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 EnableDeferredUpdate to true, the RangeChanged event gets fired after dragging and dropping the slider. By default the EnableDeferredUpdate is true. If EnableDeferredUpdate is false then the RangeChanged event gets fired while dragging the slider.

// destroy the range navigator
$("#RangeNavigator1").ejRangeNavigator("_destroy");
</script>Handle Events
Load
This event is fired when RangeNavigator is loading. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.model, you can access the RangeNavigator properties.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideLoad="loadData">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function loadData(sender)
{
sender.model.allowSnapping = false;
}
</script>Loaded
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.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideLoaded="loadingData">
<%--Code --%>
<%--Code --%>
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function loadingData(sender) {
sender.model. isResponsive = false;
}
</script>RangeChanged
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.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideRangeChanged="onChartLoad">
<%--Code --%>
<%--Code --%>
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function onChartLoad(sender) {
console.log(sender.selectedRangeSettings.start);
}
</script>SelectedRangeStart
This event is fired when starting to change the slider position in RangeNavigator. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.selectedRangeSettings, you can access the start value of range for the selected region.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideSelectedRangeStart="selectedRangeStart">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function selectedRangeStart(sender)
{
console.log(sender.selectedRangeSettings.start);
}
</script>SelectedRangeEnd
This event is fired when selection ends in RangeNavigator. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.selectedRangeSettings, you can access the end value of range for the selected region.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideSelectedRangeEnd="selectedRangeEnd">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function selectedRangeEnd(sender)
{
console.log(sender.selectedRangeSettings.end);
}
</script>ScrollStart
This event is fired when starting to change the scrollbar position of RangeNavigator. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.data startRange and sender.data endRange, you can access the scrollbar position starting and ending range value on changed scrollbar.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideScrollStart="scrollStart">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function scrollStart(sender)
{
console.log(sender.type);
}
</script>ScrollEnd
This event is fired while ending the change in scrollbar position of RangeNavigator. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using data oldRange and data newRange, you can access the scrollbar position old and new range values on changing scrollbar.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideScrollEnd="scrollEnd">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function scrollEnd(sender)
{
console.log(sender.type);
}
</script>ScrollChanged
This event is fired when changing the scrollbar position of RangeNavigator. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using data oldRange and data newRange, you can access the old and new range values of changed scrollbar position.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideScrollChanged="scrollChanged">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function scrollChanged(sender)
{
console.log(sender.type);
}
</script>Click
Click event is handled when the RangeNavigator gets clicked. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.model, you can access the RangeNavigator properties.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideClick="click">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function click(sender)
{
console.log(sender.type);
}
</script>DoubleClick
DoubleClick event is handled when the RangeNavigator gets clicked. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.model, you can access the RangeNavigator properties.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideDoubleClick="doubleClick">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function doubleClick(sender)
{
console.log(sender.type);
}
</script>RightClick
RightClick event is handled when the RangeNavigator gets clicked. A parameter sender is passed to the handler. Using sender.model, you can access the RangeNavigator properties.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideRightClick="rightClick">
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
function rightClick(sender)
{
console.log(sender.type);
}
</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.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="RangeNavigator1" runat="server" onClientSideRangeChanged="loadingData">
<%--Code --%>
<%--Code --%>
</ej:RangeNavigator><script type="text/javascript">
// setting zoom factor and position for chart axis in rangeChanged event.
function loadingData(sender) {
var chartObj = $("#RangeNavigator1").data("ejChart");
if (chartObj != null) {
chartObj.model.axes[0].zoomPosition = sender. zoomPosition;
chartObj.model.axes[0].zoomFactor = sender. zoomFactor;
}
$("#RangeNavigator1").ejChart("redraw");
}
</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><ej:RangeNavigator ID="Range1" runat="server">

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

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.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="Range1" runat="server">
<ValueAxisSettings RangePadding="Normal" Visible="true">
<AxisLine Visible="true"></AxisLine>
<Font Size="12px"></Font>
<MajorGridLines Visible="true"></MajorGridLines>
<MajorTickLines Size="3" Visible="false" Width="3"></MajorTickLines>
<Range Min="0" Max="100" Interval="10"></Range>
</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.
<ej:RangeNavigator ID="Range1" runat="server">
<SelectedRangeSettings Start="01/05/1992" End="01/05/1993">
</SelectedRangeSettings>
</ej:RangeNavigator>
