Expand then select/open first sub-panel

[Clint]

I'm expanding a panelbar based on text from another element, which is easy enough.

var li = $("#panel").find("span.k-header:contains('" + _txt + "')").closest("li.k-item");
$("#panel").data("kendoPanelBar").expand(li);

Now, how do select/open the first child panel under it?

Hello Clint,


You could retrieve the underlying items for the current one and again invoke the expand (or select) method.
E.g.

va pb = $("#panel").data("kendoPanelBar");
var li = pb.wrapper.find("span.k-header:contains('" + _txt + "')").closest("li.k-item");
var subitem = li.find(">.k-group>.k-item:first");
pb.expand(li);
pb.select(subitem);

Have a great day!

Excellent!  Thanks.  I just couldn't quite get the syntax right.  I know it's not directly a kendoui question, more of a jquery question, but I appreciate the assistance!
