We're using this control for tags and we want to let them select an existing tag or add a new tag.

What's the recommended approach for adding an option to the list such as "Add New" that uses the currently entered text to create a new item?

Checkbox events not firing the second time.

Hi,

I have a TreeView for a filter on a dashboard, and it's not processing the click on the checkbox the second time. I've attached a screen shot with more details.

I'm not sure what I have wrong.
Creating the TreeView:

/* Topics illustrated in this file:

* How to configure options from base

* How to define and access custom options

* How to capture scope

* How to manipulate the DOM of "this"

* How to expose custom methods

* How to expose an event handler delegate

*/

define([

'jquery',

'underscore',

'utils/helpers',

'text!views/schoolFilterItem.html',

'kendoui/kendo.treeview.min',

], function ($, _, Helpers, schoolFilterItemTemplate) {

var schoolData;

// This defines a Kendo widget object

var TreeView = kendo.ui.TreeView.extend({

init: function (element, options) {

// Assigning this to another variable name captures the context of init, which is "this TreeView"

var me = this;

options.dataSource = {

transport: {

read: function (options) {

$.getJSON(Helpers.toServicesUrl("/GetfltSchoolByDistrict"),

{

// If you tried to use "this" in here, it would refer to the dataSource instead of the TreeView

userName: me.options.userName,

districtId: me.options.districtId,

schoolCodes: me.options.schoolCodes

},

function (data) {

options.success([]);

schoolData = data.GetfltSchoolByDistrictResult.RootResults;

schoolData = [

options.dataBound = function (e) {

me.element.find("input:checkbox:first").prop("disabled", true);

me.element.find("input:checkbox").on("change", function (e) {

var parentItems = $(e.target).parents(".k-item");

var node = parentItems.eq(0);

var parentNode = parentItems.eq(1);

e.target.checked = false;

return;

}

me.element.find("input:checked").each(function () {

var eachDataItem = me.dataItem($(this).closest(".k-item"))

if (eachDataItem.SchoolTypeName !== dataItem.SchoolTypeName) {

this.checked = false;

this.indeterminate = false;

//lah testing adding something here.

// me.schoolTypeChanged(e);

me.onSchoolChange(e);

}

//gmo when school names don't match

if (eachDataItem.SchoolName !== dataItem.SchoolName) {

this.checked = false;

me.onSchoolChange(e);

}

});

}

kendo.ui.TreeView.fn.init.call(this, element, options);

},

options: {

// This is what determines the name of the custom method, e.g. .kendoSchoolFilterTreeView

name: "TreeViewSchoolFilterSingle",

// Declare new options with default values. Options must be declared here in order to be accepted and passed through to init().

userName: "",

districtId: 0,

schoolCodes: function () { return "" },

// Anything else you pass in options will get passed to the base widget

dataTextField: ["text", "SchoolTypeName", "SchoolName"],

checkboxes: true

},

getSelectedSchoolType: function () {

var me = this;

return _(this.element.find("input:checked").closest(".k-item"))

.chain()

//                                              .map(function (item) { return ktvSchoolFilter.dataItem(item).SchoolType; })

.map(function (item) { return me.dataItem(item).SchoolType; })

.filter(function (item) { return item; })

.value()[0];

},

// This is how to get the selected school from the radio group

getSelectedSchoolCodes: function () {

var me = this;

return _(this.element.find("input:checked").closest(".k-item"))

.chain()

//                                              .map(function (item) { return ktvSchoolFilter.dataItem(item).SchoolCode; })

.filter(function (item) { return item; })

.value()

.join(",");

},

onSchoolChange: function (e) {

return;

},

schoolTypeChanged: function (e) {

return;

}

});

// This is what registers the custom widget and adds the kendo* method to the jQuery object

kendo.ui.plugin(TreeView);

});

How it's used in my program, including several variations on binding.

ktvSchoolFilter = $("#schoolFilterTree").kendoTreeViewSchoolFilterSingle({

userName: WSIPCContext.UserName,

districtId: WSIPCContext.DistrictId,

schoolCodes: WSIPCContext.SchoolCodes,

onSchoolChange: schoolCodeChanged,

change: schoolCodeChanged,

schoolTypeChanged: schoolCodeChanged,

checkbox: {

onClick: schoolCodeChanged

}

}).data("kendoTreeViewSchoolFilterSingle");

//This code allows the grade level and risk categories to change when a checkbox

//is selected, not just the label.

ktvSchoolFilter.dataSource.bind("change", schoolCodeChanged);

ktvSchoolFilter.dataSource.bind("select", schoolCodeChanged);

ktvSchoolFilter.dataSource.bind("selecting", schoolCodeChanged);

ktvSchoolFilter.dataSource.bind("navigate", schoolCodeChanged);

ktvSchoolFilter.bind("change", schoolCodeChanged);

ktvSchoolFilter.bind("select", schoolCodeChanged);

ktvSchoolFilter.bind("selecting", schoolCodeChanged);

ktvSchoolFilter.bind("navigate", schoolCodeChanged

[Solved] Set cancel option on a grid that has already been initialized

Is there a way to set the cancel option on a grid that has already been initialized?

I'm using the serverside MVC wrapper and have this:
.Events(events => events.Cancel("function() {alert('hi');}"))

Clientside I tried:
$("#grdTest").kendoGrid({ cancel: function () { alert("canceled"); } });
and
$kendoGrid = $("#grdTest").data("kendoGrid");
$kendoGrid.options.cancel = function () {
alert('Canceled');
};

Editor removes src attribute in IE8

I'm using the javascript version of the KendoUI Editor. I've tried loading the editor with this in the text field:
<img src="someimagehere.png" alt="" />

After the editor loads, the html says the field has this:
<img alt="" />

This only happens when I'm working in IE8. What's happening?

[Solved] Splitter script error on window resize on IE 9 - when splitter is removed from DOM and added again dynamically

Hi,

In a MVC4 application I am working, I have some menu links, clicking on these links, I load the relevant page as an ajax partial view below the menu links.
One of the partial views contains a splitter. When I load this partial view containing splitter and navigate to other partial views clicking on other links, and if I come back to the view with the splitter partial view - on window resize the scripts throw an error saying that 'offsetWidth' is null. This happens on IE 9.0 only

Environment
Browser: IE 9.0
Kendo Version: 2013.2.918.340

I have put up a simple mvc4 application demonstrating that.
Steps to reproduce :
1) Click on the link 'Load splitter view below' (Loads a view with splitter beneath the link)
2) Click on the link 'Load non splitter view below' (Replaces the splitter view with a non splitter view)
3) Click on the link 'Load splitter view below' (Loads the splitter view again)
4) Resize the browser window, then the script breaks saying 'offsetWidth' is null. Resizing the window is triggering resize event on splitter, where it is breaking

Can you please see if this is a real issue or if I am missing out anything here ?

MVC Grid not populating from datasource

Hi All,

I'm new to KendoUI so please bear with me. I've a Kendo gird on a view as below:

(I've taken out the extra CRUD lines for clarity as I've not got as far as implementing them yet).

@using Kendo.Mvc.UI

@using MvcApplication2.Models

@{

ViewBag.Title = "Index";

}

<h2>Index</h2>

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MerchantStore>()

.Name("grid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(p => p.MerchantStoreId);

columns.Bound(p => p.Name);

columns.Bound(p => p.Address1);

columns.Bound(p => p.TelephoneNumber);

columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); });

})

.ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())

.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))

.Pageable()

.Sortable()

.Scrollable()

// .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:1430px;" })

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.PageSize(20)

.Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))

.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.MerchantStoreId))

.Read(read => read.Action("Read", "Home"))

)

<script type="text/javascript">

function error_handler(e) {

if (e.errors) {

var message = "Errors:\n";

$.each(e.errors, function (key, value) {

if ('errors' in value) {

$.each(value.errors, function() {

message += this + "\n";

});

}

});

alert(message);

}

</script>

I'm trying to hook up the controller to return a json result provided by a wcf webservices. As below:

public ActionResult Read([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)

{

var client = new WebClient();

return View("Index", Json(

client.DownloadString("http://localhost:11462/Service1.svc/rest/ListMerchantStore" +

"?merchantId=10000"), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet));

}

but I just get an empty grid. The json looks like:

{"d":[{"__type":"MerchantStoreData:#WcfServiceLibrary1","Address1":"Add1","Address2":null,"Address3":null,"CountryId":826,"CountyState":"","Deleted":false,"EmailAddress":null,"MerchantId":10000,"MerchantIndustryId":1001,"MerchantStoreId":10213,"MerchantStoreKey":"654321","Name":"TEST","PostZipCode":null,"StatusId":0,"TelephoneNumber":null,"TownCity":"City"},{"__type":"MerchantStoreData:#WcfServiceLibrary1","Address1":"Add1","Address2":"Add2","Address3":"Add3","CountryId":826,"CountyState":"","Deleted":false,"EmailAddress":"a@a.a","MerchantId":10000,"MerchantIndustryId":1001,"MerchantStoreId":10214,"MerchantStoreKey":"654321","Name":"TEST","PostZipCode":"","StatusId":1,"TelephoneNumber":"123456","TownCity":"City"}]}

Please can someone kindly point out where i'm going wrong.

Many Thanks

View scrolling locks up, unlocks on drawer show+hide

I've distilled the problem into a jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/dTBN6/6/

You can reproduce the problem by doing the following steps :

Click the "To page 2" button
Resize your window so content is long enough to allow scrolling
Scroll down a bit
Open drawer and go back to page 1
Click the "To page 2" button again
Attempt to scroll - the view's scrolling is locked
Open drawer. Then close it.
Attempt to scroll - it works
Repeat from step 4

If you access page 2 via the link in the drawer, scrolling does not lock up.

What gets triggered when the drawer is shown / hidden that causes the scrolling to unlock?
Can I trigger this manually in page two's "show" event handler?
Is there anyway to fix this?
