How to Keeping TreeView in sync with DB using webservice?

Problem: Ensure TreeView is constantly checking for updates?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need to keep data shown in treeview constantly in sync and up-to-date with the tables in my database. How can i do this when my webpage never interacts directly with the database and only talks directly with a web service( which does the hands on communication with the actual database ).

Add Custom CSS Class to Grid

Hi there,

I have occasion to style a few of my grids slightly differently to the defaults in my theme; what I really like to be able to do is specify, in the options for these grids, a custom CSS class to be applied to the generated k-grid element.

Basically, by default, my tables should not have any kind of border applied. However in several circumstances I do want to have a border applied around the whole grid. I have tried applying a CSS class to the table to which I bind (using kendo-knockout) but of course this table becomes the content table and thus the border does not appear around the header. Is there any way, save through JavaScript manipulation, that this can be achieved. I was hoping something like the columns.attributes configuration property would be available for the whole grid, but this, sadly, does not seem to be the case.

Regards,
Chris Meek

store window minimize state

Hi!

There is dashboard page with several kendo window objects.
I'd like to store window size, position, minimize state and z-order

I was able to retrieve and save window postion and size

('#div_widget').kendoWindow ({

actions: ["Refresh", "Maximize", "Minimize"],

height : get_widget_setting (id_widget, "height", "300px"),

width : get_widget_setting (id_widget, "width", "600px"),

minWidth: 600,

minHeight: 260,

title : w.label,

iframe : true,

content: w.href,

resize : function(e){

var widget = e.sender.element.data("kendoWindow");

var is_maximized = widget.options.isMaximized; // Is this a dirty hack? Are there another ways?

if (is_maximized) {

set_global_setting ("maximized_widget", id_widget);

return;

}

var wrapper = widget.wrapper;

save_widget_setting(id_widget, "height", wrapper.css("height"));

save_widget_setting(id_widget, "width", wrapper.css("width"));

},

dragend : function (e) {

var position = e.sender.element.data("kendoWindow").wrapper.offset();

save_widget_setting(id_widget, "top", position.top + "px");

save_widget_setting(id_widget, "left", position.left + "px");

}

})

- How can I catch minimize button click? I want to save window maximize/minimize state.
- Is there a way to determine window z-order change event and window currrent z-order?

Charts Settings

Hello All,

I have started exploring the different types of charts. Mainly, I am looking for Pie and Bar charts. I have attached the razor file. I would like to create the charts like images.

What are the legend settings available to create the chart in the same manner for Pie chart?

How can I fill the bar with the data level and the rest should be transparent?

Let me know what are the solutions available to create such charts.

Thanks!

RTL not working in 2012 Q3 BETA

Just downloaded 2012 Q3 Beta with so much hope for RTL support, but sadly it's not working the way it should. Is it be cause of beta, or something in my pc configuration?

I tested it with Chrome 22, Firefox 14 and IE 9 on my win 7 64bit.
In all of theme layout was not rtl, and column header's weren't align with their body.

MVVM to bind textboxes to a row of data returned from remote datasource

We are retrieving details for the selected row in a grid from a remote data source. The data retrieval works as expected. We have an Observable object from the data returned from this call. We would like this information to be bound to few textboxes and checkboxes on page using the Kendo.Bind() method, but for some reason it does not work. It does work if we bind it to a drop down list but not to a textbox or label for that matter.

I understand we are getting a table from the remote data (in JSON), but what we would like is to bind certain row and column to a textbox.

This is the example of data returned from remote service -
var data = [{ "FundingResourcePolicyDetailId": 1146060, "PatientFundingResourceId": 3594866, "IdNumber": "91234567y1", "IssueDate": "04/30/2012", "StartDate": "04/15/2012", "EndDate": "04/30/2012", "Group": "", "CoPay": 0.0, "Deductible": 0.0, "PercentageCoverage": 0, "Basic": 0, "Preventive": 0, "Major": 0, "IsVerified": false, "IsAssingmentAccepted": true, "CardFirstName": "MICKEY", "CardLastName": "TESTPATIENT", "CardMiddleInitials": "TICKLE PIN" }];

Here is a example of what we are trying to accomplish-

Onclick event is not firing in DatePicker and DateTimePicker controls when accessed from Safari browser (via iPAD).

hi,
Onclick event (when the user clicks on a particular date) is not firing in DatePicker and DateTimePicker controls, this happens when the web page uses the following meta tag <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable"content="yes"> (this meta tag is
used to run the web applications in full screen mode in safari browser
when accessed from iPAD), Without the above mentioned Meta tag both the controls are working fine.

Why is my template adding extra top and bottom spacing on a row?

I have a GridView with a custom rowtemplate, looking like this:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.UnitTypes)

.Name("Grid")

.RowTemplate(@<tr>

<td>

<div>@item.Name</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@item.CurrentRun.Operation.WellContract.Location</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@item.CurrentRun.Operation.WellContract.Name</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@item.CurrentRun.Id</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@item.CurrentRun.RunTask</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@item.Status.StatusText</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>Lamp</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>

<div class="progress progress-warning">

<div class="bar" style="width: 50%">

<span class="offset6" style="color: #676767;">@Math.Round(item.CurrentRun.LatestWellLogEntry.Depth.Value, 2)</span>

</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@Math.Round(item.CurrentRun.LatestWellLogEntry.Speed.Value, 2)</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@Math.Round(item.CurrentRun.LatestWellLogEntry.Tension.Value, 2)</div>

</td>

<td>

<div>@item.CurrentRun.Name</div>

</td>

<td>

<form method="POST" action="~/UnitDetails/Index/@item.Id">

<input type="submit" class="k-button" value="Details" />

</form>

</td>

</tr>

)

.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:430px;" })

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(p => p.Name).Title("Unit");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.Operation.WellContract.Location).Title("Site");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.Operation.WellContract.Name).Title("Well");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.Id).Title("Run");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.RunTask).Title("Task");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.Operation.Description).Title("Operation");

columns.Bound(p => p.Status.StatusText).Title("Status");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.LatestWellLogEntry.Depth).Title("Depth (m)");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.LatestWellLogEntry.Speed).Title("Speed (m/min)");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.LatestWellLogEntry.Tension).Title("Weight (kg)");

columns.Bound(p => p.CurrentRun.Name);

columns.Command(command => command.Custom("Edit Unit").Action("Index", "UnitDetails")).Width(85);

})

.DataSource(dataSource =>

dataSource.Server().Model(m => m.Id(p => p.Id)))

.Pageable()

.Scrollable(builder => builder.Height(250))

.Sortable())

Whenever I open my page and look at the grid, it contains spacing both at the top and bottom of each row, causing the lines that separates the columns to be spaced apart vertically. (See attached image)

Am I doing the template thing wrong or am I missing something?
