Spreadsheet Destroy Not Working

[Marc]

I have a spreadsheet widget, which is created on page load. I have a button, which populates the data using the transport layer. Every time the button is pressed I need to destroy the spreadsheet and then recreate it. I am doing the following: (our page uses angularjs in case that relevant)

if (spreadSheet != null) {
$("#seasonalitySpreadsheet").data("kendoSpreadsheet").destroy();
}

// recreate spreadsheet here.

However - the first spreadsheet is not being removed from the DOM.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I am doing something similar with angular and used the following code:

// In view, k-scope-field = "spreadsheet"
var spreadsheet = $scope.spreadsheet;
var sheet = spreadsheet.activeSheet();
sheet.range(kendo.spreadsheet.SHEETREF).clear();

It works pretty well unless the user is in mid-edit when they decide to close that spreadsheet.

Hello Marc,

Depending on the desired result, after the widget is destroyed the DOM element have to be removed manually.

Please check the article in our documentation:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/intro/widget-basics/destroy

Also, check the Dojo demonstrating this:

http://dojo.telerik.com/eFASU

I hope this will help to achieve the desired result

Hi Stefan,

Sorry my mistake! I did read the documentation but I must have missed the bit that mentioned, the HTML which is removed is content outside the widget, and not the widget itself!

Thanks again,

Marc
