Questions on Kendo UI for jQuery Forum

Our page contains complex "Widgets" and each widget might have multiple views, and we're using MVVM for the data.

I'm wondering (and I've seen posts eluding to this) if I can scrap the url routing portion and just be able to define views for each widget?...I'm concerned with the routes in the url and multiple widgets all getting confused and\or creating a terrible url. Really nobody would be going "back", bookmarking, or linking anyway.

If this is possible, is there a demo\sample anywhere?

Changing the grid row height with jquery not working

I am trying to edit the grid height with a bit of jquery and binding.
It does not appear to work.
I can do the colours and the font, but the height does not want to budge.
Below is my test on fiddle.

Anyone know how to fix that?

Editor template if statements

In my grids I have partials views as my editor templates. In the these editor templates I try to check the values on create and edit using razor if statements. These statements do not seem to work for grid editor templates. Here is an example
@if(Model.UserName!=null)
{
@Html.LabelFor(m=>m.Username)
}
else
{
@Html.TextBoxFor(m=>m.UserName)
}

The if always seems to fail is this because after the template is rendered these statements are no longer there and cannot be reached?

Is the only way to accomplish my task is by altering these elements via jquery in the grid edit event?

Model object's Dirty Attribute is not Observable

I am trying to change the "save" icon on my edit form when an item is flagged dirty as a visual reminder to the user to save her/his work. However it does not appear as though the "dirty" attribute of the Model object is observable. Its value never changes in the UI when I bind to it nor does it ever notify when I bind to the "change" event.

I know that I can do what I want by binding to "change" but it seems silly to have to observe the entire object and have an event that fires with every change and for any change when a property already exists that purports to contain the desired information that I am after.

Or am I just missing something?

kendo duplicate rendering issue

a long time ago we modified the kendostore front sample for our internal needs.

specifically store-browse.js

(function ($, kendo, store) {
    var viewModel = kendo.observable({
        Products: {
            data: [],
            total: 0
        },

noticed data is array not DataSource or ObservableArray
- changing to DataSource throws a recursion error in kendo js file
- ObservableArray works but suffers from duplicate rendering issue

About: kendo duplicate rendering issue

<section>

<div class="clearfix" data-role="listView" data-bind="source: Products.data" data-template="product-template"></div>

</section>

attached is image where left side is code causes duplicate rendering randomly.

my hack so i wouldn't have to do major refactoring is on the right . (working - no more doubles)

Can someone explain why doubles happen when pushing into array (left side of code)?

Plotbands events and access from Javascript

Is there any way to set an even on click of a plotband? It would be nice if there was also a way to add a class or an id to the data elements so that you could use a jquery selector to get at any informat you are after. That would be a nice way to easily get at the elements.

HtmlAttributes for class and title issue

Hi,
I've a menu like this

@(Html.Kendo().Menu()

.Name("grouplist")

.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 140px;" })

.Items(items =>

{

foreach (ns.Models.GroupModel item in groups)

{

items.Add()

.Text(item.Name)

.HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "menuitem" })

//.HtmlAttributes(new { @title = "Items in this group : " + item.Count })

.Items(children =>

{

children.Add().Text("Add new item");

children.Add().Text("Edit group");

children.Add().Text("Delete group!");

});

}

})

.Orientation(MenuOrientation.Vertical))

All works fine if I keep commented the second HtmlAttributes (used to set the tooltip through title), if I uncomment that line, the menu show the tooltip but, uses jquery default style (and not kendo theme) and lost item css class 'menuitem'

how to add css class to already created dropdpownlist?

I'm trying on document.ready to call:

$("#ID_Comercial").addClass('mandatory');

But it doesn't works, the class gets added to an input shown below, but not to the actual dropdownlist, so it's not displaying the new styles :

<input id="ID_Comercial" class="mandatory" type="text" style="width: 200px; display: none;" name="ID_Comercial" data-role="dropdownlist">

How can I add a css class or remove it from an existing dropdownlist or any other kendo widget?

Thanks in advance.

Opening the First Item in a Panel

I'm using the Kendo UI Web v2012.1.515 version and had a need to expand the first item in a dynamically created PanelBar (in code behind via c#). To make it more complicated, I'm working in SharePoint 2010. After sniffing around the DOM for a bit, I found a class on the first item in the panel "k-first". Since accessing the PanelBar.expand() method requires a jQuery selector, I decided to use this class as my selector...
here's the code snippet...

//pass the PanelBar into a JavaScript Object...
var ScorecardList = $("ul[jqID|='ScorecardList']=").kendoPanelBar({ });

//Show the first Item in the DisplyOrder Option List...via the k-first class...
var FirstExpand = ScorecardList.data("kendoPanelBar").expand($(".k-first"));

Disclaimer...this worked for me. This might not work in future releases, and may not work as described here. Your mileage may vary.

Application.pane not set

Hi,

I've just updated my version of Kendo UI to the latest commercial version.

I'm using the same application pattern as used in the Kendo Mobile Music Store (require.js, one js file per view).
I'm not sure if this has changed, but the initialisation of Application.pane now seems to occur after startup:-

$(function(){

that.element = $(element ? element : document.body);

that._setupPlatform();

that._setupElementClass();

that._attachHideBarHandlers();

that.pane = new Pane(that.element, that.options);

that._attachMeta();

if (that.options.updateDocumentTitle) {

that._setupDocumentTitle();

}

that._startHistory();

});
