Allow Kendo Grid to Have Multiple Controls in a Single Cell/Column for editing
I use the Kendo controls via the ASP.Net MVC wrapper, so my examples are in that context.

The Kendo Grid can display multiple controls in a cell via Editor Templates, but my understanding from my experiments and from Kiril's reply on this forum post (http://www.telerik.com/forums/multiple-controls-in-a-column-on-single-grid-row) is that editing these controls will not work properly.

Being able to host multiple controls in a cell gives us more options in UI design.  In my case, I am using it to group related controls and prevent the grid from being very wide.

Hello,

 

Generally each column in a Grid widget is associated with a single property from the Model that the Grid is bound to. Thus, there can be only a single editor in a cell out of the box. That editor will modify the relevant property bound to it. Having more than one editor in a cell would break the Single Responsibility Principle since a cell will edit multiple fields in the Model.

If such functionality is necessary the recommended approach is to use editor templates and manually handle their binding to the respective fields.
