global disable animations

[Denis]

Hello! I want to global disable animation (dropdown/combobox sliding, window popup fading and so on).
How I can do it with minimum code? Is KendoUI have global flag for this?

Thanks alot! You made a beautiful framework with amazing cross-platform capabilities! :)

Hi Denis,

If you don't load the FX javascript file (kendo.fx.min.js), the animations will be automatically disabled.

Is there a way to disable animations if you are loading kendo.web.min.js? For instance, could I just set kendo.fx to undefined? I'd like to disable them only for IE <9. I'm using a lot of the framework, and it doesn't make sense to load all the other files individually.

Hello,

I am afraid that such approach would not work, as the design of our framework relies on kendo.fx having simpler implementation (present in kendo.core) and a more complex one that handles the animations (in kendo.fx). 

Something which I may suggest is to set the animation duration to zero, in certain cases (IE, for example). 

All the best,

I ended up just getting a custom download of Kendo Web without the animation. Then I used conditional comments to include the full version or no-animation version depending on IE version. I don't really like this, but it works.

What I'd like is something like jQuery does:

$.fx.off = true; // globally disable jQuery animations
