Dynamic LoadContentFrom using jquery

[Jerry]

Hi,


I have a kendo window (child view) defined in the parent view which is set to hidden until the "Add" button is clicked.

This window has the "LoadContentFrom" property set which calls a method in the controller.

The parameters are currently static with only one value used every time the window is opened but is there any way to change just the parameters for "LoadContentFrom" using jquery?


This is what the parent view looks like:
    @(Html.Kendo().Window()
        .Name("PurchaseOrderDetailWindow")
        .Title("Update Purchase Order")
        .Draggable()
        .Visible(false)
        .Iframe(true)
        .Width(1000)
        .Height(662)
        .Modal(true)
        .LoadContentFrom("PODetailView", "Home", new { isNewPO = "true", companyId = 2 })
        .Actions(actions => actions.Minimize().Maximize().Close())
        .Events(e => e.Close("WindowClosed"))
    )

This is what the add button looks like (static loading of data)
    // Open window for new Purchase Order creation.
    function AddPurchaseOrder(e) {
        var window = $("#PurchaseOrderDetailWindow").data("kendoWindow");
        window.center().open();
    }

Is there any way to modify the above AddPurchase method to dynamically change "LoadContentFrom("PODetailView", "Home", new { isNewPO = "true", companyId = 2 })"

Mainly the "new {isNewPO = ....}" section,


Thanks in advance

Hello Jerry,

Dynamically changing the content property of the Kendo UI Window is not supported. You can destroy the widget and recreate it again, using the new content parameters.

Hello Jerry,

I forgot to add that it is possible to use the refresh() method of the Kendo UI Window, so you can load different content inside your window. 

Please accept my apologies for not mentioning this in the first response.

Is it possible to delay the window from loading it's content until it is opened when configuring a LoadContextFrom action?

Hi Bob,

You can use the refresh method to manually load the content of the window whenever needed. Here is the documentation about it:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/window#methods-refresh

You can listen for the open event and then load the content. More information about this event is available here:
