Getting Started

jqxButton represents a Button UI component. It can easily be used to display a regular button, button with text and image or a button with image. jqxToggleButton represents a button with two states - checked and unchecked. jqxRepeatButton represents a button tag helper which raises repeating click events when you click on it.

Every UI Component from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

Include all required javascript and css files

jqxButton requires the following files:

• CSS

• jqx.base.css

• Javascript

• jqxcore.js
• jqxbuttons.js

The next step is to create html element within the body of the html document and add the initialization attributes.

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<jqx-button disabled="true">Button</jqx-button>

To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxBulletChart’s instance.

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<jqx-toggle-button instance="getInstance()">Button</jqx-toggle-button>
							
@section scripts {								
<script type="text/javascript">									
	function getInstance(instance) {									
		instance["unCheck"]();									
	}									
</script>									
}

To bind to an event of a UI widget, you can use on-event-type syntax. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to an event.

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<jqx-button on-click="eventHandler()">Button</jqx-button>
							
@section scripts {								
<script type="text/javascript">									
	function eventHandler(event) {									
	}									
</script>									
}
