Hi, 

Is it possible to highlight (set background colour of) a specific date regardless of the view the user is looking at?

I've tried to combine Set Slot Background Color Using Slot Templates and views.dayTemplate however I havent been very successful.

Note that Im trying to set the background colour of a day NOT the colour of an event.

Thanks and Kind Regards, 
Grant

I have a grid and I've created a custom compare routine for one of the columns. When I click the header (sorting ascending) the data is sorted and the UI reflects the newly sorted ordering. I can tell that my compare method is being called and since the sort order is correct, that it is correct. When I click the header again, while I see that the compare method is called, and it is returning the correct values, the UI does not update to reflect the descending sort ordering. There are no javascript errors reported, so I am at a loss - it seems that all the parts are working except that the UI is not updating properly.

If anyone has any ideas on things I can check and/or try, I'd appreciate your help.

For autoComplete dataItem takes only number, but valid parameter is also JQuery.

Hi,

we are using Kendo Professional in an SPA application (only JS and WebApi) and we have a couple use cases of localization that we cannot achieve using documented methods and practices, so we are turning to this forum for help.

What we have now

We use mainly MVVM and already have a setup that allows us to load the correct culture/messages files and replace data-attributes that contain text with the updated strings; sometimes we have non-mvvm widgets that we call setOptions on manually.

We also have about a dozen custom widgets with texts in options like:

First use-case: complete app-localization

1. What is the right approach to localize widget options? Like input placeholders, windows titles, etc ...
2.  Is there a way to refresh widgets' data-attributes? (could calling setOptions for every widget, with the new parsed options from the element, be a solution?)

We have looked at stackoverflow, general blogs and this forum but no one seems to have a proposed solution. Only this thread was heading in the right way but it died years ago.

We don't want to put resources in viewmodels because we'd have to refactor many views and because a viewmodel should not be aware of what widget is currently rendered.

Second use-case: single view layout change

We have a custom view (with a single viewmodel) that should have different layout based on a user-selection, currently we are doing this:

1. calling kendo.destroy/unbind on the #view
2. replacing the innerHTML of the #view
3. calling kendo.bind(#view, viewmodel)

This is leading to big memory leaks and general bad performances after 3/4 executions.

What is the correct way of doing this?

Third use-case: single view/widget localization

Additionally, we have a single view that should be localized independently from the rest of the application; currently we are doing as indicated in theuse case nr 2 (destroy, update data-attributes, bind again); we know that this won't localize dates/currencies but we have only custom widgets in this view so it is not a problem for now.

This is causing the same memory leak as above that leads to several Megabytes (if not a Gigabyte) if used ram for the single chrome page if this function is called more than 6-10 times in a row, and the browsed becomes unusable after less than 10 times.

This could be replaced with a setOptions on all the fields if was implemented something like a kendo.refresh($element) that re-parses all data-attributes and calls setOptions.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

There is a bug in vertical gauge margins we have come across when assigning margins which have different vertical and horizontal lengths.

On line 1079 of kendo.dataviz.gauge.js there is the following:

var bbox2d = new dataviz.Box2D(bboxX, bboxX,

This should be

var bbox2d = new dataviz.Box2D(bboxX, bboxy,

Thanks,

Ben

I am trying to set menu (ul element) z-index bellow the window and all children (on root item hover - .k-animation-container) greater then window z-index.

I try to set .k-animation-container z-index higher then window, but it doesn't work.

How can I display menu root items bellow window and all non-root items (everything that opens, including popup menu) above window?

My spreadsheet loads fine, but the order in which it loads the columns is odd based on the datasource I'm pulling from. I'd like to specify the order they're in, as well as the name of said columns.

I have the following code:

///////////////
                        $("#spreadsheet").kendoSpreadsheet({
                            columns: 17,
                            columnWidth: 100,
                            rows: 100,
                            
                            toolbar: true,
                            sheetsbar: true,
                            excel: {                
                                // Required to enable Excel Export in some browsers
                                proxyURL: "//demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/export"
                            },
                            sheets: [{
                                name: "Summary",
                                dataSource: summaryDS
                                
                            },{
                                name: "Customers",
                                dataSource: customersDS,
                                    columns: [
                                        {
                                            field: "nummer",
                                            title: "Number"
                                        },
                                        {
                                            field: "ans",
                                            title: "Customer"
                                    }]

I have a grid with custom editors (kendo datepicker, kendo numericTextBox) and one field that does not have a custom editor defined

When I am in edit mode, and change the value in either of columns using custom editor templates, the dataItem.dirty flag is not changed. It is only correctly tracked in the default editor.

columns: [
{
    field: "amount",
title: "Amount (bps)",
//editor: function(container, options){
// container.append(amountTemplate);
//}
},
{
field: "startDate",
title: "Start Date",
template: startDateTemplate,
editor: function(container, options){
container.append(startDateTemplate);
}
},
{
field: "endDate",
title: "End Date (months)",
template: '<span ng-if="!dataItem.isBeingEdited">{{!!dataItem.endDate ? dataItem.endDate : "&boxh;"}}</span>',
editor: function(container, options){
container.append(endDateTemplate);
}
