Initiate PanelBar Content from DataSource

[Jesse]

I am using below code to populate the content of a panel bar. If I hard code source value to a json string, all works well. But, when I read the source value from a service, no luck. Please refer below for the relevant code.
Thanks for your time and help.


<script>
       $(document).ready(function() {
             var app = new kendo.mobile.Application(document.body);
            $("#viewtitle").html("Navi 4");

            var viewModel = kendo.observable({
                 invitations: new kendo.data.DataSource({
                  transport: {
                       read: {
                                  dataType: "json",
                                  url: "http://localhost:8080/NavXzy/rest/SecurityService/getNotifications?emailAddress=[e-mail]"
                                 }
                  }
             })
       });

           kendo.bind($("#invitationsDiv"), viewModel);
          $("#invitationsPanelBar").kendoPanelBar({});
   });
</script>

Hi Jesse,

I am afraid that the PanelBar widget currently does not support binding to a DataSource object. In order to use a PanelBar with a remote data you would have to get the data before the widget is initialized. Here is a simple example illustrating how this could be done by using a DataSource and its requestEnd event handler.
