The following example shows how to subscribe to component property changes:

$(function() {
    $("#buttonContainer").dxButton({
        // ...
        onOptionChanged: function(e) {
            if(e.name === "changedProperty") {
                // handle the property change here
            }
        }
    });
});

<dx-button ...
    (onOptionChanged)="handlePropertyChange($event)"> 
</dx-button>

import { Component } from '@angular/core'; 

@Component({ 
    selector: 'app-root', 
    templateUrl: './app.component.html', 
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] 
}) 

export class AppComponent { 
    // ...
    handlePropertyChange(e) {
        if(e.name === "changedProperty") { 
            // handle the property change here
        }
    }
}

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; 
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; 
import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; 
import { DxButtonModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; 

@NgModule({ 
    declarations: [ 
        AppComponent 
    ], 
    imports: [ 
        BrowserModule, 
        DxButtonModule 
    ], 
    providers: [ ], 
    bootstrap: [AppComponent] 
}) 

export class AppModule { }  

<template> 
    <DxButton ...
        @option-changed="handlePropertyChange"
    />            
</template> 

<script> 
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; 
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; 
import DxButton from 'devextreme-vue/button'; 

export default { 
    components: { 
        DxButton
    }, 
    // ...
    methods: { 
        handlePropertyChange: function(e) {
            if(e.name === "changedProperty") {
                // handle the property change here
            }
        }
    } 
} 
</script> 

import React from 'react'; 
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; 
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; 

import Button from 'devextreme-react/button'; 

const handlePropertyChange = (e) => {
    if(e.name === "changedProperty") {
        // handle the property change here
    }
}

export default function App() { 
    return ( 
        <Button ...
            onOptionChanged={handlePropertyChange}
        />        
    ); 
} 

When this property is set to true, the UI component 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
});

If this property is set to true, users can click the button to validate the validation group and submit the HTML form. If the group contains async rules, the form is not submitted until they are checked.

If the onClick event handler is specified, it is executed before validation and form submission.

When using a button to validate several editors on a page, the button must "know" in which validation group these editors are located. If the Knockout or AngularJS approach is used, add the button to the div element that represents the target validation group. When using the jQuery approach, specify the validationGroup configuration property for the button. Assign the validation group name specified for the validationGroup property of the validators that extend the editors to be validated.
