Default State
You can configure a default state of the Telerik UI ExpansionPanel for ASP.NET MVC by using the Disabled, Expanded, Toggleable and Animation properties.
Disabled State
To disable the component and prevent the user to expand or collapse the panel, set the Disabled property to true.
@(Html.Kendo().ExpansionPanel()
.Name("brazil")
.Title("Brazil")
.SubTitle("South America")
.Disabled(true)
.Content("The word 'Brazil' likely comes from the Portuguese word for brazilwood, a tree that once grew plentifully along the Brazilian coast. In Portuguese, brazilwood is called pau-brasil, with the word brasil commonly given the etymology 'red like an ember', formed from brasa ('ember') and the suffix -il (from -iculum or -ilium).")
)
Expanded State
The ExpansionPanel can be rendered in an expanded state by default. To configure this state, set the Expanded property to true.
@(Html.Kendo().ExpansionPanel()
.Name("brazil")
.Title("Brazil")
.SubTitle("South America")
.Expanded(true)
.Content("The word 'Brazil' likely comes from the Portuguese word for brazilwood, a tree that once grew plentifully along the Brazilian coast. In Portuguese, brazilwood is called pau-brasil, with the word brasil commonly given the etymology 'red like an ember', formed from brasa ('ember') and the suffix -il (from -iculum or -ilium).")
)
Toggleable State
By default, the user can expand or collapse the ExpansionPanel. To prevent this behavior, set the Toggleable property to false.
@(Html.Kendo().ExpansionPanel()
.Name("brazil")
.Title("Brazil")
.SubTitle("South America")
.Toggleable(false)
.Content("The word 'Brazil' likely comes from the Portuguese word for brazilwood, a tree that once grew plentifully along the Brazilian coast. In Portuguese, brazilwood is called pau-brasil, with the word brasil commonly given the etymology 'red like an ember', formed from brasa ('ember') and the suffix -il (from -iculum or -ilium).")
)
Animation State
You can disable the ExpansionPanel visual animations that appear when the user expands or collapses the panel by setting the Animation option to false.
@(Html.Kendo().ExpansionPanel()
.Name("brazil")
.Title("Brazil")
.SubTitle("South America")
.Animation(false)
.Content("The word 'Brazil' likely comes from the Portuguese word for brazilwood, a tree that once grew plentifully along the Brazilian coast. In Portuguese, brazilwood is called pau-brasil, with the word brasil commonly given the etymology 'red like an ember', formed from brasa ('ember') and the suffix -il (from -iculum or -ilium).")
)
