Override DataBound event

Hi Jaime,

You can try achieving the desired behavior in several ways:

- create a custom widget, which inherits from the Grid and subscribe to dataBound in its init method.
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/widgets/create-custom-kendo-widget

- locate all Grids on the page, e.g. by their .k-grid CSS class, and subscribe to the dataBound event after widget initialization
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/basics/events-and-methods#bind-to-events-after-widget-initialization

- use jQuery.extend() to apply "partial" reusable and identical settings to all Grids. The benefit will be that these reusable settings will be defined in one place only

The easiest is probably the jQuery for all the $(".k-grid") thought of that but I have a lot of late binding stuff so it is not ideal. I also use mvc extensions it is also unlikely that the first option will be easy to implement. That means the last might be an option. Is there an example of this(use jQuery.extend() to apply "partial" reusable and identical settings to all Grids) that I can look at? 

Hi Jaime,

This is a "non wrapper" Kendo UI forum section, and my suggestions were provided with this idea in mind. If you are using the MVC wrappers of Kendo UI, options (1) and (3) are not applicable at all.

It is possible to reuse configuration options with the MVC wrappers by using a custom HtmlHelper:

Are you suggesting that I can't override the default scripts ? I am sure that wrappers use the same kendo ui scripts which would mean this is not a wrapper specific question. The example you have linked in the previous post is straight forward yet doesn't answer my question. I use both types of grids. I need to override the kendo ui client-script somehow. 

Hello Jaime,

You can always edit the Kendo UI source Javascript, even when using server wrappers, but this is not what I was suggesting.

When you are using the Kendo UI server wrappers, you are basically using server-side code to generate the client-side Javascript initialization statement for a particular widget. As a result, you do not have direct control over the generated initialization stament. Options (1) and (3) from my first reply require you to intialize the Kendo UI widgets with Javascript code, which you have written yourself and which is not generated by wrappers. That's why these options are not compatible with server wrappers.

I hope this throws some more light on the topic.
