Query on using the ClientTemplate on Grid with Ajax Binding

Hi,

I am trying to call a Html extension helper method 'GetUserFormattedId' from the client template of a ajax bound grid column. I am trying the format a value of the column.

I am unable to get it working. Is it allowed to call extension methods in this way? Please advise.

@{

Html.Kendo().Grid<InvoiceSummaryDto>()

.Name("invoiceAccountingGrid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(l => l.Id).ClientTemplate("<a href='" + @Url.Action("Details", "Invoice", new { area = "Accounting" }) + "/#= Id #'" + ">" + @Html.GetUserFormattedId(@"#= Id #") + "</a>").Title("ID");

columns.Bound(l => l.ItemsDescription).Title("Description");

})

How to determine if Window is initialized

Hello, I need to check if the Window is already init, if possible.

Do you know if there is a good way to know this ? Without use a parameter in my controller would be best.

Thanks

Inline editing doesn't work with Date fields, get a validation error

I would like to use inline editing with KendoUI grids in an MVC context, but can't at the moment for any data containing Date fields, because whenever I click the Update button (whether after creating a new record, or editing an existing one), even if I haven't changed the date field, I get a validation error (e.g. if the field is DateOfBirth)

"The field Date of Birth must be a date". (please see attached screenshot)

The date format I am setting for the Grid is dd MMM yyyy (because this is unambigous, whereas e.g 04 06 2012 is ambiguous and could mean either 4 June 2012 or 6 April 2012) and my pc (Windows 8, running Visual Studio 2012) is set up with UK regional settings.

(I have a support ticket set up for this, but no solution yet after 10 days), so am posting it here in case anyone else can help.

NB It has been suggested that I set the culture to "en-GB" (which I have never had to do before, including lots of other [non inline editing] use of KendoUI grids), but it didn't resolve the problem.

Thanks in advance for your help

Add Color Picker as a resource instead of a dropdownlist

How can I add a Color Picker to the event dialog using resources? I even looked at a custom editor but recreating the stock event dialog seems like it will be complex just to add a Color Picker.

Is there a demo for this?

.Resources(resource =>

{

resource.Add(m => m.Color) // Need this to be a color picker

.Title("Color")

.DataTextField("Name")

.DataValueField("ColorID")

Checkbox event not firing

I can't seem to get the change event to fire.

Here's the code:

<div class="k-edit-label">

@(Html.LabelFor(model => model.IsAllDay))

</div>

<div data-container-for="isAllDay" id="is-all-day" class="k-edit-field">

<input data-bind="checked: isAllDay" data-val="true" id="isAllDay" name="isAllDay" type="checkbox" />

</div>

I've tried:

$(function () {

$("#isAllDay").change(function () {

alert("changed changed");

});

and

<div class="k-edit-label">

@(Html.LabelFor(model => model.IsAllDay))

</div>

<div data-container-for="isAllDay" id="is-all-day" class="k-edit-field">

<input data-bind="checked: isAllDay, events: { change: isAllDayChanged}" data-val="true" id="isAllDay" name="isAllDay" type="checkbox" />

</div>

function isAllDayChanged() {

alert("changed");

}

What am I missing?

Perpetual week

Hi,

I would like to use the scheduler control to create a perpetual week calendar.
I would be a full week without dates.
Then I don't need all the buttons around the calendar.

Is that possible ?

Cascading DropDownList in grid is not setting the proper initial values in edit mode

Hi All. Trying to use Cascading DropDown inside a grid "in-line" edit mode. The initial values are not being set for edit mode. Add mode is working as expected. I tried some jQuery to set these manually but that did not work either.

So two problems:

1. Why aren't the initial values set during edit mode properly?
2. Why does this code fail to change the value of the dropdown - control.value("1"

);

Thanks
-Jonathan

Here is the Jquery/JS I used:

<script>

function SelectedCedingCompany() { return { CedingCompanyId: $("#CedingCompanyId").val() }; }

function SelectedCedingCompanyLine() { return { CedingCompanyLineId: $("#CedingCompanyLineId").val() }; }

function CoveredLinesAndSublinesGridBeginEdit(e)

{

var control = e.container.find('#CedingCompanyStateId').data('kendoDropDownList');

control.enable();

control.value("1");

}

</script>

My Grid looks like this:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<ContractScope>()

.Name("CoveredLinesAndSublinesGrid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.ForeignKey(c => c.CedingCompanyId, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.CedingCompanies, "CedingCompanyId", "CompanyName")

.Width(100).Title("Ceding Company")

.EditorTemplateName("Contract/ContractScopeCedingCompanyDropDown");

columns.ForeignKey(c => c.CedingCompanyStateId, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.CedingCompanyStates, "CedingCompanyStateId", "CedingCompanyStateDescription")

.Width(50).Title("State")

.EditorTemplateName("Contract/ContractScopeCedingCompanyStateDropDown");

columns.Command(command => { command.Custom("Edit").SendDataKeys(true); command.Edit(); }).Width(150);

})

.ToolBar(tb => tb.Template(

@<text>

<a class='k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-add ActionButton' href="#" style="padding-top:2px; padding-bottom:4px;">

<span class="k-icon k-add"></span>Add Covered Line / Sublines

</a>

</text>))

.Scrollable(s=>s.Height(300))

.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))

.Events(events => events.Edit("CoveredLinesAndSublinesGridBeginEdit"))

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.Filter(filter => filter.Add(e => e.ContractId).IsEqualTo(contractID))

.Events(events => events.Error("AjaxFailure"))

.Model(model =>

{

model.Id(p => p.ContractScopeId);

model.Field(p => p.ContractId).Editable(false);

model.Field(p => p.ContractScopeId).Editable(false);

model.Field(p => p.CedingCompanyId);

model.Field(p => p.CedingCompanyStateId);

})

.Read(read => read.Action("Read", "CoveredLines", new { area = "Contract" }).Type(HttpVerbs.Post))

.Create(create => create.Action("New", "CoveredLines", new { area = "Contract", id = contractID }).Type(HttpVerbs.Post))

.Update(update => update.Action("Update", "CoveredLines", new { area = "Contract" }).Type(HttpVerbs.Post))

.PageSize(20)

)

My Templated DropDown Editors:

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()

.HtmlAttributes(new { id = "CedingCompanyId"})

.DataTextField("CompanyName")

.DataValueField("CedingCompanyId")

.Name("CedingCompanyId")

.DataSource(source => source

.Read(read => read.Action("GetCedingCompanies", "CoveredLines", new { area = "Contract" })

.Type(HttpVerbs.Post))

.ServerFiltering(true)))

@(

Html.Kendo().DropDownList()

.HtmlAttributes(new { id = "CedingCompanyStateId"})

.DataTextField("CedingCompanyStateDescription")

.DataValueField("CedingCompanyStateId")

.Name("CedingCompanyStateId")

.DataSource(source => source

.Read(read => read.Action("GetCedingCompanyStates", "CoveredLines", new { area = "Contract" })

.Type(HttpVerbs.Post)

.Data("SelectedCedingCompany"))

.ServerFiltering(true))

.Enable(true)

.AutoBind(false)

.CascadeFrom("CedingCompanyId")

)

Stacked Bars binds incorrectly when bound to a model

I'm having trouble binding a stacked bar chart to a local Model.

If I keep the data inline in the Razor file, all works fine (see attached Inline.png for the results):

<div class="chart-wrapper">

@(Html.Kendo().Chart(Model.SeriesData)

.Name("chart")

.Title("Test Chart")

.Legend(legend => legend

.Visible(false)

)

.SeriesDefaults(seriesDefaults =>

seriesDefaults.Bar().Stack(ChartStackType.Normal)

)

.CategoryAxis(axis => axis

.Categories("Bob Jones", "Sarah Giant")

.MajorGridLines(lines => lines.Visible(false))

)

.ValueAxis(axis => axis

.Numeric()

.Line(line => line.Visible(false))

.MajorGridLines(lines => lines.Visible(true))

)

.Series(series =>

{

series.Bar(new double[] { 10, 17 }).Color("#f3ac32");

series.Bar(new double[] { 30, 27 }).Color("#b8b8b8");

series.Bar(new double[] { 10, 17 }).Color("#e3ac32");

series.Bar(new double[] { 30, 27 }).Color("#ab6e36");

})

.Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip

.Visible(true)

.Template("#= series.name #: #= value #")

)

</div>

However, if I move the data to a model, it seems to bind incorrectly (See attached bound.png for the results):

@model LyncMeetingReporting.Report.Controllers.ChartModel

<div class="chart-wrapper">

@(Html.Kendo().Chart(Model.SeriesData)

.Name("chart")

.Title("Test Chart")

.Legend(legend => legend

.Visible(false)

)

.SeriesDefaults(seriesDefaults =>

seriesDefaults.Bar().Stack(ChartStackType.Normal)

)

.CategoryAxis(axis => axis

.Categories(Model.Attendees)

.MajorGridLines(lines => lines.Visible(false))

)

.ValueAxis(axis => axis

.Numeric()

.Line(line => line.Visible(false))

.MajorGridLines(lines => lines.Visible(true))

)

.Series(series =>

{

series.Bar(m => m.Data, m => m.Colour);

})

.Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip

.Visible(true)

.Template("#= series.name #: #= value #")

)

</div>

The model:

public ActionResult Log(Guid? id, MeetingDetailsType? type)

{

var chartModel = new ChartModel() {

Attendees = new string[] { "Bob Jones", "Sarah Giant" },

SeriesData = new SeriesData[]

{

new SeriesData() { Colour = "#f3ac32", Data = new double[] { 10, 17 }},

new SeriesData() { Colour = "#b8b8b8", Data = new double[] { 30, 27 }},

new SeriesData() { Colour = "#e3ac32", Data = new double[] { 10, 17 }},

new SeriesData() { Colour = "#a8b8b8", Data = new double[] { 30, 17 }},

}

};

return View(chartModel);

}

public class ChartModel

{

public IEnumerable<string> Attendees { get; set; }

public IEnumerable<SeriesData> SeriesData { get; set; }

}

public class SeriesData

{

public double[] Data {get; set;}

public string Colour {get; set; }

}

Show default value for nullable field

Hi all,

I have a discount % field that's a nullable int, and uses an up/down editor. Users want to show "None" in the field when the value is null, and want to be able to select "None" in addition to values 0 - 100 when editing the field. Is there a feature in place to display a default value for null?

As it stands, it shows empty in the grid, and you can clear the text in the editor to revert back to null. It works functionally, but may not satisfy the request.

If the feature doesn't currently exist, what would be the best way to go about enhancing the up/down control to enable it?

Thanks!
