Hi,

I m currently using kendo MVVM framework and I want to use the validation feature provided by kendo.

I'm facing problem with validation when am displaying controls on a kendo window. here is the link to jsfiddle sample -  http://jsfiddle.net/saisworld/UquQ6/6/


It works for the item row in the table and for other rows it doesn't. Even after clicking the button Validate it doesn't show the validation message.

Please advise.

Thanks
Sai

Hi Sai,

The problem occurs because inputs does not have a name attribute. To avoid it, please make sure that each input has a unique name. For example, you can use the record's ID :
<script id="tbl-Sales-editTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    <tr>
        <td data-bind="text:ID"></td>
        <td><input type="text" name="input#:ID#" data-bind="value:CompanyName, attr: {validationMessage: CompanyNameValidationMsg}" required /> </td>
        <td data-bind="text:LengthOfContract"></td>
        <td data-bind="text:Status"></td>
    </tr>   
</script>

For your convenience I updated the jsFiddle sample:

Thanks Alexander. that worked.

I have one more query on the similar topic. Even though the validation message is displayed correctly for all the fields, the underlying view Model is getting updated as soon as we delete text from the text box.  Is there a way to force it to check for validity before updating the underlying  viewmodel?

Thanks
Sai

Hello Sai,

You may use the set event of the observable object:
For your convenience I updated the jsFiddle sample:
Relevant code is:
salesVM.bind("set", function(e) {
    if(!this.parent().parent().Isvalid()) { //check validity
        e.preventDefault(); //cancel viewmodel update
    }
});

This is completely stopping from updating the underlying viewModel even though validation condition passes.

I have update the JsFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/saisworld/UquQ6/11/

Hello Sai,

The if condition that I used to check the validity seems to be wrong for which I apologize. Please try the following:
salesVM.bind("set", function (e) {
    if (!e.value) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
});

For your convenience I updated the jsFiddle sample:
