How to render dropdownlist as Desktop mode

[Claudio]

Hi, i have a kendo web application who use popOver widget, to use popOver widget i converted the application to a kendo-mobile-application

(adding kendo-mobile-application attribute and include all html body inside a kendo-mobile-view tag.)

The application works fine except for kendo-dropdownlist who render always as mobile dropdown.

I would like to choose when dropdownlist have to render as mobile and when as desktop.

It is possible?

I noticed that if avoid to include the kendo.*.mobile.css the dropdown render as a normal desktop mode, but doing so the popOver widget not render well..

 Otherwise how i can use mobile widgets inside web application without transform the application as mobile?

Thanks

Hello Claudio,

 

We do not have such configuration out of the box, and currently the dropdownlist is always rendered as a native component (actionsheet) when included in mobile application. You can submit this as a feature request on UserVoice, so that it is considered for implementation in a future release.

Just curious if there's any update on this. I put a User Voice request for this almost two years ago and it hasn't moved. I understand its not super high priority but its still pretty disappointing that this hasn't been at least acknowledged with some sort of explanation on why it won't happen. I assumed that a licensed customer ​making a feature request would ​warrant some form of a reply in all of this time. http://kendoui-feedback.telerik.com/forums/127393-telerik-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/4639192-make-picker-behavior-configurable-for-dropdownlist

Hello Marlon,

 

We strive to implement the most voted features for the UserVoice section, currently this functionality has just 5 votes, which make it a low severity item. If more people vote for this, we will see it implemented sooner.

Hi Claudio,

// Replaces the 'mobile' version of a drop down list with the 'desktop' version
replaceMobileDropdownList:function(){
    var popups = $("body").find("div[data-role='popup']");
    // bind open event
    $.each(popups, function(i,element){
        $(element).data("kendoPopup").bind("open", function(e) {
            var w = $(e.sender.wrapper);
            w.switchClass("km-popup km-widget", "k-popup k-widget",0);
        });
    });
},
