ASP .NET Core MVC Documentation

Getting Started

jqxToolbar represents a UI component which is a bar with different types of tools.

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

jqxToolbar requires the following files:

• CSS

• jqx.base.css

• Javascript

• jqxcore.js
• jqxbuttons.js
• jqxscrollbar.js
• jqxlistbox.js
• jqxToolbar.js

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

To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the UI component’s instance.

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.
