I need to perform an action on my page when the KendoUI grid has been collapsed. I know that the dataBound event fires when the grid is grouped however this event is fired when the grid loads or gets sorted as well. Within my onDataBound event handler how can I tell if the grid is in a grouped state or not.
On DataBound event you can check if the grid currently is grouped using the DataSource group method:
function onDataBound(e) {
gridDataSource = e.sender.dataSource;
if (gridDataSource.group().length > 0) {
//the grid is grouped
debugger;
}
}
To get notified when a group is collapsed you can use delegate event such as:
$('#gridName tbody').on('click','.k-i-collapse',function(){
console.log('Group collapsed!')
})

I have a dependent column that needs to be editable based on value of the first cell. How can do this using the beforeedit event of kendo grid.
I wish to avoid closing the cell in edit event of kendo grid.
Below is a sample
https://dojo.telerik.com/enodEwub
In order to achieve this when "Inline" edit mode is used you can use the Grid's cancelRow() method.
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
//....
edit: onEdit
});
function onEdit(e) {
//your custom logic
$('#grid').data("kendoGrid").cancelRow();
}
Hope that helps!
I'm using kendo ui grid and I want to bind onBlur event on the row. I'm using the code below:
$('#grid').on('blur', 'tr.k-state-selected', function (e) {
var grid = gridControl.data('kendoGrid')
,cell = grid.select()
,selectedItem = grid.dataItem(cell);
console.log(selectedItem);
});
My problem is, the onBlur event is also firing when I select a cell in the same row. I don't want to fire the onBlur event when I navigate on the cell within the same row. What I need is to only fire the onBlur event when I lost focus on the row.
I have a grid that has child grid for each item, when i add a new item to the main grid, there is a stub for the child (with the toolbar etc and an empty grid for the child), I would like to hide the child grid when adding new one, i know i need the edit event, i just dont know how to get reference to the detailgrid for the item that the row was just created for input.
edit event has e.sender, e.container, e.model, first 2 reference the main grid of course as the event is raised by the main grid
The required behavior is not supported out of the box, however you can for example attach click event handler to the expanding arrows in the Grid. In the event handler you can prevent the expanding if current model is new. Please check the example below:
//Change Employees with your grid name
//the grid should have model ID defined
$("#Employees table").on("click", ".k-hierarchy-cell a", function (e) {
dataItem = $("#Employees").data("kendoGrid").dataItem($(e.srcElement).closest("tr"));
//check if is new record
if (dataItem.isNew()) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
})
UPDATE (as requested): The above code should be executed in script tag (wrapped in document "ready" event handler) which is placed just after the Grid initialization code.
Is the dataSource.changed event working?
After my Kendo UI grid is instantiated, I am binding the change event per the documentation here:
http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/datasource#change
//To set after initialization
dataSource.bind("change", function(e) {
// handle event
});
I am doing this:
// initialize
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
blah blah blah
)
});
// end of initialization
// bind afterwards
var grid = $('#grid').data('kendoGrid');
grid.dataSource.bind("change", function (e) {
dataChanged();
});
//also tried a setTimeout:
// bind afterwards
setTimeout(function () {
var grid = $('#grid').data('kendoGrid');
grid.dataSource.bind("change", function (e) {
dataChanged();
});
}, 350);
function dataChanged() {
// handle "change" whatever that means -- documentation definition is hazy
// does reassigning the data array constitute a change?
// does changing the value of a particular item in the data array
// constitute a change?
// does removing an item from the data array constitute a change?
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
grid.refresh();
}
But my dataChanged() function is not called when I do either of these things:
var grid = $('#grid').data('kendoGrid');
grid.dataSource.data()[1]["deptname"] = 'XXX';
or
grid.dataSource.data = aDifferentArray;
I am not sure exactly what the 'changed' event is listening for. What, precisely, is supposed to trigger it?
If I create a completely new dataSource, and assign it to the grid that already has a dataSource, I don't see how that would trigger an existing data source's changed event. Such an event (the grid noticing that its dataSource has been replaced with a different one) would be a grid-level event, not a dataSource-level event, right?
The important thing to note is that the data backing the DataSource is an ObservableArray, and that the data items in that array are converted to ObservableObjects.
The change event of the datasource is fired under 2 conditions:
The data ObservableArray changes (a record is inserted, deleted). An example of this would be using the DataSource.add() or DataSource.remove() functions.
If a property changed event bubbles up to the DataSource from one of the ObservableData objects in the array. However, just like the rest of the Kendo MVVM framework, the notification that a property changed only occurs when its .set("propertyName", value) function is called.
This is why grid.dataSource.data()[1]["deptname"] = 'XXX'; is not triggering the change event. If you change it to: grid.dataSource.data()[1].set("deptname", 'XXX'); then it should start to work. Basically, think of the change event as being fired in response to an MVVM property change fired from the data observable object.
As for changing the data array grid.dataSource.data = aDifferentArray; I'm actually not sure if that will or should trigger a change. I've never tried that.
Can anyone please tell how to get the click event of an empty grid.
i have an empty grid, and after inserting i need to refresh the grid for that i use a right click menu in the grid.
So at first there will be no data and need a click event of the grid,
Thanks,
Devan
It seems to me that you should trigger 'reloadGrid' after the filling of the grid.
If you do need implement 'click' or 'right click' event handler to the whole grid and not only the grid body you can use gbox div which will be constructed by jqGrid and which includes all jqGrid elements (see here for details):
var myGrid = $("#list");
// ...
$('#gbox_'+myGrid[0].id).click(function(e) {
alert("click!");
}).bind('contextmenu', function(e) {
alert("right click!");
});
See the corresponding demo here.
