The Basics
The ButtonGroup widget groups a series of buttons together on a single line.
Initialization
The example below demonstrates how to initialize the ButtonGroup by using the default buttongroup tag.
$buttonGroup = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroup('select-period');
$month = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroupItem();
$month->text("Month");
$quarter = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroupItem();
$quarter->text("Quarter");
$year = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroupItem();
$year->text("Year");
$buttonGroup->addItem($month, $quarter, $year);
echo $buttonGroup->render();
Features
Enable and Disable ButtonGroup
You can configure the ButtonGroup to be initially disabled by using its enable property. The ButtonGroup can also be disabled or enabled at any time with JavaScript by using the enable() method with a Boolean argument. For more information on the enable method of the ButtonGroup, refer to the ButtonGroup API.
The following example demonstrates how to enable and disable the ButtonGroup.
$disabledButtonGroup = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroup('disabledButton');
$disabledButtonGroup->attr('type', 'buttongroup')
->enable(false)
->content('Disabled buttongroup');
echo $disabledButtonGroup->render();
Index
The initially selected index of the ButtonGroup can be configured by using its index property. An index can also be selected over the select() method with an Integer argument. For more information on the select method of the ButtonGroup, refer to the ButtonGroup API.
The following example demonstrates how to select a button by its index.
$buttonGroup = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroup('select-period');
$month = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroupItem();
$month->text("Month");
$quarter = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroupItem();
$quarter->text("Quarter");
$year = new \Kendo\UI\ButtonGroupItem();
$year->text("Year");
$buttonGroup->addItem($month, $quarter, $year);
$buttonGroup->select(0);
echo $buttonGroup->render();
