I want to create a control using the jquery ui framework. I know that I have to use as base the jquery.ui.widget.js as a factory.
This control I want to create has a behavior similar to the tabcontrol. I want to create a tileview, so when yo select a content in a panel of multiples views... it expands and the others collapse to a side of the control. Like this one http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#TileView/FirstLook Is there any tutorial, step by step to create a custom widget?
A good starting point is jQuery UI documentation on this topic: http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/12138135/Widget-factory
At minimum your widget must implement following code (sample taken from documentation):
(function( $ ) {
$.widget( "demo.multi", {
// These options will be used as defaults
options: {
clear: null
},
// Set up the widget
_create: function() {
},
// Use the _setOption method to respond to changes to options
_setOption: function( key, value ) {
switch( key ) {
case "clear":
// handle changes to clear option
break;
}
// In jQuery UI 1.8, you have to manually invoke the _setOption method from the base widget
$.Widget.prototype._setOption.apply( this, arguments );
// In jQuery UI 1.9 and above, you use the _super method instead
this._super( "_setOption", key, value );
},
// Use the destroy method to clean up any modifications your widget has made to the DOM
destroy: function() {
// In jQuery UI 1.8, you must invoke the destroy method from the base widget
$.Widget.prototype.destroy.call( this );
// In jQuery UI 1.9 and above, you would define _destroy instead of destroy and not call the base method
}
});
}( jQuery ) );
