While working on an application I come across a requirement to toggle the button in application layout. On clicking of the button, its icon and handler should be toggled with another icon and function. In this post we will learn how to achieve this.

Problem statement

To understand the problem better let us consider following application. You can see that detail of a particular session is displayed in the view. In header there is an Add button. When user click on the Add button, this particular session should get added to Favorite Session List and Add button should get changed to Trash button. Essentially we need to toggle the button with different icon and function attached the click event.

Solution

We can toggle from Add to Trash as following

In above code

• saveButton is id of the button.
• fsaveDataLocally is name of the function to add Session in Favorite Session List.
• fremoveDataLocally is name of the function to remove Session from Favorite Session List.

You can bind and unbind handler from your application as per your business requirement.

We can toggle from Trash to Add as following

In this way you can toggle icon on Kendo Button and can toggle handler in the run time. I hope this post is useful. Thanks for reading.
