You cannot insert the columnMenu froma a Kendo grid inside a toolbar because Kendo add it to the current grid.
But what you could do is a self implementation of the behavior of this menu inside your own toolbar. I have done it recently for a project.
What I have done:
An angular component.
When clicking on the component I read what columns are visible.
I do that throgh the .getOptions() and then inspecting the columns property of the object returned. The invisible columns will have a hidden=true.
Then in the template I show all the columns with a checkbox to switch the visibility.
hideColumn() and showColumn() should be attached to the action of checking or unchecking a checkbox.
Angular component controller:
init() {
if(this.grid)
this.columns = getColumns(this.grid.getOptions().columns);
}
checkbox(column) {
column.visible === true ? this._objectViewService.grid.showColumn(column.field) : this._objectViewService.grid.hideColumn(column.field);
}
A method to convert from kendo defaults to my visualization system:
function getColumns(columns) {
let cols = [];
columns.forEach(column => cols.push({title: column.title, field: column.field, visible: column.hidden !== undefined ? !column.hidden : true}));
return cols;
}
The template:
<div class="columnDropdownComponent">
<p class="title" ng-mouseover="$ctrl.init()">
<button>Columns<span class="icon-navigation-down"></span></button>
</p>
<div class="dropdown">
<div class="group">
<label ng-repeat="column in $ctrl.columns" ng-class="{'checked': column.visible}">
{{column.title}}
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="column.visible" ng-click="$ctrl.checkbox(column)">
</label>
</div>
</div>
