Hi - we'd like to be able to set our chart titles to include fields returned from our database. We are using JSON to get the data.

I'm not sure how to do that? For example, in the below, I'd like to append a school name, say "ABC Elementary" for example, to the start of the title, and have it change as our users change the school they are looking at.

Thanks

kcSchoolRiskInd = $("#SchoolRiskInd").kendoChart({

title: {

text: "School Risk Indicators",

font: "bold 16px Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"

},

The code generated by the dropdownlist is not inside the html element.

Hello,

we have a problem with the code generated by the drop down list component, in fact, if i put a <Select> element inside a <div> and use it with the dropdownlist component, the code generated by the dropdownlist is not inside the div but at the end of the <body>

As we work on a single web page application with backbone, we have to create dynamically some views using kendo components. And each time we create a component the code generated is outside the box.

We found a workaround to fix this but we had to override so many kendo css style to make it work that this solution is not satisfying.
The workaround is to add the class name "k-group" on the <div>.

So, could you give us the best way to have the code generated by kendo components inside the html elements ?

Thanks for your support,

Best regards,

Alexis

Auto size grid

There is a how-to article which covers auto-sizing the grid to it's container's height and width:
http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/web/grid/walkthrough#making-the-grid-100%-high-and-auto-resizable

$(window).resize(function() {

var gridElement = $("#grid"),

newHeight = gridElement.innerHeight(),

otherElements = gridElement.children().not(".k-grid-content"),

otherElementsHeight = 0;

otherElements.each(function(){

otherElementsHeight += $(this).outerHeight();

});

gridElement.children(".k-grid-content").height(newHeight - otherElementsHeight);

});

Is this still the best method of sizing the grid in this manner?

Kendo 2013.2: Typescript Definition Problems

With Kendo 2013.2 and Typescript 0.9

On line 401 there is "module binders { };" which shouldn't be there. In 703 there was a "var binders: Object;" which was ok.

Control action in Kendo window gets called multiple times

Hi,

I have a MVC kendo grid, representing a list of items, on which I use some custom commands.
I also have a invisible kendo window created which I later use to confirm the custom command.
I'd assume that if I call open() and close() on the window control, it would be on the same instance.

What I notice is that if I call the custom command on one item & but don't confirm it, and then call it for the same/another item, the event bound to the confirmation control gets called as many times as I had called the window.open() function before, without having refreshed the page. It appears that each time a new instance of the window is created & it stays somewhere in the cache

Is it possible to suppress this behaviour ? I'm attaching a small sample project to illustrate the problem I'm facing

Kind Regards

Achilles

How to using setDataSource method on Hierarchy Grid ??

How to use setDataSource on Hierarchy Grid

Hello All -

I have a Hierarchy Grid created.. and I need to refresh the data sources after certain events... How do i go about doing it..
I know we can use setDataSource method on the Grid's widget.. but i really dont know how to get the widget for a hierarchy grid..

usually if i have a div element.. i would say
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
grid.setDataSource(dataSource);

but in a hierarchy grid... the child grid is created as
$("<div/>").appendTo(detailCell).kendoGrid({
            dataSource: {
                data: ReturnData
            }, ......

How do i obtain the widget for this and rebind the data source..?

Dynamic dataset to grid

Hi,
What is the best way to display a dynamic dataset in a kendo grid?

Dynamic as in the datatable within the dataset could have any number of columns, I simply want the grid to render them with paging.

I have tried to return the dataset from a WCF service like Dataset.GetXml(), but that doesnt seem to work.

Using the WCF data services with OData is not an option. The stored procedure called is also not known on the server.

Thx

Displaying grid within tab is causing the grids scroll bar to appear and overflow

I am trying to move a grid (that's styling is perfect outside of a tab) into a tab to make the most of some limited space.

My problem is the scrollbar within the grid now appears and I don't know how to get rid of it.

My code looks like

<ul class="mainnav hover-list submenu hidden">

<li id="liHome" class="first"><a href="/">Settings</a></li>

<li id="liBusiness"><a href="/business">Product Setup</a>

</li>

</ul>

<div id="tabstrip" style="height:400px">

<ul>

<li class="k-state-active">Setup</li>

<li>Products</li>

</ul>

<div>

<div class="weather">

<p>

Rainy weather in Paris.</p>

</div>

<div>

<div class="weather">

<table id="grid" class="products">

<thead>

<tr>

<th style="width: 40px">

<input type="checkbox" class="select-all" />

</th>

<th data-field="name">

Name

</th>

<th data-field="sku">

Sku

</th>

<th data-field="tags">

Tags

</th>

<th data-field="AssociatedReward">

Product Assigned To

</th>

</tr>

</thead>

<tbody>

<tr>

<td colspan="5">

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

</table>

</div>

<div class="clear">

</div>

I have tried to set the height of the grid to different heights however always the same result.

Are grids supported within the tab control?

I have attached an image on the outputted html
