Set view to the initial state

[Raja]

Hi,

I am building a data entry screen using Kendo UI SPA. My users will do lot of data entry each day. So after filling in a form and pressing Save should save the records and again present them the same screen for data entry. How can I reset all the controls (or View Model) to initial state?

Thanks

Hello Raja,

The observable object does not provide any way to reset its properties to its initial state, I am afraid you will need to manually set each of them:

I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for the response. But I am facing a problem this way also. If I set the field to a specific value, control that is bound to that value is not effected. I thought the value binding is bi-directional. Can you help?

Hi Raja,

That's correct - the value binding is bi-directional. Can you reproduce the problem you are facing in the Dojo? We will take a look.

I think I found out what I am doing wrong. I have a model property "selectedValue" which I am trying to set from a function in the model like this which is not working.

model.selectedValue = 1;

Below piece of code seems to be working and changes the associated dropdown selection.

model.set("selectedValue",1);

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

this is correct, you should use the set method, as our documentation suggests in order for the bindings to update correctly.
