Hi all,
I'm wondering if anybody founds a work around for the binding of custom attributes to kendo widgets.
A very useful scenario for me would be the binding of the validator attributes like validaitonMessage or pattern. I'm working in a site that must be displayed in multiple languages, and I'm binding every label and localized rules to a model that controls the translation and how that input would behave based on the language.
Thanks

Hello Guillermo,
To achieve that I would recommend using the MVVM attribute binding. As an example:

Hi Alexander
Thanks for replying...
I'm aware of the attribute binding capabilities of MVVM, but it seems they are not supported on kendo widgets...
Please check: http://jsfiddle.net/7UYYZ/2/
If you run that script you will see a javascript error is raise with the following message:
The attr binding is not supported by the DropDownList widget

Hello Guillermo,
First of all let me apologize, I did not paid attention that you would like to bind the validation messages of Kendo widgets.
In that case I would recommend to define the validation messages as a functions that get and return the values of MVVM fields. As an example:
For convenience I prepared a sample page using this approach in action.

Hi Alexander
It works as expected. Thank you very much.
I will like to add that you may need to check for your input type to select the proper required message.
In general, I bound every label to a property on the model and it works as expected but I don't know if its a better way to handle translations. Do yo have any recommendations?
Thanks

Hi Guillermo,
Thank you for the feedback.
The KendoUI validator does not have a build-in translation functionality, so in order to dynamically change the warning's text I suggest using this approach.
