I would like to request additional keyboard navigation functionality with the grid.  We are using the grid as a sort of spreadsheet, for teachers to enter grades.  Teachers want to move down the column in the grid by pressing the enter key after typing each grade, in order to move their focus to the field below.  After pressing enter, the field below should be focused and editable.  When pressing enter at the bottom of the column, focus should be brought to the top of the next column.  Using shift+enter would move the focus up a row, and if at the top of a column, would bring focus to the bottom of the column to the left.

This behavior differs from the current grid keyboard navigation, I believe, in that we need the navigation to be present and the fields within each cell to be editable at the same time.  The teacher will not want to switch between navigating and editing, they want to quickly enter their scores going down the column, like a spreadsheet.

We have tried to implement this ourselves and have been mostly successful, but the area where we are having issues beyond our control is when using virtual scrolling.  As the grid swaps out its rows for the next set of data, the user's focus is moved to a different cell where we do not wish to have the focus at that point.  We have attempted to immediately move the focus back to the cell it should be in, but the user can type faster than we are able to regain control of the focus and we wind up with grades in cells where they shouldn't be.  We have tried using the pageChange event, but that occurs after the page has already changed and the focus has already been moved somewhere we don't want it.  If you have any suggestions for dealing with this in the meantime that would be most helpful.

Thank you!

In my kendo-grid I want to have a kendoGridFooterTemplate span across multiple columns the same way the kendo-grid-column-group allows you to do with the header. 

I want that "Total : " footer to start at that cell, but then continue on as needed into the other two cells to the right.

When working with kendoGridGroupBinding the collapseGroup API does not work. It would be nice if we had the ability to collapse the grid programmatically rather then having the user close all the groupings manually.

i am using Telerik Angular Editing Grid for list editing of data.one of our main requirements is to copy a cell value and multiselect cells to paste data. this requires Angular grid to provide out of the box multi cell selection mode so that upon action respective cell values get updated

Setting grid.columns[i].hidden may work to some extend, but isn't emitting columnVisibilityChange and further activities on a column set visible are not working but resulting in error, e.g. calling reorderColumn() results in:

TypeError: Cannot set property 'orderIndex' of undefined
    at GridComponent.push../node_modules/@progress/kendo-angular-grid/dist/fesm5/index.js.GridComponent.updateColumnIndices (https://localhost:4201/vendor.js:196833:43)

The grid internal method updateColumnIndices() throws an error, because it doesn't get the newly visible column from expandColumnsWithSpan() and expandedColumns.indexOf(source) is -1. 

Thus it's required to add methods like showColumn/hideColumn or setColumnVisibilty.

Hi, 

I believe it would be a great addition and simplification, if there were getOptions/setOptions methods at GridComponent to imperatively access/restore grid state (visibility, column order, sort order, filter, ...). These are also available at Kendo UI for jQuery. 
I know, all the settings may be set using *ngFor and *ngIf directives, but that approach requires a lot of attribute remapping (from component instance to template) which doesn't feel right, especially when using column templates and and a lot of grid features. 

Thank you, 
Robert

When using virtual scrolling and the data changes, then it might be desireable to programmatically scroll to top or to scroll to a row containing the data of interest.

Our application uses grouped grids but doesn’t use the built-in collapse feature. We instead hide the collapse arrow to disable the option. This leaves an empty space to the left of the parent grid label (where the collapse arrow would normally sit) and an empty column on the left side of all child grids. We’re looking for a more “official” and supported way of achieving the effect that removing ‘[group]=“groups”’ currently achieves. We’d like to minimize the amount of nonstandard code we’re introducing to our Kendo implementation as well as minimize unintended consequences of altering the grid code.

I want to display my data in multiple type of views (grid, listview ...etc). So I need to place PagerComponent outside of GridComponent

If the value "-1" is passed in as one of the values in pageSizes input for the PagerPageSizesComponent, that option should be shown as "All" and should show all rows available for the grid.

Basically whats described in this issue right here: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-angular/issues/2093

 

It would be nice if column group visibility could be toggleable via the column chooser.

 

If not, a more elegant workaround would be to indicate in the column chooser that certain columns are part of column groups. The way it is now is too clunky and unclear.

For example, I have the following column groups:

 

But the above columns show up in the column chooser like so:

 

It would be nice if the column group name was at least prepended to child columns in the column chooser to at least indicate that it's part of a group. For example, it would show as follows instead:

[x] Latest read - Time

[x] Latest read - Value

[x] Latest write - Time

[x] Latest write - Value

 

Thanks so much.

Hey Kendo Team,

 

you already have a solution in jQuery for my problem (https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-group-remove-footer-header-one-record).

Unfortunately this solution did not work in Angular.

Desirable solution would be a flag in GroupHeaderTemplate which removes header if group size is one.

Another solution could be; allow a class field in GroupHeaderTemplate, so that we can set display to none if group size is one.

 

Best regards,

Matthias

Please add a template about custom hierarchy cell template.

We have to add few icons in it and also before it and we would like to use angular native way.

Please provide a means to access the current column (its row and column indexes) through the activeCell.  

Hello,

As discussed with Martin in support ticket 1429284, some of the column values in my grid might be the same, but with different letter cases. For example, column "First Name" could have the values "Elias", "elias", and "ELIAS".

When grouping, Kendo grid grouping treats those values as 3 separate groups because its case sensitive. Our users expect those values to be grouped as 1 to avoid confusion. 

The workaround provided might affect other dependent features and make the code a bit messy.

I would appreciate it if you could add in a future version, a built in option to ignore case when grouping without changing the original displayed values.

Regards,
Elias

We are using the kendo grid for angular and are programatically showing/hiding grid columns using the "hidden" property of the column.  We would like to animate the grid columns when they show/hide so that the effect is not so jarring for the user.  Our columns are defined in angular templates.  Is there a way to animate this display?  So far I have been unsuccessful with my attempts to use angular animations, and I don't believe regular css animations will work on elements that are added to or removed from the dom.

It would be nice to have support for horizontal virtual scrolling for the Grid in cases of large number of columns. Just like the current feature for vertical scrolling, in which you can update the visible rows through a pageChange() event handler.

Currently the pager is always at the bottom of the grid. I would love to see an option to place the pager at the top and/or bottom. Without adding custom code every time I need this.
