Clear Kendo Window on Close

[Joshua]

Hello,

I have kendo window that pops up at the click of a link as shown below. Inside the window I have an input box which when changed gets data from the server
and displays the same on the kendo grid. The problem is, once I close the which and I re-open it, the previous data still shows. How can I clear the
currently loaded data on the close of the Kendo window?

Below is my Home/Index.vbhtml and Application/Index.vbhtml (which opens in a window as a partial view)

Regards.

Home/Index.vbhtml

<a href="#" onclick='openWindow()'>Open Window</a>

<div id="Window">@Html.Partial("~/Views/Application/Index.vbhtml")</div>

<script>
    function openWindow() {
        $("#Window").kendoWindow({
            actions: ["Close"],
            width: 1290,
            height: 580,
            modal: true,
            title: "Loan Application",
            visible: false
        }).data("kendoWindow").center();
        $("#Window").data("kendoWindow").open();
    };
</script>


Application/Index.vbhtml

<input autocomplete="off" id="TxtUserID" />

<div id="grid"></div>

<script>
    $(function () {
        $('#TxtUserID').change(function () {
            LoanDataGrid()
        })
    });
</script>

<script>
    function LoanDataGrid() {
        var UserID = $("#TxtUserID").val();

        $("#grid").kendoGrid({
            dataSource: {
                     transport: {
                        read: {
                            data: { UserID: UserID },
                            dataType: "json",
                            url: '@Url.Action("Grid", "Application")',
                        }
                    },
                    schema: {
                        model: {
                            fields: {
                                Id: { type: "string" },
                                Name: { type: "string" },
                                Age: { type: "string" }
                            }
                        }
                },
                pageSize: 1
            },
            toolbar: ["search"],
            height: 205,
            scrollable: true,
            persistSelection: true,
            columns: [
                { field: "Id", title: "Id", width: "50px" },
                { field: "Name", title: "Name" },
                { field: "Age", title: "Age" },
            ]
        });
    };
</script>

Hello Joshua,

Thank you for the provided code snippet. 

Could you please review this forum thread that discusses a similar issue? It suggests using the refresh method before closing the Window.

Let me know if that would resolve the problem.

However, I have another issue,,, the code below successfully initializes the kendo date picker. But I want the input field to have the value of today's current date or a date from the server rather than just a blank field. How can I successfully archive that?

Regards

<input id="TodaysDate">

$("#TodaysDate").kendoDatePicker();

Hello Joshua,

You can use the value configuration to change the component's value.

Let me know how if you have any further questions.
