DropTargetArea Client-Side APIs

Get Client-Side Reference

DropTarget Markup Definition

<telerik:RadDropTargetArea runat="server" ID="RadDropTargetArea1">
</telerik:RadDropTargetArea>

JavaScript to Get Reference to RadDraggable

<script>
    function DropTargetAreaClientSideReference() {
        let dropTargetArea; // Client-Side Object
        let dropTargetAreaElement; // HTML element

        // Client-Side Object using $find()
        dropTargetArea = $find('<%= RadDropTargetArea1.ClientID%>');

        // Client-Side Object using $telerik.findControl()
        dropTargetArea = $telerik.findControl(document, "RadDropTargetArea1");

        // If using jQuery, or just JavaScript to find the Element itself, there are two steps to get client-side reference

        // Step 1: Get the HTML element

        // Find the element using $get()
        dropTargetAreaElement = $get('<%= RadDropTargetArea1.ClientID%>');

        // Find the element using jQuery.
        // Note that "$telerik.$()" is the same as "$()" or "jQuery()"
        dropTargetAreaElement = $telerik.$('[id$=RadDropTargetArea1]')[0]; // same as $('[id$=RadDraggable1]')[0]; or jQuery('[id$=RadDraggable1]')[0]

        // Find the Element using QuerySelector
        dropTargetAreaElement = document.querySelector('[id$=RadDropTargetArea1]');

        // Step 2: call the ".control" property on the HTML element which will return the Client-Side object
        dropTargetArea = dropTargetAreaElement.control;
    }
</script>
