I can get the render suggested actions to work when its loaded up, but when the user selects an option, i want to render more suggested options for them to select. I have the onpost firing. What am i missing here. this code fires but i dont see the options appear in the chat window.
function onPost(e) {
if (e.sender.options.user.name != 'Bot') {
if (e.text == 'How do I..?') {
var chat = $("#chat").data("kendoChat");
chat.renderSuggestedActions([{
title: "Option 1.",
value: "Option 1."
}, {
title: "Option 2",
value: "Option 2"
}
]);
}

Hi Jerome,
If you would like to suggest more options upon clicking on one, you will have to use the OnActionClick event. This event is triggered when the option is clicked, and so, in the event handler, you can have a condition checking for the selected option, and based on that, you can suggest more options or just reply with a message.

I'm creating the chat object and setting it up all in javascript. im using the function in the example in the link you posted, but i think im missing something on the bind. Do you have an example of this all in JS?
chat.bind("onActionClick", onActionClick);
Jerome,
Telerik Web UI RadChat is an ASP.NET WebForms wrapper of the Kendo UI chat and can only be created in the Markup or CodeBehind.
In case you're creating the Chat Object using JavaScript, you likely using the Kendo UI Chat APIs. For instructions, please visit the Kendo UI APIs and Documentation:
For the WebForms RadChat component, attaching the click event can be done using the approach from the article I shared earlier, see OnActionClick
