Just like how Telerik Grids are done for Silverlight Grid. I would like to have both the multi check box filter and the regular filter w/ 'Contains/Starts with/ Ends with' message on the same filter 'popup'.

Is this possible with the current Kendo UI?

We have implemented custom 'search' functionality for Kendo grids, which uses column filtering 'behind the scenes'.  Without a hacky workaround, we are having a problem where modifying the filters list behind the scenes will trigger the filter indicator on the columns. It would be great if there was some kind of 'silent' filtering that we could add for this instead of having to write a completely custom query for searching.

By Default the Grid filters for text columns only do the following comparisons; Equal, Contains, Starts, Ends (& Not's)

We are missing: Greater Than, Less Than, GE & LE.
Given the alphabet is ordered, it is reasonable & desirable to add these 4 comparisons to text as well as numeric & date columns. 

This empowers a filter like (Surname >= "L" AND Surname < "O")  so we can find all customers with Names starting with L, M & N

When "Clear Filter" in grid column filtermenu is clicked,grid's dataSource's filter method is called even though the grid is actually not filtered with that field yet. eg. Load this page http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/remote-data-binding and directly click clear filter of any column field. It'll query the remote data. I don't want this behavior. Because the grid is not filtered by that field yet.

If you are on the last page of a set of data and delete the last item from the page the pager does not reset to the previous page. This seems like an obvious bug to me.

Steps to reproduce:

Go to Grid Demo: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/editing-inline
Select "Edit this example"
Change the pageSize of the dataSource from 20 to 2
Run the demo
Go to the last page
delete the two items on the page

Result: Grid does not move to previous page and incorrectly displays the item number as higher than the total number of items.

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

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.

KendoUI Grid persist row selection state after update a field programmatically via the set method of the dataItem.

We use the Kendo Grid with a DataSource connected to an OData service. We also use the OOB Kendo Grid functionality to hide columns in the UI (column.hidden = true). Through testing we found out that the Kendo grid does not use the OData option of selecting specific columns for retrieval. The grid will request all columns for a table, which leads to overhead in the amount of data sent from the server to the client. We sometimes have tables with 50 columns, for which only 10 columns are shown.

When grid column is hidden template code is still being executed. For large data sets with many hidden columns this makes grid scroll slower than is necessary...
{ id: 'Artist', title: Columns.ARTIST, field: Columns.ARTIST, width: '100px', hidden: true,
	template: function (dataItem) //this gets executed even when column is hidden. 
	{
		return someMethodToDetermineArtrist(dataItem);
	}
}

If Column widths are not set, The grid column and column header will be misaligned when autoscroll is enabled unless the following code is used which feels like a hack. This code snippet was given to me by a support team member.

    dataBound: function(e)
    {
      
        if($(".k-grid-content table").height() > $(".k-grid-content").height())
        {
          	$("#grid1 div.k-grid-header").css('padding-right',kendo.support.scrollbar());

            $("#grid1 div.k-grid-content").css('overflow-y', 'visible');  
        }
       	else
        {
            $("#grid1 div.k-grid-header").css('padding-right', '0');

            $("#grid1 div.k-grid-content").css('overflow-y', 'hidden');        
        }
    }

When using a template for Grid PDF export, usage of AngularJS scope variables should be possible, e.g. to customize the title.

I believe drag-drop, resize and reorder functionalities should be accessible using keyboard for people with very poor eyesight.

Grid sorting needs to sort Enum by text, not by their numeric undelaying value. Or at least it should be an option what to sort by.

When a grid is first showed with a group value (e.g. a date value), it should be possible to apply a sorting direction to the grouped value (e.g. descending)

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.

In lieu or as part of select-all capability:

Expose a way to retrieve the filtered set of data (or keys) in the grid and other filterable controls.

In other words, when a user has applied their own filters, there is currently no method to retrieve the filtered set across the entire dataset. That makes implementing a select-all button a bit tricky as you have to either select all on the current page (view) or the entire unfiltered dataset and then apply the filter yourself.

With the kendoGrid, if no columns are specified, all columns are automatically rendered. However, dates (at least, I have not tested other non-strings) are rendered in non-human-readable form (at least if they are from SQL Server).

Since date rendering is tied to culture parameters, it would make sense to specify culture at the grid object level and have dates, currency, etc. render according to that. It would also be great to have filters setup for these different types applied to dynamic columns.

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.

It would be great to have a couple of CSS classes to do customization of the style of scrollbars in Kendo UI Web controls (multi-browser) because otherwise its really complicated to integrate javascript plugins to do this in the Kendo UI structure.
