Editor in Window

[Nick]

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)

@using (Ajax.BeginForm("AddComment", "Incident", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "Post", OnSuccess = "onSuccess('AddWindow')" }))

{

    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

 

    <div class="editor-field">

        @(Html.Kendo().EditorFor(model => model.Comment)

                .Name("Comment")

                .Tools(tool => tool

                    .Clear()

                    .Bold()

                    .Italic()

                    .Underline()

                    .InsertOrderedList()

                    .InsertUnorderedList()

                    .JustifyLeft()

                    .JustifyCenter()

                    .JustifyRight()

                    .JustifyFull()

                    .Indent()

                    .Outdent()

                    .CreateLink()

                                   .Unlink()))

        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Comment)

    </div>

    @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.IncidentId)

    <p>

        <input type="submit" value="Add Comment" class="k-button" />

    </p>

}

On our Detail page:

@(Html.Kendo().Window()

           .Name("AddWindow")

           .Title("Add Comment")

           .Content(@<div>@Html.Partial("IncidentCommentAddPartial", Model.AddComment)</div>)

           .Draggable(true)

           .Modal(true)

           .Visible(false)

           .Width(625)

          )

Our onclick function for the window:

$('#addComment').click(function (e) {

            e.preventDefault();

            window.center().open();

        });

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

Any workarounds/solutions , anything??

This nesting technique worked in Telerik MVC but does not work in KendoUI MVC

Need help on this?

I also have the same problem with Nick.

It'd be great if there's solution for this.

Thanks.

Hello,

There are two separate problems, which cause the unexpected Editor look:

1. The widget cannot adjust its layout when initialized hidden
2. The Editor is initialized twice when initialized before the Window, because the Editor is moved in the DOM and its intiialization script is executed twice.

Problem 2 is fixed in the latest internal build, while problem 1 will be resolved in the next internal build of Kendo UI.

Greetings,
