jQWidgets jqxKnob pointerGrabAction Property

Last Updated : 28 Nov, 2021

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxKnob is used for representing a jQuery plugin having a round shape and displaying a draggable indicator within a range of the specified values. This API can also be used in a table or matrix for showing the relative value of a field in a range of values in the specified data region.

The pointerGrabAction property is used for setting or getting the pointerGrabAction property for the specified jqxKnob. Its possible values are “normal”, “progressBar”, and “pointer”.

Syntax:

For setting the pointerGrabAction property:

$('#jqxKnob').jqxKnob({pointerGrabAction: "pointer" });

For getting the pointerGrabAction property:

var allowValueChangeOnClick = 
    $('#jqxKnob').jqxKnob('pointerGrabAction');
