Enables or disables the jqxToolBar and all its tools.

Code examples

Set the disabled property.

$('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar({ disabled: false });

Get the disabled property.

var disabled = $('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar('disabled');

Sets or gets the jqxToolBar's height.

Code examples

Set the height property.

$('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar({ height: '50px' });

Get the height property.

var height = $('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar('height');

A callback function where settings can be made to the tools specified in the tools property. The initTools callback function is called twice for each tool. On the first call, the settings are applied to the tool as it appears in the toolbar. On the second call, the settings are applied to the tool when it is minimized. This allows the tool to appear differently in both cases if different settings are applied.

If you wish to disable the minimization of a tool, return { minimizable: false } in initTools. If you wish the tool to be minimizable but not to appear in the minimize pop-up menu, return { menuTool: false }. In these cases, there will only be one call of initTools for this tool.

initTools is passed four parameters:

• type - the type of the tool, as specified in tools.
• index
• tool - a jQuery object representing the tool.
• menuToolIninitialization - a boolean value, specifying whether initTools is called for the toolbar tool (false) or the pop-up menu tool (true).

Code example

Set the initTools property.

$("#jqxToolBar").jqxToolBar({ width: "100%", height: 35, tools: 'button | dropdownlist combobox | input',
 initTools: function (type, index, tool, menuToolIninitialization) {
 switch (index) {
 case 0:
 tool.text("Button");
 break;
 case 1:
 tool.jqxDropDownList({ width: 130, source: ["Affogato", "Breve", "Café Crema"], selectedIndex: 1 });
 break;
 case 2:
 tool.jqxComboBox({ width: 50, source: [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20], selectedIndex: 3 });
 break;
 case 3:
 tool.jqxInput({ width: 200, placeHolder: "Type here..." });
 break;
 }
 }
});

Get the initTools property.

var displayFormat = $('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar('initTools');

$('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar({ minWidth: 200 });

Get the minWidth property.

var minWidth = $('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar('minWidth');

Sets or gets the maximum width of the jqxToolBar.

Code example

Sets or gets the types of tools in the jqxToolBar in the order they appear. The value of tools is a string representing a list of space-separated tool types. Possible tool types are: 'button', 'toggleButton', 'dropdownlist', 'combobox', 'input' and 'custom'. Separators can be added between tools by inserting a '|'.

Code example

Set the tools property.

$("#jqxToolBar").jqxToolBar({ tools: "button button button | toggleButton | dropdownlist combobox | input" });

Get the tools property.

var tools = $('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar('tools');

Sets the widget's theme.

jQWidgets uses a pair of css files - jqx.base.css and jqx.[theme name].css. The base stylesheet creates the styles related to the widget's layout like margin, padding, border-width, position. The second css file applies the widget's colors and backgrounds. The jqx.base.css should be included before the second CSS file. In order to set a theme, you need to do the following:

• Include the theme's CSS file after jqx.base.css.
  The following code example adds the 'energyblue' theme.

  
   
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.energyblue.css" type="text/css" /> 
   

• Set the widget's theme property to 'energyblue' when you initialize it.

Sets or gets the jqxToolBar's width.

Code examples

Set the width property.

$('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar({ width: 200 });

Get the width property.

var width = $('#jqxToolBar').jqxToolBar('width');

This event is triggered when the minimize pop-up menu is closed.

Code examples

Bind to the close event by type: jqxToolBar.

$('#jqxToolBar').on('close', function(){ // type your code here. }); 

This event is triggered when the minimize pop-up menu is opened.

Code examples

Bind to the open event by type: jqxToolBar.

$('#jqxToolBar').on('open', function(){ // type your code here. }); 

Adds a tool to the jqxToolBar.

List of parameters:

• Type - the new tool's type. Possible values are: 'button', 'toggleButton', 'dropdownlist', 'combobox', 'input' and 'custom'.
• Position - where to insert the tool. Possible values are 'first' and 'last'.
• Separator - whether to include a separator after the new tool. Possible values are true and false.
• Initialization callback function - a function to be called after the new tool has been initialized. It is passed three parameters:
  • type - the type of the tool.
  • tool - a jQuery object representing the tool.
  • menuToolIninitialization - a boolean value, specifying whether the callback is called for the toolbar tool (false) or the pop-up menu tool (true).

Code examples

Invoke the addTool method.

$("#jqxToolBar").jqxToolBar("addTool", "button", "last", true, function (type, tool, menuToolIninitialization) {
 var width = 100;
 if (menuToolIninitialization === true) {
 width = "100%";
 }
 tool.text("New button");
 tool.jqxButton({ width: width });
});

Disables a tool.

List of parameters:

• Index - the tool's index.
• Disable - whether to disable or enable the tool. Possible values are true (disables the tool) and false (enables the tool).

Returns an array of all tools in the jqxToolBar.

Each tool is represented by an object with the following fields:

• type - String. Returns the type of the tool.
• tool - Object. Returns a jQuery object representing the tool.
• separatorAfterWidget - Boolean. Returns whether there is a separator after the tool.
• minimizable - Boolean. Returns whether the tool is minimizable.
• minimized - Boolean. Returns whether the tool is currently minimized.
• menuTool - Object. Returns a jQuery object representing the minimized tool in the pop-up menu. If the minimized tool is disabled, returns false.
• menuSeparator - Object. Returns a jQuery object representing the separator after the minimized tool in the pop-up menu. If there is no separator after the tool, returns false.
