There are two methods to get and set widget options.

The first method uses jQuery selectors directly. For example, the code below shows how to get or set the allowPaging options on a wijgrid widget using a jQuery selector.

// getter
var value = $(".selector").wijgrid("option", "allowPaging");

// setter
$(".selector").wijgrid("option", "allowPaging", true);

The second method uses jQuery selectors to retrieve the widget instance, and the option method on the widget to get or set the option. For example, the code below shows how to get or set the allowPaging option on a wijgrid widget using the widget instance.

var widgetInstance = $(".selector").data("wijmo-wijgrid");

// getter
var value = widgetInstance.option("allowPaging");

// setter
widgetInstance.option("allowPaging", true);
