Description

How can I make the filter menu of the Grid wider?

Solution

Use CSS rules to expand the width of the container and the elements that are located inside it. To avoid the impact of the selector on the other page elements, you might need to modify it.

.k-animation-container>form {
  width: 300px;
}
.k-filter-menu .k-datepicker, .k-filter-menu .k-datetimepicker, .k-filter-menu .k-dropdownlist, .k-filter-menu .k-numerictextbox, .k-filter-menu .k-textbox, .k-filter-menu .k-timepicker {
  width: 100%;
}
.k-filter-menu span.k-filter-and {
  width: 100%;
}

On the filterMenuInit event, you can also set the width of the container per menu.

<div id="grid"></div>

<style>
      .k-filter-menu .k-datepicker, .k-filter-menu .k-datetimepicker, .k-filter-menu .k-dropdownlist, .k-filter-menu .k-numerictextbox, .k-filter-menu .k-textbox, .k-filter-menu .k-timepicker {
        width: 100%;
      }
      .k-filter-menu span.k-filter-and {
        width: 100%;
      }
</style>

<script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
          $("#grid").kendoGrid({
            dataSource: {
              type: "odata",
              transport: {
                read: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Orders"
              },
              schema: {
                model: {
                  fields: {
                    OrderID: { type: "number" },
                    Freight: { type: "number" },
                    ShipName: { type: "string" },
                    OrderDate: { type: "date" },
                    ShipCity: { type: "string" }
                  }
                }
              },
              pageSize: 20,
              serverPaging: true,
              serverFiltering: true,
              serverSorting: true
            },
            height: 550,
            filterable: true,
            sortable: true,
            filterMenuInit:function(e){
              $(e.container).css("width", "300px")
            },
            pageable: true,
            columns: [{
              field:"OrderID",
              filterable: false
            },
                      "Freight",
                      {
                        field: "OrderDate",
                        title: "Order Date",
                        format: "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}"
                      }, {
                        field: "ShipName",
                        title: "Ship Name"
                      }, {
                        field: "ShipCity",
                        title: "Ship City"
                      }
                     ]
          });
        });
