Method Detail

getImgTag

public java.lang.String getImgTag()

Description copied from class: LabelImageElement

Returns the HTML IMG tag for the image part, or null if no image is assigned (LabelImageElement.isImageAssigned())

Used only for component development, not for application developers.

Note: the component template shall use this method to generate the HTML tag, instead of using LabelImageElement.getImage().

Overrides:

getImgTag in class LabelImageElement

isTopmost

public boolean isTopmost()

Returns whether this is an top-level menu, i.e., not owning by another Menupopup.

Specified by:

isTopmost in interface Menu

getMenupopup

public Menupopup getMenupopup()

Returns the Menupopup it owns, or null if not available.

getMenupopupApi

public Menupopup getMenupopupApi()

Returns the Menupopup it owns, or null if not available.

Specified by:

getMenupopupApi in interface Menu

Since:

3.5.2

getZclass

public java.lang.String getZclass()

Description copied from class: HtmlBasedComponent

Returns the ZK Cascading Style class(es) for this component. It usually depends on the implementation of the mold (@{link #getMold}).

Default: null (the default value depends on element).

HtmlBasedComponent.setZclass(java.lang.String)) will completely replace the default style of a component. In other words, the default style of a component is associated with the default value of HtmlBasedComponent.getZclass(). Once it is changed, the default style won't be applied at all. If you want to perform small adjustments, use HtmlBasedComponent.setSclass(java.lang.String) instead.

Specified by:

getZclass in interface HtmlBasedComponent

Overrides:

getZclass in class HtmlBasedComponent

See Also:

HtmlBasedComponent.getSclass(), HtmlBasedComponent.getRealSclass()

getOuterAttrs

public java.lang.String getOuterAttrs()

Description copied from class: HtmlBasedComponent

Returns the exterior attributes for generating the enclosing HTML tag; never return null.

Used only by component developers.

Default: Generates the tooltip text, style, sclass, draggable and droppable attribute if necessary. In other words, the corresponding attribute is generated if HtmlBasedComponent.getTooltiptext(), HtmlBasedComponent.getRealStyle(), HtmlBasedComponent.getSclass(), HtmlBasedComponent.getDraggable(), HtmlBasedComponent.getDroppable() are defined.

You have to call both HtmlBasedComponent.getOuterAttrs() and HtmlBasedComponent.getInnerAttrs() to generate complete attributes.

For simple components that all attributes are put on the outest HTML element, all you need is as follows.

<xx id="${self.uuid}"${self.outerAttrs}${self.innerAttrs}>

If you want to put attributes in a nested HTML element, you shall use the following pattern. Notice: if HtmlBasedComponent.getInnerAttrs() in a different tag, the tag must be named with "${self.uuid}!real".

<xx id="${self.uuid}"${self.outerAttrs}>
 <yy id="${self.uuid}!real"${self.innerAttrs}>...

Note: This class handles non-deferrable event listeners automatically. However, you have to invoke AbstractComponent.appendAsapAttr(java.lang.StringBuffer, java.lang.String) for each event the component handles in HtmlBasedComponent.getOuterAttrs() as follows.

        appendAsapAttr(sb, Events.ON_OPEN);
  appendAsapAttr(sb, Events.ON_CHANGE);

Theorectically, you could put any attributes in either HtmlBasedComponent.getInnerAttrs() or HtmlBasedComponent.getOuterAttrs(). However, zkau.js assumes all attributes are put at the outer one. If you want something different, you have to provide your own setAttr (refer to how checkbox is implemented).

Overrides:

getOuterAttrs in class LabelImageElement

getRealStyle

protected java.lang.String getRealStyle()

Description copied from class: HtmlBasedComponent

Returns the real style that will be generated to client (when HtmlBasedComponent.getOuterAttrs() is called).

Default: this method will append width, height and others to HtmlBasedComponent.setStyle(java.lang.String) (never null).

Use HtmlBasedComponent.getRealStyleFlags() to control what attributes to exclude.

Overrides:

getRealStyle in class HtmlBasedComponent

beforeParentChanged

public void beforeParentChanged(Component parent)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Default: does nothing.

Specified by:

beforeParentChanged in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

beforeParentChanged in class AbstractComponent

Parameters:

parent - the new parent. If null, it means detachment.

See Also:

ComponentCtrl.beforeParentChanged(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)

beforeChildAdded

public void beforeChildAdded(Component child,
                             Component refChild)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Default: does nothing.

Specified by:

beforeChildAdded in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

beforeChildAdded in class AbstractComponent

Parameters:

child - the child to be added (never null).

refChild - another child component that the new child will be inserted before it. If null, the new child will be the last child.

See Also:

ComponentCtrl.beforeChildAdded(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)

onChildRemoved

public void onChildRemoved(Component child)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Default: does nothing.

Specified by:

onChildRemoved in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

onChildRemoved in class AbstractComponent

See Also:

ComponentCtrl.onChildRemoved(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)

insertBefore

public boolean insertBefore(Component child,
                            Component refChild)

Description copied from interface: Component

Inserts a child before the reference child.

You could use Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) or Component.appendChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) instead of this method, unless you want to control where to put the child.

Note: Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) always calls back Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) and/or Component.removeChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component), while Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) and Component.removeChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) always calls back Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component), if the parent is changed. Thus, you don't need to override both Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) and Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component), if you want to customize the behavior.

Specified by:

insertBefore in interface Component

Overrides:

insertBefore in class AbstractComponent

Parameters:

child - the new child to be inserted.

refChild - the child before which you want the new child being inserted. If null, the new child is append to the end.

Returns:

true if newChild is added successfully or moved; false if it already has the specified child and the order doesn't change.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Description copied from interface: Component

Clones the component. All of its children is cloned. Notice that the cloned component doesn't belong to any page, nor desktop. It doesn't have parent, either.

Specified by:

clone in interface Component

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractComponent
