constructor(element: any, options?: any): Gauge
Initializes a new instance of the Gauge class.
The DOM element that hosts the control, or a CSS selector for the host element (e.g. '#theCtrl').
The JavaScript object containing initialization data for the control.
Gets or sets the Range used to represent the gauge's overall geometry and appearance.
Gets or sets a callback that returns customized strings used to display gauge values.
Use this property if you want to customize the strings shown on the gauge in cases where the format property is not enough.
If provided, the callback should be a function as that takes as parameters the gauge, the part name, the value, and the formatted value. The callback should return the string to be displayed on the gauge.
For example:
// callback to convert values into strings
gauge.getText = (gauge, part, value, text) => {
switch (part) {
case 'value':
if (value <= 10) return 'Empty!';
if (value <= 25) return 'Low...';
if (value <= 95) return 'Good';
return 'Full';
case 'min':
return 'EMPTY';
case 'max':
return 'FULL';
}
return text;
}
Gets or sets a value that determines whether the user can edit the gauge value using the mouse wheel.
The default value for this property is **true**.
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the gauge displays a shadow effect.
The default value for this property is **true**.
Gets the DOM element that is hosting the control.
Gets or sets a value that determines whether the Gauge should use animation to show value changes.
The default value for this property is **true**.
Gets or sets a value that determines whether the control is disabled.
Disabled controls cannot get mouse or keyboard events.
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the user can edit the gauge value using the mouse and keyboard.
The default value for this property is **true**.
Gets or sets the maximum value that can be displayed on the gauge.
For details about using the min and max properties, please see the Using the min and max properties topic.
Gets or sets the minimum value that can be displayed on the gauge.
For details about using the min and max properties, please see the Using the min and max properties topic.
Gets or sets the starting point used for painting the range.
By default, this property is set to null, which causes the value range to start at the gauge's minimum value, or zero if the minimum is less than zero.
Gets a value indicating whether the control is hosted in an element with right-to-left layout.
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the gauge displays the ranges contained in the ranges property.
If this property is set to false, the ranges contained in the ranges property are not displayed in the gauge. Instead, they are used to interpolate the color of the pointer range while animating value changes.
The default value for this property is **true**.
Gets or sets the ShowText values to display as text in the gauge.
The default value for this property is **ShowText.All** for RadialGauge controls, and to **ShowText.None** for LinearGauge controls.
Gets or sets a property that determines whether the gauge should display tickmarks at each step (or tickSpacing) value.
The tickmarks can be formatted in CSS using the **wj-gauge** and **wj-ticks** class names. For example:
```css .wj-gauge .wj-ticks { stroke-width: 2px; stroke: white; } ```
The default value for this property is **false.
Gets or sets a property that determines whether the gauge should display the text value of each tick mark.
You can use CSS to style the tickmark text:
```css .wj-gauge .wj-tick-text text { opacity: 1; font-family: Courier; font-size: 8pt; fill: purple; } ```
See also the showTicks and tickSpacing properties.
The default value for this property is **false**.
Gets or sets a value that determines whether the ranges contained in the ranges collection should be stacked within the gauge.
By default, stackRanges is set to false, and the ranges in the ranges collection are displayed with the same thickness as the gauge's face.
Setting stackRanges to true causes the ranges to become narrower, and to be displayed side-by-side.
Gets or sets the amount to add to or subtract from the value property when the user presses the arrow keys or moves the mouse wheel.
Gets or sets a value of the **tabindex** attribute associated with the control.
**tabindex** attribute value can be defined statically for a Wijmo control by specifying it on the control's host HTML element. But this value can't be changed later during application lifecycle, because Wijmo controls have complex structure, and the control may need to propagate this attribute value to its internal element to work properly.
Because of this, to read or change control's **tabindex** dynamically, you should do it using this property.
Gets or sets the thickness of the gauge, on a scale between zero and one.
Setting the thickness to one causes the gauge to fill as much of the control area as possible. Smaller values create thinner gauges.
Gets or sets the size of the element that shows the gauge's current value, in pixels.
Gets or sets the spacing between tickmarks.
Set the showTicks property to true if you want the gauge to show tickmarks along its face. By default, the interval between tickmarks is defined by the step property.
Use the tickSpacing property to override the default and use a spacing that is different from the step value. Set the tickSpacing property to null to revert to the default behavior.
addEventListener(target: EventTarget, type: string, fn: any, capture?: boolean, passive?: boolean): void
Adds an event listener to an element owned by this Control.
The control keeps a list of attached listeners and their handlers, making it easier to remove them when the control is disposed (see the dispose and removeEventListener methods).
Failing to remove event listeners may cause memory leaks.
The passive parameter is set to false by default, which means the event handler may call event.preventDefault(). If you are adding passive handlers to touch or wheel events, setting this parameter to true will improve application performance.
For details on passive event listeners, please see Improving scrolling performance with passive listeners.
Target element for the event.
String that specifies the event.
Function to execute when the event occurs.
Whether the listener should be handled by the control before it is handled by the target element.
Indicates that the handler will never call preventDefault().
applyTemplate(classNames: string, template: string, parts: Object, namePart?: string): HTMLElement
Applies the template to a new instance of a control, and returns the root element.
This method should be called by constructors of templated controls. Therefore, this method is not available. It is responsible for binding the template parts to the corresponding control members.
For example, the code below applies a template to an instance of an InputNumber control. The template must contain elements with the 'wj-part' attribute set to 'input', 'btn-inc', and 'btn-dec'. The control members '_tbx', '_btnUp', and '_btnDn' will be assigned references to these elements.
this.applyTemplate('wj-control wj-inputnumber', templateString, {
_tbx: 'input',
_btnUp: 'btn-inc',
_btnDn: 'btn-dec'
}, 'input');
```
Names of classes to add to the control's host element.
An HTML string that defines the control template.
A dictionary of part variables and their names.
Name of the part to be named after the host element. This determines how the control submits data when used in forms.
beginUpdate(): void
Suspends notifications until the next call to endUpdate.
deferUpdate(fn: Function): void
Executes a function within a beginUpdate/endUpdate block.
The control will not be updated until the function has been executed. This method ensures endUpdate is called even if the function throws an exception.
Function to be executed.
dispose(): void
Disposes of the control by removing its association with the host element.
The dispose method automatically removes any event listeners added with the addEventListener method.
Calling the dispose method is important in applications that create and remove controls dynamically. Failing to dispose of the controls may cause memory leaks.
disposeAll(e?: HTMLElement): void
Disposes of all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.
Container element.
endUpdate(shouldInvalidate?: boolean): void
Resumes notifications suspended by calls to beginUpdate.
should invalidate the control. Default value for this parameter is true.
getControl(element: any): Control
Gets the control that is hosted in a given DOM element.
The DOM element that hosts the control, or a CSS selector for the host element (e.g. '#theCtrl').
getTemplate(): string
Gets the HTML template used to create instances of the control.
This method traverses up the class hierarchy to find the nearest ancestor that specifies a control template. For example, if you specify a prototype for the ComboBox control, which does not specify a template, it will override the template defined by the DropDown base class (the nearest ancestor that does specify a template).
hitTest(pt: any, y?: number): number
Gets a number that corresponds to the value of the gauge at a given point.
For example:
// hit test a point when the user clicks on the gauge
gauge.hostElement.addEventListener('click', e => {
var ht = gauge.hitTest(e.pageX, e.pageY);
if (ht != null) {
console.log('you clicked the gauge at value ' + ht.toString());
}
});
The point to investigate, in window coordinates, or a MouseEvent object, or the x coordinate of the point.
The Y coordinate of the point (if the first parameter is a number).
initialize(options: any): void
Initializes the control by copying the properties from a given object.
This method allows you to initialize controls using plain data objects instead of setting the value of each property in code.
For example:
grid.initialize({
itemsSource: myList,
autoGenerateColumns: false,
columns: [
{ binding: 'id', header: 'Code', width: 130 },
{ binding: 'name', header: 'Name', width: 60 }
]
});
// is equivalent to
grid.itemsSource = myList;
grid.autoGenerateColumns = false;
// etc.
The initialization data is type-checked as it is applied. If the initialization object contains unknown property names or invalid data types, this method will throw.
Object that contains the initialization data.
invalidate(fullUpdate?: boolean): void
Invalidates the control causing an asynchronous refresh.
Whether to update the control layout as well as the content.
invalidateAll(e?: HTMLElement): void
Invalidates all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.
Use this method when your application has dynamic panels that change the control's visibility or dimensions. For example, splitters, accordions, and tab controls usually change the visibility of its content elements. In this case, failing to notify the controls contained in the element may cause them to stop working properly.
If this happens, you must handle the appropriate event in the dynamic container and call the invalidateAll method so the contained Wijmo controls will update their layout information properly.
Container element. If set to null, all Wijmo controls on the page will be invalidated.
onGotFocus(e?: EventArgs): void
Raises the gotFocus event.
onInvalidInput(e: CancelEventArgs): void
Raises the invalidInput event.
If the event handler cancels the event, the control will keep the invalid input and the focus.
onLostFocus(e?: EventArgs): void
Raises the lostFocus event.
onRefreshed(e?: EventArgs): void
Raises the refreshed event.
onRefreshing(e?: EventArgs): void
Raises the refreshing event.
onValueChanged(e?: EventArgs): void
Raises the valueChanged event.
refresh(fullUpdate?: boolean): void
Refreshes the control.
Indicates whether to update the control layout as well as the content.
refreshAll(e?: HTMLElement): void
Refreshes all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.
This method is similar to invalidateAll, except the controls are updated immediately rather than after an interval.
Container element. If set to null, all Wijmo controls on the page will be invalidated.
removeEventListener(target?: EventTarget, type?: string, fn?: any, capture?: boolean): number
Removes one or more event listeners attached to elements owned by this Control.
Target element for the event. If null, removes listeners attached to all targets.
String that specifies the event. If null, removes listeners attached to all events.
Handler to remove. If null, removes all handlers.
Whether the listener is capturing. If null, removes capturing and non-capturing listeners.
Occurs when invalid input is detected.
Invalid input may occur when the user types or pastes a value that cannot be converted to the proper type, or a value that is outside the valid range.
If the event handler cancels the event, the control will retain the invalid content and the focus, so users can correct the error.
If the event is not canceled, the control will ignore the invalid input and will retain the original content.
Base class for the Wijmo Gauge controls (abstract).
