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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Hello,

 

As I explained in this post, I would like to set max-width on certain columns of a grid to force them to not becoming bigger than a certain size if there is a remaining width in the parent container. However, I do need to distribute the remaining width across other columns if they don't have max-width.

 

For example in this project https://stackblitz.com/edit/max-width-request?embed=1&file=app/app.component.ts, I want the first column which shows the ID of products would never be bigger than 15. I'm advised to leave one of the columns without setting width, so that column will occupy the remaining width and as a result the width of columns with width will be respected as max-width. However, that is not good because in big screens you will end up with a very big column while other columns are still suffering from lack of space.

 

Thanks,

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.

Elias

Hi, 

 

There is no event to cater mouse-over events for rows in k-grid. This is important if we need to perform something row specific.

Also, this is not achievable through javascript events. So it should be a feature in Kendo.

 

Thanks!

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.

Please, please, please! We have scrollBottom event. It works like a charm. Add the same event for loading prev page on scroll top in [Kendo UI for Angular Grid], plese.

Hi There,

We started using Kendo Grid extensively. We came across below requirement and confirmed with your support team that the feature is currently not available. We think this would really allow users customise their display. 

Requirement analysis:

We would be using a common wrapper class across the org. 

We will be displaying list of records from the DB, at times, there are columns which contains a JSON,  we need to use a custom template to display the JSON. I understand I can go with an if condition in the template html of grid, but, that would lead me to end up having N number of conditions since we do not have a limited such use cases, each such instance would need to be rendered with different template.

The same is the case with row editing as well, for instance, for columns which accepts a description, we want to show a custom popover which would allow the user to specify the data in the way the customer wants (rich text with lot of customisation)

 

At a high level if we nail down into steps of the behaviour

1) Columns definition will come as a JSON which would also contain a template reference for any of the columns. 

 To elaborate more, If firstName and lastName are the columns at the DB level but for grid view I want to show them as a single column.

2) The JSON we are constructing will have a type attribute which would indicate me on whether to use a user defined template or regular one.

3) Corresponding data will be a JSON with possible keys required for the template.

Could you provide an example demonstrating how to integrate the Grid with ngRx state management. 

When using KendoUI for Angular 2+, the filter value is still enabled and accepts input when "Is null" or "Is empty" is selected.

Since those selections do not require a parameter, I'd prefer the filter value to be default disabled.

 

Hello,

I would like to request a way to have the selected/unselected column menu sorted separately from the table's columns.

Here is our table which demonstrates the current behavior.

When first rendered on the page:

After re-arranging the columns:

However, it'd be nice to have the column menu sorted separately from the table's columns. Thank you.

In Version 74.0.3729.108 (official Build) (64-Bit) of chrome, a defined grid with no predefined style property does not scroll properly. 

There is a live-demo on Stackblitz at https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-b38r7s-jzsgty

 

This is a fork of the demo example from the kendo-angular-ui documentation available at

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/scroll-modes/virtual/#

In the example, the scrollable grid was defined with a height property. This does not feet to our requirements, as we need a grid component that should flex according to the outside or parent container. 

This problem occured after the update of chrome browser from 73.0.XXX to the version 74.0.3729.108

The problem is fixed when we defined a grid with a height property like [style.height.%] = “100” but according to the documentation the grid should flex automatically without this property. 

Use IE11:

1. Try to use the grids column menu for filtering

2. Click the column icon => popdown menu opens

3. Click the filter oder column icon inside the menu => nothing happens

I can't even open up your docs using IE11, it just loads forever:
