The FormItemBuilder exposes an EditorTemplateView method which allows a view to represent the item and provides the entire modal to the view.
As the elements available to forms are limited to those hard coded by Telerik and whilst extension methods can be employed to expand this limitation slightly, the ability to create a context specific view would be ideal
The current implementation looks like this
Html.Kendo().Form<Model>()
.Items(items =>
{
items.AddGroup("Test", 1, 10)
.Items(i =>
{
i.Add().Field(x => x.Username)
i.Add().Field(x => x.Password).EditorTemplateView(Html.Partial("MyView"))
}
);
})In this example, the entire model is provided into MyView.
I suggest adding an EditorTemplateFor that uses the lamda expression provided in the Field() method such as
Html.Kendo().Form<Model>()
.Items(items =>
{
items.AddGroup("Test", 1, 10)
.Items(i =>
{
i.Add().Field(x => x.Username)
i.Add().Field(x => x.Password).EditorTemplateViewFor(Html.Partial("MyView"))
}
);
})
.Items(items =>
{
items.Add()
.Field(f => f.Type)
.Label(l => l.Text("Type:"))
.Editor(e =>
{
e.Upload()
}
}
At moment the Form Group does not support the HtmlAttributes() method. Is it possible to implement?
For example:
@(Html.Kendo().Form<Model>()
.Name("exampleForm")
...
.Items(items =>
{
items.AddGroup()
.HtmlAttributes(...)
.Items(i => {...});
})
)
The Kendo Form should include native ListBox editor support including joining and swapping items between two ListBox's using ConnectWith.
To use a ListBox in the Kendo Form currently requires a custom editor which is overly complex.
Provide an option to configure orientation per groups.
