It would be convenient if you could specify the output format using a data attribute such as the following rather than having to write a new viewmodel function:
 
<span data-format="{0:C}" data-bind="text: amount"></span>

Currently you have to bind the element to a new viewmodel function which doesn't lend itself to the observable concept with remote data sources.

There are a couple of basic controls which I'm missing in Kendo UI WEB for example:
- Rating
- Carousel
- Progress Bar
- Image Cropper
- etc.

Please have a look at this non-commercial framework: http://www.alloyui.com

Please provide first class Visual Studio IntelliSense support for easy development without the need of constantly looking up documentation or including "vsdoc" files like jQuery does.

Hi,

The combobox and autocomplete are ok - but I think the usability and functionality could be dramatically be improved with better filtering, support for option groups and support for multi-select.

Can you please enhance the these controls to behave more like the Chosen dropdown control?

I've been trying to use these great UI widgets in PHP update forms and the lack of documentation on how to use the datasource and widgets together in PHP forms is incredibly frustrating. Seems like it would be a very small job for one of the kendo gurus to come up with the following and add it to the examples and/or documentation:

Update forms:
In update forms you need to initialize the widget(dropdowns, comboboxes, etc...) with the value of the column in the database and provide the list of options to choose from to edit the data. I assume there is a way to do this using the datasource but there is zero documentation on this. Please provide a simple example with a standard php update form with the widgets pulling the form data from a simple query based on a selected id, just like every standard php form on the web, with clear code showing us how to configure the widgets so that they contain the data from the db when initialized and providing the list of options via the widgets dedicated datasource.

This is very simple stuff and should take one of your junior techs 10 minutes and would make some of us very happy.

Thanks!

It would be nice to have a built in PDF viewer control in the Kendo UI and Kendo UI Mobile. Especially Mobile so we do not have to search the net for decent controls that may or may not work for the different devices.

 For example the grid with filtering turned on appends multiple div and form elements to the body element. It is impossible to clean these up which is very important in a single page application. Every widget should have a destroy method which is capable of removing any associated events and elements it was responsible for creating.

To support various language,
I think KendoUI need language pack system.

Current globalization supports only currency, number format and few label for calendar.

It's so hard to change default english label for buttons and messages.
Sometimes, It's hardcoded in kendo.js file.

It's much better to handle such things in one language file.
Not with individual configuration.

Please do for PHP devs what you've done for .Net devs in the Q2 release! 

handle RTL support in this awesome package. We really need such feature for using this library in our RTL-Language-Based Clients' projects.

A gantt chart would be a nice addition to the too lset.

Simple edit like <input type="text" but with full support of skins and Mask. With this the current date piker and roadmap numeric input you gave a full control scheme with all the skins applied.

Hi !   I was trying to create a scheduler using Kendo Scheduler. It seems that there is no way for me to create a timeline view like Telerik

I like the Wpf/Silverlight version. But it should be possible in HTML also: Telerik has in the ASP.NET for Ajax a RadDock. Can we have something like this sort of MDI interface in Kendo

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.

Currently in Kendo UI if a user sorts a grid column and leaves the page, when they come back the sorting has been reverted. I think there should be a way to automatically save the grids sorting state (potentially in cookies) so that when a user leaves the page and comes back, the state is how they left it.

Similar functionality to the jQuery UI sortable feature.

Ability to take over the default sort and do a custom sort on the grid. This will be really helpful for formatted columns that requires a separate sort logic. 

It would be nice if you could add a disabled state for k-button.  That way, we don't have to hide the buttons from the users to force them to enter some information before clicking a button.
