Hybrid Switch HtmlHelper Overview
The hybrid Telerik UI Switch HtmlHelper for ASP.NET MVC is a server-side wrapper for the hybrid Kendo UI Switch widget.
The Switch displays two exclusive choices.
Basic Configuration
- Create a new ASP.NET MVC 5 application. If you have installed the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Visual Studio Extensions, create a Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC application. If you decide not to use the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Visual Studio Extensions, follow the steps from the introductory article to add Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC to the application.
-
Open
HomeController.cs
and modify theIndex
action method.public ActionResult Index() { ViewBag.Message = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!"; return View(); }
-
Add a hybrid Telerik UI Switch to the
Index
view. Like most hybrid controls, the Switch must be initialized within the hybrid View content.@(Html.Kendo().MobileView() .Name("switch-view") .Title("Inbox") .Content( @<text> @(Html.Kendo().MobileSwitch() .Name("subscription-switch") .Checked(true) .OnLabel("YES") .OffLabel("NO") ) </text>) )
-
Initialize the mobile application.
@(Html.Kendo().MobileApplication() .ServerNavigation(true) )
Build and run the application.
Events
You can subscribe to all hybrid Switch events.
The following example demonstrates how to subscribe to events by a handler name.
@(Html.Kendo().MobileSwitch()
.Name("mobile-switch")
.Events(events => events.Change("onChange"))
)
<script>
function onChange() {
// Handle the change event.
}
</script>
Referencing Existing Instances
You can reference a hybrid Switch instance by using the jQuery.data()
method and the value specified through the Name()
method. Once a reference is established, use the hybrid Switch client-side API to control its behavior.
@(Html.Kendo().MobileSwitch()
.Name("subscription-switch")
.Checked(true)
.OnLabel("YES")
.OffLabel("NO")
)
<script>
$(function() {
// The Name() of the Switch is used to get its client-side instance.
var switch = $("#subscription-switch").data("kendoMobileSwitch");
});
</script>
