Kendo Upload upgrade(MVC) - OnUploadSelect code change

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22907529

Question

With the older version of telerik, we had a snippet of code to find the number of childnodes as given below

function onUploadSelect(ev) {
var numberOfFiles;
if (ev.target.childNodes[1] != undefined && ev.target.childNodes[1] != null) {
    numberOfFiles = ev.target.childNodes[1].childNodes.length;
}
if ((numberOfFiles + ev.files.length) > 4) { 
//some custom validation error msgs being thrown
}
}

the basic logic of this code is to prevent uploading more than 4 files, Ex - i select 2 files,dont click on upload instead select a file again and then click on upload, I'm good(2+1<4) With the KEndo Uplaod, ev.target is undefined, can you suggest a possible alternative for this?

Thanks Adarsh

                $(document).ready(function() {

               alert("Please select max 4 files.");
               e.preventDefault();
            }
                else {
               var existingfileCount = $(".demo-section li").length;
               if((e.files.length + existingfileCount) > 4)  
               {
                   alert("You can not upload more than 4 files");
                   e.preventDefault();
                   }

                }
                }
</script>
</body>
</html>

Kendo-MVC

Javascript

<script>
             function onSelect(e) {
                    if (e.files.length > 4) {
               alert("Please select max 4 files.");
               e.preventDefault();
            }
                else {
               var existingfileCount = $(".demo-section li").length;
               if((e.files.length + existingfileCount) > 4)  
               {
                   alert("You can not upload more than 4 files");
                   e.preventDefault();
                   }

                }
                }
</script>

View.cshtml

<div class="demo-section">
        @(Html.Kendo().Upload()
            .Name("files")
            .Events(events => events.Select("onSelect"))
        )
</div>

Note : I have used 'demo-section' class to simplyfy the code. If you want to rename this class then rename this class in html/cshtml and javascript.

Let me know if any concern.

OTHER TIPS

Hi this is what you want ,

function onSelect(e) {
  var ct = $('#Count').val();
  if (e.files.length > 4) {
   alert("Please select max 4 files.");
   e.preventDefault();
  }
  else {
   ct= parseInt(ct == "" ? 0 : ct);
   $('#Count').val(ct + e.files.length);
  }
}

@Html.Hidden("Count")

to restrict user to not upload more then 4 file. If i understand right.
