Hybrid ActionSheet HtmlHelper Overview

The hybrid Telerik UI ActionSheet HtmlHelper for ASP.NET MVC is a server-side wrapper for the hybrid Kendo UI ActionSheet widget.

The ActionSheet displays a set of choices related to a task the user initiates.

Basic Configuration

  1. Create a new ASP.NET MVC 5 application. If you have installed the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Visual Studio Extensions, create a Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC application. If you decide not to use the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Visual Studio Extensions, follow the steps from the introductory article to add Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC to the application.
  2. Open HomeController.cs and modify the Index action method.

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
    
  3. Add an ActionSheet to the Index view. Like most hybrid Telerik UI, the ActionSheet must be initialized within the hybrid View content.

    @(Html.Kendo().MobileView()
        .Name("actionsheet-view")
        .Title("Inbox")
        .Content(@<text>
            <!-- Add a button to open the actionsheet widget -->
            @(Html.Kendo().MobileButton()
                .Name("button")
                .Rel(MobileButtonRel.ActionSheet)
                .Text("Reply")
                .Url("#inboxActions")
            )
    
            @(Html.Kendo().MobileActionSheet()
                .Name("inboxActions")
                .Popup(popup => popup.Direction(MobilePopupDirection.Left))
                .Title("Monday Meeting:")
                .Items(items => {
                    items.Add().Text("Reply");
                    items.Add().Text("Reply All");
                    items.Add().Text("Archive");
                }))
        </text>)
    )
    
  4. Initialize the mobile application.

    @(Html.Kendo().MobileApplication() .ServerNavigation(true) )

  5. Build and run the application.

Events

You can subscribe to all hybrid ActionSheet events.

The following example demonstrates how to subscribe to events by a handler name.

@(Html.Kendo().MobileActionSheet()
    .Name("MobileActionSheet")
    .Items(items => {
        items.Add().Text("Reply").Action("replay");
    }))
    .Events(events => events
        .Open("onOpen")
    )
)

<script>
    function onOpen() {
        // Handle the open event.
    }

    function replay() {
        // Will execute when item with `Reply` title is clicked.
    }
</script>

Referencing Existing Instances

You can reference a hybrid ActionSheet instance by using the code from the following example. Once a reference is established, use the hybrid ActionSheet client-side API to control its behavior.

@(Html.Kendo().MobileActionSheet()
    .Name("inboxActions")
    .Popup(popup => popup.Direction(MobilePopupDirection.Left))
    .Title("Monday Meeting:")
    .Items(items => {
        items.Add().Text("Reply");
        items.Add().Text("Reply All");
        items.Add().Text("Archive");
    }))
<script>
    $(function() {
        // The Name() of the ActionSheet is used to get its client-side instance.
        var actionsheet = $("#inboxActions").data("kendoMobileActionSheet");
    });
</script>
