Time picker masking

I am using the kendo timepicker and its working wonderfully

@(Html.Kendo().TimePicker()

.Name("EndTime")

.Value(@Model.EndTime)

.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", id = "EndTime", name = "EndTime", autocomplete = "off" })

)

The problem I'm running into is users who want to type values aren't including the AM/PM nor following the correct format. How can I apply a mask to the timepicker so that they are forced to format properly?

ListView DataSource Not Available on RequestEnd/Change Event

Hello!

I am using Kendo MVC UI. I have a Kendo Window that I do a refresh with a passed in url that obtains a MVC partial view which contains a Kendo ListView. This ListView, I do a DataSource read. I created a javascript function to call after the data is received to use the items returned. I tried using the RequestEnd/Change event to call it. It calls the function but the ListView does not appear to be done as the Loading icon is visible still and I don't have access to the dataItems. I am using version 2015.2.805.

How can I access the dataItems right after the request is made to get them?

Thanks!

[Solved] Trouble updating children through model

Attached are the two simple files that demonstrate the problem. I'm trying to load a simple JSON file and then update the data through the model. The trouble is, while the field value is changing in the model, the screen never gets updated unless I change the root of the tree. Any assistance is appreciated.

[Solved] Use Edit button in Row to Navigate

Is there way to hook the Edit button in the row to navigate to another template? I would like to navigate to another template that has a hierarchical grid that would display relevant data. In this case the initial grid shows a listing of tests.

When the user clicks the "edit" button in the grid I want to navigate to another page representing the questions and answers for the selected test in a hierarchical grid. So how could the second page's Grid pass the testId from the action (URL) to the Read() function specified in the grid?

Thanks!

Strip HTML tags from content programatically

I am using the Kendo UI angular editor and need to save both the markup and the plain text from inside the control. I would like to keep the markup text encoded. This editor is being used within a custom template for a Kendo UI Grid popup edit. From what I have researched, I see two possible options to handle this.

Write code to programmatically call the cleanFormatting toolbar method, save the original copy of the text, create a range of the body of the editor, select this range, call the cleanFormatting method, and save the new copy of the text.
Programmatically replace all markup in the original copy of the text using some jQuery approach.

I would think that the first option would be the cleanest since it would be using Kendo throughout. However, the original copy of the text is encoded and calling the cleanFormatting method does not seem to call the exec method listed in the tools array for the editor. Furthermore, all HTML tags are still present. This is what I have so far for my tools and for the create method for my grid:

vm.editorOptions = {

tools: [

{

name: 'cleanFormatting',

tooltip: 'Clean formatting',

exec: function (e) {

console.log('ready to clean');

var editor = $(this).data('kendoEditor');

editor.exec('cleanformatting');

}

},

'insertUnorderedList',

'insertOrderedList',

'foreColor',

'backColor'

],

execute: function(e){console.log("executing command", e.name, e.command);}

};

function createLogEntry(options) {

var markup = options.data.markupText;

console.log(markup);

var editor = $('table.k-editor.k-editor-widget').kendoEditor().data('kendoEditor');

var range = editor.createRange();

range.selectNodeContents(editor.body);

editor.selectRange(range);

editor.exec('cleanFormatting');

options.data.plainText = options.data.markupText;

console.log(options.data); //...

}

When I use the button on the editor itself, I get exactly what I want. Is there a way to handle this programmatically, or is that not possible?

Because of the encoding, getting a jQuery method to strip the tags does not seem to work either. I have tried a few approaches, including

var markup = options.data.markupText;

var plain = $('<div>' + markup + '</div>').text();

That seems to keep all the HTML tags that are inside the string, though.

Is there some way to do this with Kendo editor? Thanks for all your help!

@{

// How would I get the value of this var?

var parentTest = ?

}

Thanks

[Solved] Editor by default is in read-only mode

First of all, someone should review the code in these forums so that if a user hits the backspace key when creating a new post the page does not navigate back! So this is my second attempt to post this question because my first 95% complete post was vaporized when I hit the backspace key. [arg!]

I am basing the code from this documentation:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/editors/editor/overview

I have a razor form with two editors on them and am formatting them as in the link above but they are showing up as read only. Also the data from the model is not populating the control. I tried using a standard input control as well with the same results.

Here is the code:

<p>

@Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Test.IntroText, new {style = "width:591px", id = "introtext"})

</p>

I tried removing the style attribute above with no change.

Here is the JavaScript:

$("#thankyoutext").kendoEditor({

resizable: {

content: true,

toolbar: true,

editable : true <<-- Just tried that does not change anything

},

tools: [

"bold",

"italic",

"underline",

"strikethrough",

"justifyLeft",

"justifyCenter",

"justifyRight",

"justifyFull",

"insertUnorderedList",

"insertOrderedList",

"indent",

"outdent",

"createLink",

"unlink",

"insertImage",

"insertFile",

"subscript",

"superscript",

"createTable",

"addRowAbove",

"addRowBelow",

"addColumnLeft",

"addColumnRight",

"deleteRow",

"deleteColumn",

"viewHtml",

"formatting",

"cleanFormatting",

"fontName",

"fontSize",

"foreColor",

"backColor",

"print"

]

});

var editor = $("#thankyoutext").data("kendoEditor"),

editorBody = $(editor.body);

editorBody.attr("contenteditable", true).find("a").off("click.readonly");

Can someone help explain why it is greyed, read-only and does not contain data from the model?

[Solved] angular approach to hiding grid toolbar

I am looking for a way to hide either the toolbar or the buttons with in it. I am using angular with the batch editing and when I disenable the grid I want to be able to be able to either hid or disable the batch toolbar.

I have found example like this that work for MVC or JS approaches, using the databound function,

http://www.telerik.com/forums/how-do-you-remove-toolbar-separators

I have also tried doing it this way, while it does find the element, there are no valid methods or properties

                    var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("k-grid-toolbar");

while (elements.length > 0) {

elements[0].parentNode.removeChild(elements[0]);

}
