Getting Started

jqxDropDownButton represents a DropDownButton UI component that contains a drop-down with any type of content.

Every ASP .NET Core Mvc Tag Helper from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

Include all required javascript and css files

jqxDropDownButton requires the following files:

• CSS

• jqx.base.css

• Javascript

• jqxcore.js
• jqxbuttons.js
• jqxdropdownbutton.js

The next step is to create html element within the body of the html document and add the initialization attributes.

To bind to an event of a UI Component, you can use on-event-type syntax. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to an event.
