I'd like to request to be able to merge cells and column filters with the built-in API for the Kendo UI Grid.

Bug report

Reproducible with a Grid nested in the content of the tab, or loaded in the tab through AJAX.

Reproduction of the problem

Dojo example: https://dojo.telerik.com/eJuHaTan

1. Select Tab1, or click the button above the TabStrip to select the tab programmatically.
2. Try to reorder a row in the Grid in Tab1.

Current behavior

The rows cannot be reordered.

Expected/desired behavior

The rows can be reordered.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.1.412
• jQuery version: x.y
• Browser: [all]

### Bug report

The Grid columns do not expose the ClientTemplateHandler() method. It is available in Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core since version 2023.1.314.

### Reproduction of the problem

columns.Bound(p => p.IsAlwaysIncluded).ClientTemplateHandler("myColTemplate");

<script>
function myColTemplate(data) {
  return `<div>${data.IsAlwaysIncluded}</div>`
}
</script>

The ClientTemplateHandler() method must be exposed for the Grid columns.

### Environment

Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC version: 2023.1.425
* **Browser: [all]

I would like to be able to create .bindBoolColumn. I do not want extend the column itself.  I already have extensions for that.

Something like this:

GridBoundColumnBuilder<TModel> BoundBoolean<TValue>(Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression)

public  GridBoundColumnBuilder<TModel> BoundBool<TValue>(Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression)

{

     column = *place create column code here*;
     column.Width(90);
     column.clientTemplate("customtemplate");

}

In the Kendo UI for jQuery Grid, fields that are not editable are displayed as text (no input elements) in the Grid's popup editor. The MVC Grid displays all fields that are present in the view model it is bound to in its popup editor.

Implement an option to configure the editable fields, so that the behavior of the MVC Grid matches that of its Kendo UI counterpart.

When using template and no DataSource is set Grid NoRecords message is not rendered.

Reproduction of the problem

Define a 'No Records' with template similar to the following article example: https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/html-helpers/data-management/grid/templates/no-records

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Grid_Template.Controllers.GridModel>()
    .Name("Grid1")
    .NoRecords(n => n.Template("string HTML template, not centered"))
)

Current behavior

The default message for missing record is displayed: No records available.
"autoBind":false is applied to serialization

Expected/desired behavior

The message from the template is displayed: "string HTML template, not centered"

Workaround:
Add .DataSource(d => d.Ajax()) to the Grid configuration

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Grid_Template.Controllers.GridModel>()
    .Name("Grid1")
    .NoRecords(n => n.Template("string HTML template, not centered"))
        .DataSource(d => d.Ajax())

)

Bug report

Reported in: Ticket ID: 1524543. Reproducible in Chrome and Firefox. Not reproducible in Edge
Version 91.0.864.54.

Reproduction of the problem

Dojo example: https://dojo.telerik.com/iqUFarUV/3

1. Hide half of the columns (uncheck them in the column menu -> Columns)
2. Try to resize a column

Current behavior

On dragging the handle the column width automatically increases. Then if you try to decrease the width, you can't go past a certain width threshold.

Expected/desired behavior

The columns can be resized precisely, similarly to when their width is set in "px" instead of "%".

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2021.2.616
• jQuery version: x.y
• Browser: [Chrome 91, Firefox 89]

Bug report

The Kendo UI Grid's Toolbar Template UI for ASP.NET MVC documentation displays an approach used for UI for ASP.NET Core. The ClientTemplate and ClientTemplateID are not available for UI for ASP.NET MVC.

Reproduction of the problem

Please try the approach used in the documentation. It is not available for UI for ASP.NET MVC.

Expected/desired behavior

Either include the approach for UI for ASP.NET MVC, or modify the documentation.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.2.510
• jQuery version: 3.6
• Browser: all

Bug report

In the Less themes the textboxes and the other editors (e.g., NumericTextBox) in the popup of the Grid are misaligned. The rendering of the textboxes in the MVC and Core Grid is different when compared to the Kendo UI for jQuery Grid.

Reproduction of the problem

Reproducible in the Popup Editing demos (Core and MVC).

1. Click the "Edit" button in a random row.
2. Inspect the Product Name Textbox in the browser

Current behavior

The width of the TextBox does not match the width of the NumericTextBox.

The rendering differs:

<span class="k-widget k-textbox k-valid" style=""><input data-val="true" data-val-required="The Product name field is required." id="ProductName" name="ProductName" value="" data-role="textbox" aria-disabled="false" class="k-input k-valid" autocomplete="off" data-bind="value:ProductName" style="width: 100%;"></span>

vs

<input type="text" id="ProductName" name="ProductName" title="Product Name" required="required" autocomplete="off" data-bind="value:ProductName" class="k-textbox k-valid">

Expected/desired behavior

Identical rendering and alignment.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2021.2.511
• jQuery version: x.y

Hi Team,

I would like to request better integration when grouping using a viewModel.  When grouping by defining the field in the group event using a model from EF, the Grid should continue to use the viewModel instead of the model's field.   This would provide the Grid's group templates to be retained. 

Please take a look at the following gif which shows the current behavior using the viewModel's RoomLocation field vs. the model's HomeRoom.RoomLocation. 

Thank you! 

Hi Team,

I'd like to request a similar example based on the virtualization of local data demo for UI for ASP.NET MVC.  

Thank you!
