Extend the panelBar

[Anders Bengtsson]

Hello,

if I want to add behaviour of the expand function, how can I do this.

function onExpand(e) {
    setTimeout(function(){ 
        $("input:first", e.item).focus();
    },1);
}

I always want this to happend when expand event is fired. Can I extend the panelBar to always have this function.
So I dont have to do it on all my pages.

Hi Anders,

In order to specify the behavior of the expand() method and to set it always when expand event is fired, you could create a custom PanelBar that inherits the Kendo UI PanelBar. For convenience I created a jsFiddle example which illustrates this approach in action.  

In addition, I believe you may find this blog post very useful.
