Filtering in KendoUI like textbox filter in ASP.NET Ajax

Hello,

I am considering moving to KendoUI (currently using 2010 Q2 ASP.NET Ajax, need to upgrade in any event).

I'm wondering if it is possible to render the filters for a KendoUI grid similarly to the ASP.NET Ajax grid, that has filter textboxes (by default) when filtering is turned on. Our users love the ability to quickly enter text and hit enter to get a "Starts With" (using some javascript). I cannot find an example, or documentation, on how to customize the default KendoUI filtering.

Also, important to a switch to KendoUI is the need for much improved documentation. I know the product is much newer than the ASP.NET Ajax controls, but the current documentation for KendoUI widgets, including all of the options, is quite sparse.

Thank you, Jason

MVVM toJSON() and object properties

I'm using MVVM and an Observable (called _alertModel) for a jQuery AJAX post.

$.ajax({

url: 'REST/Alert',

type: 'POST',

data: _alertModel.toJSON(),

timeout: 5000,

dataType: 'json',

Passing the Observable without calling toJSON does not work.

If I use toJSON, primitives work fine but objects (Date and Array objects in particular) raise exceptions.

I've been working around these issues by copying object properties to temporary vars, replacing them with string representations for the AJAX call, restoring the objects after the call is initialized, i.e.

var date = _alertModel.IncidentDate;

_alertModel.IncidentDate = (date.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + date.getDate() + '/' + date.getFullYear();

$.ajax(...);

_alertModel.IncidentDate = date;

This seems clumsy and I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Charts - Changing the default font

The default font for charts, as far as I can tell from the documentation, is 12px Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif. I would like to change the default font family to Tahoma. I want this to hit everything from legends, titles, to labels.

Is there a way to do this? I can't see anything in the CSS that seems to reference this.

Thanks

Chart with grid

Hi,

I'm looking for solution in MVC, which will provide me some kind of data presentation. I'll describe what I mean best I can. I've also attached a jpg schema of the solution that I need.

First of all - I need a chart, mostly line-chart, but bars-type also will be great. The chart should have a marker (blue one on my schema) which have ability to move left and right. On the same page I'll place a grid with all data from the chart. Moving marker left-right on the chart should move the cursor up-down on the grid. On the other hand - also moving cursor on grid should move marker on graph. I introduced this with orange arrows on my schema. Maybe some kind of events calling by chart/grid and handled by grid/chart?

One comment - data, which I will present are complex. It means, that on the X-axis on chart always will be time, but on Y - it depends, what is choosen. I mention this in the context of possibility of multiple data-series on chart - supplied with the same data, but each serie with different property attached. Will it be possible?

This functionality is very important for me and my customers, so I will be very glad for some tips, how to do this with (to say the truth - really awesome) Kendo UI for MVC.

Thanks in advance

[Solved] Changing text of the 'Cancel' option in Actionsheet

How does one change the text of the 'Cancel' option in Actionsheet?

The documentation states that there is an actionsheet configuration parameter of 'cancel', but gives no example how to apply such configurations. Is there some sort of actionsheet object that is supposed to be instantiated to do this?

Thanks in advance

[Solved] DataViz Chart - Showing Values?

If I have a column in a chart with a value of "20", how do I show that value (e.g. sitting above the column)?

Can't see it anywhere and none of the demos show this...

In the demos, the value is present in the tooltip but my users might be far too lazy for that! They just want to see the value over each column.

Here's what I have in the context of Kendo for MVC Razor:

@using MyNamespace

@model Totals

@{

ViewBag.Title = "Chart";

}

@(Html.Kendo().Chart<Totals>()

.Name("chart")

.Title("Totals")

.DataSource(ds => ds.Read(read => read.Action("GetTotals", "Home")))

.Series(series =>

{

series.Column(model => model.Total).Name("Total");

})

)

Thanks!

Richard

Allow the user to change the page size of the grid

Hi Kendo UI team,
The KendoUI 2012 Q2 release note says:
Added : Allow the user to change the page size of the grid.
Added: Ability to change the current page by typing it in a textbox.

Where can I find an example of these two items?

[Solved] ModalView close button click activates text area

Hello,

If you have a modalView that opens over a text area, clicking the 'close' button (using a JS method via data-click) will open up the iPhone keyboard after the modalView has closed.

This seems to be because the touch event seems to register 'through' the button so it registers in the element behind it. Perhaps the touchup is registered on the text area itself?

Full width buttons?

Hi All,

How can I make buttons the full width of the screen? E.g. http://demos.kendoui.com/mobile/modalview/index.html

I have been over the source of the demo and can not find anywhere where the width of the buttons is set, either in css or javascript.

Could someone please enlighten me.

Thanks.

As a side note: The level of documentation, or lack there of, is a serious barrier in relation to making a purchasing decision. Telerik really needs to address this asap.
