using 2 flat data sources and combining for display

Hi

Is there a way that i can use 2 flat data sources to stitch together an editable screen that is fully supported for mvvm.

In my example i have countries and cities, city has a fk column to country. See fiddle example

Of course in the example it incorrectly lists all cities under each country as there is no filtering

Note :- I understand that this could be as a nested field of cities under country, but my remote data source doesnt support this, instead it gives me 2 flat result sets.

So i want to bind a div to the countries as my driving data, then from within each country template i want to bind another to the subset of cities for that country...

Its probably obvious... Any suggestions welcome

Thanks

Chris

Best way to draw chart with dynamically changing data?

Hello,

We're evaluating tools for drawing data that will be dynamically changing (streams of data being pushed to the client). We tried setting up a page using the Kendo UI Graph. The data renders and updates, but the redraw is noticeably slow and flickers. We're currently calling the refresh() method on the chart to redraw after we append new values to the data source. Is there are more efficient method for redrawing streaming data or some parameters that affect the redraw behavior that I haven't been able to locate? For comparison, the Flot library for jQuery is noticeably smooth when rendering.

Thank you.

ValueTemplate property missing

I've tried to add a custom ValueTemplate to my DropDownList like it is described in the Kendo demo-section "Customizing Templates" -
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/dropdownlist/template.html

It seems that in the current release 2013.3.1119.340 the DropDownList-property ValueTemplate is missing. How do I accomplish a custom valueTemplate without this property? I'm using MVC Razor.

Kendo chart does not handle very small values

see fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/A2URt/

the kendo chart does not seem to handle very small values well. We included two examples one with very small values, the other one with a bit larger values. The edge case seems to lie in values 1.0e-7.

Can somebody help, explain etc?

Kind regards Dennis

Cancel checkbox parent click

Hello,
I have a need to cancel a checkbox check if the user has reached a limit. Unfortunately, simply calling preventDefault isn't working when the checked item is a parent. So I whipped up a little jQuery to handle this for me --

$("#treeview").on("click", ":checkbox", function (e) {

var treeView = $("#treeview").data("kendoTreeView");

origChecked = listChecked;

listChecked = [];

checkedNodeIds(treeView.dataSource.view(), listChecked);

if (searchLimited && listChecked.length > searchLimit) {

var newChecked = $(listChecked).not(origChecked).get();

$.each(newChecked, function (index, value) {

var item = treeView.dataSource.get(value);

item.set("checked", false);

});

e.preventDefault();

listChecked = origChecked;

}

});

// function that gathers IDs of checked nodes

function checkedNodeIds(nodes, checkedNodes) {

for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {

if (nodes[i].checked) {

if (nodes[i].id != "0") {

checkedNodes.push(nodes[i].id);

}

if (nodes[i].hasChildren) {

checkedNodeIds(nodes[i].children.view(), checkedNodes);

}

I can see this works fine. If I put a breakpoint at the end, the treeview looks perfect. However, it appears that some other internal kendo event is firing after and resetting the items to a checked state. As I understood things, calling the set method should have been updating the underlying data for the treeview, so I didn't expect my changes to be overwritten... What am I missing?

Thanks,
Phil

Format number to IP number

Hi

I am trying to format number to IP format like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.001.001

$("#ip4").kendoNumericTextBox({
format: "IP ###.###.###.###", /* works only if you input exact 12 numbers, works only if dot is thousand separator */
decimals: 0
});

This is not the right way!
I was searching kendo forum for text mask format but no luck. Does defining mask exists in kendo ?

Thx

MVVM and Mobile Widget Initialization

Following the advice in several forum posts, along with this jsbin created by Alexander Valchev, I am investigating the use of an observable object that provides HTML content to be rendered:
jsbin.com/iyakig/2/edit
If I add a second button to the code in the jsbin like this:
makeButton: function () {
var html = '<a data-role="button" data-bind="click: makeListView">Replace again</a><a data-role="button" data-bind="click: makeListView">Replace yet again</a>';
this.set("foo", html);
},

The second button does not get initialized as a widget as you can see here:
jsbin.com/iyakig/31/edit
Is there a limitation on MVVM binding of HTML code?

We have been using kendo.mobile.init() to initialize all widgets in the HTML generated by a template, but we are looking to use MVVM binding as suggested in this post. We would be very interested in knowing why additional widgets are not initialized as well as the advantages to this approach vs. the kendo.mobile.init() approach.

Assistance with locating x,y values in chart

I was looking at the code of Kendo Chart to find out how the points (for line chart) are plotted from a single dataItem. While researching I found out that you are using a Box2D method from where you are creating a property which contains (x1,y1, x2, y2) and with this property you are plotting the points with there average values.

I was unable to found out that from where you are retrieving these values (x1,y1,x2,y2). If you can please show me the path (function) from where you are converting these values then it will help me to find a solution.

Thanks.
