Kendo UI toolbar buttons - kendo-ui

Question

I am using a Kendo UI grid, which looks like this:
function refreshGrid()
{
$(".k-pager-refresh.k-link").click();
}
var editWindow;
var fields= {FullName: {type: "string"}, Email: {type: "string"}, LogCreateDate: {type: "date"}};
var gridColumns =
[{
width: 90,
command: {
name: "edit",
text: "Edit",
click: function(e) {
var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
editWindow = $("#edit").kendoWindow({
title: "Edit User",
modal: true,
visible: false,
resizable: false,
width: 800,
height: 400,
content: 'myediturl' + dataItem.ID
});
editWindow.data("kendoWindow").center().open();
return false;
}
}
},
{
width: 90,
command: {
name: "delete",
text: "Delete",
click: function(e) {
//alert(this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr")).ID);
var id = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr")).ID;
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this user?"))
{
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Action("deleteuser","admin",null, "http")' + "/" + this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr")).ID,
success: function (param) { refreshGrid(); },
async: false
});
}
return false;
}
}
},
{
field: "FullName",
title: "Full Name",
type: "string"
},
{
field: "Email",
title: "Email",
type: "string"
},
{
field: "LogCreateDate",
title: "Created",
type: "date",
template: '#= kendo.toString(LogCreateDate,"MM/dd/yyyy") #'
}];
//getSorts the columns of the grid
function getColumns() {
//Parsing the set of columns into a more digestable form
var columns = "";
for (var col in gridColumns) {
if (!!gridColumns[col].field)
{
if (columns.length > 0) {
columns += ";";
}
columns += gridColumns[col].field + "," + gridColumns[col].type;
}
}
return columns;
}
function getSorts(sortObject) {
if (!(sortObject)) {
return "";
}
//Getting the row sort object
var arr = sortObject;
if ((arr) && (arr.length == 0)) {
return "";
}
//Parsing the sort object into a more digestable form
var columnSet = getColumns();
var returnValue = "";
for (var index in arr) {
var type = "";
for (var col in gridColumns) {
if (gridColumns[col].field === arr[index].field) {
type = gridColumns[col].type;
}
}
returnValue += ((returnValue.length > 0) ? (";") : ("")) + arr[index].field + "," + (arr[index].dir === "asc") + "," + type;
}
return returnValue;
}
var grid;
$(function () {
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: {
url: "mydatasourceurl",
type: "POST",
},
parameterMap: function (data, type) {
data.filters = JSON.stringify(data.filter);
data.columns = JSON.stringify(getColumns());
data.sorts = JSON.stringify(getSorts(data.sort));
console.log(data);
return data;
}
},
schema: {
fields: fields,
data: "Data",
total: "Total"
},
pageSize: 10,
serverPaging: true,
serverFiltering: true,
serverSorting: true
},
toolbar: [{
name: "Add",
text: "Add new record",
click: function(e){console.log("foo"); return false;}
}],
height: 392,
groupable: false,
sortable: true,
filterable: true,
pageable: {
refresh: true,
pageSizes: true
},
columns: gridColumns
});
grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
});
My create toolbar action is not triggered on click. How can I resolve this problem, is Kendo UI able to handle toolbar click events? The best solution I came up with looks like this:
$(".k-button.k-button-icontext.k-grid-add").click(function () {
//If the window doesn't exist yet, we create and initialize it
if (!grids[gridContainerID].addWindow.data("kendoWindow")) {
grids[gridContainerID].addWindow.kendoWindow({
title: "Add " + entityName,
width: "60%",
height: "60%",
close: onClose,
open: onAddOpen,
content: addUrl
});
}
//Otherwise we just open it
else {
grids[gridContainerID].addWindow.data("kendoWindow").open();
}
//Centralizing and refreshing to prepare the layout
grids[gridContainerID].addWindow.data("kendoWindow").center();
grids[gridContainerID].addWindow.data("kendoWindow").refresh();
return false;
});
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Instead of using that complex selector use the one that Kendo UI creates from name:
toolbar: [
{
name: "Add",
text: "Add new record",
click: function(e){console.log("foo"); return false;}
}
],
and then:
$(".k-grid-Add", "#grid").bind("click", function (ev) {
// your code
alert("Hello");
});

In kendogrid docs here shows that there is no click configuration for grid toolbar buttons like grid.colums.commands.
To solve this problem you can reference following steps:
create a template for toolbar
<script id="grid_toolbar" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<button class="k-button" id="grid_toolbar_queryBtn">Query</button>
</script>
apply tempate to toolbar
toolbar:[{text:"",template: kendo.template($("#grid_toolbar").html())}]
add event listener to button
$("#grid_toolbar_queryBtn").click(function(e) {
console.log("[DEBUG MESSAGE] ", "query button clicked!");
});
