Enable Dragging for the Drag Handle

You can enable the users to slide the Switch to reveal its second value.

The following example demonstrates how to enable the dragging of the Switch drag handle.

  <input type="checkbox" id="switch" />

  <script>
    var sliding = false;
    var position;
    var handle;
    var constrain;
    var RESOLVEDPREFIX = kendo.support.transitions.css === undefined ? "" : kendo.support.transitions.css;
    var TRANSFORMSTYLE = RESOLVEDPREFIX + "transform";

    var switchButton = $("#switch").kendoSwitch({
      checked: true,
      width: 200,
      messages: {
        checked: "Yes",
        unchecked: "No",
      },
      change: function (e) {
        if (sliding) {
          e.preventDefault();
          sliding = false;
        }
      }
    }).data("kendoSwitch");

    handle = switchButton.wrapper.find(".k-switch-handle");
    var userEvents = new kendo.UserEvents(switchButton.wrapper, {
      start: _start,
      move: _move,
      end: _stop
    });

    function limitValue(value, minLimit, maxLimit) {
      return Math.max(minLimit, Math.min(maxLimit, value));
    }

    function _start() {
      if(!switchButton.options.enabled) {
          userEvents.cancel();
      } else {
          userEvents.capture();

          constrain = kendo._outerWidth(switchButton.wrapper, true) - kendo._outerWidth(handle, true);
          position = 0;

          handle.addClass("k-state-active");
      }
    };

    function _stop(e) {
      var checked = position > constrain / 2;

      sliding = false;

      handle.removeClass("k-state-active");
      switchButton.check(checked);
      switchButton.trigger("change", { checked: checked });
      sliding = true;
      handle.css(TRANSFORMSTYLE, "");
    };

    function _move(e) {
      var value = limitValue(position + e.x.delta, -constrain, constrain);
      e.preventDefault();

      position = value;
      handle.css(TRANSFORMSTYLE, "translatex(" + position + "px)");
    }
  </script>
