Overview

This article lists the client-side API of RadStepper 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 stepper = $find("<%=RadStepper1.ClientID %>");

RadStepper is a server-side wrapper over the Kendo UI Stepper 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 stepperObject  = $find("<%=RadStepper1.ClientID %>"); //the standard script control object
    var kendoStepper = stepperObject.get_kendoWidget(); //the Kendo widget

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

  JavaScript

    var kendoStepper = $telerik.$("#<%=RadStepper1.ClientID %>").data("kendoStepper"); 

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