Pass parameter/value to kendo window

[Aaron]

HI,

I'm new to using mvc, kendo & even javascript. I basically need help on how to send data from a button which will be used to bind with a Kendo Editor. I followed the Kendo example for opening a window using jquery but now i want to pass a value (id perhaps)

My code:

@model IEnumerable<Scholarship2013.Models.AwardCart>


<table id="awardSearchResultGrid" style="width:100%">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th data-field="awardName">Award Name</th>
                    <th data-field="description">Award Description</th>
                    <th>Essay</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
            @if (Model!=null)
            {
                foreach (var awc in Model.Where(a => a.Award.IsEssayRequired == true))
                {
                    <tr>
                        <td>@awc.Award.AwardName</td>
                        <td>@awc.Award.AwardDescription</td>

                        <td><span id="undo" class="k-button" onclick="ShowAward(@awc.AwardID)">Add Essay</span></td>
                    </tr>
                }
            }
            </tbody>
</table>

@(Html.Kendo().Window().Name("window")
    .Title("Essay for ")
    .Content(@<text>
    <div>
        @Html.Kendo().EditorFor("Value of ID here").Name("Test").Value("test")
    </div>
    </text>)
    .Visible(false)
    .Modal(true)
    .Draggable(true)
    .Width(1024)

)

<script>
    function onClose() {
        $("#undo").show();
    }

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#undo").bind("click", function() {
                $("#window").data("kendoWindow").open();

            });
    });
</script>

Hello Aaron,

You could post the value to the server with a form:

@{Html.Kendo().Window().Name("window")
    .Title("Essay for ")
    .Content(@<text>
        @using (Html.BeginForm())
        {
            <div>
                @Html.Kendo().EditorFor(m=> m.Property)
            </div>
            <input type="submit" value="Save" />
        }
    </text>)
    .Visible(false)
    .Modal(true)
    .Draggable(true)
    .Width(1024)
    .Render();
}

If you wish to use an Ajax request, then you could use an Ajax form instead. An alternative solution is to get the value from the editor with the value method and post it with the jQuery ajax method. Kind regards,
