(json: any, options?: ILoadFromJSONOptions) => void

Parameters:

json, type: any ,

A JSON object with properties that you want to apply to the current SurveyJS object.

options, type: ILoadFromJSONOptions ,

  A new value for the property.

Type:

Event<(sender: Base, options: any) => any, Base, any>

An event that is raised when a property of this SurveyJS object has changed.

Parameters:

• sender: this
  A SurveyJS object whose property has changed.
• options.name: string
  The name of the changed property.
• options.newValue: any
  A new value for the property.
• options.oldValue: any

If you need to add and remove property change event handlers dynamically, use the registerPropertyChangedHandlers and unregisterPropertyChangedHandlers methods instead.

Type:

EventBase<Base, any>

Implemented in:

Base

Registers a single value change handler for one or multiple properties.

The registerPropertyChangedHandlers and unregisterPropertyChangedHandlers methods allow you to manage property change event handlers dynamically. If you only need to attach an event handler without removing it afterwards, you can use the onPropertyChanged event instead.

Type:

(propertyNames: string[], handler: any, key?: string) => void

Parameters:

propertyNames, type: string[] ,

An array of one or multiple property names.

handler, type: any ,

A function to call when one of the listed properties change. Accepts a new property value as an argument.

key, type: string ,

(Optional) A key that identifies the current registration. If a function for one of the properties is already registered with the same key, the function will be overwritten. You can also use the key to subsequently unregister handlers.
