I've been looking through the APIs to see if there's a documented method for binding the sort functions built into the header easily to a select dropdown? We want to hide the TH elements (using CSS) and only sort using a dropdown. Ideas?

[Solved] Call View Model Method within ClientTemplate

I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to convert our server side grid to ajax grid due to some road blocks. We are upgrading our grid from the older Telerik MVC extensions grid to the new Kendo UI grid and I have run into a couple of issues with converting some conditional statements to be usable within the ClientTemplate. Can anyone assists on the correct way to convert the following line of code to be compatible with ClientTemplate?

columns.Template(@<text>

@if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.DownloadURL(item.DocumentId,item.Name, item.ExtUrl)))

{ }

else

{

<a href="@Model.DownloadURL(item.DocumentId,item.Name,item.ExtUrl)" title="Click to download">

}</text>).Title("Download")

I was able to do

columns.Bound(p=>p.DocumentId).ClientTemplate(String.IsNullOrEmpty(@Model.DownloadURL("#=DocumentId#","#=Name#","#=ExtURL#)).ToString()).Title("Download")

To get true or false returned from the method call, but I cannot figure out how to place the result returned into a conditional if-else statement to determine which html should display based on the condition as shown in the original code.

[Solved] Prevent edit only on update

Hello. I have a grid where the user can set the Primary key value of the table. This is great, but I don't want them editing that value.
I only want the edit field to show up on creates. I want it to be locked for normal edits.

If i set it to .Editable(False) then I can't add new ones.

I tried putting and onEdit event in which called a javascript which sought out that cell and called the .closecell() but that didn't work. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

Is there an easy bit of javascript for closing cell 4 on an edit of an existing item.

I've added what I think I should be using..i'm just missing something...please help!

<script>

function onEdit(e) {

//if the model isn't new (editing)

if (!e.model.isNew()) {

var grid = $("#Devices").data("kendoGrid");

//missing code I want her

grid.closecell();

}

</script>

[Solved] How to use kendo datasource when a REST service returns only one element

I have a service (ASP.NET WebApi) whose URL returns a single object:

http://localhost:60000/api/approvals/90a11073-cbfe-4442-9330-9b94d83d53a2

But I can't get the datasource to handle the scenario. The request is made and the response is ok but in the change event I don't have any data. the ok from qunit fails.

datasource.bind("change", function (e)
{
var element = datasource.get('90a11073-cbfe-4442-9330-9b94d83d53a2')
ok(element);
start();
});

Also inspecting e.sender.data() shows that there are no elements in the result!

Is this supported? How?

Thanks,
Pedro

KendoWindow custom action button

We are doing some feasibility testing with the kendoui window for our application. One of the requirements is to be able to have a custom menu (like kendomenu) that will provide interaction on each window instance. The menu will need to pass requests to the server and update the window content based on the action. Can you provide us with an example that uses the kendo window custom action click to create an action menu for that window instance?

Also, another requirement is to use an iframe to show google earth maps. We are experiencing a z-index issue that shows the content over the top of every window (outside the iframe) instance. Is there a fix for that? We have tried implementing an iframe shim hack but that doesn't seem to work inside the window.

Thanks for your time. We are looking forward to using your ui framework our portal application.

[Solved] Changes in data-model not reflected

One of my listviews uses a template to populate the content rows:

ul data-template="tmpl_jailcard_comments" data-bind="source:jcComments" data-role="listview"> </ul>

When the user displays the same screen for a second time (Click 'Back' and click 'View jail cards' again) changes in the data-model are not reflected. The template works with the original data that it was bound to and ignores any change to the data-model

The following jsfiddle illustrates this:

http://jsfiddle.net/elgato/EhxUb/13/

Any ideas how to make the listview template reflect an updated data-model?

Bug, data source fails when there's only one element in an XML file

It seems that when there's only one XML element, the DropDownList fails to show it, and instead shows 'undefined' five times. Very odd. No errors in the console.

UPDATE: It seems each of the five "undefined" entries in the drop down correspond to the 5 xml elements nested within the doc. So its parsing the doc but failing to map to the schema. If I add the 2nd item (a duplicate), it loads them both fine.
