Really nice feature for the planned rich text editor would be to add a config option to show the toolbar only on focus/mouse over and possibly have it floated on top of the content so something similar to this could be achieved: http://www.formstack.com/assets/images/LandingPage_Step2.png
Do you have in your Road Map Mobile Charts or is the idea to use the DataViz charts?
Let Kendo work with KnockoutJS.
When initializing a WINDOW component, you should be able to specify where the window should be rendered. Currently all windows are treated as modals and placed before closing the BODY tag. This feature is vital and also will help developers in creating dashboards and custom tiles views.
I really like what you've done so far and I think you're very close to the top if not already there in terms of being an HTML5 UI leader. The one thing your data visualization set is missing is a map. A simple map to show chloropleth data, basic paths etc is well within your reach and would round out your DataViz offering.
Please consider implementing a Multiselect control similar to how this jQuery plugin, Chosen, works. Look at their Multiple select and Multiple select with <optgroup> examples: http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/
A flip animation when changing between views, links etc.
For an example, check the Yahoo weather app on iOS. Click (i) to add/remove/reorder locations. For another example, check the Yahoo stocks app on iOS. Click (i) to add/remove/reorder stocks
Because better Documentation and Real World Solutions is in the planned phase, it would be nice if you created a forum specifically for the current users to post their own project code and examples under kendo UI Web. This forum would be a good place for people to search for real help when the current demos fall short. Your current forum structure wouldn't allow for posting anywhere but in General Discussions. The code would be lost in all the discussion posts if the examples are a mix of widgets, they don't pertain to a specific widget.. Speaking for myself and the rest of the user community, we would be more than happy to upload the work we have been doing.
Create RichTextEditor Widget which is integral part of all content management systems. Also, it would by nice to create checkbox widget.
I'm following the launch of Kendo UI closely. IMHO what Kendo has to do right now is post a demo of a medium sized web app (>20 screens) showing us how to integrate al the pages eg via the menu widget. The To-Do-List sample app is learning us nothing. 2 years ago, I've bought, studied, tested, flamed, ... ExtJs and never got to the point of building a decent web app. This was THE MAJOR complaint of the ExtJs newsgroups. They have a lot of small widget demos but how do we integrate them into a medium sized app eg a webshop. So, Kendo UI, please don't make the same mistake. Show us a medium sized web app with all the widgets and - most important - how they interact with each other. regards Patrick De Laet patrick@fijisoft.be
Once a theme is created and the css/less code is grabbed, the only way to easily and visually modify the theme later is to input all the old values back into the themebuilder. It would be nice if there was a way to easily get the values back into the themebuilder from a created theme. To take a page from jQuery UI, they stick a commented out URL into the theme's CSS that will automatically load the themeroller with all values filled out. This is extremely handy for modifying themes.
Provide us a way to initialize the nodes of a panelbar to expanded\collapsed during kendo initialization instead of after kendo renders it.
Or more flexible: Allow developers to handle user's click on a DataViz legend item. And provide the possibility to set/reset the visibility of a DataViz serie not only his opacity.
Maybe CSS3 can do more nice text,textarea,button, but in IE7&8, can not support border-radius,box-shadow,text-shadow, so we must use picture to do this. I want to all the form element seems the same in KendoUI support browsers. Just like: Uniform,Niceforms,Jquery FormOne,jqTransform,jNice and so on...
It looks like a Funnel chart type is one of the typically missing chart types from many html5 chart libs, currently. It's pretty useful and including it in dataWiz would give you a competitive edge towards other chart libs ;-)
My Team created a Dashboard Silverlight App built using Silverlight RadControls. So we have lots of chart types with cool features as drill down, gauges. Now, we are looking forward to move to HTML5 soon... in order to do that we need all this rich widgets ASAP in Kendo UI. Thanks!
Right now, editing in the grid seems to be on a per-cell basis. I would prefer a model where each row has an edit button, and when clicked, it would put the row into edit mode. A save / cancel button would then be available to validate and save or cancel the edit.
The minimize function does not work when added to a kendoWindow. A North pointing triangle is added to the title bar bu nothing happens when clicked. Also restricting the Maximize to the parent containier (DIV) as suggested by another user should be implemented soon.
I would really like a ProgressBar control. The reason why I want a progressbar control in kendo ui is so that the look and feel of my application is consistent throughout.
