New Form Widget, how to cancel a form.

[Lance]

How does one do a 'Cancel' on a Form widget. I see the events for Submit / Clear / Validate. It looks like the only way to leave a form is to submit it.

Hello Lance,

I am not sure that I understand the scenario correctly. Therefore, could you elaborate a bit more what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Generally speaking, the Form renders a "Submit" and "Clear" button by default, that could be replaced through a template if needed where a custom button could be rendered. This can be achieved through the .ButtonsTemplateId() option:

@(Html.Kendo().Form<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Form.UserViewModel>()
  .Name("formExample")
  ...
  .ButtonsTemplateId("formButtons")
)

<script id="formButtons" type="text/x-kendo-template">
  <button class="custom-btn">Custom Action</button>
</script>

With the above setup you can wire a click handler to the custom button and execute specific logic when clicked.
