RadBreadcrumb object

This article lists the client-side API of RadBreadcrumb and shows how to use it.

To use the API, you must first get a reference to the control's client-side object. For example:

JavaScript

var breadcrumbObject = $find("<%=RadBreadcrumb1.ClientID %>");

RadBreadcrumb is a server-side wrapper over the Kendo UI Breadcrumb Widget. Thus, it exposes the API of the underlying Kendo widget. To get a reference to the Kendo widget instance, you can do either of the following:

• Use the get_kendoWidget() method of the MS AJAX wrapper:

  JavaScript

    var breadcrumbObject  = $find("<%=RadBreadcrumb1.ClientID %>"); //the standard script control object
    var kendoBreadcrumb = breadcrumbObject.get_kendoWidget(); //the Kendo widget

• Get the Kendo Widget in its usual way. Make sure to use the $telerik.$ jQuery reference:

  JavaScript

    var kendoBreadcrumb = $telerik.$("#<%=RadBreadcrumb1.ClientID %>").data("kendoBreadcrumb"); 

In addition to using the Kendo methods directly, you can also use their wrappers that follow the MS AJAX convention through the RadBreadcrumb client object.

Table1: Client-side methods exposed by the MS AJAX RadBreadcrumb object

Name	Parameters	Return Type	Description
dispose	none	none	Destroys the underlying Kendo widget (calls its destroy method). Once you call it, you will not be able to use the widget or control.
get_items	none	Array	Returns the collection of breadcrumb items.
get_value	none	String	Returns the value of the breadcrumb
set_value	String	none	Sets the value of the breadcrumb
repaint	Boolean	none	Repaints the control. The "force" argument determines whether the resizing routine should be executed even if the respective widget's outer dimensions have not changed.
