Ivan,

The changes to the OptionLabel is what made this all work

• .OptionLabel(new { Name = "Select PO ...", ID = "" })

However I’m now having problems with the DropDown within a Popup Editor.

In the Popup editor I have several dropdowns. Each dropdown would normally have the selected values visible but in the new version of Kendo the values are not visible but if I click on the dropdown my selected values are all highlighted. If I then click on another field within the popup the dropdown selected value is now visible.

Here is my dropdown code:

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)
    .Name("SoType")
    .DataTextField("Text")
    .DataValueField("Value")
    .AutoBind(false)
    .Events(e => e.Change("onPrioritySelect"))
    .BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>()
    {
        new SelectListItem()
        {
            Text = "SO",
            Value = "SO"
        },
        new SelectListItem()
        {
            Text = "HMS",
            Value = "HMS"
        }
    })
)

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)
    .Name("PreTerms")
    .DataTextField("Name")
    .DataValueField("ID")
    .AutoBind(false)
            .Events(e => e.Change("onPreOrderTermsSelect"))
        .DataSource(source =>
        {
            source.Read(read =>
            {
                read.Action("GetTerms", "Home");
            })
            .ServerFiltering(true);

        })
)

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)

    .Name("PreCarrier")

    .DataTextField("Name")

    .DataValueField("ID")

    .AutoBind(false)

    .Events(e => e.Change("onPreOrderCarrierSelect"))

        .DataSource(source =>

        {

            source.Read(read =>

            {

                read.Action("GetCarrier", "Home");

            })

            .ServerFiltering(true);

        })

)

Here is my Grid Code:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.OrderLines)

       .Name("OrderGrid")

       .Columns(columns =>

       {

              columns.Bound(p => p.PlanId).Width("5%").Title("Plan Id");

              columns.Bound(p => p.PO).Title("Customer PO").Width("13%");

              columns.Bound(p => p.PartNumber).Title("Part").Width("13%");

              columns.Bound(p => p.Quantity).Title("Qty").Width("10 %").Format("{0:n0}");

              columns.Bound(p => p.Price).Format("{0:c4}").Width("10%").Title("Price");

              columns.Bound(p => p.SoType).Width("5%").Title("Priority");

              columns.Bound(p => p.SO_Status).Width("10%").Title("Status");

              columns.Bound(p => p.Order_No).Width("10%").Title("Order #");

              columns.Bound(p => p.Id).Width("9%").Title("Id #");

              columns.Bound(p => p.chkClear).Width("5%").Filterable(false).Title("");

              columns.Command(command => { command.Edit().Text(" "); }).Title("").Width("5%");

              columns.Bound(p => p.PickNote).Hidden(true);

              columns.Bound(p => p.PackNote).Hidden(true);

              columns.Bound(p => p.FreightCarrier).Hidden(true);

              columns.Bound(p => p.Term).Hidden(true);

              columns.Bound(p => p.Date).Hidden(true);

       })

       .AutoBind(false)

       .Sortable()

       .Selectable(selectable => selectable

       .Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single).Type(GridSelectionType.Row)

       )

       .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

              .Ajax()

              .Model(model => model.Id(p => p.Id))

              .Events(events => { events.Error("error_handler").RequestEnd("availQty"); })

              .Read(read => read.Action("GetOrders", "Home").Data("onOrderGridLoad"))

              .Update(update => update.Action("Update_PreOrder", "Report"))

       )

       .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).Window(w => w.Title("Pre-Order Editor")))

       .Events(e => e.DataBound("orderGridDatabound").Cancel("onCancelPreOrder").Edit("onEditPreOrder"))

)

Attached are two images of how the popup window look like when opened and then when I clicked on the Priority dropdown without making a selection.

Thanks
