RadFloatingActionButton object

This article lists the client-side API of RadFloatingActionButton and shows how to use it.

To use the API, you must first get a reference to the control's client-side object. For example:

var floatingActionButtonObject = $find("<%=RadFloatingActionButton1.ClientID %>");

RadFloatingActionButton is a server-side wrapper over the Kendo UI FloatingActionButton Widget. Thus, it exposes the API of the underlying Kendo widget. To get a reference to the Kendo widget instance, you can do either of the following:

  • Use the get_kendoWidget() method of the MS AJAX wrapper:

    JavaScript

    var floatingActionButtonObject  = $find("<%=RadFloatingActionButton1.ClientID %>"); //the standard script control object
    var kendoFloatingActionButton = floatingActionButtonObject.get_kendoWidget(); //the Kendo widget
    
  • Get the Kendo Widget in its usual way. Make sure to use the $telerik.$ jQuery reference:

    JavaScript

    var kendoFloatingActionButton = $telerik.$("#<%=RadFloatingActionButton1.ClientID %>").data("kendoFloatingActionButton"); 
    

In addition to using the Kendo methods directly, you can also use their wrappers that follow the MS AJAX convention through the RadFloatingActionButton client object.
