Bind list of current file into kendo upload control manually

[John]

What I want is to bind list of current files into a kendo upload control on load of the page. So this list of files are files that I will add it manually from the controller.

Hi,

The Upload widget does not support data binding. We plan to add such support in the feature, but it will not be available in the short therm.

Our suggestion is to use a Grid for displaying the files that were already uploaded.

Apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Is it still in plans?

Hi,

You can use the file property that is documented here.

The property 'files' - is what i was trying to use. But it works only if array are defined before widget init.

It's not so useful, as attachments are loaded via ajax and added to array, which won't appear in "upload" widget.

Going further, methods enable(), disable() don't help too.

Only manual creation of the widget after array is loaded helps, but it looks ugly and not obvious. You need to know where to search to find the initialization, instead of usual 'autobind:false' in config and bind the widget when You need.

Hello,

Yes indeed with the current version recreation is the only possible solution for your scenario. Please excuse us for this inconvenience. You can submit a feature request about this behavior at our uservoice portal here.

Hi,

The discussed behavior is not yet added to the Upload widget so in order to be achieve one should recreate it and set the files propert yto the desired ones.
