Open the popup for splitbutton when clicked

[Shawn]

Hello,

Is there a way to open the toolbar's splitbutton popup to show the items when the splitbutton itself is clicked instead of the little arrow?

Thanks,

Shawn A.

I think I managed to figure it out via this link https://www.telerik.com/forums/open-split-button-with-js. 

Here's the code I came up with, which is very close to the one in the link above, for anyone who's interested:

function onClick(e) {
    var element = e.target.closest(".k-split-button");
    if (element) {
        var popup = element.data("kendoPopup");
        if (popup) {
            popup.open();
        }
    }
}

 

Thanks,

Shawn A.

Hi Shawn,

You are indeed correct that the Toolbar's click event could be used to determine if the SplitButton wrapper is clicked, and then open its popup. I think that this is a good example that could be added in the Knowledge Base section in the documentation, thus I have added a task to our backlog for creating the resource.
