Getting Started

jqxDocking represents a UI component with dockable windows.

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

jqxDocking requires the following files:

• CSS

• jqx.base.css

• Javascript

• jqxcore.js
• jqxwindow.js
• jqxbuttons.js
• jqxdocking.js

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

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdocking.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxwindow.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<jqx-docking cookies="true">
    <jqx-docking-panel>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 1.1</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 1.1</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 1.2</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 1.2</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
    </jqx-docking-panel>
    <jqx-docking-panel>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 2.1</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 2.1</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 2.2</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 2.2</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
    </jqx-docking-panel>
</jqx-docking>

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/jqxdocking.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxwindow.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<jqx-docking instance="getInstance()">
    <jqx-docking-panel>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 1.1</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 1.1</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 1.2</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 1.2</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
    </jqx-docking-panel>
    <jqx-docking-panel>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 2.1</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 2.1</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 2.2</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 2.2</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
    </jqx-docking-panel>
</jqx-docking>
							
@section scripts {								
<script type="text/javascript">									
	function getInstance(instance) {									
		instance["addWindow"]();									
	}									
</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/jqxdocking.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxwindow.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<jqx-docking on-drag-start="eventHandler()">
    <jqx-docking-panel>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 1.1</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 1.1</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 1.2</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 1.2</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
    </jqx-docking-panel>
    <jqx-docking-panel>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 2.1</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 2.1</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
        <jqx-docking-window>
            <jqx-docking-window-header>Title 2.2</jqx-docking-window-header>
            <jqx-docking-window-body><jqx-button>Content 2.2</jqx-button></jqx-docking-window-body>
        </jqx-docking-window>
    </jqx-docking-panel>
</jqx-docking>
