Action Buttons
The Dialog action buttons allow you to provide specific interaction to users.
Each defined button has a text and an action handler attached to it. By default, the action buttons close the Dialog, but you can prevent the Dialog from closing by setting the respective action handler to return false.
@(Html.Kendo().Dialog()
.Name("dialog")
.Title("Software Update")
...
{
actions.Add().Text("Ok");
actions.Add().Text("Cancel").Action("onCancel");
})
)
<script type="text/javascript">
function onCancel(e) {
alert("Cancel action was clicked");
return false; // Returning false will prevent the closing of the Dialog.
}
</script>
The order of the values in the Actions() configuration method determines the order in which the action buttons are rendered in the Dialog. You can also define a button as Primary(true).
The following example demonstrates how to set three action buttons in a Dialog with a stretched layout. The last button has an Action() event handler attached and is set as Primary(true).
@(Html.Kendo().Dialog()
.Name("dialog")
.Title("Software Update")
.Content("<p>A new version of <strong>Kendo UI</strong> is available. Would you like to download and install it now?<p>")
.Width(400)
.Modal(false)
.ButtonLayout("stretched")
.Actions(actions =>
{
actions.Add().Text("Skip this version");
actions.Add().Text("Remind me later");
actions.Add().Text("Install update").Primary(true).Action("onInstall");
})
)
<script type="text/javascript">
function onInstall(e) {
alert("Install update action was clicked");
// Returning false will prevent the closing of the dialog.
return true;
}
</script>
