Hello everyone,

Here are the highlights of the new online resources we published this week from 10 Nov 2025 to 17 Nov 2025:

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/grid-search-bar
Summary: Explains how to implement a global search bar for the Kendo UI for Vue Grid that filters rows across multiple columns. Place an Input in the GridToolbar, build a CompositeFilterDescriptor with logic "or" (using contains for strings and appropriate operators per type), and apply it client-side with @progress/kendo-data-query’s filterBy or send it to your API for server-side filtering; covers clear/reset and optional debouncing.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/chart-stop-animation
Summary: This article shows how to stop and disable animations in Kendo UI for Vue Charts. Set the Chart transitions prop to false to prevent animations on initial render and data updates; for pie/donut series, also disable per-series animation with seriesDefaults.animation.visible = false. It includes Vue examples for toggling these settings at runtime when data changes frequently.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/chart-color-by-category
Summary: Explains how to color Kendo UI for Vue Chart data points by category by defining a ChartSeriesItem that binds to your data and using colorField to read a per-item color, alongside categoryField for category labels. For chart types without colorField support, use the series visual callback to set fill/stroke based on args.category or args.dataItem.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/checkbox-simulate-group
Summary: Learn how to simulate a checkbox group with Kendo UI for Vue CheckBox components by controlling each checkbox’s checked state from a shared array of selected values and updating that array in the change handler. The article covers defining per-checkbox value props, initializing defaults, and integrating the group into forms for validation and submission. Use this pattern when you need grouped checkbox behavior without a dedicated CheckboxGroup component.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/grid-reduce-header-height
Summary: Learn how to reduce the Kendo UI for Vue Grid header height via CSS by adjusting header cell padding and line-height in .k-grid-header/.k-table-th, while keeping sort and filter icons aligned. The article provides concrete selectors that work with kendo-theme-default/Bootstrap/Material and shows how to apply them in a Vue SFC to achieve a more compact header row.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/menu-open-url-in-new-window
Summary: Learn how to make Kendo UI for Vue Menu items open URLs in a new tab/window. You can either render the item link with target="_blank" (and rel="noopener noreferrer") using the Menu’s custom link/item slot, or handle the Menu select event and call window.open with the item’s url. The article shows how to access the item data from the event and safely open external links.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/grid-pdf-export-show-message
Summary: This article shows how to display a “Generating PDF…” message while exporting the Kendo UI for Vue Grid by using a ref to GridPDFExport and a reactive loading flag. Set the flag before calling save(), then clear it in the async completion handler (promise resolve/catch or pdfExport event), so the message is shown only during the PDF export.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/grid-customize-no-records-component
Summary: Learn how to customize the Kendo UI for Vue Grid empty state by replacing the default “No records available” view. Use the Grid’s no-records slot/GridNoRecords component to render custom content (messages, icons, actions) when data-items is empty, and conditionally vary it based on filtering or loading state.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/listview-scrolling-to-specific-item
Summary: Learn how to programmatically scroll the Kendo UI for Vue ListView to a specific item by index or identifier. The article shows how to access the ListView content via a Vue ref, locate the target .k-listview-item, and use its offsetTop or scrollIntoView to update scrollTop after nextTick. It also covers timing considerations so scrolling runs after data binding and rendering completes.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/knowledge-base/radiogroup-disable-specific-options
Summary: You can disable specific options in the Kendo UI for Vue RadioGroup by adding a disabled flag to your data items and rendering the radios via the item slot to set :disabled per option. This approach prevents selection of certain choices without disabling the whole group and maintains value binding, keyboard navigation, and accessibility.

Feel free to check them out and share your thoughts!

Hello, I am using the DatePicker component from the @progress/kendo-vue-dateinputs package.

I am trying to update the value of the date picker in a unit test using vue-test-utils.

I have tried the following, which is how I would ordinarily update input values:

const input = wrapper.find('input[id="my-date-field"]'); endDateInput.setValue('01/01/2025');

await nextTick();

endDateInput.trigger('change');

await nextTick();

This does seem to update the value, but does not update it correctly.

A snapshot of the markup after setting the value this way shows that it appears to set the year based on the last 2 digits of the new value, but not correctly, and it is also missing the dd/mm parts:

<input role="combobox"class="k-input-inner" id="my-date-field" value="dd/mm/0025" etc...>

Is there a way in which I can update the date picker value correctly?

I appreciate that the calendar popup is appended to <body>, so setting the value using that programatically is not possible, but any way of being able to update the input value is fine.

Happy to provide a minimal repro if required.

Hello,

I'm currently using Vue 3 with Kendo UI Grid for Vue (version 4.3.3).
My grid has Multiple columns and Multi-headers.

However, when I scroll horizontally, the data columns are not displayed correctly.
They either appear misaligned or are not rendered properly.

Could you please advise how to resolve this issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The project requires marking activities dates , so I want to highlight the corresponding event dates in the calendar component by displaying them with a red background. Are there any relevant methods for this?  

I've checked the customization options in the documentation:  

- The `CalendarCell` method only allows selecting dates within the current month and cannot select dates from other months.  
- The `slot` method does not support selecting dates, months, or years.  

Is there another way to achieve this?

Hi All,

I have a query which goes as below -

We have min and max dates already applied to this datepicker.
But we want to go one step ahead and disable all the dates of the month save the last date between the min and max dates.

Thanks,
Ronnie

How do you backslash escape Vue directives in a Kendo UI Template.

I want to escape a v-model on my Kendo UI template.

This is how I tired to escape them but it did not work.

<input type="checkbox"  \# v-model="checked" \# > 
EDIT:

I tried using a double escaped \# like this:

 <input type="checkbox"  \\# v-model="checked" \# >

But it did not work, when I examined the page via chrome dev tool, this is how the input  is displayed:

 

<input type="checkbox" #="" v-model="checked">

The reason for the v-model is that I am trying to do an 'if conditional' in my Vue.js model

. i.e

<script>
    const mixin = {

        data: function() {
            return {
               checked:true
       }

  created() {
    this.checked = this.addGoals();
   },
  methods: {
    addGoals() {
	if (test === 3){
        return true;
        }else{
	return false;
     }
  }

</script>

 

I did try this method to escape the values but it did not work:

<input type="checkbox" #:v-model="checked">

The error message: 

Uncaught Error: Invalid template:'

I found the way to trigger the change event manually in jQuery but I need a way to access the widget in vue.  I am using an on screen keyboard (https://www.npmjs.com/package/simple-keyboard) to insert the values into the numeric textbox. I am struggling to access the widget to raise the change event. I am using the Vue Native Numeric Textbox. Below is how to trigger it using jQuery.

 <input id="numeric" value="123" />

  $("#numeric").kendoNumericTextBox();

var numerictextbox = $("#numeric").data("kendoNumericTextBox");
  function changeValueFromCode(){ 
    numerictextbox.value(40785);
    numerictextbox.trigger('change');
  }

I'm using the Filter component with Grid -- both bound to the same filter value, similar to the example shown in the docs here: Vue Data Tools Library & Filter - Custom editors - Kendo UI for Vue Docs & Demos

However, as in the example given, I can't get the custom dropdown to show the value of the currently aplied filter for the corresponding field.

In the example, if you change the operator of the Product Name filter using the filter row, the operator dropdown in the Filter component is updated to match. However, if you change the filter value in the filter row to, for example 'Chang', the dropdown in the Filter component is not updated to match the applied filter.

If you remove the custom dropdown, the value field in the Filter component will reflect the value aplied in the filter row. This is the two-way binding I'm trying to achieve with a custom filter component.

Please advise.
