Kendo Angular multiselect set selected values

Question

I´m using Kendo multiselect with Angular-Kendo directives and with remote datasource. I´m trying to set the selected items when the application starts but with no luck. Can anyone please help me?

Answer 1

You can just make a custom directive, and pass in the items you want selected beforehand to the value attribute of the multiselect directive, have a look at this Plunk to see the directive I use.

Hey! Your custom directive has helped me a great deal. I forked it and edited it here (plnkr.co/edit/Z1E9FO8NAgpiSggSo3hY?p=info) I added a pop method to directly modify myItems. But -- when this is run, the change is not reflected in the multi-select. How could I modify the directive to account for that? – Gangrene

You have to hook into the on change event directive and send the kendoEvent. Then you can use the supported kendo methods on e.sender. Check it out on this plunker

    <select id="required" multiple="multiple"  kendo-multi-select k-on-change="changed(kendoEvent)">
        <option>Steven White</option>
        <option>Nancy King</option>
        <option>Nancy Davolio</option>
        <option>Robert Davolio</option>
        <option>Michael Leverling</option>
        <option>Andrew Callahan</option>
        <option>Michael Suyama</option>
        <option selected>Anne King</option>
        <option>Laura Peacock</option>
        <option>Robert Fuller</option>
        <option>Janet White</option>
        <option>Nancy Leverling</option>
        <option>Robert Buchanan</option>
        <option>Margaret Buchanan</option>
        <option selected>Andrew Fuller</option>
        <option>Anne Davolio</option>
        <option>Andrew Suyama</option>
        <option>Nige Buchanan</option>
        <option>Laura Fuller</option>
    </select>

    var app = angular.module('app', ['kendo.directives']); 

    app.controller("myCtrl", function ($compile, $scope) {

      $scope.changed = function(e) {
      console.log(e.sender.dataItems());
      };

    });

Change is fired when the value of the widget is changed by the user, not when it is initially loaded – Arthromere

I think initial onload you have read the data from db or related areas. – Opulent
