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! 

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())

)

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.

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]

A recent update has revealed some strange behaviour in some (not all) grids. In the attached screenshot, the javascript for the two buttons is on display inside the toolbar. If I move them out of the toolbar, the script no longer displays.

As a workaround, I have added this to CSS:

script {
	display: none !important;
}

Aligning numeric values in grids is common place and best practise.  Kendo Grid does not provide any neat functionality for this, especially in MVC where the model is strongly typed. Where a MVC grid is bound to a model, the Razor Wrapper would work better if it right aligned columns if for example type int (or other numeric types which are better to be right aligned). Where this needs not to be the case a data annotation would suit.

eg.

public class MyModel
{
   [AlignRight(false)]
   public int ProductID {get; set;}

   public int Age {get; set; } // aligned right by default in Kendo Grid because of int type
}

In the above case ProductID would be left aligned, and Age would be right (which could be the default for all integer types)

With this functionality the razor implementation could also provide an align property to override align functionality.  An AutoAlign property could provide this functionalityto auto detect from model  or not (and also allow this functionality as being off to provide backwards compatibility)

     @(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyModel>()
        .Name("grid")
        .AutoAlign(false)
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(c => c.ProductID).AlignRight(false)
            columns.Bound(c => c.Age).AlignRight(True)
        })

add a grid to a view

open the view with data bound to the grid.

First line of data is not selected.

Now i have to program the ondatabound property for a function which belongs to the grid component. Make it configurable for grids which do not need this feature or vice versa.

Hello telerik support,

recently we updated to 2023.2.718

somehow the grid column menu is not completely in german language 

How can I apply german language to the complete column menu?

Best regards

Andy

We set up a grid that auto-filters a name field to "does not contain" and the value it excludes is "[DEACTIVATED]".  This column is also filtering out records that have a null in them if this filter is set.  I had to change the datasource to return an empty string instead.
