19 Apr 20234 minutes to read

At control initial load, if you want to open editor state without interacting In-place Editor input element, it can be achieved by configuring the enableEditMode property to true.

In the following sample, editor opened at initial load and when toggling a checkbox, it will remove or open the editor.

ej.base.enableRipple(true);

var CheckBoxObj = new ej.buttons.CheckBox({ label: 'Enable Editor', checked: true, change: onChange });
CheckBoxObj.appendTo('#enable');

//Initialize In-place Editor control
var editObj = new ej.inplaceeditor.InPlaceEditor({
    mode: 'Inline',
    value: 'Andrew',
    enableEditMode: true,
    actionOnBlur: 'Ignore',
    model: {
        placeholder: 'Enter some text'
    },
});

//Render initialized In-place Editor control
editObj.appendTo('#element');

function onChange(e) {
    editObj.enableEditMode = e.checked;
    editObj.dataBind();
}
