As nodejs + express + jade is here, i think you should have more examples with jade and nodejs...

I'd like to use Kendo, but the available themes are too restrictive, much less vibrant that the MVC themes.  And the Themebuilder is not adequate to extend or alter them.  Can you add richer themes to Kendo?

A ListBox widget with the following core features: skinnable, drag and drop to transfer items, ajax binding, support for templates.

I have seen a few different samples on how to implement a dynamic skin chooser for Kendo UI Web, but I think this would be a great UI control to be added to the suite itself.  None of the code samples I have found are simply drop in and use, but require slight modifications.

Slider seems to only output numbers, I want to use it for date ranges, ala mint.com.

Validation framework is great, but too much of a black-box.  No way to understand what failed.  For example, try using a bootstrap styled form, and have kendo validate and add/remove bootstrap error/OK styles from parent elements using onblur.

When I hit Update wizard, there were pending changed in TFS so the Wizard made me confirm the update failed 849 times

There are some bug on parseExact function where check literal return value is not checked producing as consequence that invalid dates are accepted.
You can see this in http://jsfiddle.net/OnaBai/LnaTq/1/
Where I show that a date as String that equals to 2012-09-26 and parsed with format HH:mm is recognized as Jan 01 1900 20:12:00
because the 2012 gets converted into 20 hours and 12 minutes.
As I mentioned above the bug is due to the fact that checkLiteral return value is not tested in parseExact function allowing the execution to continue skipping the ':' of the format string.
If you want me to send you fixed solution I have already implemented it. By the way, watch out that all but one checkLiteral should be checked for false.

I don't know what parameters the plugin sends to the server side.. in the grid for example there are parameters for pagination. I need to know how should I implement the PHP/Java code.

I am showing gauges right next to charts, but the gauge doesn't have a title like the charts do.  I'm going to have to create and position my own title, and style it just like the charts.  It would be nice if the gauge had a title, and seems like a fairly easy addition.  Thanks!

Example of existing:
http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com/

Standart scrolling in windows sucks (and takes mush space).
,Kendo Grid has to have designable scrolls, pls :)

Our data model classes look kind of like this:

public abstract class VMBaseDynamic<TViewModel, TModel> {
public object Id { get; set; }
}

public abstract class VMBaseGeneric<TViewModel, TModel, TIdentifier> : VMBaseDynamic<TViewModel, TModel>
{
public new virtual TIdentifier Id {...}
}

So anything that subclasses from them has two Id properties, the one in VMBaseDynamic hidden in VMBaseGeneric.

The reflection code in the newest Kendo code, in GridEditableSettings.CreateDefaultItem, calls GetProperty() on the data model class for each of the column names.  One of them is "Id".  It finds two, and chokes with an "ambiguous match found" error.  I ended up working around this by adding a function which searches through the class's ancestors for the first matching property, as in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/994698/ambiguousmatchexception-type-getproperty-c-sharp-reflection; you may want to consider this as a friendlier approach in future.

It would be great if there was ability to freeze key columns in grid similar to freeze pane in excel this is a much demanded functionality atleast in my organization

Hello,

I want to update the kendo ui version to 2012.2.913. but couldnt find the proper link to update it. please help me.

Thank You

There is no way to use tree as a column in a grid.
A TreeGrid would use hierarchical datasource where one column would show nodes and other columns would show node properties.

Here is an example (from Sencha Ext JS)
http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.1.0-gpl/examples/tree/treegrid.html

Our team immediately noticed the different behavior of the Kendo DropDownList. Exactly as outlined in this forum post: 

http://www.kendoui.com/forums/ui/dropdownlist/dropdown-list-and-using-alpha-key-for-next-item.aspx

Hitting the same alpha-key multiple times should cycle through the entries that begin with that letter.

Right now, it is not possible to specify data-max or data-min for fields as time or dates (data-role="datepicker", data-role="timepicker"...) since the parsing of the options only recognizes null, true, false, float and JSON objects (NOTE: it works fine if you use kendoTimPicker({min:...}).

So I propose to change parseOption in kendo.core.js for adding an extra condition as:
else if (evalRegExp.test(value)) {
            var res = evalRegExp.exec(value);
            if (res[1] !== null) {
                value = eval(res[1]);
            }
        }
where evalRegExp is:
evalRegExp = /^eval\((.*)\)/
and its usage would be define data-min="eval(new Date(2000,1,1,6,0,0))"
Any option that matches eval(.*) would be returned as result of evaluating it.

The final code would be:
    var templateRegExp = /template$/i,
        jsonRegExp = /^\s*(?:\{(?:.|\n)*\}|\[(?:.|\n)*\])\s*$/,
        jsonFormatRegExp = /^\{(\d+)(:[^\}]+)?\}/,
        dashRegExp = /([A-Z])/g,
        evalRegExp = /^eval\((.*)\)/;

    function parseOption(element, option) {
        var value;

        if (option.indexOf("data") === 0) {
            option = option.substring(4);
            option = option.charAt(0).toLowerCase() + option.substring(1);
        }

        option = option.replace(dashRegExp, "-$1");
        value = element.getAttribute("data-" + kendo.ns + option);

        if (value === null) {
            value = undefined;
        } else if (value === "null") {
            value = null;
        } else if (value === "true") {
            value = true;
        } else if (value === "false") {
            value = false;
        } else if (!isNaN(parseFloat(value))) {
            value = parseFloat(value);
        } else if (jsonRegExp.test(value) && !jsonFormatRegExp.test(value)) {
            value = $.parseJSON(value);
        } else if (evalRegExp.test(value)) {
            var res = evalRegExp.exec(value);
            if (res[1] !== null) {
                value = eval(res[1]);
            }
        }

        return value;
    }

Add a function that will return the Kendo UI version we are working with.

Getting versions of the underlying librairies (Like JQuery) could also be interesting

HI Telerik,

We are coming over from the AJAX suite and have to say that the demos and documentation are horrible at best.

One of the greatest strength we have seen with Telerik has been your demos of almost every variation and sample most people could come by with news ones added quite often. If there wasn't a demo you were almost sure to find it in the Documentation.

The last place to look before contacting Telerik is the FORUMS but this is impossible with the way KendoUI forums use the search. It search ALL forums not just the current sub forum and pulls things back like Client Log-in pages etc.. The forum search needs to work more like the Main Telerik Forum site otherwise its impossible to use the forum unless you want to go through each forum page by page

The keno UI demos are geared towards just the client side. There is very little show how to do things with the server wrapper for MVC. It would also be nice to show the service code as well for things like the data source read, create, update and destroy events for widgets like the grid etc..

Here is a sample. http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing-custom.html
The demos shows the client side HTML version and if you choose the RAZOR syntax it is a completely different code than what is in the demo above.

The lack of documentation makes it very frustrating to use the KendoUI. New features are great but if there isn't adequate documentation to support how to implement then many features will go unused.

I hope you guys will take a serious look at the KendoUI Demo and documentation and consider making it an immediate priority to address.
