UI Issue with windows-phone-7 project with kendo mobile and phonegap

[Karthik]

Hi Guys,

I am using Kendo UI Trail Version "v2013.2.716" for mobile development with phonegap, currently we support Android/iOS/WP7. I am trying to run a basic demo with Phonegap and Kendo UI. Its running fine, but i can't see the UI theme its like a blank screen. 

I check here in kendo ui forum, they told there is no support for WP7 because lack of CSS3 features in IE9 browsers.  I want to know whether this kendo mobile ""v2013.2.716" version will support wp7.

If not, it will support WP8 latest one???

H Karthik,

Windows Phone 7 is a platform that is not supported by Kendo UI Mobile. Unfortunately there are no plans for its support if this WP version. 

Kendo UI Mobile supports WP8, so you should not experience any problems implementing it. You can check the supported platforms on the bottom of this page:

Hi Kiril,

Thanks for the confirmation about the Windows-Phone-7 issue.  I would like to ask few things. If we develop with iOS, Android, BB.  Its just giving the native look kind of text box, buttons which are appeared as in native platform. Is there anyway to right same kind of button/form elements for all platform commonly using Kendo Mobile UI.
Ex: If i use a text-box   
<input type="text" data-bind="value: id"  />

The above text-box will look as per native in their own platform. But i want to show same kind of text-box for all platform. 

Like i saw something like k-autocomplete in Kendo UI. Like that anything possible with inset type in Kendo Mobile to write a common style of form elements.

Hi Karthik,

You can force the Kendo UI controls to look the same on all platforms by setting the platform configuration property of the application. Like for example:

var app = new kendo.mobile.Application(document.body,{
   platform: "ios"
});

However you cannot do the same for the controls that are not part of the Kendo UI Mobile suite - like the text-box for example.
