Reset of SwitchFor control does not work

[Jean]

I have a form with a couple of switchfor controls on them. They are bond to Boolean properties of my model. When calling a reset on the form, these controls do not revert back to the original value as expected.

 

<div class="col-1">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <label asp-for="DoNotContact">Ne pas contacter</label><br />
                            @(Html.Kendo().SwitchFor(m => m.DoNotContact)    )
             </div>

 </div>

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Jean,

I would suggest you call the refresh() method of the Switch after the form has been reset. This will reset the Switch to its default state.

 $("#switch").data("kendoMobileSwitch").refresh();

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Nicolay,

 

I am not using KendoMobileSwitch. As stated in my question, I am using KendoSwitch and it seems that there is no refresh() method on this control. The lack of consistency between controls and the minimalist documentation is quite frustrating. I solved my problem by manually checking the original value and if different from the displayed state, i call the toggle method.  Here is my script:

 var dnc = $("#DoNotContact").data("kendoSwitch");
        if (dnc.checked != "@Model.DoNotContact")
            dnc.toggle();

 

Not elegant but it works...

Hello Jean,

Thank you fr sharing the solution you came up with. I have prepared a small Dojo demo demonstrating how to incorporate the toggle() method to reset the Switch on submitting the form.
