How can I use Kendo Button Group with Reactive form?

[Srinivas]

Hi Team,

I'm creating one module to apply the style dynamically.
In that I'm using form as reactive form.
I used Kendo Button Group to select font weight & style like bold, italic and underline.
For the same I used BIU as different button in button group.
But I'm not able to apply the formControlName.

How can I do that?

Hi Srinivas,

In general, the ButtonGroup component isn't based on an input control which has a value. This is why the ButtonGroup or the Buttons components don't support Angular forms. Consequently the ButtonGroup doesn't allow to be bound to an Angular FormControl.

Hi Svet,

Your right but there should be some way to handle this kind of issues.

Hi Srinivas,

Could you provide some more details as to what is the end result that you would like to achieve for the ButtonGroup? Thank you. That will allow me to better understand the requirement and I will try to suggest something different than binding the ButtonGroup to a FormControl. I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi Svet,

I want to get & set the data using reactive form module for ButtonGroup nothing else.

Hi Srinivas,

Thank you for the provided latest details.

The selected state of the buttons within a ButtonGroup can be programmatically controlled via the [selected] input property of the buttons.

I understand that this may be disappointing, but there isn't a way to control the state of the buttons via a FormControl due to the earlier mentioned limitations.
