Feature request: isBusy(true / false), enabled(true / false)

Those two methods would be very nice on any control. They would allow developers to simply enable or disable controls, or set them busy (maybe display a spinner on the control?).

I think this (those) features would be implemented quite simple and make a developers live considerably easier.

Thanks for your great work so far!

Non standard AJAX data

When working on the grid tool for Kendo UI and ColdFusion it passes the paging and common request data as expected. There is other data that comes back as string values and it doesn't get broken up. Perhaps this is because the results are in brackets with text that should perhaps be in quotes. Has anyone had problems with this on other platforms?

method: getRegistrations
take: 5
skip: 5
page: 2
pageSize: 5
sort[0][field]: institution_main
sort[0][dir]: desc
filter[filters][0][logic]: or
filter[filters][0][filters][0][field]: institution_main
filter[filters][0][filters][0][operator]: eq
filter[filters][0][filters][0][value]: 2
filter[filters][0][filters][1][field]: institution_main
filter[filters][0][filters][1][operator]: eq
filter[filters][0][filters][1][value]: 4
filter[filters][1][field]: institution_id
filter[filters][1][operator]: contains
filter[filters][1][value]: 3
filter[logic]: and

As you can see most of the fields are properly formatted. The sort field just doesn't come over right. The filter fields get even worse.

It seems like this should be
sort[0]['dir']: desc
vs
sort[0][dir]: desc

There is a great open source library that can process this if the field names in brackets are delivered in quotes.

SQL Server Database using oData

Hello,

I don't know where to start...

But I'll start here:
I was following along on the Kendo UI Video you guys have about the Datasource video.
I managed to get the data from my SQL Server Database Service and populated the data in a Kendo UI Grid.

I have a splitter with a grid in the middle column.

I created the 2 forms on the left and the right columns for the Create and Edit Forms, respectively.

Whenever I enter the fields necessary for my create form, and I click my create button, nothing happens. Nothing shows up on fiddler, nor Chrome. But my field clearing and dataSource.read(); do work.

Here is my jQuery for the DataSource:

var payItems = kendo.data.Model.define({

id: "PayItemID"

});

var URL = "http://myserver/service.svc/PayItems"

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

type: "odata",

transport: {

read: {

url: URL,

type: "GET"

},

create: {

url: URL,

type: "POST"

},

update: {

type: "PUT"

},

destroy: {

type: "DELETE"

}

},

schema: {

total: "count",

model: payItems

}

}); //end of dataSource var

I also have the update and destroy urls dynamically in the grid's change event.

this.dataSource.options.transport.update.url = URL + "(" + id + ")";

this.dataSource.options.transport.destroy.url = URL + "(" + id + ")";

Which doesn't work by the way. Whenever I click on my delete or update button, the url that gets used is the html's url.

Which then I went on to try the manual approach, I put in a specific item that I wanted to update. And when I click on my update button, my grid gets updated but my service does not. When I used fiddler, I noticed that my request header method is using "OPTIONS" instead of "PUT". The same for my delete button, the row on the grid disappears, but the request header method is using "OPTIONS" instead of "DELETE".

I was wondering if you guys could help me solve this, or direct me to a resource that has the functionality I need.

Please and thank you,

P

Loading data with ajax problem

Hi, firstly thanks for this modern library.
I have a problem with kendoTabs. I download kendoUI and try examples inside the rar.
But tabs doesn't work with chrome lastest version(16.0.912.63 m). Firefox is just fine.
On the other hand, same example on the web demos works fine.
Is there any difference between local examples where I downlaoded and online examples.
I couldn't understand.

Change Focus on Combo Closed

I can't seem to set focus to a plain input control on the combo closed event

...only way I can get it to work is by putting in a timer...am I missing something? When there's no timer the cursor stays IN the combo even though the .focus() code on the input is hit

DropDownList Close Event

I have a DropDownList with checkboxes. I want to keep the list open when the user checks a checkbox, and only close it when they click the document or the combo element itself. I can't seem to get the logic right. I have

var consumers = dataSource.get(id).data.Consumers;
var dd = $(this).kendoDropDownList({
dataSource: consumers,
template: $("#consumerTemplate").html(),
close: function(e) { e.preventDefault(); },
});

<script id="consumerTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-tmpl">
  <input type="checkbox"
  name="${ data.Name }"
  value="${ data.Name }" ${ data.IsSelected ? "checked" : "" }  /><span style="padding-left: 10px;">${ data.Name }</span>

</script>

Can someone please advise on how to make this work?

Mimic .NET Master Pages

I am trying to think of a way to mimic .NET's master page concept in KendoUI.

I want the ability to edit one page's HTML and it be reflected across the whole site. If I change the site layout I don't want to have to do the same edit's over and over on every page.

Could this be done with templates somehow?
