Roadmap

Hi, at last, a decent jQuery UI framework, a perfect fit for my stack!
Are you able to provide more information in your roadmap? There are many features discussed in these forums that refer to future releases, some of which will fundamentally alter my design patterns. Maybe a gantt chart.
Regards,
Andrew

Struggle with CREATE, UPDATE and DESTROY

I am trying to build a prototype consuming WebAPI services from KendoUI datasource based on the ContactManager sample which you can fin at:
http://wcf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting%20started%3a%20Adding%20support%20for%20getting%20a%20single%20resource%20and%20supporting%20POST%2c%20PUT%20and%20DELETE%20methods

Getting a dataSource and a bound grid populated with contacts is extremely easy based on the dpocumentatin on the Kendo web site bur I Struggle to add CREATE, UPDATE and DESTROY operations.

The approach I have taken is:
1) add create, update and destroy to the tranport array in the datasource definition
2) wire the click event of buttons to dataSource.create(), dataSource.update() and dataSource.destroy()

According to VS intellisense, dataSource.create() requires tow arguments named a and b. A quick look in the sources gives id and values which are passed to modelSet.create which calls model.set. Apparently, index is not required and in this case it assumes data.length. model.set takes two parameters fields and values. Whatwever the format I try for values, it does not seem to work.

Note that each contact has two properties, a ContactId set by the server InMemoryRepository and a Name.

Any clues?

01.<script type="text/javascript">

02. $(document).ready(function () {

03. // create a template using the above definition

04. var template = kendo.template($("#template").html());

05.

06. var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

07. transport: {

08. read: {

09. // the remote service url

10. url: "/api/contacts",

11. dataType: "json"

12. // additional parameters sent to the remote service

13. //,data: { $top: "4", $orderby: "Name" }

14. },

15. create: {

16. // the remote service url

17. url: "/api/contacts",

18. dataType: "json"

19. }

20. },

21. // subscribe to the CHANGE event of the data source

22. change: function () {

23. $("#contacts tbody").html(kendo.render(template, this.view())); // populate the table

24. }

25. });

26.

27.

28. $('#add').click(function () {

29. dataSource.create({Name: "hello"});

30. });

31.

32.

33. // read data

34. dataSource.read();

35.

36. //debugger;

37. });

38.</script>

Basic controls

Will it be possible to style the basic HTML controls (such as button etc.) with KendoUI?

Attached an example of "beautiful" styled HTML buttons which can be found in the Options Pane of Google Chrome.

Binding and the text value

Ok, so Combo functions like autocomplete right, you type, then see the items appear in the combo, then you click, one, and handle the change event right?

So how can I have my DS go and get a specific item, and have the combo update itself where it's change event is fired

Use-case is that I have a list of items I've previously found with the combo...just a UL\LI hanging out somewhere else on my page. So I want to click one of those and have it re-assigned to the combo (so then the combos change event is fired and my chain of events gets re-kicked off)

I can't seem to get it to work though...I can assign the .text or .value fine...but that doesn't affect the DS at all, and my change event is tied to this:

change: function (e) {

if (this._current) {

var item = this.dataSource.view()[this._current.index()];

Colouring an area between a min & max range?

Has anybody been able to colour an area between a min and max range? See attached image for an example.

I haven't been able to find this feature in the API, so I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a workaround.

Hi,

I would like to include in my application toolbar buttons.

Is there a way, using your k-classes, to construct a typical toolbar with image buttons and push down and up effects ???

Thanks in advance
