- <template>
- <DxCheckBox :ref="myCheckBoxRef" />
- </template>
- <script>
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
- import DxCheckBox from 'devextreme-vue/check-box';
- const myCheckBoxRef = 'my-check-box';
- export default {
- components: {
- DxCheckBox
- },
- data() {
- return {
- myCheckBoxRef
- }
- },
- computed: {
- checkBox: function() {
- return this.$refs[myCheckBoxRef].instance;
- }
- },
- mounted: function() {
- this.checkBox.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
- // The argument "e" contains information on the event
- });
- this.checkBox.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {
- // ...
- });
- }
- }
- </script>
Screen Reader Support
The CheckBox component supports screen readers and complies to WAI-ARIA standards.
The CheckBox's aria label depends on the properties you use. If you specify the text or hint property, its value is copied to the aria-label. In other cases, use elementAttr to specify the aria-label directly.
If you have technical questions, please create a support ticket in the DevExpress Support Center.
