hello 
i`m always using kendo grid in my project
but i can`t import excel to kendo grid 
please make it possible to import excel file and select specific sheet to kendo grid

We would like to have the possibilty to create custom implementation of grid columns (or any other control/component). Because we also have this in our WPF projects and it was very useful to minimize the redundant code and also the "initialization code". This can't be done in a simple template, for example we need to inject services and get data etc..

Example:
In our WPF project have lots of different grids with values related to units. The cell can convert this unit to and other unit itself, it can localize the texts, it shows the information in some kind of "progress bar", has a tooltip, etc... And all we have to do in the code is to set a column like this <custom-column valueField="test" unitField="test2" />.

It would be great to have this feature in the Angular 2 grid as well.

Since column reordering is now avaialble, could you implement a way to set column index as an Input property, so it can be saved and loaded later?

Current behavior
The grid component already has the functionality to resize and reorder columns by the user, but is missing functionality for saving an restoring columns configuration, so that changes done by the user are lost after a page change.

There is the Persist the State article in the "How to section" in the documentation, but the described solution is only applicable when adding grid columns by using *ngFor. When defining columns in the markup, due to extensive usage of templates (kendoGridColumnMenuTemplate, kendoGridFilterMenuTemplate, kendoGridCellTemplate, ..), there is no reasonable solution available.

Expected behavior
Provide methods, similar to the jQuery grid, to save and restore columns configuration. This should at least include the column's order, width and sort.

PS: This is not a duplicate of the feature request Add persistent state for grid (and other components). The latter one has been marked as "Completed" but does not include the needed functionality.

Refresh button like the one in the jQuery version
 http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/index

Example:
<ng-template kendoPagerTemplate>
     <kendo-pager-refresh-button (onRefresh)="refreshGrid()"></kendo-pager-refresh-button>
</ng-template>

In a Kendo grid, Angular/MVC/JS/Whatever;
When using multi check filter.
----
Only show those values that are still useful to filter on!!!
---

When filtering is done(one to many columns) - ONLY the remaining options should be seen when setting the NEXT filter (not all possible values in the database) of course distinct and sorted

(the grid could have an option of doing it this way or the old way)
 

example:

let's say we have 5 numbers of categories, each category have 20 different details.

when filtering is set on one category, then when filtering on details - only the 20 remaining details should be seen, not 100(5*20)

and vice verse, if filtering one detail - only one category should be seen when filtering on category.

Once in a while, I try out a new Version to see, whether performance has improved. and constantly, I find that this is not the case.
The best treeshaking technique from Angular is spoilt by KendoUI components because of all the millions of bytes of script code that get downloaded by your components and lead to a desastrous client experience!
Optimization would be as simple as a good redesign. I wonder, why this still did not happen over the last year!

Hi ,

I would like to vote for this .

Just like KendoUI supports offline datasource sync.

Support for showing and hiding rows in angular grid

Scroll position is lost when navigating between routes. A way to set scroll position on the grid would be nice for navigating to a previous route.

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.

hi guys,
We are debating between ag-grid for Kendo ui angular 2....what better to use?
1. Does Kendo UI grid supports RTL (Right To Left)?
2.How to implement expandable row In ag grid angular 2 ?
3. How to implement paging  In ag grid angular 2

Currently the filterCellTemplate is ignored for commnand column. It would be a handy feature if one could specify also content of filter cell for command column so in case filtering is enabled we could for example provide some suctom additional functionaly/content in that column (for example i wanted to add there a button that would reset all filters)

The group panel on the grid should be configurable to be hidden

Implement "Shift + Arrow Keys  adds the row which holds the focused cell to the selection (only for selection mode "multiple")", explained here (https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/keyboard-navigation)

I am honestly quite surprised that this isn't possible... if anyone has a workaround to make this happen it would be much appreciated. All I want to do is make the grid headers go 'Vertically' and have each 'row' become a column.

Requested for Kendo UI originally, seems to be common scenario:

http://www.telerik.com/forums/automatically-hide-a-column-when-a-user-drags-it-up-to-be-a-group-header

Please make the grid selection cancelable.

In the jQuery version of the Angular Grid, it was possible to add row templates to a grid which was useful because you could set attributes directly to the tr.

In my case, I have a scenario where I want to add a title attribute for tooltips for the whole row, not just individual cells. 

I can provide a function for rowClasses, which is great, but it would be nice if there was a similar function I could use to add other attributes as well directly to the tr.

At the moment my work around is to add the title to every column individually, but that's not ideal as it affects the positioning of the tooltip etc
