Bind grid parameter to a checkbox

Title:

BI{code} ?

I have a grid and above that some search parameters. One of those parameters is a checkbox. As is known in razor, checkboxes created with @Html.Checkbox automatically generate a hidden field and some nifty trick is done in passing the actual boolean representating the checkbox to the controller. However when using it to be a parent to a grid, this does not work. Example: @(Html.Awe().Grid("Grid") .Columns( new Column {Name = "SomeColumn", Sortable = true, Width = 100, Header = "Datum", Sort = Sort.Desc}, .... ....) .Parent("bookingDate", "bookingDate") .Parent("displayFull", "displayFull") In the form above it I have: Display also fully booked items? @Html.CheckBox("displayFull", false) Now no matter if the checkbox is checked or not, in the controller the parameter displayFull (type bool?) is always true. Is there a way to bind the checkbox to the grid and also to pass the correct value to the controller. I believe I can fake somethings using javascript, but I rather not.

  Html.Checkbox generates an input type=checkbox with value = true and a hidden input with value = false (both with same name), if the checkbox is not checked it's value isn't submitted in a form post (the trick) in js value of the checkbox is always "true", but it's checked state can differ you could use an Awe().AjaxCheckboxlist with one item instead or create a checkbox with a hidden input and on checkbox click you change the value of the hidden input and trigger change on it, and you make the hidden input the parent

  • I have tried to use the Awe Ajax Checkbox list with one item. But the strange thing is that the checkbox appears on top of the label. I cant get it next to the label as in the demo app.
