Open modal popup on kendo-grid header double click

Question

I want to open modal popup when kendo-grid header is double clicked.

I tried the following:

headerAttributes: { 'ondblclick':'openPopup()' }

This way, the popup opens correctly but it also sorts the grid (default functionality of grid).

Please suggest how to prevent grid to sort when header is double clicked. I tried

ev.preventDefault();
return false;

but nothing works for me.

Answer 1

The easiest way:

$('#Grid').on("dblclick", "th.k-header",  function () {
  // do something
});
