Hello Kendo,

I was really excited about trying the Kendo mobile UI demos, but why do the demos display the virutal mobile device, even on my iPhone?  Can I see how the mobile UI renders the controls natively on my iPhone without the virtual mobile device?

Thank you.

Hi,

I am playing with the grid to consume data from a webservice. The webservice accepts only json object. So I try the params "take=5&skip=0&page=1&pageSize=5" to convert to a json string with parameterMap, but this dosn't work. Are there any emxamples?

Cheers,
George

Hopefully this is a simple question.  I have multiple places on my page which correspond to different items on the page for which a user can attach a file.  I want to have one file upload element on the page and just be able to call it from other elements.

How do I call the click on the element?  I don't see any information in your documentation telling me how to accomplish this.

Can you please give me some example code examples for customising the Filter pop up on a grid.

For example we would like to remove the 'Ends With' option from the first drop down and also is it possible remove the second part of filter argument e.g - remove the AND and second drop down on some of columns. Obviously some colums will be different.

I have a filterable grid that I need to apply filters at the client for all but one column.  I had hoped to be ablt to detect a filter has been applied to or removed from a column but cannot seem to find the feature.

Is it possible or is there something else I can do?

Hi,

Most of the demos shown on this site are nice and pretty but clearly are happy exampleville projects.  Ie one page one control, everything works fast and nice, no problems ( and no real world challenges)...  My intent with this post is not to slam but to encourage.

We've been using Telerik libs for 3+ years  so this question comes from a lot of history putting together a "real world" web site with poly telerik controls...  There is a big difference between a single page, single control demo and a usable site - there were many integration challenge$ to get to a point where I would call our telerik based project a web site.

I love the Kendoui concepts shown here but fear the same steep path of getting a KendoUI based "portal site" running that we went through on the Telerik AJAX .net side ( to be different sites).

Is there an example project available that approximates a web portal wireframe that has multiple Kendoui controls interacting?

My suggestion for a "real world" portal project would minimally consist of:

A menu top bar with multiple items/sub items where the items were data driven (read: role based)
Each of the menu items opens content below the menu w/o a full page reload
   (any sub items shown from the menu float above the content area below the menu control)
One of the menu content pages should contain a data grid with
  - data originating from a SQL database with a 'large' number of records returned (say at least 10K rows)
    ( datasource is anything other than a static XML file someplace)
  - have the data displayed by the grid be the result of > 1 UI selections from controls above the grid
    (say selections from a calendar and from an auto fill control as 'where' conditions)
  - have the grid scale to fit the available space on the screen below the menu and criteria controls
  - have the rows in the grid scale to fit the available number of rows in the grid (no vert scrolls, pagesize adjusts)
  - resize the page, and have the grid resize to fit along with its data.
  - re-apply a new criteria with the UI controls and then have the grid update with a status indicator
  - have the dates in the returned data displayed in MM/DD/YYYY format
  - have the currency data returned formatted in $12.45 format
 - prevent long returned strings from wrapping to another row
 - have the grid columns sort the contents of the grid while maintaining the size and row count of the grid
 - Allow the data in the grid to be exportable
Have this example render in iOS/mobile and Mac and PC desktop browsers with the appropriate view/controls shown.
Have all of the Kendoui controls take their skin/style from a combo box positioned above the menu control

Each of these seemingly "duh" items were painful development mini project$ in the AJAX.net libraries.

Please let me know how I can help with the creation of  demo above  - I am SURE that the above scenario will not be a one hit wonder request- in fact I'd bet that there are a fair number of users thinking of applications along the same lines but haven't gone through assembling the demos shown on your site into a larger project (like what we did on the Telerik AJAX.net side)

Kind Regards,
AJ

I have made a nice grid. Everything was fine until I made it editable.

When clicking in a cell, Firebug showed this error:

model is undefined

In Chrome:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'editable' of undefined

After some research, I found the cause of the problem, and its solution. I want to share it here. If someone else faces the same issue, may save a bit of time...

The problem happened because I had a rowTemplate configuration for the grid. When the row is generated by Kendo, it automatically adds a data-id attribute to the table-row (tr) element. To fix the issue, I had to add this to my row template. In my case, the whole row contents are generated by a JavaScript function. I manually added the missing data-id attribute in the tr like this:


Of course, the data-id attribute must have the proper "id" value for that row.

I hope this helps...

I want to sort a text column alphabetically ascending but with empty values at the end rather than the beginning. Is there a way to specific a custom sort order such as this?

Thanks for your help,
Gary

I found a bug in IE 7 and 8 (sorry we have to use this versions in Windows XP).
I modified your example to a very basic version. If you try the following code, then you see that the calender popup is NOT closed.
If you add the following line after line 22 (CSS of #container"): "padding: 1px" then it works like expected.

Try this code:


The bug only exists in IE 7 and 8, not in IE 9 or in Firefox or in Chrome or in Safary.

Thank you for your exciting work - excellent!

When using a list in both iOS and Android try scrolling down so the list shows some empty space at the top. Quickly tap that space and the list will het stuck, it won't go back down automatically. Sometimes the list wil disappear completely! I discovered this while using Kendo UI Mobile together with PhoneGap but also noticed the same effect in the browser.
