I need to add a custom toolbar command to my kendo-grid so I searched the kendo-ui documentation about the grid#configuration-toolbar where I found that:
If an Array value is assigned (to a toolbar property), it will be treated as the list of commands displayed in the grid's Toolbar. Commands can be custom or built-in ("cancel", "create", "save", "excel", "pdf").
and I created a custom command for my toolbar (suggested also in this question Adding custom button to KendoGrid Toolbar Issue)
toolbar: [
{
name: "copyRows",
text: "Copy Rows",
click: function (e) {
alert('test');
}
},
],
with an additional property for the click event handler like described in the documentation for a command columns.command.click Function:
The JavaScript function executed when the user clicks the command button. The function receives a jQuery Event as an argument.
...however it doesn't fire the the click event and the alert doesn't show up.
Do you know what I am missing here?
The complete code that I test looks like this:
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
columns: [{
field: "name"
}, ],
editable: true,
toolbar: [{
name: "create",
text: "New Row"
}, {
name: "copyRows",
text: "Copy Rows",
click: function (e) {
alert('test');
}
}, ],
dataSource: {
data: [{
name: "Jane Doe"
}],
}
});
I have found the solution. For some strange undocumented reason a toobar command is not the same command as a column command and cannot be customized in the same way. The only thing they have in common is that a toolbar command can invoke a column command. There seems to be no click event in the toolbar:
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
columns: [{
field: "name"
},{
command: [{
name: "customCommand",
text: "Column Command",
click: function(e){
alert('Column Command');
}
}]
} ],
editable: true,
toolbar: [{
name: "create",
text: "New Row"
}, {
// This actually calls the column command with the same name.
name: "customCommand",
text: "Toolbar Command",
// The click event never gets fired.
click: function (e) {
alert('Toolbar Command');
}
}, ],
dataSource: {
data: [{
name: "Jane Doe"
}],
}
});
But I didn't want to have an extra button in each row only to make the toolbar command work so the solution was to use a custom template for the toolbar with a custom event handler:
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
columns: [{
field: "name"
}],
editable: true,
toolbar: [{
template:
'<a class="k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-add" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-add"></span>New Row</a>' +
'<a class="k-button k-grid-custom-command" href="\\#">Toolbar Command</a>'
}],
dataSource: {
data: [{
name: "Jane Doe"
}],
}
});
$('a.k-grid-custom-command').click(function (e) {
alert('Toolbar Command');
});
