Here is an example from the documentation:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/how-to/Selection/persist-row-selection-while-paging
It relies on the change and dataBound events to save and restore selected rows by their IDs.
<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
$(function () {
var selectedOrders = [];
var idField = "OrderID";
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
type: "odata",
transport: {
read: "http://demos.kendoui.com/service/Northwind.svc/Orders"
},
schema: {
model: {
id: "OrderID",
fields: {
OrderID: { type: "number" },
Freight: { type: "number" },
ShipName: { type: "string" },
OrderDate: { type: "date" },
ShipCity: { type: "string" }
}
}
},
pageSize: 10,
serverPaging: true,
serverFiltering: true,
serverSorting: true
},
height: 400,
selectable: "multiple",
pageable: {
buttonCount: 5
},
sortable: true,
filterable: true,
navigatable: true,
columns: [
{
field: "ShipCountry",
title: "Ship Country",
width: 300
},
{
field: "Freight",
width: 300
},
{
field: "OrderDate",
title: "Order Date",
format: "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"
}
],
change: function (e, args) {
var grid = e.sender;
var items = grid.items();
items.each(function (idx, row) {
var idValue = grid.dataItem(row).get(idField);
if (row.className.indexOf("k-state-selected") >= 0) {
selectedOrders[idValue] = true;
} else if (selectedOrders[idValue]) {
delete selectedOrders[idValue];
}
});
},
dataBound: function (e) {
var grid = e.sender;
var items = grid.items();
var itemsToSelect = [];
items.each(function (idx, row) {
var dataItem = grid.dataItem(row);
if (selectedOrders[dataItem[idField]]) {
itemsToSelect.push(row);
}
});
e.sender.select(itemsToSelect);
}
});
});
</script>
