I would like to pass the filter and sort criteria to an action using a toolbar custom command. Ultimately, I'd like to export a CSV or Excel file. What is the best way to go about this?

I first tried the following, but it did not work.

The view

The controller

Hi Guys, Im trying to refactor my javascript to fit the Revealing Module Pattern, but am coming up with a few issues. To start with following is my viewModel function:

/***********************************/
function Contacts_Details_ViewModel(SelectedContactID) {  
    var self = this;
    var selectedContact;
    var selectedContactID = SelectedContactID;
    var contacts_Details_DataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: $('#urlLink').data('url') + '?tenantID=1&dataType=Contacts_Details',
                dataType: "json",
                data: {
                    actionName: function () {                        
                        return selectedContactID;
                    }
                }
            },
            update: {
                url: $('#urlLink').data('url') + '/SaveChanges?tenantID=1&actionName=Contacts_Details',
                dataType: "json",
                type: "POST",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
            },
            parameterMap: function (options, operation) {
                if (operation !== "read" && options.models) {
                    return JSON.stringify(options.models);
                }
                return options;
            }
        },
        batch: true, 
        change: function () {
            selectedContact = this.view()[0];                        
        },
        schema: {
            model: {
                id: "ContactID"
       }
        }
    });
    contacts_Details_DataSource.read();
    var goToContactsListing = function () {        
        this.selectedContactID = null;
        location.hash = ''
    }

    var change = function () {
        hasChanges = true;        
    }

    var hasChanges = false;

    var saveChanges = function () {
        contacts_Details_DataSource.sync();
        hasChanges = false;        
    }

    return {
        contacts_Details_DataSource: contacts_Details_DataSource,
        selectedContact: selectedContact,
        goToContactsListing: goToContactsListing,
        change: change,
        hasChanges: hasChanges,
        saveChanges: saveChanges
    };
}

Hi,
I want to have a input text box with search enabled just like the type='search' input box available in the jquerymobile.
i.e. No need to have the search button next to it, but it turns the iPhone return button into the search button.

http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.0/docs/forms/search/index.html 

Would it be possible to do this in Kendo Mobile view?

alternatively, I wouldn't mind using the jquerymobile directly in my Kendo Mobile view if possible(I tried this ,, <input type='search' /> and didn't work. 

Any help would be much appreciated,

Regards,

JOhn C

Hi,

Is there a method available to smooth the pointer's transition between values in a radial gauge?

For example, if I set the value to 0 and then click to change the value to 100, the needle seems to very quickly (almost instantly) jump to the 100 position. This results in a unrealistic gauge. Is there a way to slow the animation?

I have tried the suggestion seen in another thread here, but it seemed to have no effect:

        animation: {
            duration: 10 // milliseconds that the animation will take to play
        } 

Thanks.

Hi
Using the TabStrip UI element in our ASP.NET MVC 3 application using the Razor engine and binding the control to an IEnumerable<T> we noticed the following behaviour.

• Using a FOR loop on the IEnumerable<T> to generate the Tab Items (Tab pages) works fine
• But setting the Tab Item Content within the same loop for some reason causes some kind of a deferred execution, the contents seem to be set after the tab pages are created (which I assume is related to the load-on-demand feature of the tabstrip)
• The problem is, the iteration seem to be using the last element in the model to set the content of all the tab pages.

Here is the sample code, could you please direct to the mistake in it or the right method using razor to acheive the same.

@model IEnumerable<KendoMVCExample.Models.CustomerAddress>
...
@(Html.Kendo().TabStrip()
    .Name("CustomerAddressTabStrip")
    .Items(items =>
    {
        foreach (var customer in Model)
        {
            items.Add()
            .Content(@<text> @RenderTableContent(customer) </text>)//<----this fails {last address is repeated on all} 
            .Text(customer.CustomerName); //<----this works fine 
        }        
    }).SelectedIndex(0)
    )
 
     @helper RenderTableContent(KendoMVCExample.Models.CustomerAddress customer)
         {
          <table>
             <tr>
                 <td>
                     @customer.AddressLine1<br />
                     @customer.AddressLine2<br />
                     @customer.AddressLine3<br />
                 </td>
             </tr>
         </table>
    }

In editor, How Do I Add A Background Image To My TextArea? How to change backgroundcolor of a textarea?

this way don't work: 
<textarea id="editor" rows="10" cols="30" style="width:710px; height:750px; background-image:url(layout.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;">
</textarea>

http://demos.kendoui.com/calendar/template.html

I began implementing a variation on the demo example using almost an identical array of dates. I noticed that all my dates were adding the template a month ahead of the date I configured. But, then I went back and looked back at the example and noticed that it's doing the same there.

Here's my code (also added a screen shot of the month the dates are rendering):

I have a kendoGrid to display fields as text boxes and I would like to use validation on the input text boxes using kendoValidator.
I would expect to see a message against each text box but only one validation message is reused for each cell.
How do we use the kendoValidator within kendoGrid that uses a row template and generates input tags for each fields.
I have attached a sample file with a grid and validation within it.

I get the error that the username variable is not defined.
Below is what is in the source:  I have tried various casing for the username.
When I get the undefined error, I can pass my variable, but I cannot page because of the error.
If I remove the error by making my variable all lowercase, the passed in variable is null.

function anonymous(data) {
var o,e=kendo.htmlEncode;with(data){o='<tr data-uid="'+(uid)+'"><td ><a href=\'/Admin/Admin/GetUserRoles/UserName='+(username)+'\'>'+(UserName)+'</a></td><td >'+(e(Email))+'</td><td >'+(e(IsApproved))+'</td><td >'+(e(IsLockedOut))+'</td><td >'+(e(IsOnline))+'</td><td >'+(e(LastLoginDate))+'</td></tr>';}return o;
}

I have no idea why this is occurring.  It looks right to me.  I think it is a bug in Kendo.

Hello 
I have multiple series running on a graph of type line . now my client requires that the visibility of each of the series be externally controlled. that is for example if i have a div or li list of series somewhere on the page clicking them i should be able to toggle the visibility of respective series on the graph . for example clicking <div>series A</div> should toggle the visibility of 'series A' on the graph.
I wonder if this is in the scope of the kendo dataviz
