentioned below, for just to display it as label.
function OnEdit(e) {
e.container[0].childNodes['0'].innerHTML = e.model.CountryName;
}
Try disabling the kendo dropdown in the following manner:
function OnEdit(e) {
if (e.model.isNew() == false) {
$("#CountryName").data("kendoDropDownList").enable(false);
}
}
You can try this if you want to show the dropdownList as label in edit mode
function OnEdit(e) {
if(e.container.find("input").attr("id") === 'CountryName') {
this.closeCell();
}
}
Note: The above code was written considering "CountryName" as the id of the dropdown. Please change if the id is different.
I tried this which worked.
It's only a work around :
function OnEdit(e) {
if (e.model.isNew() == false) {
if (e.container.find("input").attr("id") === 'CountryName') {
e.container.find("td:eq(0)").html($("#CountryName").val());
}
}
}

How to dynamically update other row fields in a KendoUI grid?

In my KendoUI datasource, I have the following defined:
change: function (e) {
if (e.action === "itemchange") {
// auto-format Display As
var geoDisplay, geoUrl;
if (e.items[0].GeoState.length > 0) {
geoDisplay = e.items[0].GeoCity + ", " + e.items[0].GeoState;
} else {
geoDisplay = e.items[0].GeoCity;
}
//this.dataItem(this.select()).GeoDisplay = geoDisplay;
e.items[0].GeoCity = "updated: " + e.items[0].GeoCity; // visually updates if editing this field
e.items[0].GeoDisplay = geoDisplay; // field is not updated
}
console.log("change: " + e.action);
console.log(e);
// do something else with e
},
Essentially I want to update other fields on a row being edited based on a field's input.
In this example, GeoCity is updated. The itemchange event is fired and only the GeoCity field gets updated with the new value. However I can see from the data that the other fields' data have been updated.
I have tried doing a .sync() and a few other methods to get this to appear, but no luck so far.
Incidentally, my grid is defined within an AngularJS directive and it's onEdit event isn't what I'm looking for, as I want the events that fire when each field is updated, not the whole row.
How can I get the other fields to visually update?
I managed to solve the issue by placing the following code in the data source code:
change: function (e) {
if (e.action === "itemchange") {
// auto-format Display As
var thisRow = $("#accountGeoLocationEditorGrid tbody").find(".k-grid-edit-row");
// update geo display
if (e.field === "GeoCity" || e.field === "GeoState") {
var geoDisplay, geoUrl;
if (e.items[0].GeoState.length > 0) {
geoDisplay = e.items[0].GeoCity + ", " + e.items[0].GeoState;
} else {
geoDisplay = e.items[0].GeoCity;
}
if (e.items[0].GeoDisplay.length == 0) {
e.items[0].GeoDisplay = geoDisplay;
thisRow.find("input[name=GeoDisplay]").val(geoDisplay);
}
}
}
I was really looking for another way to do this, as I don't really want to be doing DOM lookup, etc in a defined datasource.
Other suggestions welcome.
Did you try the grid refresh() method? At the end of your changes in the change event, call this line (with your grid's correct id):
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").refresh();
I've tested this on my grid and kendo's samples and it works fine like this. You are editing the datasource but the grid is not aware of the extra changes you have done, except the cell that was edited. Calling refresh will update all the cells on the grid to reflect the datasource.

KendoUI PanelBar remember expanded items

I try implement Kendo UI PanelBar (see http://demos.kendoui.com/web/panelbar/images.html) If I open some items (Golf, Swimming) and next click to "Videos Records", I have expanded items. But when I do refresh page (click on some link), all expanded structure is lost.
On KendoUI forum I found, that I can get only possition of selected item and after reload page I must calculate all noded. Is there any way, how can I have expanded items in my situation? If do not need, I don't want to use the html frames.
Best regards,
Peter
Thank you for your answer, was very usefull. I add here code of skeleton of jQuery which remember 1 selected item now. Required add jquery.cookie.js [https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie]
function onSelect(e) {
var item = $(e.item),
index = item.parentsUntil(".k-panelbar", ".k-item").map(function () {
return $(this).index();
}).get().reverse();
index.push(item.index());
$.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex", index);
//alert(index);
}
var panel = $("#panelbar").kendoPanelBar({
select: onSelect
}).data("kendoPanelBar");
//$("button").click(function () {
// select([0, 2]);
//});
function select(position) {
var ul = panel.element;
for (var i = 0; i < position.length; i++) {
var item = ul.children().eq(position[i]);
if (i != position.length - 1) {
ul = item.children("ul");
if (!ul[0])
ul = item.children().children("ul");
panel.expand(item, false);
} else {
panel.select(item);
}
}
}
// on page ready select value from cookies
$(document).ready(function () {
if ($.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex") != null) {
//alert($.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex"));
var numbersArray = $.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex").split(',');
select(numbersArray);
}
else {
// TEST INIT MESSAGE, ON REAL USE DELETE
alert("DocumenReadyFunction: KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex IS NULL");
}
});
The opening of the panels happens on the client. When the page is refreshed, the browser will render the provided markup, which does not include any additional markup for the selected panel.
In order to accomplish this, you will need to somehow store a value indicating the opened panel. The easiest way to accomplish this would be with a cookie (either set by JavaScript or do an AJAX call to the server).
Then, when the panelBar is being rendered, it will use the value in the cookie to set the correct tab as the selected one.
You can use this block to work withe the selected. in this example, i am just expanding the panel item. You can do other things such as saving panel item in your dom for later use or may be saving it somewhere to use it later:
var panelBar = $("#importCvPanelbar").data("kendoPanelBar");
panelBar.bind("select", function(e) {
var itemId = $(e.item)[0].id;
panelBar.expand(itemId);// will expand the selected one
});
