It would be awesome if the PanelBar had data binding capability like treeView.
This has been completed, but without the ability to template the data. http://kendoui-feedback.telerik.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/6097226-support-templates-in-panelbar
We are still monitoring the interest in data binding functionality for the panelbar, no definite plans for implementation yet.
Any status update?
Thanks for sharing. The same request is applicable for the menu and tabstrip widgets, using the HierarchicalDataSource component.
