Description

How can I allow zooming in and out the Kendo UI for jQuery Diagram only through pressing the Ctrl key?

Solution

The following example demonstrates how to set up the Diagram to allow zooming in and out only when the Ctrl key is pressed.

    <div style="overflow:auto; width: 1000px; height: 300px;">
      <div id="diagram"></div>
    </div>

    <script>
      $("#diagram").kendoDiagram({
        dataSource: new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({
          data: diagramNodes()
        }),
        layout: {
          type: "tree",
          horizontalSeparation: 30,
          verticalSeparation: 20
        },
        shapeDefaults: {
          width: 40,
          height: 40
        },
        zoomStart: function(ev) {
          if (!ev.meta.ctrlKey) {
            ev.preventDefault(true);
          }
        }
      });

      function diagramNodes() {
        var root = { name: "0", items: [] };
        addNodes(root, [3, 3, 3, 3]);
        return [root];
      }

      function addNodes(root, levels) {
        if (levels.length > 0) {
          for (var i = 0; i < levels[0]; i++) {
            var node = { name: "0", items: [] };
            root.items.push(node);

            addNodes(node, levels.slice(1));
          }
        }
      }
    </script>
