Filtering using dropdown

[Jon]

I'm looking at an example in your mvc demo where you use checkboxes to filter events in a scheduler. I wish to implement a similar function but need to use a dropdown (due to the number of options). The code for the checkbox scenario is...

$("#people :checkbox").change(function(e) {
        var checked = $.map($("#people :checked"), function(checkbox) {
                return parseInt($(checkbox).val());});
                var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
                scheduler.dataSource.filter({
                        operator: function(task) {
                                return $.inArray(task.ownerId, checked) >= 0;
                        }
                });
         });

How do I achieve similar (my dropdown values are strings) using a dropdown?

Hello Jon,

When you sing the DropDownList you can simply modify the filter operator to compare current item resource field value with the DropDownList value (inside it's "change" event):

scheduler.dataSource.filter({
  operator: function(task) {
    return task.ownerId == ddlValue;
  }
});
