&nbsplistItems

Type:

array

Default:

null

Elements Type:
Sets gets list of items which are used for drop-down list, spin, validation and auto-complete functionality.

        //Set
        $(".selector").igNumericEditor("option", "regional", "en-US");

&nbsprenderInContainer

Type:

bool

Default:

false
Sets gets option to wrap input field into SPAN..
That option can be set only on initialization and it is available only when base element is INPUT or TEXTAREA.
If drop-down button or spin-buttons are enabled or the theme is set, then that option has no effect.
The reason for that property is to allow vertical alignment of several igEditor controls when they are located in html inline and some of them have enabled buttons.
If all editors are created within SPAN wrapper, then they will appear on the same line. Otherwise, editors in SPANs will be shifted 3-6 pixels above INPUT editors.
Code Sample
```
 
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igNumericEditor({
            renderInContainer : true
        });

        //Get
        var inContainer = $(".selector").igNumericEditor("option", "renderInContainer");

        $(".selector").igNumericEditor({
            width : 200
        });

        //Get
        var width = $(".selector").igNumericEditor("option", "width");

        //Set
        $(".selector").igNumericEditor("option", "width", 200);

&nbspbuttonClick

Cancellable:: false

Event which is raised when button was clicked by mouse.
Function takes argument evt.
Use ui.owner to obtain reference to igEditor.

&nbspfocus

Cancellable:: false

Event which is raised when input field of editor gets focus.
