Checkbox column with Kendo grid

Question

I wanted to add a checkbox column as first column to below grid. Can some one help me how to add it?

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
      .Name("items")
      .Columns(columns =>
      {
          columns.Bound(p => p.itemname).Title("Name");
          columns.Bound(p => p.cost).Title("Cost");
          columns.Bound(p => p.stockinhand).Title("Stock in hand");
          columns.Command(command => command.Destroy()).Width(100);
      })
     .Pageable()
             .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Server() 
                .Model(model => model.Id(p=>p.Id))
                .Destroy(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "Grid"))
            )
)

Answer 1

This is how I did it:

columns.Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' #= IsAdmin ? checked='checked':'' # class='chkbx' />")

and then on javascript:

   $(function () {
    $('#grid').on('click', '.chkbx', function () {
        var checked = $(this).is(':checked');
        var grid = $('#grid').data().kendoGrid;
        var dataItem = grid.dataItem($(this).closest('tr'));
        dataItem.set('IsAdmin', checked);
    })
})

I normally add a boolean column in the model; like following.

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
  .Name("items")
  .Columns(columns =>
  {
      columns.Bound(p => p.status).ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' disabled #= status == true ? checked='checked' : '' # />");
      columns.Bound(p => p.itemname).Title("Name");
      columns.Bound(p => p.cost).Title("Cost");
      columns.Bound(p => p.stockinhand).Title("Stock in hand");
      columns.Command(command => command.Destroy()).Width(100);
  })
 .Pageable()
         .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Server() 
            .Model(model => model.Id(p=>p.Id))
            .Destroy(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "Grid"))
        )
)

And to disable it until you press "Edit" button just add "disabled" in the ClientTemplate. That should do it. Thanks.

Hi you can add Checkbox in Header and Column like below :

columns.Bound(p => p.Status).HeaderTemplate("<input id='selectall' class='chkbx' type='checkbox' onclick='ToggleChkBox(this.checked);' />").ClientTemplate("<input id='checkbox' onclick='grdChkBoxClick(this); ' class='chkbxq' type='checkbox' />").Sortable(false).Filterable(false).Width(30);

And FInd Checkbox click like below :

//Cell click Checkbox select
$('#Grid').on("click", "td", function (e) {
    var selectedTd = $(e.target).closest("td");
        var grdChkBox = selectedTd.parents('tr').find("td:first").next("td").find('input:checkbox');
        grdChkBox.prop('checked', !grdChkBox.prop('checked'));

});

And do Check all checkbox functionality like below :

function ToggleChkBox(flag) {
    $('.chkbxq').each(function () {
        $(this).attr('checked', flag);
    });
}
