When configuring grid column commands, there is no easy way to control certain aspects of the generated buttons without template and CSS gymnastics.

Here are several specific ideas:

* Add a "title" option so that the underlying button automatically creates a theme-specific tooltip. Currently, tooltips have to be added to the grid element using crazy filters, and they do look like the button tooltips.

* Add support for icon-only buttons through a means other than setting the "text" to "". The CSS for icon-only buttons is slightly different (margins/padding) to ensure the icons are centered and the margins/padding are not too large. By automatically applying a distinct class to represent an icon-only button, the CSS can be more reliably controlled.

* When applying a className value to the "edit" command, that className value is not applied to the "update" and "cancel" buttons that are automatically generated when the edit button is clicked. This might have been a potential work around to the previous item, except that the class is not applied to the generated buttons.

when putting grid into new item creation state it should be possible to put new item with some predefined fields.

Current it is realy difficult to achieve that:

using datasource and insert do not contain isNew on model, also put it on top of grid page is difficult, not possible

using model.set. on edit event causing fireing save event when it should be fired only when item is realy saved.

We need to improve enduser search experience in grids by increase control over filter menu.
In order to speed-up query providing we need to control which item is activated in Filter menu by default.
Very often default operator is set in grid configuration but enduser has to always change focus to second field  when he wants to provide search criteria. It becomes tedious activity when he search a lot.
Therefore we need access via api for controlling focus behavior in Filter menu.
It should allow to control this behavior without breaking existing tab sequence of controls.

Hi Team,

I'd like to request the functionality to add an unsort option to the Kendo UI Grid's Groupable sort direction.  

Thank you

It is possible to add new inline rows to grid even though they are not valid. 

Steps to replicate in attached dojo:

https://dojo.telerik.com/oJEMAPoJ

1. Apply any search in search panel

2. Click Add New Record (one or mutiple times)

3. Click SaveChanges

4. Delete search phrase

The result is that new rows have been added with empy ProductName column, which supposed to be required.

 

 

 

We have the grid data-source and the headers bound to the members of the data-source data .
So the grid header on sort pass the data-field to the server .There should be option to change the header option and the data-field .

Cause we might send a VM  of the navigational property to client side and the grid on header click should send original data-field then the VM property

Hi Guys,

I have just tripped over a problem in the 2020 R1 release whereby the sort indicator is not being shown when autoBind is set to false.

To illustrate the problem run the following dojo

    https://dojo.telerik.com/eMELiMut

which will show a sort indicator on the 'Ship Country' column.

Now if you uncomment 'autoBind:true' and 'dataSource.read();' and re-run you will see that although the data is being sorted correctly the 'Ship Country' column is missing the indicator.

Regards
Alan

I do not understand the rational behind this behaviour other than it is easier to implement than what I would consider normal multi-select behaviour.

Multi-selection should be enabled by holding down the ctrl or shift key to select non contiguous or contiguous rows like every other application on earth.

Using the mouse in this manner also prohibits the ability to drag rows which has also been raised on this forum.

Lastly, almost every js based grid I've ever seen, KendoUI included cannot handle multi-select AND virtual paging. Once selected rows go out of scope, they will not be re-selected when back in scope.

Be the first to market on this feature and trump your competition. It is a hard feature to implement, but one that is surely worth the bragging rights.

The current method of selecting the item to filter forgeinkey column is not useful for a lot of records.
It is necessary to enable the filter template customization, or add search/autocomplete to current filter template.

The Kendo grid is slow to render row details when using Internet Explorer.   The reason, according to a forum post, is because IE does not handle the ":not()" selector well, which the Kendo uses.  Fix this problem.

Please add a simple way to add column calculations to the grid. From simple addition and multiplication to complex calculations across grid columns. Key features would include:

Calculations fire on key up key down events for selected cells
Formula builder like excel
Calculated fields automatically save to db on save
Calculated fields included in aggregates in footer

Thanks!

Kendo UI Grid - In batch update mode, currently, during save operation three separate events are fired for created, updated and deleted records. This really creates a problem when all the changes needs to be transactions. There needs to be an option, in which only one event is fired for all the changes.

Expose a clean way of destroying kendoDraggable.

For instance at the moment I only want selected rows in a grid to be draggable, to when a row is selected I make it draggable, but then I need to clear all other draggables in the grid.  Can't find a clean way to do this.

Bug report

When sorting is enabled for a virtualized Grid with local data, in some cases the Grid does not show correct items when sorted.

Reproduction of the problem

1, Open the Dojo example
2. Scroll to the bottom
3. Sort the Grid

Current behavior

Only the last 3 items are displayed. (screencast)

Note: The issue does not occur every time.

Expected/desired behavior

Enough items to fill the Grid height should be displayed. There should be no blank space without records.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2021.2.616
• Browser: [all ]

Currently when using MVVM to instanciate a grid which contains columns with values arrays, those values arrays must be globally scoped.  All other things MVVM binds to are located within the View Model.

Please make it so that the kendo.bind method will allow for an MVVM grid to locate it's columns value arrays within the View Model. 

Currently, when a foreignKey column is configured in a Grid and the value is null, the valuePrimitive option of the DropDownList should be set. However, in order to set the valuePrimitive for foreignKey column configuring a custom editor is needed as described in the link here. I would like to have the possibility to set the valuePrimitive option as part of the column configurations, without adding a custom editor. For example:

columns: [
              { field: "name", title: "Name" },
              { field: 'category', title: 'Category', width: '200px', values: categories, valuePrimitive: true}
            ]

If you export your grid to Excel then you may have noticed that sometimes the columns are smaller than their content.
What I mean is, I have double click the coumn header in Excel to get the desired "auto-width".
It would be nice to have this functionality already in Telerik.
So that the column width perfectly fits its content.

would be useful

I'd like to request the functionality to change the multiple selection process of the Kendo UI Grid to be the same as Excel.  For example, the following shows a block of cells selected instead of all of the cells in-between the selected cells from Shift+Clicking:

Thank you!

kendo grid dynamic does not contain a definition for MinResizableWidth throwing this error on resize column ..multiple dynamic gids in my mvc view 

minResizableWidth float
The pixel screen width below which the user will not be able to resize the column via the UI.

Bug: Column Resize Handle not showing on dynamic Grid Columns

The problems are the hidden columns. If you have a hidden column in the grid, you can't resize all other columns after the hidden column. That is a very nasty bug, so please Kendo-UI team make a fix for it.
