Kendo Popup Display

Question

MVC4, a kind of razor. I can open the details window for the Kendo grid item (Ajax) using the client template, and this works. My problem is that I lose the state of the grid (sorting / ordering, etc.) when I return to the grid.

My thought was to use a popup to display the detail of the mesh element. I see how to create an edit popup, but I want to display the details without being editable.

I cannot create a custom command since I am using an Ajax data source.

Any ideas on how I can open a window with detailed information, and not lose the state of the grid or pop up only the information window (using razor syntax, please).

thanks

The trick is to use an editor template. If you configured your grid as bound to the MyType type:

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyType>().Name("my-grid")) 

you just need to add a new folder to the same view folder with the name EditorTemplates (if you always don’t have it, usually you have one such folder in the Shared folder used for Kendo templates) and paste the view that you want to display in the popup window:

 @model MyType <div class="display-label">@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name)</div> <div class="display-field">@Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Name)</div> 

etc.
