How to use kendo-ui databind on elements in tabstrip of layout footer

[Corey Mitchell]

I have a basic kendo-ui layout using data-role="layout" with a footer containing a tabstrip element. I would like to databind a small badge with a count over one of the buttons in the tabstrip, but it never seems to update the count in the badge.

Can this be done?

 

Thanks,

- Corey

Hi Corey,

Thank you for contacting us.

The data-bind attribute is part of the Kendo UI MVVM implementation. It's applicable for Kendo UI Views that have the data-model attribute. The Kendo UI Tabstrip widget is a navigation widget and shouldn't be a part of the view. It should be in the Layout as in your case. This also means you can't use the data-bind attribute and benefit from the two way binding mechanism. You have to use the Tabstrip widget's badge() method. You can also see a demo example here. You can see the source code by clicking on the "<>" button in the top right corner.

Let me know if you have any questions.
