[Solved] Describe a Method`s Input Parameters and Output Type exactly

When reading the documentation I rather often do not know, what datatypes are expected as parameters or which datatype is returned from a method call. I appreciated, if these details were given in the documentation.

Let me make an example. Look at TreeView expand method. The parameter is described as "nodes Selector". What does this mean? Is it a jQuery selector such as "#tree" or "div.tree"? Or is this an DOM object or maybe a jQuery object? The samples show that probably both a selector or a DOM object can be given to the method. If this is so, I would like to read it in the documentation.

A user might also try to find out about method parameters by looking at the TypeScript definition. There he will find...

class TreeView extends kendo.ui.Widget {

expand(nodes: string): void;

}

Probably this is not correct, as the samples show that also a DOM object can be expanded.

Remove most of the UI on a Menu?

Before I dig too deep into it, I'd like to know if the following is possible on a menu.

I have a static background I must use, then on top of it I need a flat 1 level hierarchical menu that looks like this:

Canada England Brazil
Toronto Halifax Vancouver Calgary Montreal

As the use clicks or hovers over a country, the cities appear below and can be selected.

1) Can all the UI elements (borders, shading etc) be removed (I have a background I must use)
2) Can the menu go horizontal as per example above?

Is there a way to create a static footer under a listview?

Tried to do so in many ways, but it always seems to be attached to the bottom of the list view and scrolled out of view when we have a lot of items.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Manually select tabstrip

Hello,
I am opening a modal view when a tabstrip item is selected as shown in the screenshot (Show Modal.png).

In the select method of kendo ui mobile tabstrip I am preventing the default event propagation i.e, to show the modal view by using e.preventDefault(), to show a confirmation dialog box as shown in the screenshot(Prevent Default Action.png).

Code:-

<div id='modal_tabs' data-role="tabstrip" data-select='tabChange'>
<a href="#index" data-icon="custom">Home</a>
</div>
function tabChange(e){
if (someCondition) {
e.preventDefault();
showConfirmation(showPopUpMsg, 'Unsaved changes', doTabActiveOnOK); // show confirmation dialog box
}
doTabActiveOnOK = function(button){ // callback function
if (button == true) { // if ok button is pressed
$("#modal_tabs").data("kendoMobileTabStrip").select(1); // not supported
}
}
}
If 'ok' button is pressed on the confirmation dialog I want to perform the default action again(to show the modal) or select the tabstrip manually. How to perform this task?

Thanks,
Dave.

Grid not populating from Datasource

Why is my grid still empty even though the datasource response is getting populated?

Controller method:

[HttpGet]

public ActionResult Search([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)

{

DataSourceResult result = new DataSourceResult();

var data = new[] {

new { PartID=1, PartNumber="ABC123", Description="Part One" },

new { PartID=2, PartNumber="XYZ879", Description="Part Two" },

new { PartID=3, PartNumber="ZZZ999", Description="Part Three" },

};

result = data.ToDataSourceResult(request);

return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

}

Client:

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

transport: {

read: {

serverPaging: false,

serverSorting: false,

url: "@Url.Action("Search", "PartMaster")",

dataType: "json",

type: "GET"

},

schema: {

data: "Data",

model: {

fields: {

PartID: { type: "number" },

PartNumber: { type: "string" },

Description: { type: "string" }

}

},

requestEnd: function (e) {

var response = e.response;

var type = e.type;

console.log(type);

console.log(response.length);

}

});

function dataSourceError(e) {

console.log(e.status);

}

dataSource.bind("error", dataSourceError);

$("#resultsGrid").kendoGrid({

dataSource:dataSource,

height: 600,

scrollable: true,

sortable: true,

columns: [{ field: "PartID" }, { field: "PartNumber" }, { field: "Description" }],

dataBound: function (e) {

console.log(e);

}

});

Multi Select Within Kendo Window

Hi,

I'm using a multi select within a Kendo window. The Kendo window is configured in iFrame mode. In IE10 (only IE10) the multi select renders outside of the window. Other browsers don't seem to have this problem.

Here is a screen clip of the issue:

Here is a JS Fiddle:

Thanks,

[Solved] Create button with image displayed on right of text

I'm trying to create (in a navbar) a drop-down menu using a mobile button and popover. The button-styling works fine, but I cannot seem to add the image inside the button; the best I have gotten is to leave it to the right (and out outside) of the button.

Here is a jsfiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/raltman/LCh3E/1/

What is the best approach for making this work correctly?
