Behavior Customization

RangeNavigator allows you to customize the control using events. You can change the range for selected data of the RangeNavigator using events.

Deferred update

If you set enableDeferredUpdateto true, the rangeChanged event gets fired after dragging and dropping the slider. By default the enableDeferredUpdateis true. If enableDeferredUpdateis false then the rangeChanged event gets fired while dragging the slider.

HTML

<ej-rangenavigator id="rangecontainer" [enableDeferredUpdate]="true">
</ej-rangenavigator>

Handle Events

loaded: function

This event is handled when the RangeNavigator gets loaded. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.model, you can access the RangeNavigator properties.

HTML

<ej-rangenavigator id="rangecontainer" (loaded)="rangeLoaded($event)">
</ej-rangenavigator>

  <script>     

    function rangeLoaded(sender) {
        sender.model.isResponsive = false;
    }
    
 </script>

rangeChanged: function

This event gets fired whenever the selected range changes in RangeNavigator. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.selectedRangeSettings, you can access the start and end value of range for the selected region.

HTML

<ej-rangenavigator id="rangecontainer" (rangeChanged)="rangeChanged($event)">
</ej-rangenavigator>

  <script>     
        
    function rangeChanged(sender) {
        console.log(sender.selectedRangeSettings.start);
    }
    
 </script>

Use of ZoomCoordinates

RangeNavigator is used along with the controls like chart and grid to view the selected data. To update chart/grid, whenever the selected range changes in RangeNavigator, you can use rangeChanged event of RangeNavigator and then update the chart/grid with the selected data in this event.

You can easily update the data for chart by assigning the zoomFactor and zoomPosition of the RangeNavigator to the chart axis.

HTML

<ej-rangenavigator id="rangecontainer" (rangeChanged)="onChartLoaded($event)">
</ej-rangenavigator>
  
  <script>

    // setting zoom factor and position for chart axis in rangeChanged event.
    function onChartLoaded(sender) {
        var chartObj = $("#container").data("ejChart");
        if (chartObj != null) {
            chartObj.model.axes[0].zoomPosition = sender.zoomPosition;
            chartObj.model.axes[0].zoomFactor = sender.zoomFactor;
        }
        $("#container").ejChart("redraw");
    }
  </script>

Thumb Template

You can customize Thumb template by using leftThumbTemplate and rightThumbTemplate property. You can add the required template as a “div” element with an “id” to the web page and assign the id or assign the HTML string to this property under navigatorStyleSettings.

HTML

<script type="text/x-jsrender" id="left" >
           <svg height="24" width="32" style="fill:#DD4A4A;stroke:black;">
                <path d="M2 2 L2 22 L22 22 L32 12 L22 2 Z" />
           </svg>
</script>
<script type="text/x-jsrender" id="right">
           <svg height="24" width="32" style="fill:#DD4A4A;stroke:black; ">
               <path d="M2 12 L12 22 L32 22 L32 2 L12 2 Z" />
           </svg>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
                    
                    this.navigatorStyleSettings= {
                          leftThumbTemplate: 'left',
                          rightThumbTemplate: 'right',
                    };
</script>

<ej-rangenavigator id="rangecontainer" [navigatorStyleSettings]="navigatorStyleSettings">
</ej-rangenavigator>

The following screenshot displays the RangeNavigator using thumb template.

Value Axis Settings

You can customize the line, Font Size, gridline, tickline, range, RangePadding and visibility of RangeNavigator axis.

To enable the visibility of axis line, you need to set Visible property of AxisLine in ValueAxisSettings.

You can customize the axis range by specifying Min, Max and Interval for Range property.

The MajorGridLines can be enabled by specifying Visible property. The Size, Width and Visible property of MajorTickLines is used to customize the axis tick lines.

The visibility of ValueAxisSettings is enabled by setting Visible property as true.

HTML

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
                    
                    this.valueAxisSettings= {
                          Min:10 ,
                          Max: 50 ,
                          Interval: 5,                          
                          MajorTickLines:{
                              visible:'true'
                          },
                          Size:2,
                          Width:2,
                          MajorGridLines:{
                              visible:'true'
                          },
                    };
</script>

<ej-rangenavigator id="rangecontainer" [valueAxisSettings]="this.valueAxisSettings">
</ej-rangenavigator>

Selected Range Settings

The start and end range values of selected range can be customized using Start and End property of SelectedRangeSettings.

HTML

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
                    
                    this.selectedRangeSettings= {
                          start:'',
                          end:''
                    };
</script>

<ej:RangeNavigator ID="Range1" [selectedRangeSettings]="this.selectedRangeSettings" >               
</ej:RangeNavigator>
