JavaScript/jQuery TabPanel Options

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.

This option accepts one of the following.

• Array of objects
  A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.

• URL
  A URL to JSON data or to a service returning data in JSON format.

• DataSource or its configuration object
  A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

If the data source is specified using the dataSource option, use the items option only for reading. Updating data items using the items option may cause unexpected results.

To display widget items, a default template can be used. This template is based on the data source fields that are listed in the Default Item Template section of the widget's API.

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 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;
  }

You can use the dataSource option instead. Unlike the items option, the dataSource option can take on the DataSource configuration object as well as a simple array.

To display widget items, a default template can be used. This template is based on the data source fields that are listed in the Default Item Template section of the widget's API.

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

Assign a function to perform a custom action when a widget item is clicked.

To navigate to a specific URL when the itemClick event fires, assign that URL or the anchor part (#) of that URL directly to this option as a string.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when the right mouse button is clicked when the pointer is over a widget item, or when the "sustained" (also known as a long press) touch action is performed.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when the widget's collection item is being held for a specified time period (see the itemHoldTimeout option).

Assign a function to perform a custom action after a collection item is rendered.

Assign a function to perform a custom action after a collection item is selected or unselected.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when a widget item title is clicked.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when the widget's collection item title is being held for a specified time period (see the itemHoldTimeout option).

Assign a function to perform a custom action after a collection item title is rendered.

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
});

  JavaScript

      return window.innerWidth / 1.5;
  }
