Preserving the ButtonGroup View for Mobile Rendering in Scheduler

Environment

Product Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Scheduler
Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC version Created with the 2023.3.1114 version

Description

How can I prevent the transmutation from a ButtonGroup to a DropDownList for different screen sizes when working with the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Scheduler with Adaptive Rendering ?

Solution

Follow the steps below to achieve the desired scenario:

  1. Create a variable that will hold the DOM representation of the ButtonGroup. Which will contain the day, month, agenda, and week, timeline, and year buttons.
  2. Subscribe to the document.ready() event.
  3. Within the handler, replace the transformed DropDownList element by using the replaceWith() method.
  4. From there, add a click handler to each of the buttons from the previously created ButtonGroup. And based on an assertion, call the client-side view() method of the Scheduler with the appropriate view name.
  5. To change a given button's state upon selection, add the k-selected state class.
  6. Subscribe to the window.resize event and replace the transformed DropDownList when the view dimensions are changed.
