Configuration

The value of this option will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.

This option is used when the widget is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for widgets.

You can configure this option in an ASP.NET MVC Control as follows:

@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName()
    .ElementAttr("class", "class-name")
    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new {
        @id = "elementId",
        @class = "class-name"
    })
    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "id", "elementId" },
        { "class", "class-name" }
    })

)

@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName() _
    .ElementAttr("class", "class-name")
    ' ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(New With {
        .id = "elementId",
        .class = "class-name"
    })
    ' ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(New Dictionary(Of String, Object) From {
        { "id", "elementId" },
        { "class", "class-name" }
    })
)

This option accepts a value of one of the following types.

• Number
  The height of the widget in pixels.

• String
  A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px", "80%", "auto", "inherit".

• Function
  A function returning either of the above. For example:

  JavaScript

  height: function() {
      return window.innerHeight / 1.5;
  }

#checkBoxContainer .dx-checkbox-icon{
    height: 20px;
    width: 20px;
}

In Knockout apps, you may need to inform a user about an error that occurred during the validation of a view model field. For this purpose, set the editor's isValid option to the isValid value of the dxValidator that validates this field. To show an error message, set the editor's validationError option to the dxValidator's validationError value.

var editorValue = ko.observable("").extend({
    dxValidator: {
        validationRules: [{
            type: 'required',
            message: 'Specify this value'
        }]
    }
});
var viewModel = {
    editorOptions: {
        value: editorValue,
        isValid: editorValue.dxValidator.isValid,
        validationError: editorValue.dxValidator.validationError
    }
};

The editor's isValid and validationError options should also be specified when using a custom validation engine. In this instance, the validation result will be displayed for the editor by the means of the DevExtreme Validation UI.

Specify this option if the widget lies within an HTML form that will be submitted.

If you configure the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, use this option to bind the widget to a model property. If this model property contains Data Annotation validation attributes, you get the client-side validation enabled by default.

You cannot access elements in the widget because this handler is executed before they are ready. Use the onContentReady handler instead.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when the editor value changes.

When this option is set to true, the widget text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

The value of this option will be passed to the tabindex attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.

In Knockout apps, you may need to inform a user about an error that occurred during the validation of a view model field. For this purpose, set the editor's isValid option to the isValid value of the dxValidator that validates this field. To show an error message, set the editor's validationError option to the dxValidator's validationError value.

var editorValue = ko.observable("").extend({
    dxValidator: {
        validationRules: [{
            type: 'required',
            message: 'Specify this value'
        }]
    }
});
var viewModel = {
    editorOptions: {
        value: editorValue,
        isValid: editorValue.dxValidator.isValid,
        validationError: editorValue.dxValidator.validationError
    }
};

The editor's isValid and validationError options should also be specified when using a custom validation engine. In this instance, the validation result will be displayed for the editor by the means of the DevExtreme Validation UI.

The following option values are possible:

• auto
  The tooltip with the message is displayed when the editor is in focus.
• always
  The tooltip with the message is not hidden when the editor loses focus.

When using the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, specify this option using the ValidationMessageMode enum. This enum accepts the following values: Auto and Always.

The check box can be in one of the following states depending on the value option value.

• checked
  value is true

• unchecked
  value is false

• undetermined
  value is undefined

An end-user can change the widget value using the Enter or Space key.

This option accepts a value of one of the following types.

• Number
  The width of the widget in pixels.

• String
  A CSS-accepted measurement of width. For example, "55px", "80%", "auto", "inherit".

• Function
  A function returning either of the above. For example:

  JavaScript

  width: function() {
      return window.innerWidth / 1.5;
  }

#checkBoxContainer .dx-checkbox-icon{
    height: 20px;
    width: 20px;
}
