jQWidgets jqxSwitchButton orientation Property

Last Updated : 30 Sep, 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 jqxSwitchButton is used to illustrate a jQuery button widget that changes its verified state after being clicked. Moreover, it’s quite identical to the jqxToggleButton, yet possesses a distinct user interface view.

The orientation property is used to check the orientation of the displayed switch button. It is of type string and its default value is “horizontal”.

Its possible values are:

horizontal
vertical

Syntax:

To set the orientation property.

$('Selector').jqxSwitchButton({ orientation:vertical });

To get the orientation property.

var orientation = $('Selector').jqxSwitchButton('orientation');
