Detect whether switch is 'On' or 'Off'

[Damien]

Hi Alexander/Telrik -

I would like to know if there is a way to see if the switch is either checked or unchecked?

Basically something like: ON || OFF

if switch.OFF:then run this.function()
If switch.NOT.OFF run that.function();

I had a look at your examples on the demo page but only show a console.log("Checked?Unchecked")
Which toggies with the switch but doesn't allow binding a specific event to the status of a switch.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Damien,

Switch widget has a check method which allows you to get its state. Also it have a change event that fires when state of the widget changes.

Hi,
I'm using the documentation you mentioned and I cannot get manage to make it work, I tried it in my current project and it didn't work, I also tried in a blank project with no luck either.

I copy here the documentation of your event, and hope to get an answer soon.

Thanks

<input type="checkbox" id="switch" data-role="switch" />

<script>
$("#switch").data("kendoMobileSwitch").bind("change", function(e) {
console.log(e.checked); // true or false
}
</script>

Hi Gerardo,

I prepared a small example where everything seems to work as expected.

Please compare your implementation with the one presented in the sample.

How to get switch state outside change event?

var myswitch = $("#myswitch ").data("kendoMobileSwitch");

Hi,
You could use the Check() method of the mobile switch component to get the checked state.

the switch updates the internal checkbox as it operates.  You could just do something like this (jquery)
$("#switch").prop("checked")
