MVVM and masked input - kendo-ui

There is no masked input control in KendoUI framework. But I need to have a mask input capabilities for textboxes as well as for datepicker.
The application mostly based on MVVM with Kendo Templates. So I need a solution compatible with it.
What is the best way to go with our problem? Currently i'm looking at several solutions:
Have a custom widget (as kendo plugin) that is connected with jquery.inputmask plugin.
Have a custom binding that connects a widget and jquery.inputmask plugin
Invoke a jQuery code $(..).input. The problem with this approach that it hard to get it invoked after template is rendered

Basically I the cleanest solution I can suggest you is to create custom Widget or extend one of the existing.
Take a look at the the following example we created - it demonstrates how to extend the datepicker widget custom logic:

A part from this please notice there is some malfunctioning when a value is selected from the date picker.

Is it possible to use Kendo UI FX with MVVM binding?

I'm currently using two-way binding to control the visibility of a DIV based on a boolean in my view model. Instead of merely setting it as visible or hidden, I would like it to expand or contract via the the "expand" effect.
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/effects/expand
I don't see any way to bind this via MVVM. Has anyone managed to do this?
Thanks
Following is the given link from where I got help for my issue.

Kendo ui datagrid

I am just trying to use keno ui into my project. But Kendo is new to me. So I am not sure how to proper use it. Some of the widgets like dialog window, datepicker, timepicker etc. are easy to use but I am having problem with datagird. Could anybody let me know how can we use datagrid widget server databound and xml as datatype. Please give me little bit give me an example. If possible. Let me know how xml file will look. How can we get page number, number of rows on the server side. I am using asp.net with c# as server side language.
Is there a reason why you want to bind to an xml file? Generally speaking you should be using JSON for the dataSource. For an example of using an xml datasource have you looked at this:
Binding to xml DataSource
If you haven't used these before and have access to the MVC Wrappers then I would suggest looking at this demo as a good starting place for the Grid:
Kendo Grid bound to local data
Kendo Grid bound to remote data
If you use the demo from the first example and apply it to the "local data" example this should get you going. If you get stuck please provide some code showing what you have tried and any issues you are faced with.

Kendo UI Mobile ListView filter

I've been using kendo for quite some time but there is a issue that I'm facing using kendo filter in kendo list view. I am developing a SPA using kendo UI. In one of the views I've implemented kendo filter using http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/mobile-listview/filtering link. The filter works fine on writing any input but when I re navigate to that view again it displays two filters. What can be the issue. Thanks
To solve this, make sure you render the kendo mobile listView only once. If not, kendoMobileListView() will add another input each time you'll use
$("#list").kendoMobileListView() .
If you have to render the listView on pageShow event, make sure you remove additionnal filter inputs with:
$("#your-view form:not(:first)").remove();
Hope it helps

Creating Forms Dynamically in Kendo UI Mobile

I need to create forms dynamically in which the required field parameters will come from the backend. I will use input, dropdown and switch as form elements.
Is there a kendo specific easy way to generate these forms like kendo is doing in listview using template and datasource?
You probably want to check our MVVM framework for this. And some demos.

KendoGrid with in a new custom kendo ui widget

Please guide me how to make a custom kendo ui widget, like if you could refer to some tutorial or anything. Secondly the main question is that I want to use kendo grid to consume webapi and i want to use it in a widget in which and pass the datasource to this widget.
Bascially I want to make a widget which will consume the webapi using a particular url, and which will return a data source that I can add to this kendogrid widget.
Googling a little I just found:
Creating Custom Kendo UI Plugins
Creating a DataSource Aware Kendo UI Widget
Inheriting From Custom Widgets
Creating A Kendo UI MVVM Widget
I think that any and all this blogs should help you (I've written several widget and I found here all I needed).
In addition to #Emiliano's links, the Kendo Music Store demo app also contains a custom Widget bound to a DataSource that you can look at as an example:
Live demo site: http://www.kendouimusicstore.com/
Source code: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-music-store
Custom Widget source: MvcMusicStore/Scripts/App/kendo-cart-menu-widget.js
Documentation for this custom widget: http://docs.kendoui.com/tutorials/ASP.NET/Kendo%20Music%20Store/Music%20Store%20Web/kendo-music-store-web-cart-menu-widget
If you are going to use WebAPI, you will probably want to read this (The Facts On Using Kendo UI With ASP.NET WebAPI) first.
"Use WebApi" is a very broad statement, and narrowing down your approach would be the first step.
