function onChange(e) <== What's up with e.sender? Doesn't seem to be a complete reference

[Michael]

Inside selContentItem() shouldn't e.sender be the kendoListView and thus the same as (in this case) $('#contentListView').data('kendoListView')? When I break and debug, it looks like it (though == returns false), but e.sender.dataSource is empty.

$('#contentListView').kendoListView({
        dataSource: data
        , template: kendo.template($("#template").html())
        , selectable: "single"
        , schema: {
            model: {
                children: "Children"
                , id: "id"
                , hasChildren: "hasChildren"
            }
        }
        ,change: selContentItem
    });

function selContentItem(e) {
    //I would expect the following to return true and if it did (and similar logic followed), the next line would work nicely but it doesn't because the first line returns false. Why?

    console.log(e.sender == $('#contentListView').data('kendoListView'));
    console.log(e.sender.dataSource.view()[e.sender.select().index()]);

}

Hello Michael,

Both e.sender and this in the context of the ListView change event are reference to the ListView itself. Here is an example for that:

Thank you. My mistake was purely logical. Apparently I was very tired.  I was trying to compare a TreeView with a ListView  :)
