Select single row without command column in Kendo Grid - kendo-ui

I have used Kendo grid, I need to select a row without command columns.
Here is my code..
var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: grid,
height: 450,
sortable: true,
selectable: "row",
columns: [
{ field: "user" },
{ field: "subject" },
{ field: "status" },
{ command: ["Update"], title: "Subscribe" },
{ command: ["destroy "], title: "Delete"}
]
});
In UI I want to select user, subject, status only.

Not possible out-of-the box, however when you use the select() method you will receive only the data cells.
If you need it really badly you might use the change event of the Grid and search for selected command cells to remove their k-state-selected class.

How to Make Column in Kendo Grid Not Removable in Column Menu

I have a column that I want always to be rendered in the grid, but I have other columns that I want to allow users to toggle on and off. I'm struggling to find a setting on the kendo-grid-column component that would remove it as an option.
I want to remove the "Actions" column from the column menu. I've tried editable false, locked, etc not finding something that will remove it from the column selector options.
<kendo-grid-column
[width]="200"
[columnMenu]="false"
[resizable]="false"
[editable]="false"
id="actions-col"
field="actions"
title="Actions"
>
I don't know any property that will allow to do this directly. However, you can still use the columnMenuInit event to hide some menu items:
columnMenuInit(e) {
//Hides the ShipCountry column
//HiddenMenuItem set display: none!important
e.container.find('li.k-columns-item').find('input[data-field="ShipCountry"]').closest("li").addClass("HiddenMenuItem");
}
In this example, I can't use CSS display none directly because Kendo will overwrite it and we can't remove it from the DOM since the grid will raise an error if it can't find it... so that's why I'm using the HiddenMenuItem class.
Define menu inside column object and set it to false:
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
columns: [
{ field: "id", menu: false },
{ field: "name", menu: false },
{ field: "age" }
],
columnMenu: true,
dataSource: [
{ id: 1, name: "Jane Doe", age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: "John Doe", age: 33 }
]
});

Dynamic filter in Kendo Grid

Is it possible to call an API while typing filters in kendo grid or can we add pagination in filters itself.
We have around 5000000 filters,and we are populating data for only 5 filters,If the user wants any other filter,he can type in kendo text box and then we can make api call and show data for all related filters.
I am trying keydown event,but this will close grid and user need to enter again
Sample :
$('body').on('keydown', '.k-textbox','#grid' ,function (event) {
var grid=$('#grid').data("kendoGrid");
grid.setOptions({
columns: [{
field: "ProductName",
title: "Product Name",
filterable: {
mode: "menu,row",
multi: true, search: true,
dataSource:
[{ "ProductName": "abc" }, { "ProductName": "bh" }, { "ProductName": "li" }]
}}]
});

Kendo for Jquery static drop down showing up as "undefined" in grid

I have an existing grid creating in Kendo UI for Jquery. I want to put a static drop down/select box in the first field/cell of the grid on each row. When I do it shows up as "undefined".
Most of the examples I see on her and the Telerik site use an editor. In my case the drop down is static. Once they click on an item they will be redirect to another page to do something. At the moment I just want to get the drop down to show up with hard coded options.
jQuery(function($){
"use strict";
var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid(){
....
columns: [{
field: "my_links",
title: "My Links",
template: "#=getMyLinks(DATA.user_id)#"
},{
....
}_.data("kendoGrid");
function setGridData(){
....
});
grid.setDataSource(dataSource);
}
setGridData();
});
function getMyLinks(user_id){
$('<input id="my_links" name="my_links/>')
.kendoDropDownList{[
dataSource: [
{ id: 1, name: "View" },
{ id: 2, name: "Create },
{ id: 3, name: "Delete"}
],
dataTextField: "name",
dataValueField: "id"
});
}
I would expect a drop down in the
You should provide DOM element for drop down widget in columns.template field and then initialize all widgets in dataBound event.
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
columns: [{
field: "my_links",
title: "My Links",
template: "<input id="my_links" name="my_links/>"
}],
dataBound: function (){
getMyLinks(DATA.user_id);
}
}).data("kendoGrid");

Kendo Grid - Make a cell editable/uneditable for each row dynamically

I have a Kendo Grid where the COR ABA No. may or may not be editable, depending on a value in the first column. So, if NOC Code=='C01', then COR ABA No. is editable, otherwise it is not.
I have achieved this by adding the Edit event on the columns and in that edit handler disabling the HTML input Kendo creates, when no editing is allowed. (In the grid definition, I have Editable(true) to start). I want instead to do this by doing the logic check in the DataBound event for the grid. That is, after all data is bound, iterate over the data, determine when the column should NOT be editable, and prevent this somehow. My idea is to simply remove the click handler that I ASSUME Kendo adds for a cell when using Editable(true) as stated above. Is this the way? Or how? Thanks!
I suggest another way, instead call closeCell() on edit event, if you do not want to allow the user to edit the cell. In doing so, the cell will not display an input when the user clicks it to edit it.
<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
columns: [
{ field: "id" },
{ field: "name" },
{ field: "age" }
],
dataSource: {
data: [
{ id: 1, name: "Jane Doe", age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: "John Doe", age: 33 }
],
schema: {
model: {
id: "id",
fields: {
"id": { type: "number" }
}
}
}
},
editable: "incell",
toolbar:["create"],
edit: function(e) {
if (!e.model.isNew() && e.container.index() == 0) {
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
grid.closeCell();
}
}
});

How to exclude a kendo grid field that is not in the datasource, from the editor?

First, I know how to exclude a field by marking it 'editable: false' in the kendo data source.
I added a column with a button to the Kendo UI grid to open a window for a file upload. This column is not in the datasource! However, the column is now also displayed in the popup editor as a tetxtbox with 'File Upload' as a label (that is the column header name also as you can see in the screenshot).
How can I exclude/hide this column in the popup editor?
I am using Kendo UI version: "2014.2.716"
Thanks for your help!
Here is how I added the column to the grid, see the last line:
columns: [
{ field: "Id", hidden: true },
{ field: "Name", title: ........ },
{ field: "EnteredBy", title: "Entered by", hidden: true },
{ field: "UpdatedOn", type: "date",.....},
{ field: "UpdatedBy", title: "......},
{ command: ["edit", "destroy"], title: "Action", width: "80px" },
{ field: "Upload", title: "File Upload", width: "80px", template: '<button class="k-button" onClick="uploadFiles(#=Id#)">Upload<br/>Files</button>' }
],
and here is a screenshot that shows the column 'File Upload' with the button 'Upload File' in each cell in the grid-column.
This is the screenshot from the popup editor with the field that I would like to hide.
I think you should make that extra column a custom command instead of specifying a "field" for it.
Something like:
columns: [
...
{
command: { text: "Upload", click: uploadFiles},
title: "File Upload",
width: "80px"
}
]
The uploadFiles function would then get passed a click event, from which it can get to the element that was clicked. You can add a data-id attribute to the row to get its Id from in the uploadFiles function, as they do in the demo linked above.
