Hi,

I build a Kendo Dojo to demonstrate my point :

Dojo

I want to adjust the size of my DropDownList after each setDataSource command.

The current behavior adjust the height on first setDataSource only. I place two buttons to expose my point. If i click Small and Large after, the dropdown is very small and I need to scroll. Otherwise if I click the large button and small after, the dropdown is very large and show empty spaces after items.

I try resise, and refresh but it not working.

How can I adjust the size manually ? Thanks!

I have a series of Kendo UI Jquery DropDownLists. When one is selected, the change event fires and makes an ajax call to get the next list's options. This works fine when a user manually selects one and then the next, however I have a button that will auto populate all lists with selected options via the .value(123) and .trigger("change") calls. Unfortunately, the trigger event doesn't wait for the change to finish before calling the next set of .value(234) and .trigger("change") events. How can I fix this? 

Here is an example DoJo. In it, note that if you click "Choose Florida"  when "south" is not already selected you get nothing. Also note that the console is logging "Looing for Florida" before it logs "Now I have the states".

I am using a dropdownlist widget in an ajax form used to edit an object. When the form loads, I need to initialize the dropdown, set its datasource, and programmatically set the selected dropdown item based on two values (compound key). However,  the return statement in my ddAssignee.select(function()) does not execute, so nothing gets selected. I checked the contents of ddAssignee.dataSource.view() immediately after calling setDataSource() and it was empty, so I'm assuming this is why nothing gets selected. However, I have a separate button that is  used to select the dropdown item after the form loads ("Take It" button), which works fine. I'm just trying to figure out what is missing after setting the datasource that is causing the dataSource.view() to still be empty. 

UPDATE: I overlooked this info about select(): 

  • If the widget is not bound (e.g. autoBind is set to false), the select method will not pre-fetch the data before continuing with the selection and value setting (unlike the value method), and no item will be selected.

            However, setting autoBind to true still does not solve the problem.

I have attached:

-Screenshot of the edit form

-Edit form html with ajax form

-InitAssigneeDropdown() basic dropdown initialization

-GetAllAssigneesDataSource() returns the remote data for the dropdown via kendo.data.DataSource

- onEditTask function (executes when button is clicked to open the edit form - where issue happens)

- "Take It" button event (where select(function()) works successfully)

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

i have a dropdown. When the value is set in open event, the value is selected only for the first 16 items (depending on itemHeight in virtual). How do I get the value to always be selected and automatically scroll to the selected value? Below you'll find a running example.

Thanks for your help.

is it possible to change the behavior to have the item just selected instead of filtered to give the ability to the user to select the value from the whole datasource?

now the user just see limited set of data according to the parent selection

I was trying to implement Kendodropdowntree , I came across following situation which I am not able to understand


                $(dropdowntree).kendoDropDownTree({
                placeholder: "Select ...",
                height: "auto",
                dataSource:  //HARD CODED VALUE GOES HERE 
            });
       } 

Above example will work fine when , I hard code those datasource values. When I try to pass some variable there it will not work

var datatobind= somedata // data in exact format it is expected 
{
        
                $(dropdowntree).kendoDropDownTree({
                placeholder: "Select ...",
                height: "auto",
                dataSource:  datatobind
            });
       }

Even I tried passing variable of following type

var dataSourcetype = new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({
        data: datatobind
    });

 
{
        
                $(dropdowntree).kendoDropDownTree({
                placeholder: "Select ...",
                height: "auto",
                dataSource:  dataSourcetype.options.data
            });
       }

But even above also doesn't solve problem, I am not able to get it , why passing exact same variable is not binding to data source.

Hi Team,

When a drodpdownlist is loading data, the loading icon (k-input-loading-icon) has a wrong height causing the widget height to change too, resulting in a weird "pumping effect" in the form.

To reproduce, simply look at the dropdownlist demo page :

https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/dropdownlist/cascadingdropdownlist?autoRun=true&theme=bootstrap-main

Any workaround?

 

Regards,

Laurent.
