Getting Started

jqxDateTimeInput represents a DateTimeInput UI component which represents an input field with drop-down calendar with selectable dates.

Every ASP .NET Core Mvc Tag Helper from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

Include all required javascript and css files

jqxDateTimeInput requires the following files:

• CSS

• jqx.base.css

• Javascript

• jqxcore.js
• globalize.js
• jqxcalendar.js
• jqxdatetimeinput.js

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

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxcalendar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdatetimeinput.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/globalization/globalize.js"></script>
@{
    DateTime date = new DateTime(2017, 9, 20);
    DateTime min = new DateTime(2002, 9, 20);
    DateTime max = new DateTime(2018, 9, 20);
}
<jqx-date-time-input animation-type="fade" width="250" height="30"></jqx-date-time-input>

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

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxcalendar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdatetimeinput.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/globalization/globalize.js"></script>
@{
    DateTime date = new DateTime(2017, 9, 20);
    DateTime min = new DateTime(2002, 9, 20);
    DateTime max = new DateTime(2018, 9, 20);
}
<jqx-date-time-input width="250" height="30" instance="getInstance()"></jqx-date-time-input>
							
@section scripts {								
<script type="text/javascript">									
	function getInstance(instance) {									
		instance["open"]();									
	}									
</script>									
}

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

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxcalendar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdatetimeinput.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/globalization/globalize.js"></script>
@{
    DateTime date = new DateTime(2017, 9, 20);
    DateTime min = new DateTime(2002, 9, 20);
    DateTime max = new DateTime(2018, 9, 20);
}
<jqx-date-time-input on-change="eventHandler()"></jqx-date-time-input>
							
@section scripts {								
<script type="text/javascript">									
	function eventHandler(event) {									
	}									
</script>									
}
