JavaScript/jQuery ValidationSummary Options

An object defining configuration options for the widget.

elementAttr

Specifies the attributes to be attached to the widget's root element.

Type:

Object

Default Value: {}

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

Razor C#
Razor VB
@(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" }
    })
)

hoverStateEnabled

Specifies whether the widget changes its state when a user pauses on it.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

items

An array of items displayed by the widget.

Type:

Array<String | Object>

Generally, the array of items is auto-generated when a validation result is ready. And if you set a custom array of items, it will be overridden by the auto-generated array. So use this option to read the current array of items. Alternatively, you can set the array of items generated by a custom validation engine.

itemTemplate

Specifies a custom template for items.

Type:

template

Template Data:

Object

The item object to be rendered.

Default Name: 'item'

If you use the JQuery approach, the validationGroup option should be specified for the ValidationSummary widget to generate a summary for a particular validation group. Assign the validation group name that is specified for the validationGroup option of the validators that extend the editors to be validated.
