I had the code below in my dialog to show icons in the action buttons.  It worked on version 2023 R3.  After upgrading to 2025.1.227, all it shows is the code (<span>) text.

Code:

@(Html.Kendo().Dialog() .Name("LetterPreviewDialog") .Title("Letter Preview") .Closable(true) .Modal(true) .ButtonLayout("normal") .Visible(false) .Events(e=>e.Close("OnLetterPreviewClose")) .Actions(a => { a.Add().Text("<span class='k-icon k-font-icon k-i-envelop'></span> Send Letter").Primary(true).Action("SendEmail"); a.Add().Text("<span class='k-icon k-font-icon k-i-cancel'></span> Cancel").Action("CancelEmail"); }))

Before:

After:

We have this Command:

columns.Command(c => { c.Custom("Delete").Text(" ").Click("onClick").IconClass("k-icon k-i-trash").HtmlAttributes(new { @title = Resource.DELETE }); })

And we have this function to set the grid state:

function loadOptions() { var options = sessionStorage["userTable-options"]; if (options) { var grid = $('#userTable').data('kendoGrid'); var toolBar = $("#userTable .k-grid-toolbar").html(); // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27717575/kendo-mvc-persist-and-load-grid-buttons var optionsJSON = JSON.parse(options); // https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-persist-customized-filter var StatusTranslated = optionsJSON.columns.filter(function (c) { return c.field === "StatusTranslated.Text"; })[0]; StatusTranslated.filterable = { ui: $.proxy(filterDropDownField, { field: 'StatusTranslated' }) }; grid.setOptions(optionsJSON); $("#userTable .k-grid-toolbar").html(toolBar); $("#userTable .k-grid-toolbar").addClass("k-grid-top"); } }

Before setting the grid state the button executes successfully. After executing setOptions the button does not work anymore.

How do we combine the possibility to save/load the grid state, and the usage of custom buttons in the grid?

Kind regards.

How can I influence the drop down filters so that both start with the operator 'Contains' and the logic between them as 'or'. 

They should be able to change them after initial setting. i would like it to look like the enclosed image to start.

Hi,

I’m using the Kendo UI Grid with column menu filters. My requirement:

• Let the user pick a filter operator (e.g., contains, equals).

• Don’t apply a filter if the value is empty.

• Keep the operator visible every time the 3-dot menu opens, even after sorting.

What I’ve tried:

1. columnMenuInit → Works first time, but doesn’t fire again for the same column.

2. Popup open inside columnMenuInit → Fires once, but after sorting the grid, it doesn’t trigger again.

3. Delegated jQuery click handler → Works reliably, but feels like a hack.

Minimal repro (MVC wrapper):

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyModel>() .Name("Invoices") .Columns(c => { c.Bound(x => x.InvoiceNumber); c.Bound(x => x.CustomerName); }) .Sortable() .Filterable(f => f.Extra(false)) .ColumnMenu(m => m.Filterable(true)) .Events(e => e.ColumnMenuInit("onColumnMenuInit")) ) <script> function onColumnMenuInit(e) { var popup = e.container.data("kendoPopup"); if (popup) { popup.bind("open", function () { var ddl = e.container.find("select[title='Operator']").data("kendoDropDownList"); if (ddl) ddl.value("contains"); // operator only, no value e.container.find("input[type=text]").val(""); }); } } </script> 

Issue:

• The operator shows correctly the first time.

• After sorting and reopening the menu, the operator reset logic does not run.

Questions:

• Is there an official event I can use to run logic every time the column menu opens?

• What’s the recommended way to restore operator state when no filter value is applied?

Thanks!

How can I fix this, surely they are meant to be side by side, Ideally I would like to change the is true to labels also?

Hello Telerik support team,

I have an ASP.NET MVC project made in .NET Framework 4.6.2

It is using a local directory with files of version 2022.2.510 of Kendo UI. These are the contents of /lib/KENDOUIMVC/2022.2.510.545 of my project:

Kendo.Mvc.dll* cs-CZ/ el-GR/ fr-FR/ pl-PL/ ru-RU/ tr-TR/ Kendo.Mvc.xml da-DK/ es-ES/ he-IL/ pt-BR/ sk-SK/ uk-UA/ ar-AE/ de-DE/ export/ it-IT/ pt-PT/ spreadsheet/ zh-CN/ bg-BG/ distribution.xml fr-CA/ nl-NL/ ro-RO/ sv-SE/ 

I want to make use of the DropDownButton component in this project, and I tried the example code from this page:

https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/dropdownbutton

I get this error however:

'WidgetFactory<InvoiceFilterViewModel>' does not contain a definition for 'DropDownButton' and no accessible extension method 'DropDownButton' accepting a first argument of type 'WidgetFactory<InvoiceFilterViewModel>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

So I believe the DropDownButton is not available yet in the version of Kendo that I am using.

My questions;

1. Is it possible to upgrade my version of Kendo in the same way as have already? I tried looking in the downloads section, but I don't see the bundle of files I need. The source code bundles contain many different files. If this is not possible, can you then please tell me the alternatives?

2. Is it possible to see which versions a component is supported for on the Telerik documentation website?

I already applied an alternative using the DropDownList, but this does not really satisfy the requirements as a DropDownButton would. Note that upgrading the .NET version of this project is (sadly) not a possibility for me at the moment.

And a little side note, it seems this link is broken when clicking on the red "Documentation" button:

Page with the button: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/dropdownbutton

Hi,

I'm using ASP.NET MVC  with Kendo UI v. 2024.2.514 and I'm running into a weird issue when exporting a grid to PDF.

When I trigger the export, the PDF output shows only the current page of the grid duplicated X number of times.

For example, if I'm on page 2 of a 10-page grid, instead of exporting all ten pages, the PDF contains page 2 repeated 10 times.

I'm enabling the PDF export like this:

.ToolBar(tools => tools.Pdf()) .Pdf(pdf => pdf.AllPages())

Has anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions on what I'm missing here?

Thanks!
