Description

I want to constrain and center the Kendo UI for Vue Dialog within its parent component rather than centering it on the entire page. By default, the Dialog uses position: fixed CSS, causing it to be centered relative to the viewport. I need the Dialog to appear near the area where it was triggered for better user experience.

This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:

• How can I position a Kendo UI for Vue Dialog relative to its parent container?
• How can I make a Kendo UI for Vue Dialog appear near the trigger event?
