1) KENDO GRID: At anygiven time, if you want to access the edited or added data (before reload of grid/save)

var editableModel = $('#myGrid').data().kendoGrid.editable.options.model;

2) KENDO GRID: If you would like to update one of the property value manually for recent edited record in grid then

var editableModel = $('#myGrid').data().kendoGrid.editable.options.model;
editableModel.set("dobDate", '05/31/1983');

3) MONTH PICKER: Implementing month picker with Kendo. This would work with Grid Edit Pop also.

<input id="dobDate" type="date" class="input" name="dobDate" data-bind="value: dobDate" />

$(document).ready(function () {
 

$("#dobDate").kendoDatePicker({
start: "year",
depth: "year",
format: "MMMM yyyy",
parseFormats: ["MMMM yyyy"]
});


});

Month Picker cannot be achieved with Model binder as there is a known bug. The only available is the above

4) KENDO GRID: Format/Parse the date column (bound column)

columns.Bound(m => m.DobDate).Width(50).Title("Dob Date").ClientTemplate("#= DobDate < 1/1/1900 ? '' :   kendo.format('{0:MMMM yyyy}', DobDate) #")

5) KENDO DATE PICKER: Disable the control by editing it

<input id=”dobDate” type=”date” class=”input” name=”dobDate” onkeydown=”return false;”  data-bind=”value: dobDate” />

6) KENDO FILTER OPERATORS: Below are the few filter operators

  filter.push({ field: "IsNew", operator: "eq", value: 1 });

eq, gt, gte, lt, te, neq

7) READONLY:

 @(Html.Kendo().DatePicker().Value(DateTime.Now)
 .Name("myDate").Min(DateTime.Now)
 .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", @readonly="readonly" }))

or

$("#myDate").kendoDatePicker(); 

var myDate= $("#myDate").data("kendoDatePicker"); 

myDate.readonly(true);

8) NUMERIC TEXTBOX: Don’t allow decimal value and don’t allow negative value (define min value)

a) format allows you to ignore/avoid entering decimal value

b) min allows you to set the min value to zero

$("#Hours").kendoNumericTextBox({ decimals: 0, format: "#", min: 0 });

9) HIDE/SHOW KENDO DROPDOWNLIST: Below is the syntax to hide/show kendo dropdownlist
HIDE:

 $("#ddlCountries").closest(".k-widget").hide();

SHOW:

 $("#ddlCountries").closest(".k-widget").show();

10) Kendo Grid Filter Configuration : For a Kendo Grid, if you would like to customize the filter menu below is how you can do

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<UserModel>()
    .Name("MyGrid")
    .ColumnMenu()
    .Filterable(f => f.Operators(o => o.ForString(s => s
        .Clear()
        .Contains("Contains")
        .DoesNotContain("Does not contain")
        .EndsWith("Ends with")
    )))
// other configuration goes
)

If you would like to customize to a specific column then you would do same above filter configuration to a column rather than entire grid

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<UserModel>()
    .Name("MyGrid")
    .Columns(columns =>
          {
              columns.Bound(m => m.UserName)
              .Filterable(f => f.Operators(o =>
              o.ForString(s => s.Clear().Contains("Contains")
              .DoesNotContain("Does not contain")
              .EndsWith("Ends with")
    )))

})
)

11) Kendo Grid Clear Selected Row :

            var grid = $("#myGrid").data("kendoGrid");
            grid.clearSelection();

Happy Koooding…..  Hope this helps!….
