kendo ui - override k-animation-container style for one dropdown only - kendo-ui

Question

I use kendo-ui dropdown.
I add some ovveriding-css, and it works well.
.k-animation-container {
//this is popup that is html is rendered out of the page element
//so it cannot be selected by id / panaya class / panaya element
.k-popup.k-list-container {
.k-item,
.k-item.k-state-selected,
.k-item.k-state-focused {
background-color: transparent;
color: $darken-gray-color;
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 0;
}
}
}
The problem is, that while each dropdown has other input element instance, the list has one instance that is hidden and when you click any combo - is shown near the currently clicked combo.
What say - when you ovveride the list-container style - dows it for all of the combooxes.
Is there any solution for this issue?

Answer 1

Well this is a known problem, for every popup kendo renders independent div with class k-animation-container
You can try with this solution suggested on telerik forum:
k-animation-container
$("#spreadsheet").on("click", ".k-spreadsheet-editor-button", function(e) {
var animationContainer = $(".k-animation-container").last();
// use some custom conditional statement that will determine if this is the correct list popup, e.g. check what's inside the popup
if (true) {
animationContainer.children(".k-popup").css("min-width", 200);
}
});
Didn't try it my self, gl.

One solution I found was to use
popup: {
appendTo: $(some parent with ID)
}
This way we can manipulate styling of that particular .k-animation-container.
But this doesn't work on every widget, unfortunately.

My team find a great solution:
There is an option to give the input-element custom id.
Then you can select the list-container by the custom id you gave +'list' str.
Now, if you want to get the k-animation-container, you can select the list element and then request its parent.
Code sample:
The input element:
<span
kendo-multi-select
id="my-type-dd"
k-options="$ctrl.getVMultySelectConfig()"
k-ng-model="$ctrl.selectedTypes"
></span>
Selectors:
If you need only the k-list-container and not must the k-animation-container, you can do that by css:
.k-animation-container #my-type-dd-list {
//this is popup that is html is rendered out of the page element
//the id is the id you give to the element + '-list'
&.k-popup.k-list-container {
padding: $space-normal 0 $space-small $space-small;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
}
If you need the k-aniamation-container you need to select it by jQuery becouse css doesn't have parent selector:
var kAnimationElement = $("#my-type-dd-list").parent();
