When placing an Editor in a Window the Editor control does not render correctly (tried this in IE 10, 9, 8 and FireFox)

We are using the latest verion of the MVC Wrappers: 2012.2.913.340

Below is an example from our code (Partial View)

On our Detail page:

Our onclick function for the window:

I have attached an image of how the partial view is being rendered in the Window

Folks
I had the same issue as Nick in this post:
http://www.kendoui.com/forums/mvc/editor/editor-in-window.aspx

I have found a solution that works
Firstly,  you must have the latest version on Kendo UI
You will need to have 2 views. one a partial view
The first view holds the button, the Kendo Window element and some javascript
The second holds the content that will appear in the window.

Here is the html for the first view
So it has the button to be clicked, a hidden field to hold a Id and the KendoUI windows control.
Notice that the KendoUI control does not have a Content nor a LoadContentFrom method. I believe that having Content that contains a Kendo  Editor was as loading the another nested editor. I just could not get LoadContentFrom to work at all.

Once we click the button(I use css to style the link to a button), we get jQuery to do some work. Here is the javascript, which I put at the bottom of the above view

I use jQuery to handle the link's click event.
inside that I get the Id from the hidden field
I build a parm array to hold the Id
I set a variable for the Kendo Window control
if it exists, I center it and open it
          then I refresh it with a call to the controller action, passing in the param array
                   the controller action does its thing and renders the partial view into the open window

Here is the html for the partial view that holds the Editor
This view must be partial else you will get your default layout loaded as well. Also using a non-partial view disables the action controls on the Kendo Window.

In my struggle with this, I had to constantly delete the Temporary ASP.NET Files.
To do this, Close all instances of Visual Studio
Navigate to:     %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
Delete all items in that folder.

I hope this helps

Hi,

I am looking to update an application that uses mvc3 and telerik mvc extensions to MVC 4. I am using this under the open source  GPL-v3 license  but it looks like this license has been removed from the KendoUI wrappers for MVC.

Am I to understand that there is no upgrade path for telerik mvc extensions under the GPL-v3 license?

Thanks,

Tim

This does not set the class. Also tried "style" and nothing. Might be a bug.

Following examples, I have a ListView I am trying to populate depending upon the selected values of two ComboBoxes. I got the ComboBoxes populated via DataSource fine but the ListView is giving me problems. Here is some illustrative code:

I get a 404 (not found) for "Controller/ControllerAction". What am I doing wrong?

Is my whole approach valid?

The examples often show different ways of accomplishing the same thing, which is very confusing.

Thank you,
Richard

Hi,

I would like to know that can we add two add buttons on top of the grid .

In my grid i would like to show two different products for e.g., Product A , Product B

when i click on the first button(Add Product A) i would like to open Product A Popup
on click of second button open Product B Popup

Same thing i want to apply for edit button inside the grid,
 based on the Product type i would like to open Product A popup, and Product B popup


Can any one suggest me the better approach.

Thanks

Hi,

We today tried switching to the .less version of the Kendo styles to be able to use themebuilder colors elsewhere in our project as well, however we cannot get it to work.

We use DotLess to compile the .less files, however the @require lines seems to fail. Do you have any guidance on how to get this working or a sample project with it working? Our own less files works well, however they do not contain any require statemend, just some variables, mixins and nesting.

Thanks

Hello,

when I'm using the CustomCommand grid, my grid is always empty.
If I'm looking through the generated scriptcode with firebug the url attribute contains ="Controller/action". (Grid/CustomCommand_Read)

But my current page url calls http://localhost:53850/Tickets

Because of the relative url it always calls http://localhost:53850/Tickets/Grid/CustomCommand_read. Is this correct?
If it is so i dont know how to use it with the root url (http://localhost:53850/ + Grid/CustomCommand_Read)

The debugger also doesn't call the CustomCommad_Read. Only if I'm calling the correct url directly.

Thanks a lot.

Kind Regards

Phillip

Hello,

I have a grid that is bound to a model with nullable types (a bunch of "decimal?" types representing currency, to be exact). It is using a popup for editing. The editor template I am using for the popup hides some of these fields by default and only shows them if certain conditions are met based on other inputs.

At first, I would try to add an item to the grid and it didn't work--the popup wouldn't even close. Then I realized it was because these hidden currency fields were empty, and it was showing a validation message. The properties that are having this issue are not marked as [Required]. 

I've been trying for hours to find a solution to this problem that makes it so these fields are allowed to be null, or to specify some kind of default value.

If needed I can post a sample project. Any ideas?

I have the following .chtml, view model, and controller actions.  However, the auto complete never displays any results even though I can see that the Jason results are sent back to the browser. 

.chtml
@model IEnumerable<Trishulla.Erp.Web.Core.Main.Models.CustomerNameModel>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "New Appointment";
}
<section class="contentTile">
        New Appointment
</section>
@section navigation{
        @Html.Partial("_DailyServiceLeftNav")
}


@(Html.Kendo().AutoComplete()
          .Name("CustomersAutoComplete")
          .BindTo(Model)
          .Suggest(true)
          .DataTextField("Name")          
          .Filter(FilterType.StartsWith)
          .Placeholder("Customers...")
          .DataSource(source =>
                          {                              
                              source.Read(read =>
                                              {
                                                  read.Action("GetActiveCustomers", "DailyService");
                                              }).ServerFiltering(true);
                          })                                 
)


View Model:
public class CustomerNameModel
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
}

Controller actions:
 public ActionResult NewAppointment()
        {
            IEnumerable<CustomerNameModel> customerModel = this.customerService.CustomerRepository.GetMany(c => c.IsActive)
                                            .Select(c => new CustomerNameModel
                                            {
                                                Id = c.Id,
                                                Name = string.Format("{0} {1}", c.FirstName, c.LastName)                                               
                                            });


            return View(customerModel.ToList());
        }


        [HttpGet]
        public ActionResult GetActiveCustomers([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
        {
            string searchValue = Request.Params["filter[filters][0][value]"];
            IEnumerable<CustomerNameModel> customerModel = this.customerService.CustomerRepository.GetMany(c => c.IsActive)
                                            .Select(c => new CustomerNameModel
                                            {
                                                Id = c.Id,
                                                Name = string.Format("{0} {1}", c.FirstName, c.LastName)
                                            });


            var returnVal = Json(customerModel.Where(c => c.Name.StartsWith(searchValue, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)).ToList().ToDataSourceResult(request), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            return returnVal;
        }
