Possibility to remove 'x' for dialog closing

[Ján]

Hello,

i have a feature request for Kendo UI for Angular 2. It would be nice to have possibility to create dialogs without 'x' in the top right corner. For example if one wants to create a confirmation dialog hat only has 'yes'/no  buttons that user has to choose from, without possibility to dismiss dialog with 'x'.

Hi Ján,

Thank you for the feedback. We have not included such an option, as there is a relatively straightforward approach to achieve the desired layout via CSS only:

styles: [`
      >>> .k-window-actions.k-dialog-actions {
        display: none;
      }
    `]

The whole title bar can also be removed altogether by omitting the "title" property:

I hope this helps, but if you have the time, please submit a feature request to our UserVoice portal as well:

It is closely monitored, and helps us prioritize, based on customer demand, when updating our roadmap. Thank you in advance.

This solution is fine for dialogs that we create using markup or if you want it globally. In our case, however, we use DialogService to spawn dialogs and in some cases we don't mind if it has close button, but in some cases we would like to remove it and currently this is not configurable

I submitted a feature request to UserVoice

Hello Ján,

Thank you for submitting the feature request. Meanwhile you can use the following workaround to remove the close button conditionally, for example based on some class or other property of the click target that opens the Dialog via a service:

Direct DOM manipulation definitely is not the best way to accomplish the desired layout, but this is still a working option that you might consider until we provide a public API for enabling/disabling the close button.
