The current Kendo UI Grid does not offer support for external form editing of Grid records.  But competing companies offer support for this already as follows: http://demos.devexpress.com/MVCxGridViewDemos/Editing/ExternalEditForm

It would be great if the Kendo UI Grid also offers this functionality.

In Kendo editor 
Add lines of text with and leave gaps in between lines
Try to copy text by selecting all text
All empty line breaks are erasing itself and left only texted lines but not empty lines
This behaviour found only in 2017 release

You can find this behaviour even in kendo edito demos

I find ButtonGroup for mobile framework very useful to desktop (classic) web application too.

Could you add this widget to web framework please?

An important configuration is to choose if have comportament like "checkboxlist" or "radiobuttonlist", and for sure its orientation, vertical or horizontal. 

I'am looking for an event like "onDeleting" in my multiselect box, so I can confirm it or not. The current "onChange"-Event triggers to late. 

It seems that the default behavior of the control is to set autocomplete="off".  When setting using the .HtmlAttributes method int he MVC wrappers and setting autocomplete to something else this setting is ignored.

I propose that the HtmlAttributes method should adhere to all settings that are passed into it.

Example using the MVC Wrappers:

html.Kendo().MaskedTextBoxFor(e).Mask(mask).HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "form-control", autocomplete = "tel-national" })

At present to get the nice kendo checkboxes you need a checkbox followed by a label, you can't do this in asp.net mvc because

@Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.IsEnabled)

renders as:

<input id="IsEnabled" type="checkbox" value="true" name="IsEnabled">
 <input type="hidden" value="false" name="IsEnabled">

The solution is to use the kendo mvc dll, or possibly just make your own, but it would be much easier if the kendo ui code could just ignore the hidden input, or if the two controls could be linked via 'for', 'data-for', 'data-whatever'

I would like the possibility to use client details templates for server bound grids (and maybe other components). That is - the main grid should be fully loaded when the page loads (without ajax requests), but the details should be loaded on demand (when clicking the > icon) via ajax.

Current Telerik MVC wizards for converting a project or creating a new Telerik project adds all possible Telerik files to the solution and also new Views under the shared folder.

As it is now, I include about FIVE Telerik script and css files in my views, but my project includes about 600 Telerik files in the /content and /script folders together. That is not ok and makes for very large and unnecessary complex solutions containing mostly unused code that makes the project difficult to overlook for an outside developer. In our company we like the solutions to only include files that are actually used and not alot of dead code.

Also, it is difficult to know which files that is possible to delete since there might be internal dependencies between kendo files.

It would be great to be given some choices in the wizards, like would you like to install everything or answer a few questions to do a custom installation. Things that are unnecessary are for example to include localization and globalization support for All possible languages even though the user specifies only German support, and also to include the files for all possible themes even though the user specifies the Metro theme. Then you could add a change project settings wizard where the theme or language or other settings could be changed. The wizard would simply change the included .js and .css files. Also the *.cshtml files in the Shared folder should be optional to install, not always included. Those are just examples, it would be great to customize the installations as much as possible.

There is No Model Binding feature available for DataTable.ToDataSourceResult() Function, Implementation of this feature makes Kendo UI much interesting.

That will make web pages load faster

Take the look and feel of the UI for IOS gauges, for instance the linear gauge, and duplicate that into a more customizable gauge tool set.

Particularly, the ability to gradient linear gauges, remove ticks and round the edges. Similar to a progress bar with a value marker.

I would like to see a separate assembly that can be referenced both on ASP.NET MVC and Application server side and that the DataSourceRequest can be transformed into a DataSourceResult on the Application server side and sent back to the website.

At the moment this is not possible due to the non-generic definitions of the DataSourceRequest and DataSourceResult classes. 

Referencing Kendo from the Application server side also requires references to System.Web and others that shouldn't be necessary.

Statically typed transport serialization should be supported, as required by WCF, Message Queuing or even Protobuf. Such transport mechanisms are required by N-Tier environments.

At the moment, if all DataSourceRequest's should be processed on a web server and propietary database licensing is in effect (ex. for MSSQL) where the cost is per port, it would end up being very costly.

The "CreateDataSourceResult" function verifies if the given DataSourceRequest "Sorts" list is empty and if the IQueryable provider is Entity Framework. If both are true, it adds a default OrderBy to the query on the first sortable property. This makes sense as EF must be ordered before skipping items.

The following statement checks the given DataSourceRequest and IQueryable:

if (!sort.Any() && queryable.Provider.IsEntityFrameworkProvider())
{...}

This leads to unwanted behavior if the query is already sorted on the server and the corresponding SortDescriptor is removed from the "Sorts" list. This is needed if we want to sort on a viewmodel property that doesn't exist on the EF model.

An additional check should be done on IQueryable to see if it is already ordered to avoid replacing the existing OrderBy with a default one.

if (!sort.Any() && queryable.Provider.IsEntityFrameworkProvider() && queryable.Expression.Type != typeof(IOrderedQueryable<TModel>))
{...}

Also add appropriate dependencies to the current package like JQuery version. So in this case the MVC would be dependent on the main Kendo package and the Kendo package would depend on JQuery.

Bug report

Bundling the Kendo js files in an ASP.NET MVC application throws a NullReferenceException error. Reproduced with versions 2024.1.319 and 2024.2.514. The bundling works without exceptions in version 2023.3.1114.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Add the following bundle to the BundleConfig.cs file:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/kendo").Include(
        "~/Scripts/kendo/2024.2.514/kendo.web.min.js",
        "~/Scripts/kendo/2024.2.514/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js"
));

Instead of kendo.web.min.js you can use kendo.all.min.js with the same result.

2. Render the scripts in the _Layout.cshtml's head element after jQuery by calling:

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/kendo")

Current behavior

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Workaround:

Use bundles.Add(new Bundle("~/bundles/kendo") instead of bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/kendo")

Expected/desired behavior

No exception is thrown when bundling the Kendo script files.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2024.2.514
• jQuery version: x.y
• Browser: [all ]

Hi
It is possible to create a form layout with navigation toolbar to navigate between records?

In windows application you can use textbox and other controls and bind this controls to datasource and use navigation toolbar to navigate between records.
Also this form layout can design for master-detail layouts with grid widget or other widgets.

Please consider adding a short-hand method to set the id of form element widgets such as:
Html.Kendo().DatePicker().Name("StartDate").Id("FormA_StartDate");

The code above looks a lot cleaner and more fluent and the one below.
Html.Kendo().DatePicker().Name("StartDate").HtmlAttributes( new { id = "FormA_StartDate"} );

This really comes in handy when building large single page application (SPA) where many entry forms are loaded onto a single page. Manually setting the Id property for widget elements help avoid potential html elements' id conflicts when we have Kendo form widgets of the same name.

Please go through this thread.

Even if we are allowed to add additionalData in the Grid's Read method, that data is not properly passed on to the corresponding ViewModel on the MVC controller action. I had to write JS using the dot notation for objects and indexer for arrays to get it passed properly.
My request is, if the additionalData is already json, allow it to be passed properly.

It would be awesome, if an automatic sanitizing of the ColumnName property would be implemented in one of the future releases of the MVC.NET.

Reason: When binding a DataTable to the MVC-Grid and using client side pagination, a Javascript error occurs if any column inside the DataTable contains a character which is not allowed in Javascript variables (like spaces).
