Enabled data-bind attribute in MVVM accepts only a function

[Sunny]

With other widgets, the data-bind="enabled: false" attribute normally works, and disables that particular widget in MVVM, but it seems like this parameter only works with a function name.

Using Kendo 2014.3.1119. Checked the update logs, and didn't see this particular issue addressed.

Sorry, meant that it only takes a reference to a bound parameter, and not a boolean as well.

Hello Sunny,

If I understood correctly, the problem is that the "button widget enabled binding does not work when the bound field contains boolean value". Is that correct?

I was not able to reproduce the behaviour in this demo page. What am I missing?

What I'm looking for is for this to be working:

<button data-role="button" data-bind="enabled: false">Click me</button>

Hello Sunny,

This is not possible, you must bind to a value in the ViewModel. In case you want to just disable the button, use a data-enable attribute:

<button data-role="button" data-enable="false">Click me</button>
