Drawer shoud be more structured like the TabStrip and Support LoadContentFrom
It would allow the drawer to be used as a navigation toll and more responsive site if instead of having to build is item via a template to define items like the tabstrip widget and each item defined to support Loadcontentfrom.

Example:

@(Html.Kendo().Drawer()
              .Name("SideMenu")
              .Items(i =>
              {
                  i.Add().Text("Dimensions & Weights")
                      .Icon("Icon2")
                      .Selected(true)
                      .LoadContentFrom(Url.Content("~/Content/web/tabstrip/ajax/ajaxContent1.html"));

                  i.Add().Text("Engine")
                      .Icon("Icon2")
                      .LoadContentFrom(Url.Content("~/Content/web/tabstrip/ajax/ajaxContent2.html"));

                  i.Add().Text("Chassis")
                      .Icon("Icon3")
                      .LoadContentFrom(Url.Content("~/Content/web/tabstrip/ajax/ajaxContent3.html"));
              })
        )

Our dev team is eyeing this tool for use in a wizard workflow.  I agree that enhancing the API to provide more options for loading dynamic content into the drawer panels would a worthwhile improvement to the Drawer component.

Thanks,

Fred

Hello. This is exactly my use case and I did manage to do it with JQuery. I'm just requesting this feature to simplify and unify the feature as other Controls you offer in the suite works.

Hi Johnathan,

If I understand you correctly you want to use the Kendo UI Drawer with remote views (separate HTML files). If this is the case, please check the following documentation article that gives more information on how to achieve this:

Please note that this article uses Kendo UI for jQuery but since the MVC components are wrappers of the jQuery widgets the logic is the same for Kendo Drawer for ASP.NET MVC.

In case this is not the use-case of what you need please give more details so I could further check if that is accomplishable.
