The “Getting Started” guide gives just enough information that you need to know before starting to write code. This is the only section that we recommend reading end-to-end before starting to write code, all other information can be referred as needed.

A good starting point would be to refer to the code snippets in the online sample browser which contains hundreds of code samples, it is very likely that you will find a code sample that resembles your intended usage scenario.

  • After you have integrated the component into your application using one of the sample code snippets as a starting point, it is likely that you would want additional information on specific features and API. The best option would be to search a the specific topic using the search box that is available at the top of the user guide.

  • Another valuable resource is the API reference which provides detailed information on the object hierarchy as well as the settings available on every object.
