ASP .NET Core MVC Documentation

Getting Started

jqxTextArea represents a TextArea UI component that contains an input field with auto-complete functionality and a list of selectable items displayed in a drop-down.

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

jqxTextArea requires the following files:

  • CSS

  • jqx.base.css
  • Javascript

  • jqxcore.js
  • jqxbuttons.js
  • jqxscrollbar.js
  • jqxlistbox.js
  • jqxTextArea.js
The next step is to create html element within the body of the html document and add the initialization attributes.
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxscrollbar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxtextarea.js"></script>
@model IEnumerable<jQWidgets.AspNet.Core.Models.SalesEmployee>
<jqx-text-area disabled="true" width="150" source="Model" display-member="Name"></jqx-text-area>
To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the UI component’s instance.
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxscrollbar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxtextarea.js"></script>
@model IEnumerable<jQWidgets.AspNet.Core.Models.SalesEmployee>
<jqx-text-area width="150" source="Model" display-member="Name" instance="getInstance()"></jqx-text-area>
@section scripts {
<script type="text/javascript">
function getInstance(instance) {
instance["focus"]();
}
</script>
}
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.
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxscrollbar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxtextarea.js"></script>
@model IEnumerable<jQWidgets.AspNet.Core.Models.SalesEmployee>
<jqx-text-area on-change="eventHandler()"></jqx-text-area>
@section scripts {
<script type="text/javascript">
function eventHandler(event) {
}
</script>
}
