Clear autocomplete value on select change event - kendo-ui

I have the following http://jsfiddle.net/TgBzB/3/ and want to clear the autocomplete field when the user has selected an item. The following code does not do this:-
$("#input").data("kendoAutoComplete").value("");
Is this possible?
//create AutoComplete UI component
$("#input").kendoAutoComplete({
dataSource: data,
filter: "startswith",
placeholder: "Select country...",
select: function(e) {
var dataItem = this.dataItem(e.item.index());
$('#list').append("<li>" + dataItem + "</li>");
//How do I clear the #input here?
$("#input").data("kendoAutoComplete").value("");
}
});

Your code clears the input, but the select event fires to early and the value is added after. What you have to do is to clear the input at change event :
$("#input").kendoAutoComplete({
dataSource: data,
filter: "startswith",
placeholder: "Select country...",
select: function(e) {
var dataItem = this.dataItem(e.item.index());
$('#list').append("<li>" + dataItem + "</li>");
},
change: function(e) {
$("#input").data("kendoAutoComplete").value("");
}
});

This is also another alternative which works just as well, instead of clearing it after a change event simply stop it from showing in first place by using e.preventDefault();
...
select: function(e) {
var dataItem = this.dataItem(e.item.index());
$('#list').append("<li>" + dataItem + "</li>");
$("#input").data("kendoAutoComplete").value("");
e.preventDefault();
}
...
Have updated the jsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/rippo/TgBzB/8/

select: function(e) {
....
e.preventDefault();
}
wont allow you to search same key word (type immediately). it will work if you type same key word character by character with giving some milliseconds time.

This works fine even if you use MVVM binding to multiselect value.
select: function(e) {
var widget = $('#widgetId').data('kendoMultiSelect');
widget.input.val('');
}

Simply Using this you can clear the auto complete
$("#autoCompleteName").val("");

How to customize kendo multi select dropdown group header

I'm trying to customize my kendo multiselect control's group header. I have checked the documentation below,
https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/grouping
no matter how I change the groupTemplat, the group always display in top right. Please check my code below,
var checkInputs = function (elements) {
elements.each(function () {
var element = $(this);
var input = element.children("input");
input.prop("checked", element.hasClass("k-state-selected"));
});
};
function initData() {
$scope.dataOptions = {
dataSource: getDataSource(),
dataTextField: "value",
itemTemplate: "<input type='checkbox'/> #:data.value# ",
groupedTemplate: "<input type='checkbox'/> #:data#",
autoClose: false,
dataBound: function () {
var items = this.ul.find("li");
setTimeout(function () {
checkInputs(items);
});
},
change: function () {
var items = this.ul.find("li");
checkInputs(items);
}
}
}
I want to implement the multi-select dropdown like the Location option in this website.
When I checked the group, then all of the items in this group should be selected.

kendo multiselect values disappear when in editor mode

I have a master-child setup and in my child grid rows, I have a multi-select that uses a list of strings as datasource. When I click to add/remove entries, the already selected items disappear completely and I can only see the drop down with all the values.
Here is the grid column definition in the child grid:
field: "Teams",
title: "Team",
editor: ChildItemEditor,
Here is the editor function that creates the multi-select:
...
var dataSource = ["Item A" , "Item B"];
...
function ChildItemEditor(container, options)
{
$('<select multiselect="multiselect" id="ddlItems" name="childItems" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '" />')
.appendTo(container)
.kendoMultiSelect({
autoBind: false,
dataSource: dataSource,
select: function (e) {
var dataItem = this.dataItem(e.item.index());
var selectedItem = this.gridMasterData.dataItem(this.gridMasterData.select());
if (selectedItem == null) {
return false;
}
options.model.Items = this.value();
$(selectedItem.Items).each(function (i, cItem) {
if (options.model.Id == cItem.Id) {
cItem.Items= options.model.Items;
selectedItem.dirty = true
}
});
},
});
}
Found the issue: When reading back data, the second field had a leading space and Multiselect did not automatically Trim the field to bind to it.

Remote update cell content in kendo grid

Here I have a code to update a cell contet when pressing a button.
It works fine, but it doesn't set the flag, that indicates, that the cell has been changed.
It should look like this with the litle red triangle:
The code:
<a id="button" href="#">Click me</a>
<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
var dataSource, grid;
$(document).ready(function () {
dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: [
{ category: "Beverages", name: "Chai", price: 18},
{ category: "Seafood", name: "Konbu", price: 6}
],
})
grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
editable: true,
}).data("kendoGrid");
$('#button').click(function (e) {
var data = grid.dataItem("tr:eq(1)");
data.set('category', 'Merchandice');
});
});
</script>
Update:
Here is the update based on #tstancin: Kendo example.
Thank you for the answer - I had thought of it to.
I am wondering if it's possible to do the update in a more clean way with some binding through som MVVM perhaps?
Kind regards from Kenneth
If that's all you want then you should expand your button click code with the following:
$('#button').click(function (e) {
var data = grid.dataItem("tr:eq(1)");
data.set('category', 'Merchandice');
$("#grid tr:eq(1) td:eq(1)").addClass("k-dirty-cell");
$("#grid tr:eq(1) td:eq(0)").prepend("<span class='k-dirty'></span>");
});
But if you, for instance, manually change the value of name column from Chai to something else, and then click the click me button, the dirty marker in the name column will disappear.
You should use flags for every cell and set them before data.set(). Then, in the grid's dataBound event you should inspect every cell's value and assign the dirty marker if it's needed. For manual changes you should handle the save event and set flags there.
I wrote a script that makes it posible to use a call like this:
SetCellData(id, columnName, value);
So with an id, a columnName and a value, I can update a value in a grid and the flag will be set on the cell.
function SetCellData(id, columnName, value) {
var dataItem = grid.dataSource.get(id);
dataItem.set(columnName, value);
var columnIndex = GetColumnIndex(columnName);
if (columnIndex > -1) {
var cell = $('tr[data-uid*="' + dataItem.uid + '"] td:eq(' + columnIndex + ')')
if (!cell.hasClass("k-dirty-cell")){
cell.prepend("<span class='k-dirty'></span>");
cell.addClass("k-dirty-cell");
}
}
}
function GetColumnIndex(columnName) {
var columns = grid.columns;
for (var i = 0; i < columns.length; i++)
if (columns[i].field == columnName)
return i;
return -1;
};
I have the code here : example

How to programmatically create a new row and put that row in edit mode in Kendo grid

In my Kendo grid I am trying to put the 'create new item' button in the header (title) of the command column instead of the toolbar. Here is part of my grid definition:
var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
columns: [{ command: { name: "edit", title: "Edit", text: { edit: "", cancel: "", update: "" } },
headerTemplate: "<a onclick ='NewItemClick()' class='k-button k-button-icontext k-create-alert' id='new-item-button' title='Click to add a new item'><div>New Item</div></a>"},
My question is: how to create a new row and put that row in edit mode in 'NewItemClick()'
There are some troublesome scope issues when you try to bind the click event in the template definition itself.
Instead, it is easier to assign the link an ID, and then bind the click event later. Notice that I've given it id=create.
headerTemplate: "<a id='create' class='k-button k-button-icontext k-create-alert' id='new-item-button' title='Click to add a new item'><div>New Item</div></a>"
Then in document ready, I bind the click event:
$("#create").click(function () {
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
if (grid) {
//this logic creates a new item in the datasource/datagrid
var dataSource = grid.dataSource;
var total = dataSource.data().length;
dataSource.insert(total, {});
dataSource.page(dataSource.totalPages());
grid.editRow(grid.tbody.children().last());
}
});
The above function creates a new row at the bottom of the grid by manipulating the datasource. Then it treats the new row as a row "edit". The action to create a new row was borrowed from OnaBai's answer here.
Here is a working jsfiddle, hope it helps.
I would like to complete on gisitgo's answer. If your datasource takes some time to update, when calling page(...), then the refresh of the grid will cancel the editor's popup. This is averted by binding the call to editRow to the "change" event :
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
if (grid) {
//this logic creates a new item in the datasource/datagrid
var dataSource = grid.dataSource;
var total = dataSource.data().length;
dataSource.insert(total, {});
dataSource.one("change", function () {
grid.editRow(grid.tbody.children().last());
});
dataSource.page(dataSource.totalPages());
}
NB: This approach will yield problems if your grid is sorted because the new row will not necessarily be at the end
I have found that issues might appear if you have multiple pages, such as the inserted row not opening up for edit.
Here is some code based on the current index of the copied row.
We also edit the row based on UID for more accuracy.
function cloneRow(e) {
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var row = grid.select();
if (row && row.length == 1) {
var data = grid.dataItem(row);
var indexInArray = $.map(grid.dataSource._data, function (obj, index)
{
if (obj.uid == data.uid)
{
return index;
}
});
var newRowDataItem = grid.dataSource.insert(indexInArray, {
CustomerId: 0,
CustomerName: null,
dirty: true
});
var newGridRow = grid.tbody.find("tr[data-uid='" + newRowDataItem.uid + "']");
grid.select(newGridRow);
grid.editRow(newGridRow);
//grid.editRow($("table[role='grid'] tbody tr:eq(0)"));
} else {
alert("Please select a row");
}
return false;
}

How to set Row data using rowid and column name in jQgrid

I've added a custom icon using below code in jqgrid Actions column. When the cutom icon is clicked, a pop up is opened with Textarea, Save and Close buttons. When I click Save button I wanted to save the text entered in textarea to a hidden field column in jQgrid. I tried 'setRowData' and 'setCell' properties but nothing works. Am I missing something here?
afterInsertRow: function (rowid, rowdata, rowelem) {
$(this).triggerHandler("afterInsertRow.jqGrid", [rowid, rowdata, rowelem]);
//...//
//Start: Code for Notes Icon in Actions column
var iCol = getColumnIndexByName(grid, 'actions');
$(this).find(">tbody>tr#" + rowid + ">td:nth-child(" + (iCol + 1) + ")")
.each(function () {
$("<div>", {
title: "Custom",
mouseover: function () {
$(this).addClass('ui-state-hover');
},
mouseout: function () {
$(this).removeClass('ui-state-hover');
},
click: function (eve) {
$("#change_dialog").dialog({
buttons: {
'Save': function () {
var selRow = $(eve.target).closest("tr.jqgrow").attr("id");
var txtNotes = $("#mytext").val();
$("#gridJQ").setRowData(selRow, { 'notesHidden': txtNotes });
$("#gridJQ").jqGrid('setCell', selRow, 'notesHidden', txtNotes);
$("#gridJQ").jqGrid('setRowData', selRow, 'notesHidden', txtNotes);
$(this).dialog("close");
},
'Close':function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
return false;
}
}
).css({ "margin-right": "5px", float: "left", cursor: "pointer" })
.addClass("ui-pg-div ui-inline-custom")
.append('<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-document"></span>')
.prependTo($(this).children("div"));
});
Instead of using this code to get the row
var selRow = $(eve.target).closest("tr.jqgrow").attr("id");
Try something a more direct such as
var selRow = $("#gridJQ").jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow');
Or even just var selRow = rowid.
Does that help at all?
