Allow close panel on wide screen

[Marcin]

Hello

Is it possible to toggle panel also when visible (wide screen). Running manually close/open is not doing anything. And I would like to be able close (manually) panel, then show it, also on wide screen.

Hello Marcin,

You can access the Kendo UI ResponsivePanel element and use the jQuery toggle() method. Please check out the following dojo:

http://dojo.telerik.com/AQONi

Let me know, whether this is what you are looking for.

Hello!

When the Kendo UI ResponsivePanel element is hidden by the user via the jQuery toggle() method, the panel can not be opened after being automatically hidden, when the window size is (resized) below the widget's breakpoint configuration (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/responsivepanel#configuration-breakpoint).

I need a solution where the toggle button is always visible, and the user can open and close the panel anytime, regardless of whether the window size is below or over the breakpoint. However, when the initial window size is below or the window is resized below the breakpoint, the panel should be hidden automatically once.

I was trying to implement this behaviour with the widget's open and close methods, however, these methods do not work as long as the window size is over the breakpoint.

Could you please provide a working solution?

 

Best regards,

Kaan

Hi Kaan,

In this scenario you need to override the default behavior, triggered via the CSS media query, and implement your own custom logic for hiding/showing the ResponsivePanel element initially and on resizing the window, e.g.:

http://dojo.telerik.com/AQONi/10

I hope this helps.

That's ridiculous, why don't the Open and Close method work when it's wider than the breakpoint?  Someone had to deliberately code it NOT to work as everyone would expect it to?  When can this be fixed?

Hi Nathan,

The built-in intended behavior of the ResponsivePanel is to be opened when the available width is above the breakpoint.

All previous posts involve custom scenarios and various workarounds for achieving the desired custom behavior.

In general, changing current features implementation, and/or providing new ones is not planned, as active development for the Kendo UI for Mobile is discontinued, and currently limited to critical bug fixes. Thank you for the understanding.

I can recommend the Progress Professional Services for any required feature customization or custom implementation:

Let me know if you are interested, and I will arrange for someone from the team to contact you.
