Hello Phil,
I see what the problem is. In order to overcome it, you could use the Data() method and pass additional data to the Read Action.
E.g.
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource .Ajax() ... .Read(read => read.Action("Excel_Export_Read", "Grid").Data("additionalData"))).Events(e => e.ExcelExport("excelExport")) //attach a handler to the excelExport event<script> var isExport = false; $("#grid").on("mousedown", ".k-grid-excel", function () { isExport = true; }); function additionalData() { return { isExport: isExport } } function excelExport(e) { isExport = false; }</script>This way we will pass the isExport flag variable to the Read Action. It will be set to true if the current request is related to the Excel export and to false otherwise.
I hope this information helps. Have a great day. Regards,
Dimiter Madjarov
