Kendo and Angular - ng-if

[Peter]

Is it possible that kendo angular directives are not initialized if directive is surrounded with ng-if directive (initially false)?

I have that behavior with menu and window directives. Is there some workaround.

Hello,

It works for me.  Here is an example that shows it for a few widgets: http://plnkr.co/edit/M0IMrCk05c7zBkSJQlVp?p=preview

Can you replicate the issue you see in a plunker?

I can't reproduce this here but ng-if still making problems.
Look here what happened with hidden menu item (style) after visibility has been changed http://plnkr.co/edit/xpbru4ALDW4eMHDZXQD2?p=previewI

It is not even menu item any more. It doesn't react on click, hover, etc.

Hi,

That's because with ng-if the item is not in the DOM at all when the widget is first constructed.  It's the same problem as with ng-repeat, unfortunately not fixable.

For this case you can use ng-show instead: http://plnkr.co/edit/YEFxNMmuFnjbXS7sCA7B?p=preview
