Questions on Kendo UI for jQuery Forum

40 views

An example line from my code:

$("#action-results-grid").data("kendoGrid").setDataSource(myDataSource);

How can I find a reference for the '.data("widget")' function, I have searched everywhere.

The examples clearly display how this function is used, but not once was it introduced in the tutorial documentation with a summary of it's functionality and why it is used.

My naive guess is that it returns an object wrapping the HTML element to provide methods associated with the widget, but still I would love to see a reference for this function to better understand how/when to use it and precisely what it does.

I can not find a reference to it in the API documentation.

Cheers,
Ross

Does not work with Windows 8

Hi - the Kendo UI library does not work at all with Windows 8. When attempting to add support to the project I get this javascript error:

Unhandled exception at line 3, column 12463 in ms-appx://2a623c8f-d20a-4b04-af23-abe9529a9b8d/js/jquery.min.js0x800c001c - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to add dynamic content. A script attempted to inject dynamic content, or elements previously modified dynamically, that might be unsafe. For example, using the innerHTML property to add script or malformed HTML will generate this exception. Use the toStaticHTML method to filter dynamic content, or explicitly create elements and attributes with a method such as createElement. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=247104.

This seems to be an issue with the jquery library being used, but Kendo UI requires version 1.9.1 so I cannot upgrade the jquery library. Any fixes that will allow Kendo UI to be used within a Windows 8 app?

Thanks!

TreeView Javascript Exception 0x800a138f - Unable to get value of the property 'uid'

I am implementing a TreeView within a modal window. The window works fine the first time it is initialized within its containing razor view. But whenever the containing razor view is reloaded due to user navigation, I get the attached JavaScript exception within the _attachUids function shown below when the TreeView attempts its ajax call (LoadContentFrom) to my partial view. Any insight is appreciated as I am still fairly new to the TreeView.

_attachUids:function(t,n){var i,r=this,o=u.attr("uid");t=t||r.root,n=n||r.dataSource,i=n.view(),t.children("li").each(function(t,n){n=e(n).attr(o,i[t].uid),n.attr("role","treeitem"),r._attachUids(n.children("ul"),i[t].children)})}

n=e(n).attr(o,i[t].uid) is the statement that faults with:

t = 0
i[t] = undefined
o = "data-uid"

My Partial View Is:

<script type="text/javascript">

function onWSBrowseOK() {

$("#WSBrowseWindow").data("kendoWindow").close();

}

function onWSBrowseCancel() {

$("#WSBrowseWindow").data("kendoWindow").close();

}

function getParentWorkspace() {

var parentId = 0;

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

if (treeView != null) {

var selNode = treeView.select();

if (selNode != null) {

var dataItem = treeView.dataItem(selNode);

if (dataItem != null) {

parentId = dataItem.id;

}

return { workspace_id: parentId };

}

function onWSBrowseChange(e) {

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

var selNode = treeView.select();

var fileView = $("#WSBrowseFileTreeView").data("kendoTreeView");

fileView.dataSource.read();

e.preventDefault();

}

</script>

<style>

#WSBrowseButtons {

text-align: center;

}

#WSBrowseButtons button {

margin-top: 10px;

margin-bottom: 10px;

margin-right: 20px;

}

</style>

@(Html.Kendo().Splitter()

.Name("WorkspaceBrowser")

.Orientation(SplitterOrientation.Horizontal)

.Panes(vPanes =>

{

vPanes.Add()

.HtmlAttributes(new { id = "WSBrowsePane" })

.Scrollable(false)

.Collapsible(false)

.Resizable(true)

.Size("50%")

.Content(

Html.Kendo().TreeView()

.Name("WSBrowseTreeView")

.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 100%; width: 100%;" })

.Events(events => events

.Change("onWSBrowseChange")

)

.DataSource(ds => ds

.Read(read => read.Action("GetWorkspaces", "Workspace"))

)

.ToHtmlString()

);

vPanes.Add()

.HtmlAttributes(new { id = "WSFilePane" })

.Scrollable(false)

.Collapsible(false)

.Content(

Html.Kendo().TreeView()

.Name("WSBrowseFileTreeView")

.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 100%; width: 100%;" })

.DataSource(ds => ds

.Read(read => read.Action("WorkspaceFiles", "Workspace").Data("getParentWorkspace"))

)

.ToHtmlString()

);

})

)

<div id="WSBrowseButtons">

<button id="WSBrowseOK" onclick="onWSBrowseOK();">OK</button>

<button id="WSBrowseCancel" onclick="onWSBrowseCancel();">Cancel</button>

</div>

The modal window container is defined as follows:

@(Html.Kendo().Window()

.Name("WSBrowseWindow")

.Title("Browse Workspaces")

.LoadContentFrom("BrowseWorkspaces", "Workspace")

.Width(600)

.Resizable()

.Draggable()

.Modal(true)

.Visible(false))

Controller Action Is As Follows. The query could return zero rows, so I add at least one element to the result.

public JsonResult WorkspaceFiles(string id, string workspace_id)

{

if (id == null)

id = workspace_id;

ISession session = NHibernateHelper.GetCurrentSession();

List<WorkspaceModels.WorkspaceFilesModel> files = (List<WorkspaceModels.WorkspaceFilesModel>)session.GetNamedQuery("Workspace_GetFiles")

.SetParameter("pPARENT_ID", id)

.SetResultTransformer(Transformers.AliasToBean(typeof(WorkspaceModels.WorkspaceFilesModel)))

.List<WorkspaceModels.WorkspaceFilesModel>();

NHibernateHelper.CloseSession();

if (files.Count() == 0)

{

WorkspaceModels.WorkspaceFilesModel defaultNode = new WorkspaceModels.WorkspaceFilesModel();

defaultNode.DOCXID = AppConstants.NULL_GUID;

defaultNode.DOCXNAME = "No Data";

defaultNode.HASCHILDREN = 0;

defaultNode.DOCXPARENTID = null;

files.Add(defaultNode);

}

var fileItems = from e in files

where (string.IsNullOrEmpty(id) == false ? e.DOCXPARENTID == id : e.DOCXPARENTID == null)

select new

{

id = e.DOCXID,

text = e.DOCXNAME,

hasChildren = Convert.ToBoolean(e.HASCHILDREN)

};

return Json(fileItems, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

}

DatePicker does not honour the readonly attribute

If I create a read only input field that uses a KendoUI date picker element, It still appears to be possible to change the date...

for example

<input id="startDate" type="date" name="startDate" value="1 Sep 2011" readonly="readonly" data-role="datepicker" data-format="d MMM yyyy" />

In Chrone, the field appears to be read only, and you can't click in the field and manually edit it with the keyboard.
However, you can click on the Kendo UI Calendar icon, which pops up a calendar. Using the calendar, you can choose a new date like normal, which updates the text in the field.

Is there something I should be doing to prevent this? Is it a bug?

Does DataSource Support OData v4.0 Response specs? Or just OData Verbose?

I am building OData service and its response format is new OData v4.0 format.
http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata-json-format/v4.0/csprd01/odata-json-format-v4.0-csprd01.html

However, Kendo's data source seems only support previous OData version.

For example, take a look at these two formats:
{
"d" : {
      "results": [
      {
          "__metadata": {
              "uri": "http://demos/Orders(10248)",
              "type": "SampleModel.Order"
          },
          "ProductId": 10248,
          "Name": "Vgnon"
      }
      ],
      "__count": "1"
  }
}

------------------------------------------------------
OData v4.0
{
  "odata.metadata":"http://localhost:43111/api/$metadata#Products",
  "odata.count":"1",
  "value":
  [
      {
          "ProductId":2,
          "CreatedDate":"2013-06-10T23:53:26",
          "CreatedBy":0,"Name":"Camera"
      }
  ]
}

Can I tell the data source to expect new response format?

Kendo Grid cell wih dropdownlist with multicolored ( html formatted) text

Hi I am trying to add a kendo dropdown list to a grid cell, but I am not sure how can I display the text in different color formats. So for instance we need to show values likes in a dropdownlist with the kendo cell grid.

Red X
Black X
Red numbers
Black Numbers

I have stored these values in a separate table and am linking them in the grid via Foreign Key Template. But I am not sure how can these values be html formatted.

One other approach was to link to editor to the cell but unfortunately going this route does not allow batch editing/saving. In this case I was not using a dropdownlist rather an editor and kept the cell free form.

Please suggest.
