How to use the kendo-ui menu control with angular 2? - kendo-ui-angular2

Looking at the list of Kendo UI controls for Angular 2 here, it seems that the Kendo UI menu control is not yet supported with Angular 2. Will it be supported in the future? If yes when? This is an essential navigation component, I would have thought that it would be supported early in the Angular 2 releases.
Thanks!

Tabulator and Polymer 3

has anyone tried using Tabulator in a Polymer 3 project?
Polymer is not supported by Tabulator but maybe someone has tried to integrate it.
Thanks
Tabulator is a vanilla JS library, as such it will work in any JavaScript Frontend Framework without issue.
The supported frameworks list on the website simply demonstrates how to set it up with those frameworks. If you follow the standard Quickstart Guide you should be up and running in no time.
With most frameworks it is simply a matter of passing a reference to the div created by the framework into the first argument of the constructor instead of the CSS selector string.
You would normally need to instantiate Tabulator after the render phase of your particular framework.
If you do get something setup then please submit some simple demo code as an issue on the Tabulator Git Repo and i can add it to the website to help others
The Framework Documentation includes several examples of setting up Tabulator in a frontend framework that should give you some pointers on how to address the issue.

google-cast CAF cast button customization

Any Idea how to customise the cast button that CAF provides?
Customisation that currently exists is only design based and not on a functional basis. What I am looking for is if I could assign these cast functions to be performed on any button. Is it possible?
I wanted to use that button in a cross-platform library and expose its onPress function so developers can actually design the button they want and have the functionality served to them via the library.
it is possible for the google cast iOS SDK version 2 and 4. The latest version is v4.3.2. If you are using the latest version, you cannot implement that and you can only change the tint color. In SDK version 2 or 3 you can set image in your UIButton.

Controlling Application Insights javascript injection

The Application Insights extensions in Visual Studio and Azure appear to inject the javascript snippet for page view tracking automatically, even though the docs say you enable this with an Application Setting key "APPINSIGHTS_JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED" = true.
Other docs show how to add the same javascript in my layout view, which I did. As a result I'm now seeing the AI javascript twice, once from my view, once from the AI magic. I'd prefer to control this myself -- how can I prevent the tooling from modifying the pages to inject the script? Setting APPINSIGHTS_JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED to false doesn't seem to work.
I'm working in an ASP.NET Core 2.0 web application.
Try upgrading to the lastest version of Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore. They released a new version (2.2.0) today, which resolved the problem for me! The javascript part is not added automatically anymore!

TreeList for Angular 2

Do you have plans for a Treelist widget for Angular 2. If yes, what is the ETA on such a widget? In the meantime is there a workaround to use the existing TreeList within an angular application?
Regards
Desmond
TreeList (and the other high-level components) are scheduled for 2017. Further details are available in the Kendo UI for Angular 2 Roadmap.
There are several known ways to make the current jQuery widgets run in Angular 2. None of them seems suitable for more complex scenarios, though, so I can't recommend going into this direction.
You can use my own implement tree component for angular2+. It support a large tree, lazy loading and virtual scrolling

Is it possible to migrate a MonoCross application incrementally to MvvmCross?

The team I'm on created a cross-platform application that runs on iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile that was created using Xamarin's tools and MonoCross. We're looking at MvvmCross as a possible MonoCross replacement but don't want to write the application from scratch.
Does anyone have experience with or thoughts on migrating a Xamarin/MonoCross cross-platform application to Xamarin/MvvmCross? Is it possible for the two frameworks to coexist in the same app (the ideal solution would have us migrate the app one screen at a time).
Thanks in advance.
Following Stuart's advice below I confirmed that it is possible to integrate MvvmCross into an existing MonoCross application.
In the original code a selection on View 1 initiates a call to Controller 2 using MonoCross URI navigation. Controller 2 displays View 2, passing it the data from Model 2.
Following the example in this video I created an MvvmCross View and ViewModel. A selection on View 1 still navigates to Controller 2 but Controller 2 now displays the new MvvmCross View 2. View 2 is data bound to ViewModel 2 which takes over Controller 2's functions of getting the Model data.
I don't know of anyone who's done this recently, but I originally ported several of the MonoCross samples over when I first created MvvmCross. The overall idea of one page to one "ViewModel" stays the same, although the mvvm binding offers more continuous view-viewmodel interactions than the more discrete Controller-Action model.
At a practical level:
MvvmCross itself is very modular and can be used in "CrossLight" mode where it simply provides data-binding and plugins - see CrossLight in http://mvvmcross.wordpress.com/. You might be able to use this for migrating pages one-by-one
MonoCross isn't really very interface/IoC based - so you may find that your resulting MvvmCross migration would also not be interface based either
MonoCross apps tend to use file-linking and #defines rather than PCLs - so you may find it easier to not use PCLs in MvvmCross
I suspect the best option for this migration is to let your team experiment - they already have lots of knowledge about your app and about what they do and don't need and what benefits they do and don't get from a framework.
