Questions on Kendo UI for jQuery Forum

I have a couple of widgets on a page that I want to be draggable, but I want to restrict the area from which the drag event may start (kind of like a "toolbar" at top of the widget that will move the whole widget). Is there any support for this functionality yet?

(To clarify: see this for an example.)

Look & Feel of DropDownList

Hi,

I've played around a bit with the controls on the demo site and would like to give you some quick feedback about the DropDownList control (e.g. http://demos.kendoui.com/overview/index.html -> country list)

This control feels unnatural to me. The reasons, in my view, are:

1. Inconsistent: Compared to other kendo UI controls (e.g. buttons) or the standard HTML controls, the DropDownList has a 3D effect -> a shadow

2. Delay: When I hoover over the DropDownList it gets highlighted. Only after a short (but visible) delay of may be 50ms, it pops-out the shadow (testes in Chrome)

3. Mouse Pointer: When I click on the DropDownList, the mouse pointer changes from the arrow to a ....text marker (-> see screenshot attached) and then back to the arrow

4. Performance: The reaction of the DropDownList feels slow/not reactive compared to standard HTML DropDownList controls

Note: With "standard HTML DropDownList controls" I mean e.g. chrome://settings/browser (type this URL into your chrome address bar).

Regards,
Mike

Multiple window z-index behavior: Trouble in paradise

Hi,

I have a need to have multiple windows interact.

The problem is, unlike your RadWindows for Ajax which will always be on top after receiving a mouse click, not so with the Kendo UI windows.

I will explain.

I open window A.

Window A launches window B.

Window B is UNDER window A.

I have written JQuery to search for the divs with the k-window classes, find the title span, and set the z-index behaviors I want but this is not as elegant as the behavior of your own RadWindows in the Telerik Ajax suite which I use on my other big ASP.NET project.

I believe your windows need to do 2 things for official v1 release.

A- Minimize

B- Whenever a window receives focus it should have the highest z-index.

Thanks!!

Template not working

Can you have a quick peek and see if you can detect why this would fail?

http://screencast.com/t/NgirLT9EIErZ

This is the second "template" I'm running after an ajax callback, code I believe is borderline identical...but this one just doesn't seem to run at all and I'm stumped

Can you spot the problem?

success: function (data) {

var docs = data.d; //Get the data

var doctemplate = kendo.template($("#dashwidget-document-template").html()); //compile the template

alert(doctemplate);

var result = doctemplate(docs);

//Run the template, SILENTLY FAILS HERE...NEVER GETS TO THE ALERT

alert(result);

$("#document-list").html(result); //display html

},

<div id="document-container">

<ul id="document-list">

<li>Loading...</li>

</ul>

</div>

<script id="dashwidget-document-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">

<li>#= Title #</li>

</script>

jQuip

jQuip or jQuery-in-parts
"...The core jquip.js is only 4.28KB (minified and gzipped) only 13% of the size of jQuery..."

Whether kendo UI works/will work with this library?

Kendo UI download Email confusion

I just downloaded the beta 2 and got an email. Under "Installation" it says
1. From the downloaded zip file extract the /examples folder.
2. Open it as a site using Visual Studio or other web development tool and browse the index.html file to see the local demos.

The above didn't work for me because opening just the examples folder as a site breaks the references to the js files in other folders. Heres what i did to make it work.

1. Extract the entire zip file (i extracted it to c:\telerik\KendoUIBeta2_2011_2_1007)
2. In VS2010, do a File, Open, Web site and in the "Open Web Site" window, hilite c:\telerik\KendoUIBeta2_2011_2_1007 and click [Open].
3. RightClick index.html and "View in Browser" or RightClick it and "Set as Start Page" then press Ctrl F5 to run the site.

I think it's important that novices get the beta to work right away as you lose a lot of people right away if something doesn't initially work. Or it could be that i'm not understanding the instructions properly.

Convert CSS to .less

It seems like the CSS used can be simplified and made extremely manageable if we create a .less file for it. I was thinking if we could control the look and feel for each widget.

Json data source as array

Hi,

I have come pretty far setting a chart up the way i want it, manipulating the examples provided. My problem is when Json encoding an array of the objects I use as the datasource, it does not work. I have looked around but not found any solution.

Here is my json array:

[{"0":{"counter":"10000","word":"someword1"},"1":{"counter":"9980","word":"someword21"},"2":{"counter":"9960","word":"someword3"},"3":{"counter":"9940","word":"someword4"},"4":{"counter":"9920","word":"someword5"}}]

Can anyone see a problem with the array? Or is this a wrong formatting, providing an array?

Here's the rest of the script which works without the "0","1" indexes.

Thanks for any help,

Ole M
