Accessing readonly model data inside of an event Custom Editor Template

[Tate]

I have been able to successfully build an integrate a Custom Editor Template for the events in the scheduler. However, There are certain fields in the Model being edited that I only want to display- the user should not be able to edit the values. I also want to include a button inside of the Custom Editor that links to another area of the web app based off of one of these readonly Model properties. However, I have been having issues getting these readonly properties to properly bind to the view... I have tried Html.DisplayFor, and this is not binding correctly. How can I properly bind and access the values for Model properties inside of a Custom Editor while keeping the values read-only?

Hi Tate,

You can achieve the desired behavior by either using Kendo UI template syntax or using Kendo UI MVVM binding. Please check the example below which shows both approaches:

<h3>Edit meeting</h3>
<p>
    <label>Title:</label><span data-bind="text: title"></span>
</p>

<h3>Edit meeting:</h3>
<p>
    <label>Title:</label>#=title#
</p>
