Html Macro Component

Employment/Purpose

The base class for macro components.

Since 5.0.4 By default invoking HtmlMacroComponent.afterCompose() supports auto forward events and wire accessible variables to this component.

For example, (usemacro.zul)

<?init zscript="macro.zs"?>
<?component name="username" macroURI="macro.zul" class="Username"?>
<window id="wnd">
	<username id="ua"/>
	<username label="Account"/>
</window>

(macro.zs)

import org.zkoss.zk.ui.*;
import org.zkoss.zul.*;

public class Username extends HtmlMacroComponent {
	Button btn; // auto wire
	
	// auto forward
	public void onClick$btn () {
		System.out.println("success... and btn varible is not null : " + (btn != null));
	}
};

(macro.zul)

<grid id="mc_grid">
	<rows>
		<row id="r">
			<button label="${empty arg.label ? 'Username': arg.label}" id="btn"/>
		</row>
	</rows>
</grid>

If you want to turn off the auto wiring mechanism, please refer to the following steps:

Turn off auto wire mechanism by specifying the Library Property "org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autowire.disabled" to "true" in WEB-INF/zk.xml. If you did not specify the Library Property, the default is false.

<library-property>
	<name>org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autowire.disabled</name>
    	<value>true</value>
</library-property>

or turn off auto forward events by specifying the Library Property "org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autoforward.disabled" to "true" in WEB-INF/zk.xml. If you did not specify the Library Property, the default is false.

<library-property>
	<name>org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autoforward.disabled</name>
    	<value>true</value>
</library-property>


In the early version, if you want to apply the auto-wiring, you can invoke Components.wireVariables(Component, Object) in HtmlMacroComponent.afterCompose() as follows.

public void afterCompose() {
    super.afterCompose(); //create components

    Components.wireVariables(this, this);
    Components.addForward(this, this);
}
