global option for grid colums that sets the format of number editor ui

When navigating grid in Batch Edit mode using the keyboard, the delete button in the command column is triggered by pressing Enter twice. Once to toggle the cell editable and again to fire the button event. This behavior can be observed in the batch edit demo. It would be preferable to automatically toggle the button active upon entering the cell so the user only needs to click Enter once. This could either be new default behavior or an optional event 

In you web site we used the Html.Kendo().Grid Helper to build our code for the grid.
When a user refresh the page we want to keep the context of the grid, meaning the same page size the same sort and the same page number.

When we build the grind using Html.Kendo().Grid Helper the only option that we can not set is the Page number (the page that is being display).

I see that using the javascript we can set the page

<script>
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
  data: [
    { name: "Tea", category: "Beverages" },
    { name: "Coffee", category: "Beverages" },
    { name: "Ham", category: "Food" }
  ],
  // set the second page as the current page
  page: 2,
  pageSize: 2
});
dataSource.fetch(function(){
  var view = dataSource.view();
  console.log(view.length); // displays "1"
  console.log(view[0].name); // displays "Ham"
});
</script>

But why this option is not available using the MVC Helper

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource 
.Ajax().PageSize(24) 
.ServerOperation(true) // Paging, sorting, filtering and grouping will be done client-side 
.Read(read => read.Url("/results/gethomes")) 

This will be a nice feature to have.
Thanks

Is the same feature that the Grid on desktop have 
Is just to keept a row at the top of the grid 

Autofitting grid's columns according to its contents might be a pretty expensive operation, especially if there is are many rows. 

How about extending the 'autoFitColumn' function by a parameter which specifies how many rows should be taken into account when determining column's width. That would speedup autofit operations while maintaining a pretty good (good enough) estimation on column's width.

Right now columnMenu is available in each column, along with that, it would be better if there is a centralised option where user can configure the columns.

We have a scenario where we have a grid that can contain many types of data in a single column.  This includes numeric values and string values which could be valid hyperlinks.  Our request is for automatic detection when a string matches a hyperlink syntax to automatically create it as a link in the Grid data cell itself rather than simply appearing as a string value.  Thus the user would be able to just click on the hyperlink rather than copying and pasting the contents of the cell into their browser search bar.

When scrolling is disabled for a grid and column resizing is enabled, resizing a column acts in a strange manner and attempts to size all columns of the grid.  I would expect that only the two columns on each side of the resize handle should have their widths altered.  Otherwise scenarios can occur where you are completely unable to resize columns.  If this would not be default functionality, I would at least suggest a flag to enable it at grid setup.

As explained in this support ticket
https://www.telerik.com/account/support-tickets/view-ticket?threadid=1063565 

I asked me questions about the Kendo-UI Grids toolBar that is only place at the top of datatables.

I’ve been reading on forum thread that, with javascript, we can place it elsewhere but i don’t think that it is very clean code and maintainable.

I'd like this toolbar to be adaptable according to the design I need !

So I suggest to modify/improve this component to fit more situations 
(eg.: 
 - to place it in the "page’s information zone"  for export buttons  
 - to place it at the bottom of datagrid for ending actions’ buttons because at the top is a good place to propose filters to user and way to organize datas
 - etc.) 

or 

to have the possibility to combine many situations (Toolbar & endToolbar & informationToolBar) with multiple toolbars at different places.

<div data-role="grid"
                 data-editable="true"
                 data-toolbar="['create', 'save']"
                 data-columns="columns"
                 data-bind="source: products}"></div>


 var viewModel = kendo.observable({
products:  ...
 columns:[
        {field:"id", width:50},
        {field: "name", width:200}
         ...etc
        ]
});

Currently, Kendo Grid has a "column.values" option that accepts an array of key/value pairs.  These values are used to render human-readable text for fields that are foreign keys.  Depending on how the grid is used, this array of "available values" could be dynamic.  Currently, there is no way to update these arrays without calling "setOptions" manually with the new, correct column definitions.

To fix this, Kendo Grid should track changes to the "column.value" array (via some sort of observable or something - I'm not sure exactly how things work under the hood).  Alternatively, "column.values" could also accept a function.  This function would return the up-to-date values array (Kendo Grid would have to be smart enough to execute the function whenever necessary).

Note:  this is the same functionality that has been requested by http://kendoui-feedback.telerik.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/13355043-kendogrid-allow-updating-columns-values-array-nee

Enable kendo UI to Export excel with images
it would be a great feature if kendo supports to add images while exporting excel sheets

i have a grid with number column and the template is replace the number with a text according to the number, but the sort is according to the number which is not correct.
for example: data[ status: 1 , 2 , 3 ]  the template return Cancelled for 1 Accept for 2 and in Processes for 3. it shoul be sorted in that order: Accept ,Cancelled, in Processes but actually is sort like that: Cancelled, Accept, in Processes 

Users can change columns widths of the grid with their mouse. But there is no api methods to arbitrarily set column width in js. We implemented it using manipulating the DOM and a number of "hacks" to force the grid to recalculate it. But such implementation is complicated, quirky, inefficient and unstable.
It would be very useful if such methods were implemented. Reordering, hiding and locking already has its methods, only resizing doesn't. We use it to save and load user's settings.

I have a column that contains a checkbox and I would like to be able to prevent it from reordering, similar than sortable or groupable, that not all the columns can be sorted or grouped.

Thanks.

Allow users to get events callbacks in dragging columns in Grid widget i.e DragEnd, DragStart etc.

Add 'Select All' checkbox on top of the column list in ColumnMenu so that it is easier to select all or none of the columns of the grid.

A method to display all the currently set column filters
 
For Example: Grid with a column filter set to City and Last name would be displayed like so:

City is “San Diego” and Last Name contains “Smith”

Additionally, it would be nice to be able to display all the filters in a template above or below the grid; the template could then have a “clear all filters” button.

sometimes you use same data which presented with grid and chart, but sometimes it need to be grouped by different categories such as in chart or grid, the problem is that you need to map data between categories in the chart and the grid

Currently with large number of records in the grid when column is resized quickly resize may not actually occur.In this case, the browser's JavaScript engine is not able to fire the appropriate events fast enough, due to the large number of records, which impose a performance hit on the page.
Suggested solution: 
it is possible to improve the column resizing performance if the columns are not resized real-time during dragging, but only after the user drops the resize handle.
