Call click function using bind?

Question

I have on click function like:

<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="template">
        <div class="toolbar">
             <button id="ExportExcel" class="btn btn-default " onclick="ExportExcel(); return false;"><i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i> Exportar</button>
        </div>
</script>

Normally I call it as easy like:

function ExportExcel() {
        $("#lstEmployees").data("kendoGrid").saveAsExcel(); // export grid to excel
}

And it works, but now I need to change my function and I have something like:

 var exportFlag = false;
    $("#lstEmployees").data("kendoGrid").bind("ExportExcel", function (e) {
        if (!exportFlag) {
            //  e.sender.showColumn(0); for demo
            // for your case show column that you want to see in export file
            e.sender.showColumn(2);
            e.preventDefault();
            exportFlag = true;
            setTimeout(function () {
                e.sender.saveAsExcel();
            });
        } else {
            e.sender.hideColumn(5);
            e.sender.hideColumn(6);
            exportFlag = false;
        }
    });

But I get issue:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'bind' of undefined

What is wrong there? How can I call onclick Export excel as a function like work example? Regards

It looks like $("#lstEmployees").data("kendoGrid") return nothing. When you run this grid exists? — Alexandr, Nov 08 '16 at 18:37
`$("#lstEmployees").data("kendoGrid")` is returning an object/value. That might not be a jquery object. `bind()` is available on jquery objects. — sam, Nov 08 '16 at 18:37
Yes, it export me an Excel, but I want to change to get hidden values like this answer [Kendo Hidden Fields](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29362185/cannot-export-hidden-columns-in-kendo-grid) @Alexandr — Jesus A., Nov 08 '16 at 18:40
