So I'm using the DatePicker control for a field that only requires the month and year. I have the behavior of the popup working properly, by setting the Start and Depth to "Year". In doing so, I ran into a problem where the month would be different than the one I selected. I'm not sure if it was this issue, or an issue where, because the date was coming down as the first of the month, the server was on GMT, and the client was GMT-4. So when it got client-side, the date came back as the last day of the previous month at 8pm.

I solved this problem by intercepting the date during inserts on the server, setting it to the 10th of the month and year at Noon, and then saving it. This should have solved the problem, but when I use the DatePicker in a Grid (MVC or Web), the cell goes red once I leave it, whether I actually changed the date or not. This is *extremely * confusing to my end users, and given that I am using the MVC grid, subclassing it with my own functionality is not necessarily an option.

The problem lies in how the textbox blur function works, and how it compares values. When it has the following ParseFormats:

.ParseFormats(new[] {"MM/yyyy", "MM yyyy"})

the DateTime object in the browser doesn't have a day to assign, so it assumes the first of the month. When you leave the field, the function simply compares the old value to the new one, sees that the old day (the 10th) is different from the new day (the 1st) and changes the value, which bubbles back to the DataSource, and tells the Grid the data has changed.

I believe that the blur function should work in a vastly different way. It should break down the date into its various components, and call the set methods on the old value, instead of just doing a wholesale replacement on the date value. In this example, the function cycle through each component of the date, checking if any of the ParseFormats contain the string representation of that part (d, m, y, etc). If it does, it should call the getXXX method of the old date, and compare it to the getXXX method of the new date. If they are different, it should call setXXX on that component alone, instead of doing a wholesale replacement of the current value of the control.

I know that this would complicate the blur function a bit, but it would more accurately represent how the picker should work, given the already-built-in ability to adjust the depth of the control.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need code to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!

Struggling to find a simple solutions
 I need to know how to bind it and what the format of the data should be when reading data directly from the server.  I have tried everything but I can't get the data correct. 

My needs
I need the DISTINCT names down the left side.
I need columns stacked horizontally by color
I need an aggregate total running horizontally accross from left to right. 

The data I have on the server. 
[{ name : "jaime", color: "green",  value : 23 }, 
 { name : "jaime", color: "yellow",  value : 34 },
 { name : "jaime", color: "red",  value : 23 },
{ name : "rob", color: "green",  value : 23 }, 
 { name : "rob", color: "yellow",  value : 11},
 { name : "rob", color: "red",  value : 64 }]

Here is my data call
I need to know how to bind the chart based on the data and datasource read syntax. This is the source code from the stacked chart example demo page which is closest to my needs.

I have a master/detail grid (Read only) with a custom stand alone filtering control.

Im looking to be able to filter the details records and update the master data as well.
Im looking to do this all client side.

(ie: Master table of Customers/ Detail table of Orders.  
When i filter the orders by a field (say: Filled = true) through this stand alone control...
I want the Master table to update to show only the records that have details that have the filtered items.)

Is this possible?  How would I go about this?

It seems like the only way to define templates for controls declared with .Net syntax is to use escaped literal text. Whereas if the control is declared with javascript syntax, one can embed the template content in a named/ID'ed script tag and reference that ID. Is there any way to accomlish this with .Net syntax?

The image EditKey1 was generated from the following code inside the Icenium Simulator. Note particular the three divs that are shown as content inside the "enterStatus" div. All three divs are seen in the image.


The image EditKey2 was generated from the following code inside the Icenium Simulator. Note that the ONLY difference is that the three divs are in a different order. NOTE THAT THE THIRD DIV JUST DISAPPEARS. Any idea what I am doing wrong, or what concept I'm missing? 
Thanks for your assistance!

I have the following (simplified) VMs;

public class ProjectModel
{
    public int ProjectId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public List<CountryModel> Countries { get; set; }
}

public class CountryModel
{
    public int CountryId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

I am using the Grid with ajax binding to display the list of projects. I have a custom UI for the user to specify search criteria, i.e. textboxes for name and description, and a MultiSelect control so that the user can select one or more countries.

I want custom filtering against the countries - I want the search to perform an AND filter returning Projects that are associated with all the countries selected by the user.

I am currently able to capture title, description and the selected countries from the MultiSelect, and pass them to my ProjectSearch Controller Action as additional data (using the DataSource Read Data). I then create  FilterDescriptors for the project name and description, but am a bit stuck as to how to do it for the countries. 

So what is the correct way of creating the FilterDescriptors for a country search? What "member" should I specify? What operator do I use?

Many thanks for any assistance.

Hi,
We have used kendo grid in our Tablet app which is developed in html5 using winjs.
We need need to export the data in Kendo grid to ppt.Please help me regarding the same.

Hi guys

Is there a way to attach the same init method (beforeShow and show too) to all Views, without specifying on html? Or maybe a way to bind to an event that gets triggered from all Views?

I think a good way to solve this would be the possibility to specify the View init method through the Layout. I have many Views with the same Layout, and all of them use the same init and show method. If we could put that in the Layout, the markup would become simpler and more maintainable.

Thanks!

I am amending the CSS files to tailor buttons and screens to suit our company layout and it will be necessary to resize the icons depending on the amount of data on the screen.  I have made some modifications which reduce the size of the text box and text, but I cannot successfully get the image icon to shrink.  I have managed to remove the icon to just display text, but ideally I would like the button to either display the icon and text if the the button is big enough but just text if the button is small.  At the moment when text only is displayed the text is off centre.  My code for the button and the icon is as follows:
.k-button.k-button.k-button-icontext {
    /*background-position: top;*/
    font-style: normal;
    font-family: Calibri;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: small;
    border-image-outset: 0px;
    /*height: 16px;*/ /*font-size-adjust: inherit;*/
    vertical-align: top;
    text-align: center;
    white-space: normal;
    /*overflow: auto;*/
    margin: 0px,0px,0px,0px;
    }

.k-icon {
    /*fit:slice;*/
    /*background-image:none;*/    
    display: inline-block;
    width:auto;
    height:auto;
    background-size:contain;
}
I also have another button which does not have an icon which needs to be the same size as these buttons which is why I need generic code to suit the row height.
As you can see I was experimenting with some other options - with the current settings the icon is not being displayed although I think there is enough room.  Any suggestions of amending the code gratefully received.

I would love to see infinite scrolling make it into the roadmap at some point.  This is essential UI, especially on mobile and the plugins that are out there haven't really nailed it down yet.

Just a thought...
