Attributes

activeDescendant

Number

Node, or index of the Node, representing the descendant that is either focused or is focusable (tabIndex attribute is set to 0). The value cannot represent a disabled descendant Node. Use a value of -1 to remove all descendant Nodes from the default tab flow. If no value is specified, the active descendant will be inferred using the following criteria:

  1. Examining the tabIndex attribute of each descendant and using the first descendant whose tabIndex attribute is set to 0
  2. If no default can be inferred then the value is set to either 0 or the index of the first enabled descendant.

Fires event activeDescendantChange

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute activeDescendant is changed. You can listen for the event using the on method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the after method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

Parameters:

  • e EventFacade
    An Event Facade object with the following attribute-specific properties added:
    • prevVal Any
      The value of the attribute, prior to it being set.
    • newVal Any
      The value the attribute is to be set to.
    • attrName String
      The name of the attribute being set.
    • subAttrName String
      If setting a property within the attribute's value, the name of the sub-attribute property being set.

circular

Boolean

Boolean indicating if focus should be set to the first/last descendant when the end or beginning of the descendants has been reached.

Default: true

Fires event circularChange

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute circular is changed. You can listen for the event using the on method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the after method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

Parameters:

  • e EventFacade

keys

Object

Object literal representing the keys to be used to navigate between the next/previous descendant. The format for the attribute's value is { next: "down:40", previous: "down:38" }. The value for the "next" and "previous" properties are used to attach key event listeners. See the Using the key Event section of the Event documentation for more information on "key" event listeners.
