Prevent the delete key from working on Kendo ListBox - kendo-ui

I'm using Kendo on Razor pages using MVVM. On a particular page I have a pair of ListBoxes. I want to stop users from deleting items from the boxes with the delete key.
If I trap and prevent the remove event from working, that solves the problem, except you can't then use the toolbox or drag and drop to transfer items from one box to the other (edit: because move is a combination of change & remove events).
This is how I was stopping the remove event...
<select style="min-width: 600px" id="listboxImports" data-role="listbox"
data-text-field="title"
data-value-field="id"
data-selectable="multiple"
data-toolbar='{tools: ["transferTo", "transferFrom"]}'
data-connect-with="listboxSelected"
data-draggable="true"
data-template="template"
data-drop-sources="['listboxSelected']"
data-bind="source: imports, events: {remove: viewmodel.events.remove}"></select>
<script>
var viewmodel = new kendo.observable({
events: {
remove: function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
},
//
}
});
<script/>
I've also tried to trap the delete key's keydown event, but I cannot identify which of the many elements rendered when the ListBox is rendered is actually handling the event.
Can anyone tell me how I can have my cake and eat it please?

Took ma a while, inspired by the same question for kendo's Multiselect: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/editors/multiselect/how-to/selection/prevent-removing-selected-items-on-backspace:
$("#listBoxA").parent().get(0).addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == kendo.keys.DELETE) {
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.preventDefault();
}
}, true)
Full dojo: https://dojo.telerik.com/aFaCIkez/3
The _keyDown handler is attached to the <ul> element. My solution attaches a new handler to its parent, using event capturing, so that handler will be executed before Kendo's, and thus stopping the event's propagation if the pressed key was delete.
Alternatively, a possible workaround is to set navigatable to false, but you obviously lose all keyboard functionality. Example: https://dojo.telerik.com/IHICAziR

Ajaxinate Endless scolling has stopped product Quick View from working

I am using Shopify "Streamline Theme" with quick product view and I recently added infinite scroll to products on each collection using Ajaxinate.js.
When I open a collection page it loads with some products which is supposed to do, The products already there work fine with quick view and quick add to cart and also.
The Infinite scroll works fine and it loads new product fine but the problem is raised when the new products loaded through AJAX call doesn't have work with the quick view function.
I have tried to create a callback function to activate the quick view with no success, using the theme initialisation code with no success.
function callBack(){
theme.init();
theme.initQuickShop();
};
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
var endlessClick = new Ajaxinate({
method: "scroll",
loadingText: 'Loading...',
callback: callBack
});
});
Edit -------
My problem, is that when the page is loaded only the initial loaded products quickview elements are loaded in the DOM. When the scroll more button is clicked, the newly loaded products are loaded without their respective quickview elements. Hence why the quickview does't work for them. The theme.js file comes with this initialisation code:
theme.reinitProductGridItem = function($scope) {
if (AOS) {
AOS.refreshHard();
}
if (theme.settings.currenciesEnabled) {
theme.currencySwitcher.ajaxrefresh();
}
// Reload quick shop buttons
theme.initQuickShop(true);
// Refresh reviews app
if (window.SPR) {
SPR.initDomEls();SPR.loadBadges();
}
// Re-register product templates in quick view modals.
// Will not double-register.
sections.register('product-template', theme.Product, $scope);
// Re-hook up collapsible box triggers
theme.collapsibles.init();
};
I have tried to integrate this into a callback but no success, the quickview modal doesn't seem to load for the newly loaded products:
function callBack(){
ReloadSmartWishlist();
var $container = $('#CollectionSection');
theme.reinitProductGridItem($container);
// I have tried the following init qith no success:
// theme.init();
// theme.initQuickShop(true);
// theme.initQuickShop();
// sections.register('product-template', theme.Product, $container);
// AOS.refreshHard();
};
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
var endlessClick = new Ajaxinate({
method: "click",
loadingText: 'Loading...',
offset: 0,
callback: callBack
});
});
I am missing something but what? :/
Note for other things like loading products images with the callback and the wishlist app, it works as intended...
When you load elements via AJAX and if the events are not attached to a parent element that is not removed from the DOM, those elements will not have an attached event to them.
The term used here is event delegation.
Here is an example of non-delegated event:
document.querySelectorAll('a').addEventListener('click', function(){
// Do something
})
Since you are attaching the event to the existing "a" elements if you add new 'a' via AJAX those elements will not have the event since Javascript already attached all the events and it will not reattach them if you don't specifically recall them again.
Here is an example of a delegated event:
document.querySelector('body').addEventListener('click', function(target){
let target = event.target;
if (target.tagName === 'A'){
// Do something here
}
})
Where we attach the event to the body tag ( where it's a better idea to attach it to a closer none-modified parent element of the ajax items ) and once we click we check if our target tag is an "a" and do something then.
So long story short, you will need to delegate the quick cart link so that it works after you load the items via AJAX.
Drip is correct you need to delegate your event, but for people like me it's hard to completely understand how to do that.
I'm not sure how your quickview is structured, but if you open it with a .click function and can use jquery use the [.on() function][1].
For example: I use a quickview that opens on a button click. My button is attached to my product-grid-item.liquid with this bit of code:
<div class="quick-view-button">
<a class="quick-view" data-handle="{{ product.handle }}" href="javascript:void(0);">Quick View</a>
</div>
My quickview function originally looked like this:
function quickView() {
$(".quick-view").click(function () {
//all of the quickview code
What happens is exactly like you described. The event listeners only loaded on the first product load but nothing after an AJAX load.
Using jquery's .on() binds the event listener to the element meaning when it's loaded in later it'll still have the event. Here's an example of what my code looks like after using .on()
function quickView() {
$('body').on('click','.quick-view',function(){
I really hope this helps you or someone else with this problem.

Kendo Scheduler prevent editing/destruction of certain events

I've created a Kendo Scheduler that binds to a remote data source. The remote datasource is actually a combination of two separate data sources. This part is working okay.
Question is... is there any way to prevent certain events from being destroyed?
I've stopped other forms of editing by checking a certain field in the event's properties and calling e.preventDefault() on the edit, moveStart and resizeStart events if it should be read-only. This works fine, but I can't prevent deletes.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Just capture the remove event and process it as you have with the edit, moveStart, and reviseStart events. You should see a remove event option off the kendo scheduler. I can see it and capture it in version 2013.3.1119.340.
I think better way is to prevent user from going to remove event in the first place. Handling the remove event still has its validity as you can delete event for example by pressing "Delete" key).
In example below I'm assuming event has custom property called category and events with category equal to "Holiday" can't be deleted.
remove: function(e)
{
var event = e.event;
if (event.category === "Holiday")
{
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
}
},
dataBound: function(e)
{
var scheduler = e.sender;
$(".k-event").each(function() {
var uid = $(this).data("uid");
var event = scheduler.occurrenceByUid(uid);
if (event.category === "Holiday")
{
// use .k-event-delete,.k-resize-handle if you want to prevent also resizing
$(this).find(".k-event-delete").hide();
}
});
},
edit: function (e) {
var event = e.event;
if (event.category === "Holiday")
{
e.container.find(".k-scheduler-delete").hide();
}
}
FYI, you can do this...
#(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<ScheduledEventViewModel>()
.Name("scheduler")
.Editable(e => e.Confirmation(false))
)
which will deactivate the default confirmation prompt for the scheduler. Then you can do your own prompt on items you want.
There is also a
.Editable(e => e.Destroy(false))
that you can do to remove the X on the event window. This particular example would remove it for all of the events, but there might be a way to remove it for specific ones.

Slickgrid - Lost focus to end edit

When editing my grid, if I click outside the grid, the box I was editing is still editable. How do I get the edited cell to "complete" the edit when it looses focus?
The following code will save the current edit.
Slick.GlobalEditorLock.commitCurrentEdit();
You'll need to place this inside an event handler that you think should trigger the save. For example, if you're using the sample text editor plugin, I believe an editor-text CSS class is added to the input field that's created when you're editing a cell so something like this should work:
$('#myGrid').on('blur', 'input.editor-text', function() {
Slick.GlobalEditorLock.commitCurrentEdit();
});
I found that I needed to wrap clav's handler in a timeout:
$("#myGrid").on('blur', 'input.editor-text', function() {
window.setTimeout(function() {
if (Slick.GlobalEditorLock.isActive())
Slick.GlobalEditorLock.commitCurrentEdit();
});
});
to avoid errors like:
Uncaught NotFoundError: An attempt was made to reference a Node in a context where it does not exist.
when using the keyboard to navigate. Presumably the new blur handler fires before SlickGrid can do its own handling and this causes problems.
Unfortunately, probably due to differences in event processing, Grame's version breaks keyboard navigation in chrome.
To fix this, I added another check to only commit the edit, if the newly focused element is not another editor element within the grid (as the result of keyboard navigation):
$('#grid').on('blur.editorFocusLost', 'input.editor-text', function() {
window.setTimeout(function() {
var focusedEditor = $("#grid :focus");
if (focusedEditor.length == 0 && Slick.GlobalEditorLock.isActive()) {
Slick.GlobalEditorLock.commitCurrentEdit();
}
});
});
This seems to work in current versions of firefox, chrome and ie.

backbone.js click and blur events

I'm having some trouble with blur and click events in backbone. I have a view (code below) that creates a little search entry div with a button. I pop open this div and put focus on the entry field. If someone clicks off (blur) I notify a parent view to close this one. If they click on the button I'll initiate a search.
The blur behavior works fine, however when I click on the button I also get a blur event and can't get the click event. Have I got this structured right?
BTW, some other posts have suggested things like adding timers to the div in case its being closed before the click event fires. I can comment out the close completely and still only get the blur event. Do these only fire one at a time on some kind of first-com-first-served basis?
PB_SearchEntryView = Backbone.View.extend({
template: _.template("<div id='searchEntry' class='searchEntry'><input id='part'></input><button id='findit'>Search</button></div>"),
events: {
"click button": "find",
"blur #part": "close"
},
initialize: function(args) {
this.dad = args.dad;
},
render: function(){
$(this.el).html(this.template());
return this;
},
close: function(event){ this.dad.close(); },
find: function() {
alert("Find!");
}
});
I am not sure what the problem was, but here is the jsbin code.

Telerik MVC Grid Delete operation

i would like to ask how i can intercept the ajax delete functionality of a grid using ajax binding? specifically, up to the point wherein, after i click on delete, as the confirm prompt pops up, i would like to do something based on the user's choice,
basically, if OK, do this, if CANCEL do that..
You need to use the OnRowDataBound and attach a click handler to the delete button. Then you can display custom confirmation and decide what to do. If you want' to prevent the grid deletion code - call e.stopPropagation(). Here is a quick sample:
<%: Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
// Prevent the grid from displaying the default delete confirmation
.Editable(editing => editing.DisplayDeleteConfirmation(false))
// Subscribe to the OnRowDataBound event
.ClientEvents(e => e.OnRowDataBound("onRowDataBound"))
%>
<script>
function onRowDataBound(e) {
$(e.row) // get the current table row (TR) as a jQuery object
.find(".t-grid-delete") // find the delete button in that row
.click(function(e) { // handle its "click" event
if (confirm("Do you want to delete this record?")) {
// User clicked "OK"
} else {
// User clicked "Cancel"
e.stopPropagation(); // prevent the grid deletion code from executing.
}
});
}
</script>
The demo page seems to contain an example of what you are looking for.
