How to prevent the first binding on page load of ListView MVC

[mo2011ti]

Hi,

I'm Using ListView MVC Wrapper and i want to prevent the first binding on page load

i try to use e.preventDefault() in the RequestStart of the DataSource Event of the ListView, this is not working
i cant fint .AutoBind(false) Like the DropDownList control Has....

i didnt find nothing in the documentation or forums both ListView and DataSource

Thanks

var g_firstLoading = true;

function ListView_RequestStart(e) {

if (g_firstLoading) {

e.preventDefault()

g_firstLoading = false;

return;

}

}

Maybe the wrapper is not up to date and it does not have the autobind option (I don't know for sure).
But if you want it asap, the kendo ui framework does have an autoBind option for the listview.
The only drawback is that you should write yourself the html code for the control and the javascript code.

Thanks for your answer.
i do use the latest build of kendo UI.

if i can use on  page load

var listObj = $("#MyListView").data("kendoListView");
listObj.options.autoBind = false;

but listObj in undefined on page load...

if there is a way to set this before the RequestStart Happened.

You should create the control via javascript not with the wrapper:

$("#MyListView").kendoListView({

    dataSource: {

        transport: {

            read: {

                url: 'yoururlhere'

            }

        }

    },

    autoBind: false

});

This would be a very basic listview, it would create the control but no data would be retrieved until you call the read method of the dataSource.

i know that, but i'm using the MVC wrapper for some reasons.

i wish the Kendo Team will response to that issue and maybe they will have a solution for that
or maybe they can publish new build of the Kendo UI for MVC that solve that issue

Thanks for your response

Hello Mordehay,

.AutoBind(false) was recently added to ListView wrapper configuration. You can try with latest internal build where this options should be available.
