Panel bar custom helper : how to add item

[Antoine]

Hello,

I need to make my own helper of panel bar to manage conditional displaying of items.

I made it like this

public static Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.PanelBarBuilder MovementPanel(this HtmlHelper helper, string name, Boolean withContainer,string Controller, RouteValueDictionary export)
{
    Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.PanelBarBuilder myPanel = helper.Kendo().PanelBar()
                                                        .Name(name)
                                                        .ExpandAll(true)
                                                        .ExpandMode(PanelBarExpandMode.Multiple);


     PanelBarItem itAction = new PanelBarItem();
     itAction.Text = "Actions";
     itAction.Items.Add(NewBarItem("Error detail","javascript:void(0)"));
     itAction.Items.Add(NewBarItem("File content", "javascript:void(0)"));

     PanelBarItem itExcel = new PanelBarItem();
     itExcel.Text = "Excel export";
     itExcel.Action("ExportToExcel", Controller, export);
     itAction.Items.Add(itExcel);


    if (withContainer)
    {
        itAction.Items.Add(NewBarItem("Container history", "javascript:void(0)"));
    }

    myPanel.ItemAction(ac => ac.Items.Add(itAction));
    myPanel.Events(events =>
        events.Select("OnSelectAction")
    );


    return myPanel;
}

private static PanelBarItem NewBarItem(string text, string url)
{
    PanelBarItem itTemp = new PanelBarItem();
    itTemp.Text = text;
    itTemp.Url = url;

    return itTemp;
}

But how can I link items to the PanelBarBuilder ?

With this instructions : myPanel.ItemAction(ac => ac.Items.Add(itAction));

Method only returns javascript.

thanks for your help

Hello Antoine,

ItemAction is a function that will be executed for each of the items, it is not a JavaScript function, it is a C# function.

myPanel.ItemAction(x=> {});

Could you please clarify what exactly is the issue that you struggle with, could you please explain a scenario?
