Kendo UI: The first and most urgent thing to do

I'm following the launch of Kendo UI closely.
IMHO what Kendo has to do right now is post a demo of a medium sized web app (>20 screens) showing us how to integrate al the pages eg via the menu widget.
The To-Do-List sample app is learning us nothing.
2 years ago, I've bought, studied, tested, flamed, ... ExtJs and never got to the point of building a decent web app.
This was THE MAJOR complaint of the ExtJs newsgroups. They have a lot of small widget demos but how do we integrate them into a medium sized app eg a webshop.
So, Kendo UI, please don't make the same mistake.
Show us a medium sized web app with all the widgets and - most important - how they interact with each other.

regards

Combine Date and Time Picker

Hy

Is it possible to combine the date and time picker into a single control? I think telerik for Asp.NET has susch a control!?

I don't want to have two fields, because then I have to merge the date and the time value on the server side.

Thank you
Micha

Refresh transport.data on the fly

Hi,

I am having trouble figuring out how to get the data source to re-read its data. This is in context of a grid being bound to the data source.

I can set a new filter on the the data source and it will re-get, issue a change event which updates the grid. But filters seems to be limited to the columns in the data source.

In my situation I need to change a transport.data parameter (I am also using parameterMap) for the new data.

I tried:
mygrid.dataSource.transport.read({ data: { some_param: "some_data" }});

In this case "some_param" shows up in parameterMap and I can pass it on as a parameter. The dataSource then re-gets again but does not issue a change event, so the grid is not updated.

I was expecting to be able to change transport options and then do something like dataSource.Refresh() which in turn would re-get and trigger the change event.

OR provide some custom data in a filter that is related to the columns in the data.

Another way to put is allow client filtering, but go to the server if the filter column does not exist locally.

Any ideas?

Can we stripe rows in a grid using a row template?

Is this possible? It would be nice to simply pass a param that defines the class assigned to every other table row. But if not, defining a row template and alt row template like .Net's repeater would suffice.

Column chart approximation and scaling

Hi There,

thanks for creating such a great UI tool. I have been able to generate lovely graphs. But I have an issue with Column chart, when I have values in array like 99,99,100,100,100, the chart scales up and all columns get scaled and display no columns because the y axis now goes to 90-05%. I need to show the originals values in the Y axis instead of logarithmic values.

Any solution in the new release?
Thanks Bunty

Setting DropDownList height?

Hi,

I can see how to set the width of the drop down area, e.g.

var dropdownlist = $("#titles").data("kendoDropDownList");

dropdownlist.list.width(500);

But how to set the height? By analogy I tried the following

dropdownlist.list.height(500);

and it didn't have any effect.

Multiple grouping on specifying data source

var myDataSource = [{ firstname: 'me', lastname: 'you', Age: 5 }];

$('#grid')..kendoGrid({

data: {

dataSource: myDataSource ,

pageSize: 500 ,

group: { field: ' firstname ' , dir: "asc" },

groupable: false,

columns: [ { field: 'firstname' , title: ''} /* and so on */

});

I want to have groping on two columns for example on firstname and then sub grouping on

lastname when creating the grid. I know it is possible when the grouping is enabled and user can drag and drop multiple columns for nested groping, but I want to restrict the user from selecting himself and do the grouping on showing.

Maybe something like
