Switch does not fire "change" event to correspondent <input>

[Alex]

Hi again!
For me it is an issue, if switch widget should "replace" checkbox on my iPad, it should also fire "changed" event.
Fiddle:

Hi Alex,

Programmatically checking an HTML checkbox does not trigger its change event - check this fiddle:

Of course it's true, but as I said, I see switch widget as a replacement of chekcbox and thus, if my application should do something on change I expect triggering change event.

Trying to fire this event by myself I found (maybe) another issue in your implementation. I tried to bind on "kendoMobileSwitch" change event, as described in documentation, but there is no "kendoMobileSwitch" data in input. Here is fiddle:

I read the data with "kendoMobileSwitch" key and it is undefined! Do I something wrong?

In my application I have 4 switches, and only first one has this data, I could not explain this.
Please help.

Hi Alex,

You can do that workaround in the view init event handler. The application (and its widgets) are not initialized immediately.

Thanks, thats worked for me. The reason, that first switch data was present, and another not, just simple : first switch was on the first view, and another on another views, and as I understood, view initialized just before showing.

Here is a sample to make switch fire change event to input:

var kendoMobileViewInit = function(e){

    $(e.view.element).find('.my-switch-class').each(function(){

        var switchData = $(this).data("kendoMobileSwitch");

        if(switchData)

            switchData.bind("change", function(e) {

                $(this.element).trigger('change');

            });

    });

};
