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.
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.
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.
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.
