setProperties()

allows changing available configuration attributes of the control dynamically

setProperties(arg?: string | ICheckboxGroupProps, props?: ICheckboxGroupItemProps): void;

Parameters:

• arg: string | object - either the id of a radio button, or an object with the available attributes of the RadioGroup control and their new values
• props: object - optional, an object with the available attributes of the radio button and their new values

Example

// 1. Changes values in the configuration of the RadioGroup control
form.getItem("radiogroup").setProperties({
    label: "New label",
    labelPosition: "top",
    helpMessage: " Help information",
    options: {
        rows: [
            {
                id: "first",
                type: "radioButton",
                text: "Select 1",
                value: "1",
            },
            {
                id: "second",
                type: "radioButton",
                text: "Select 2",
                value: "2"
            },
            {
                id: "third",
                type: "radioButton",
                text: "Select 3",
                value: "3"
            }
        ]
    }
});

// 2. Changes values in the configuration of the specified radio button of the control
form.getItem("radiogroup").setProperties("first", {
    text: "New Text",
    padding: 20
});

The method invokes the afterChangeProperties and beforeChangeProperties events.

It is possible to change values of the following configuration attributes of the RadioGroup control:

options	(object) an object with options of a RadioGroup
width	(string|number|"content") the width of a control
height	(string|number|"content") the height of a control
padding	(string|number) sets padding between a cell and a border of a RadioGroup control
css	(string) adds style classes to a control
required	(boolean) defines whether a control is required
label	(string) specifies a label for a control
hiddenLabel	(boolean) invisible label that will be used to identify the input on the server side
labelPosition	(string) defines the position of a label: "left"|"top"
labelWidth	(string|number) sets the width of the label of a control
helpMessage	(string) adds a help message to a control
preMessage	(string) a message that contains instructions for interacting with the control, applied for all radio buttons in a group
successMessage	(string) a message that appears in case of successful validation of the control value, applied for all radio buttons in a group
errorMessage	(string) a message that appears in case of error during validation of the control value, applied for all radio buttons in a group

It is possible to change values of the following configuration attributes of a radio button of the RadioGroup control:

text	(string) the text label of a radio button
width	(string|number|"content") the width of a control
height	(string|number|"content") the height of a control
padding	(string|number) sets padding between a cell and a border of a radio button
css	(string) adds style classes to a control

We recommend that you apply the second way of using the method if you want to change the configuration of a separate radio button in the RadioGroup control:

form.getItem("radiogroup").setProperties("first", {
    text: "New Text",
    padding: 20
});
