Getting Started
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI Window.
Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.
Step 2 Create a new action method which renders the view.
@RequestMapping(value = {"index"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index() {
return "web/window/index";
}
Step 3 Add the Kendo UI taglib mapping to the page.
<%@taglib prefix="kendo" uri="https://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/jsp/tags"%>
Step 4 Add the window tag.
<kendo:window name="window" title="About us" draggable="true" resizable="true">
<kendo:window-content>
<img src="logo.png" alt="Our logo" />
<p>More content about us.</p>
</kendo:window-content>
</kendo:window>
Event Handling
Subscribe to Events
You can subscribe to all events exposed by Kendo UI Window by the handler name.
<kendo:window name="window" orientation="horizontal" open="window_open" close="window_close">
</kendo:window>
<script>
function window_expand() {
// Handle the expand event
}
function window_collapse() {
// Handle the collapse event
}
</script>
Reference
Existing Instances
You are able to reference an existing Window instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the Window API to control its behavior.
// Put this after your Kendo Window tag declaration
<script>
$(function() {
// Notice that the Name() of the window is used to get its client-side instance
var windowObject = $("#window").data("kendoWindow");
});
</script>
Asynchronous Loading
You are able to load views asynchronously through the content attribute.
The example below demonstrates how to load the contents of the Window by using an asynchronous call.
<c:url value="/web/window/content" var="remoteUrl" />
<kendo:window name="window" title="About us" content="${remoteUrl}" />
