Kendo Grid - pass over edited values in button click

Im relatively new to javascript/jquery so forgive me if this sounds like a silly question.
I have a Kendo UI grid which is bound to a url from a controller method. This all works fine, but I want the user to be able to change the value on some of the fields. I have enabled the 'editable' flag on the table itself to allow these values to be changed, but when the button is clicked, it passes over the original value instead of the updated ones. Am i missing something simple?
<div id="productlist-grid"></div>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#productlist-grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
type: "json",
transport: {
read: { url: "#Html.Raw(dataUrl)", type: "POST", dataType: "json", data: additionalData }
},
schema: { data: "Data", total: "Total", errors: "Errors" },
error: function(e) {
display_kendoui_grid_error(e);
// Cancel the changes
this.cancelChanges();
},
pageSize: #(defaultGridPageSize),
serverPaging: true,
serverFiltering: true,
serverSorting: true
},
pageable: {
refresh: true,
pageSizes: [#(gridPageSizes)]
},
editable: true,
scrollable: false,
columns:
[
{ field: "ProductPictureUrl", title: "Picture", template: '<img src="#=ProductPictureUrl#" />', width: 100, editable: false },
{ field: "ProductName", title: "Product Name", editable: false },
{ field: "ProductSku", title: "Sku", editable: false},
{ field: "Quantity", title: "Quantity", type: "number"},
{ field: 'SplitPack', title: 'Split Pack', template: kendo.template($("#template").html())},
{ field: "AddToCart", title: "", template: 'Add To Cart', editable: false}
]
});
});
</script>
Many Thanks in advance!!

kendo ui Grid virtual scrolling - where is the scroll?

When using virtual scrolling kendo-ui grid there is no visible scroll.
I'm using virtual scrolling in manner to show some records from DataBase but I don't see any scroll in my grid and it displays just six first rows.
I can't understand where is my problem.
This is my code:
$("#cargoGrid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
serverPaging: true,
serverSorting: true,
pageSize: 20,
transport: {
read: {
url: "/frmPermission/api/readAllCargo",
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json",
},
parameterMap: function (options) {
return JSON.stringify(options);
}
},
schema: {
data: "data",
total: "total",
model: {
fields: {
cargoId: {
type: "number"
},
title: {
type: "string"
},
}
}
},
},
scrollable: {
virtual: true
},
pageable: {
numeric: false,
previousNext: false,
messages: {
display: "تعداد {2} رکورد نمایش داده شده است",
empty: "اطلاعاتی برای نمایش وجود ندارد"
}
},
columns: [
{field: "cargoId", title: "Id", hidden: true},
{field: "title", title: "نوع بار"},
{
filed: "",
title: "انتخاب",
template: "<button class='select k-button' onclick=\"clickSelectCargo( #=cargoId# , '#=title#' )\">انتخاب</button>",
width: "200px"
}
],
selectable: "single",
// sortable: true
});
I found when I use "sortable: true," and I clicked on header column it worked but before click dosen't display Virtual scrolling

scrollable: {
endless: true
},

Kendo grid expand row not working correctly

I have a Kendo grid which is populated from a SQL database. The kendo expand works fine and returns a different kendo grid in the expand when the program first starts but if I do a new search and return different results the expand row does not work.
My code for the expand ->
function detailInitd(e) {
TextvalueFile = "manno test";
$.ajax({
type: "post",
data: JSON.stringify({
search_string: TextvalueFile,
}),
url: "/Search.aspx/File_Search",
dataType: "json",
contentType: 'application/json',
success: function (object) {
response(object);
},
complete: function (object) {
},
error: function (object) {
}
});
function response(object) {
var grid = this;
$("<div/>").appendTo(e.detailCell).kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
data: object.d,
schema: {
model: {
path: { type: "string" },
st_size: { type: "number" },
},
},
pageSize: 20,
},
reorderable: true,
resizable: true,
navigatable: true,
selectable: "multiple",
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
filterable: true,
columnMenu: true,
pageable: {
input: true,
numeric: true
},
columns: [
{ field: "path", title: "Path", width: 200 },
{ field: "st_size", title: "Size", width: 60 },
{ field: "st_blks", title: "BLKS", width: 60 },
{ field: "st_acctime", title: "acc Time", width: 70 },
{ field: "st_modtime", title: "mod Time", width: 75 },
]
});
}
};
My code for the original kendo grid ->
function DisplaySearch() {
}
textS.value = value;
valsearch = textS;
$.ajax({
type: "post",
data: JSON.stringify({
search_string: valsearch,
}),
url: "/Search.aspx/display_search",
dataType: "json",
contentType: 'application/json',
success: function (object) {
response(object);
},
complete: function (object) {
},
error: function (object) {
}
});
function response(object) {
$("#searchGrid").kendoGrid({
theme:"Default",
dataSource: {
data: object.d,
schema: {
model: {
archive_header_key: { type: "number" },
group_Name: { type: "string" },

},
},
pageSize: 20,
},

this.expandRow(this.tbody.find("tr"));
},
reorderable: true,

{ field: "display_name", title: "Display name", width: 300 },
{ field: "file_written", title: "Files", width: 50 },
{ field: "session_ID", title: "Session", width: 200 },
{field: "create_browse", title:"Browse", Width: 50},
],
change: function(){
var grid = this;
grid.select().each(function(){
var dataItem = grid.dataItem($(this));
testdata = dataItem.archive_header_key;
grid.expandRow(grid.element.closest("tr"));
})
},
dataBound: function () {
this.expandRow();
},
});
}
Any help would be appreciated.

There is some sample code to check if a kendoGrid is already initialized:
https://www.telerik.com/forums/grid-creation-best-practices
It works for me and fixed the expandRow issue.
function searchButtonClick() {
var gridElement = $("#grid"),
grid = gridElement.data("kendoGrid");
if (!grid) {
gridElement.kendoGrid({
...
});
} else {
grid.dataSource.read();
}
}

I think this is duplicated instances. When you are searching, and call your response() you instanciate always an kendoGrid probably, you have to do something like:
Declare an variable out of response() like:
var $searchGrid = null;
And change your response() :
function response(object) {
if($searchGrid){
$searchGrid .destroy();
$("#searchGrid").empty();
$("#searchGrid").remove();
}
$("#searchGrid").kendoGrid({
theme:"Default",
dataSource: {
data: object.d,
schema: {
model: {
archive_header_key: { type: "number" },
group_Name: { type: "string" },
Server: { type: "string" },
archive: { type: "string" },
display_name: { type: "string" },
file_written: { type: "number" },
session_ID: { type: "string" },
create_browse: {type:"number"},
},
},
pageSize: 20,
},
detailInit: detailInit,
dataBound: function () {
this.expandRow(this.tbody.find("tr"));
},
reorderable: true,
navigatable: true,
selectable: "single",
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
filterable: false,
columnMenu: true,
reordable: true,
resizable: true,
pageable: {
input: true,

},
columns: [
{ field: "archive_header_key", title: "Key", width: 50 },
{ field: "Server", title: "Server", width: 75 },
{ field: "group_Name", title: "Group", width: 75 },
{ field: "archive", title: "Archive", width: 50 },
{ field: "display_name", title: "Display name", width: 300 },
{ field: "file_written", title: "Files", width: 50 },
{ field: "session_ID", title: "Session", width: 200 },
{field: "create_browse", title:"Browse", Width: 50},
],
change: function(){
var grid = this;
grid.select().each(function(){
var dataItem = grid.dataItem($(this));
testdata = dataItem.archive_header_key;
grid.expandRow(grid.element.closest("tr"));
})
},
dataBound: function () {
this.expandRow();
},
}).data("kendoGrid");;
}
Hope this help

Is it possible to have multiple instances of kendo grid

Hi i have a Kendo grid which works fine but I was wondering if its possible to add another exact one with a button click so i could have multiple instances of the same grid?
I am getting all the data from a sql database.
My code for the grid is ->
function DisplaySearch() {
var textS = $('#searchBox').val();
Textvalue = textS;
$.ajax({
type: "post",
data: JSON.stringify({
search_string: Textvalue,
}),
url: "Search.aspx/display_search",
dataType: "json",
contentType: 'application/json',
success: function (object) {
response(object);
},
complete: function (object) {
},
error: function (object) {
}
});
function response(object) {
$("#searchGrid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
data: object.d,
schema: {
model: {
archive_header_key: { type: "number" },
group_Name: { type: "string" },
Server: { type: "string" },
archive: { type: "string" },
display_name: { type: "string" },
file_written: { type: "number" },
session_ID: { type: "string" },
},
},
pageSize: 20,
},
reorderable: true,
navigatable: true,
selectable: "multiple",
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
filterable: false,
columnMenu: true,
pageable: {
input: true,
numeric: true
},
columns: [
{ field: "archive_header_key", title: "Key", width: 50 },
{ field: "Server", title: "Server", width: 75 },
{ field: "group_Name", title: "Group", width: 75 },
{ field: "archive", title: "Archive", width: 50 },
{ field: "display_name", title: "Display name", width: 300 },
{ field: "file_written", title: "Files", width: 50 },
{ field: "session_ID", title: "Session", width: 200 },
]
});
}
};
any help would be appreciated.

Of course you can! You only need to make sure that the id of the grid is unique.
This code will add a div to a given container and create a grid - with any button click a new grid. Hope it works, I haven't tested it.
var gridNr = 1;
$("#btn").click(function(e){
$("#gridContainer").append("<div id='grid_'" + gridNr + " />");
$("#grid_" + gridNr).kendoGrid({ ... your grid code here ... });
gridNr++;
})

How to rearrange KendoGrid Tab Order?

I'm using a KendoGrid and doing a inline batch edit. Only a select few columns are editable. When hit tab the next column selected but it is not the next editable column. Is there a way to control the tab order in a KendoGrid? How would I make the tabs skip columns that are not editable?
My Mark-UP:
<div id="employeeGoalsGrid"></div>
My Javascript:
var goalsDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
transport: {
read: {
url: '/MVC/ResearcherPoints/GetEmployeeResearchers',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json'
},
update: {
url: '/MVC/ResearcherPoints/UpdateEmployeeGoal',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json'
//dataType: "jsonp"
},
parameterMap: function (options, type) {
debugger;
$.extend(options, { ID: options.id });
return JSON.stringify(options);
}
},
batch: false,
schema: {
model: {
id: 'ID',
fields: {
id: { editable: false, nullable: false },
FirstName: { editable: false, nullable: true },
LastName: { editable: false, nullable: true },
Title: { editable: false, nullable: true },
TeamName: { editable: false, nullable: true },
PointsGoal: { type: "number", nullable: true, validation: { required: false, min: 1 } }
}
}
},
sortable: true,
filterable: true,
columnMenu: true
});
$('#employeeGoalsGrid').kendoGrid({
dataSource: goalsDataSource,
navigatable: true,
sortable: true,
resizable: true,
toolbar: ["save", "cancel"],
columns: [
{ field: "FirstName", title: "First Name", width: 200},
{ field: "LastName", title: "Last Name", width: 200 },
{ field: "Title", title: "Title", width: 200 },
{ field: "TeamName", title: "Team", width: 200 },
{ field: "PointsGoal", title: "Goal", width: 200 }],
editable: true,
filterable: true,
});
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

To skip cell you need to use tabindex="99999"
I created a jsfiddle for testing purposes: http://jsfiddle.net/danieltulp/kfG7y/
I think you need to look at using attributes: { tabindex: "999999" } in
{ field: "UnitsInStock", title: "Units In Stock", width: 110, attributes: { tabindex: "999999" } }
but this doesn't seem to work. Anyone a better idea?
Perhaps this just isn't possible?

Can you try changing the editable property on the grid options from true to "inline" and let me know if that fixes the issue? I've created a similar scenario in this JSBin and the tab order works fine (Chrome on OSX) when I edit a row.
