The KendoUI ListView control does not expose a more direct way to work with selected items. That's because the ListView selection relies only on DOM elements [...]. As a result, the Knockout-Kendo binding also does not have this functionality.
I needed my ListView controls to be able to do basic things: show items and select them. In a KnockoutJS-KendoUI-KnockoutKendo context, this translates into a custom binding.
Right now is not so smart, it only supports
- selected items
- KO templates
but it can easily be extended/modified. I'll do it if I'll find time. Check the index.html to see it in action.
This is a KnockoutJS binding that extends the Knockout-Kendo binding of a Kendo UI ListView control. Check the Knockout-Kendo requirements section for more information.
Just download the ZIP, extract it and open the index.html in your favorite browser.
I hope it helps, at least by making an idea of what needs to be done in order to achieve the required result.
