Components: <code>grid, columns and column, rows and row, Auxhead and Auxheader</code>
  
A <tt>grid</tt> contains components that are aligned in rows like tables. Inside a <tt>grid</tt>, you declare two things, the <tt>columns</tt>, that define the header and <tt>column</tt> attributes, and the <tt>rows</tt>, that provide the content. To declare a set of rows, use the <tt>rows</tt> component, which should be a child element of <tt>grid</tt>. Inside that you should add <tt>row</tt> components, which are used for each <tt>row</tt>. Inside the <tt>row</tt> element, you should place the content that you want inside that <tt>row</tt>. Each child is a <tt>column</tt> of the specific <tt>row</tt>. Similarly, the <tt>columns</tt> are declared with the <tt>columns</tt> component, which should be placed as a child element of the <tt>grid</tt>. Unlike <tt>row</tt> is used to hold the content of each <tt>row</tt>, <tt>column</tt> declares the common attributes of each <tt>column</tt>, such as the width and alignment, and and optional headers, i.e., label and/or image.

A <code>grid</code> contains components that are aligned in rows like tables. Inside a <code>grid</code> you place <code>columns</code>, <code>rows</code>, and <code>headers</code>.
 +
 
 +
<code>Columns</code> defines the header and <code>column</code> attributes.  They are declared with the <code>columns</code> component and assigned as a child element of the <code>grid</code>. <code>Column</code> declares the common attributes of each <code>column</code> such as the width and alignment. An optional column header may contain objects such as a label and/or image. Although <code>columns</code> is optional, if it exists, notice that the number of its child (<code>column</code>) should equal the number of child in a <code>row</code>. If <code>columns</code> contains no child, the <code>grid</code> will display nothing in its content.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<code>Rows</code> hold the content. They are declared with the <code>rows</code> component and assigned as a child element of <code>grid</code>. Inside <code>rows</code> you should add one <code>row</code> component for each <code>row</code> of the <code>grid</code>. Inside each <code>row</code> element you should place child components which contain the content that you want inside that <code>row</code>. Each child component should align with a <code>column</code> of the specific <code>row</code>.  
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Additional <code>auxiliary headers</code> may be added with the <code>auxhead</code> component. The <code>auxhead</code> must be closely tied with the <code>columns</code> declaration. For more details see the section on Axillary Headers below.

If <code>listbox</code> or <code>grid</code> component is used with a data model, we recommend you control paging from the model directly. Although specifying page size and active page on the component is still supported, model now provides api for paging control, which makes using model more convenient.

There are two ways to handle large content in a grid, scrolling and paging. Scrolling is enabled by setting the <tt>height</tt> attribute as discussed in the previous section. Paging is enabled by setting the <tt>mold</tt> attribute to <tt>paging</tt>. Once paging is enabled, the grid separates the content into several pages and displays one page at a time as depicted below.

Because of that, once enabled, ZK will apply fixed height for each row with the following CSS by default. If you want to change the height, please overwrite the CSS rule as your preference. But this feature only works when each row has the same height.

Grids support the direct sorting of rows. To enable ascending order sorting for a particular column, you need to assign a <tt>java.util.Comparator</tt> instance to the <tt>sortAscending</tt> attribute of the column. Similarly, you assign a comparator to the <tt>sortDescending</tt> property to enable the descending order.

In addition to column headers, you can specify auxiliary headers with the <code>auxhead</code> and <code>auxheader</code> components as follows.

[[Image:ZKComRef_Grid_AuxiliaryHeaders.png]]
Line 432: Line 510:
 
</source>
 
</source>
  
The auxiliary headers support the <tt>colspan</tt> and <tt>rowsspan</tt> attributes that the column header don't. However, as its』 name suggests, the auxiliary headers must be placed within a <tt>column</tt>.
+
The auxiliary headers support the <code>colspan</code> and <code>rowspan</code> attributes that the column headers don't.  Auxiliary headers must be placed in relation to a <code>column</code>.  Without the specific declaration of <code>columns</code> auxiliary headers are ignored.
 +
 
 +
Unlike <code>column</code>/<code>columns</code>, which can only be used with <code>grid</code>, <code>auxhead</code>/<code>auxheader</code> can be used with <code>grid</code>, <code>listbox</code> and <code>tree</code>.
 +
== The Limitation of rowspan ==
 +
For better performance, every instance of [[ZK Component Reference/Data/Grid/Column|Column]] will create an invisible HTML TH element called ''faker''. However, with some complex combination of <code>rowspan</code> and <code>colspan</code>, Grid might not be able to generate the correct number of ''faker'' to represent each column.
 +
 
 +
For example, it is wrong if the number of the column components are not the same as the number of columns in each row as shown below:
 +
 
 +
<source lang="xml" >
 +
<grid width="200px">
 +
<auxhead>
 +
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
 +
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
 +
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
 +
</auxhead>
 +
<columns><!-- this is wrong since the number of column components is smaller -->
 +
<column label="B"/>
 +
<column label="C"/>
 +
</columns>
 +
<rows>
 +
<row>
 +
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/><!-- four columns -->
 +
</row>
 +
</rows>
 +
</grid>
 +
</source>
 +
 
 +
[[File:Auxheader_rowspan_limitation.jpg]]
 +
 
 +
As shown above, the column with label C will be invisible, because the fakers are not created correctly. Here is the result but wrong DOM structure:
 +
 
 +
[[File:Auxheader_rowspan_limitation01.jpg]]
 +
 
 +
There is a simple workaround: specify all columns. If you don't want to show all columns, you could use Auxheader instead of Column, and then add an empty [[ZK Component Reference/Data/Grid/Columns|Columns]]. For example, the code in the previous example can be fixed as follows:
 +
 
 +
<source lang="xml" highlight="11">
 +
<grid width="200px">
 +
<auxhead>
 +
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
 +
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
 +
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
 +
</auxhead>
 +
<auxhead>
 +
<auxheader label="B"/>
 +
<auxheader label="C"/>
 +
</auxhead>
 +
<columns/> <!-- use an empty columns to make fakers created correctly -->
 +
<rows>
 +
<row>
 +
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/>
 +
</row>
 +
</rows>
 +
</grid>
 +
</source>
 +
 
 +
[[File:Auxheader_rowspan_limitation02.jpg]]
  
Unlike <tt>column</tt>/<tt>columns</tt>, which can only be used with <tt>grid</tt>, <tt>auhead</tt>/<tt>auxheader</tt> can be used with <tt>grid</tt>, <tt>listbox</tt> and <tt>tree</tt>.
+
The other limitation is that the width of the Auxheader component will depend the Column component. Thus, if you'd like to specify the width in the Column component, please note that it will take some space even if there are no label in all Column components. The workaround is simple: make the empty Columns component invisible. For example,
 +
 
 +
<source lang="xml"  highlight="11">
 +
<grid width="350px">
 +
<auxhead>
 +

By default, the widths of columns have to be specified explicitly, or it will be split equally among columns regardless what content they might have. If you want to have the minimal width (that fit the content), you could specify <code>hflex="min"</code> at the column (not the grid).
+
By default, Grid evenly distributes the total width among each column, so each column has the same width. However, if you specify this attribute to true,  Grid will adjust each column width to just fit its content automatically. However, as it is controlled by a browser, you will have no 100% control of it.  
  
However, the grid has a special mode called sized-by-content (<javadoc method="setSizedByContent(boolean)">org.zkoss.zul.Grid</javadoc>). By specifying it to true, the column width will be adjusted automatically. However, it is controlled by the browser, so have have no 100% control of it. For example, if an user resized a column, the final width might not be exactly the same as what he resized.
+

Grid

Employment/Purpose

Components: grid, columns and column, rows and row, Auxhead and Auxheader


A grid contains components that are aligned in rows like tables. Inside a grid you place columns, rows, and headers.

Columns defines the header and column attributes. They are declared with the columns component and assigned as a child element of the grid. Column declares the common attributes of each column such as the width and alignment. An optional column header may contain objects such as a label and/or image. Although columns is optional, if it exists, notice that the number of its child (column) should equal the number of child in a row. If columns contains no child, the grid will display nothing in its content.


Rows hold the content. They are declared with the rows component and assigned as a child element of grid. Inside rows you should add one row component for each row of the grid. Inside each row element you should place child components which contain the content that you want inside that row. Each child component should align with a column of the specific row.


Additional auxiliary headers may be added with the auxhead component. The auxhead must be closely tied with the columns declaration. For more details see the section on Axillary Headers below.

Paging

The listbox and grid components support the paging intrinsically, so you don't need to specify a paging component explicitly as above unless you want to have different visual layout or to control multiple listbox and gridcontrols with one paging component.

Data Model with Paging

Since 8.0.0

If listbox or grid component is used with a data model, we recommend you control paging from the model directly. Although specifying page size and active page on the component is still supported, model now provides api for paging control, which makes using model more convenient.

    <zscript><![CDATA[
    import org.zkoss.zul.ext.Pageable;

	List model = new ListModelList(Locale.getAvailableLocales());
	public void next(){
	     int activePage = ((Pageable)model).getActivePage();
        ((Pageable)model).setActivePage(activePage + 1);
	}

    public void previous(){
        int activePage = ((Pageable)model).getActivePage();
        if (--activePage < 0 ){
            activePage = 0;
        }
        ((Pageable)model).setActivePage(activePage);
    }
	]]></zscript>
    <grid model="${model}" mold="paging" pageSize="5">
        <columns>
            <column label="Locale"/>
        </columns>
        <template name="model">
            <row>
                ${each}
            </row>
        </template>
    </grid>
    <button label="Next" onClick="next()"/>
    <button label="Previous" onClick="previous()"/>

Grids with Paging

There are two ways to handle large content in a grid: scrolling and paging. Scrolling is enabled by setting the height attribute as discussed in the previous section. Paging is enabled by setting the mold attribute to paging. Once paging is enabled, the grid separates the content into several pages and displays one page at a time as depicted below.

</grid>

Once the paging mold is set, the grid creates an instance of a Paging component as the Grid's child and the paging component in turn handles the Grid's paging. Therefore, the number of the Grid's children includes the paging component. Also, if you remove all children of the grid, the paging is also removed.

The PageSize Property

Having set the paging mold, you can specify how many rows are visible at a time (i.e., the page size) by setting the pageSize attribute to a numeric value. By default, it is 20.

The Paginal Property

If you prefer to place the Paging component in a different location or if you want to control two or more grids with the same Paging, you can assign the paginal attribute explicitly. Note: if it is not set explicitly, it is the same as the paging property.

The Paging Property

It is a read-only attribute representing the child Paging component that is created automatically. It is null if you assign external paging via the paginal attribute. You rarely need to access this attribute as it is generally better to use the paginal attribute.

The PagingDisabled Property

Since 8.0.3 Once the pagingDisabled is set to true, users will be blocked from navigating through the pagination.

The onPaging Event and Method

Once a user clicks the page number of the paging component, an onPaging event is sent the grid. It is then processed by the onPaging method. By default, the method invalidates, i.e., redraws, the content of rows.

If you want to implement "create-on-demand" feature, you can add a event listener to the grid for the onPaging event. The line below demonstrates how to add an EventListener.

grid.addEventListener(org.zkoss.zul.event.ZulEvents.ON_PAGING, new MyListener());


Autopaging

Since 5.0.2

When using the paging mold and vflex, you could also turn on autopaging (Grid.setAutopaging(boolean)) such that the page size will be adjusted automatically based on the available space.

For example,

<grid id="grid" autopaging="true" mold="paging" vflex="1">
    <columns>
        <column label="column1"/>
    </columns>
    <rows>
        <row forEach="${items}">
         ${each}
        </row>
    </rows>
</grid>

Grid autopageSize.png

Note: Autopaging depends on a fixed row height for all rows (i.e. you can't use line wrapping text in cells or the `<details>` component). Because of that, once enabled, ZK will apply fixed height for each row with the following CSS by default. If you want to change the height, please overwrite the CSS rule as your preference. But this feature only works when each row has the same height.

.z-grid-autopaging .z-row-cnt {
	height: 30px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

Since 5.0.8 Note: In ZK 7, we change the naming .z-row-cnt to .z-row-content. Since 7.0.3

Sort

Sorting

Grids support the direct sorting of rows. To enable ascending order sorting for a particular column, you need to assign a java.util.Comparator instance to the sortAscending attribute of the column. Similarly, you assign a comparator to the sortDescending property to enable the descending order.

As illustrated below, you first implement a comparator that compares any two rows of the grid, and then assign its instances to the sortAscending and/or sortDescending attributes. Notice: the compare method is passed two Row instances.

<zk>
    <zscript>
         class MyRowComparator implements Comparator {
             public MyRowComparator(boolean ascending) {
             ...
             }
             public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
                 Row r1 = (Row)o1, r2 = (Row)o2;
                 ....
             }
         }
         Comparator asc = new MyRowComparator(true);
         Comparator dsc = new MyRowComparator(false);
    </zscript>
    <grid>
        <columns>
            <column sortAscending="${asc}" sortDescending="${dsc}"/>
 ...

The onSort Event

When you assign at least one comparator to a column, an onSort event is sent to the server if user clicks on it. The column component implements a listener to automatically sort rows based on the assigned comparator.

If you prefer to handle this manually, you can add your own listener to the column for the onSort event. To prevent the default listener to invoking the sort method, you have to call the stopPropagation method for the event being received. Alternatively, you can override the sort method, see below.


The sortDirection Property

The sortDirection property controls whether to show an icon to indicate the order of a particular column. If rows are sorted before being added to the grid, you should set this property explicitly.

<column sortDirection="ascending"/>

It is then maintained automatically by the grid as long as you assign the comparators to the corresponding column.

The sort Method

The sort method is the underlying implementation of the default onSort event listener. It is also useful if you want to sort the rows using Java code. For example, you might have to call this method after adding rows (assuming they not in the proper order).

Row row = new Row();
row.setParent(rows);
row.appendChild(...);
...
if (!"natural".column.getSortDirection())
	column.sort("ascending".equals(column.getSortDirection()));

The default sorting algorithm is quick-sort (by use of the sort method from the Components class). You can override it with your own implementation.

Note: the sort method checks the sort direction (by calling getSortDirection). It sorts the rows only if the sort direction is different. To enforce the sorting, do as follows.

column.setSortDirection("natural");
sort(myorder);

The above code is equivalent to the following.

sort(myorder, true);

Update: see more about sorting Multiple Field Sorting on Listbox.

Live Data

Like list boxes, grids support live data. With live data, developers are able to separate the data from the view. In other words, developers only need to provide the data by implementing the ListModel interface, rather than manipulating the grid directly. The benefits are twofold.

  • It is easier to use different views to show the same set of data.
  • The grid sends the data to the client only if it is visible. It saves a lot of network traffic if the amount of data is large.

There are three steps to make use of live data.

1 Prepare the data in the form of a ListModel. ZK has a concrete implementation called SimpleListModel for representing an array of objects. 2 Implement the RowRenderer interface for rendering a row of data into the grid.

    • This is optional. If it is not specified the default renderer is used to render the data into the first column.
    • You can implement different renderers for representing the same data in different views.

3 Set the data in the model attribute and, optionally, the renderer in the rowRenderer attribute.

In the following example, we prepared a list model called strset, assign it to a grid using the model attribute. Then, the grid will do the rest.

ZKComRef Grid LiveData.png

<window title="Live Grid" border="normal" width="100px">
    <zscript><![CDATA[
        String[] data = new String[30];
        for(int j=0; j < data.length; ++j) {
            data[j] = "option "+j;
        }
        ListModel strset = new SimpleListModel(data);
        ]]></zscript>
    <grid height="100px" model="${strset}">
        <columns>
            <column label="options"/>
        </columns>
    </grid>
</window>

Sorting with Live Data

If you allow users to sort a grid with live data, you have to implement the interface, ListModelExt, in addition to the ListModel.

class MyListModel implements ListModel, ListModelExt {
	public void sort(Comparator cmpr, boolean ascending) {
		//do the real sorting
		//notify the grid (or listbox) that data is changed by use of ListDataEvent
	}
}

When a user wants to sort the grid, the grid will invoke the sort method of ListModelExt to sort the data. In other words, the sorting is done by the list model, rather than the grid.

After sorting, the list model will notify the grid by invoking the onChange method of the grid's registered ListDataListener instances. These are registered by the addListDataListener method. In most cases, all the data is changed, so the list model usually sends the following event:

new ListDataEvent(this, ListDataEvent.CONTENTS_CHANGED, -1, -1)

Scroll to a Specific Item

Since  8.5.2

You can call scrollToIndex(int) to scroll a Grid to a specific item, and this even works under ROD.


Scrollable Grid

ZKComRef Grid ScrollableGrid.png

A grid can be scrollable and has a frozen header if you specify the height attribute and there is not enough space to display all data.

<grid span="true" sizedByContent="true" width="500px" height="130px">
    <columns>
        <column label="Head 1"/>
        <column label="Head 2" align="center"/>
        <column label="Head 3" align="right"/>
    </columns>
    <rows>
        <row>
            <listbox mold="select">
                <listitem label="Faster"/>
                <listitem label="Fast"/>
                <listitem label="Average"/>
            </listbox>
            <datebox/>
            <textbox rows="2"/>
        </row>
        <row>
            <checkbox checked="true" label="Option 1"/>
            <checkbox label="Option 2"/>
            <radiogroup>
                <radio label="Apple"/>
                <radio label="Orange" checked="true"/>
                <radio label="Lemon"/>
            </radiogroup>
        </row>
        <row>
            <checkbox checked="true" label="Option 1"/>
            <checkbox label="Option 2"/>
            <radiogroup orient="vertical">
                <radio label="Apple"/>
                <radio label="Orange" checked="true"/>
                <radio label="Lemon"/>
            </radiogroup>
        </row>
    </rows>
</grid>

Since 7.0.0

The browser's default scrollbar is replaced by floating scrollbar and it is not visible unless user mouse over on the content. To turn off the floating scrollbar and use original scrollbar, please add the following configuration in zk.xml.

<library-property>
    <name>org.zkoss.zul.nativebar</name>
    <value>true</value>
</library-property>

Note: the value of org.zkoss.zul.nativebar is true by default (since 7.0.2)

Auxiliary Headers

In addition to column headers, you can specify auxiliary headers with the auxhead and auxheader components as follows.

ZKComRef Grid AuxiliaryHeaders.png

<grid>
    <auxhead>
        <auxheader label="H1'07" colspan="6"/>
        <auxheader label="H2'07" colspan="6"/>
    </auxhead>
    <auxhead>
        <auxheader label="Q1" colspan="3"/>
        <auxheader label="Q2" colspan="3"/>
        <auxheader label="Q3" colspan="3"/>
        <auxheader label="Q4" colspan="3"/>
    </auxhead>
    <columns>
        <column label="Jan"/><column label="Feb"/><column label="Mar"/>
        <column label="Apr"/><column label="May"/><column label="Jun"/>
        <column label="Jul"/><column label="Aug"/><column label="Sep"/>
        <column label="Oct"/><column label="Nov"/><column label="Dec"/>
    </columns>
    <rows>
        <row>
        <label value="1,000"/><label value="1,100"/><label value="1,200"/>
        <label value="1,300"/><label value="1,400"/><label value="1,500"/>
        <label value="1,600"/><label value="1,700"/><label value="1,800"/>
        <label value="1,900"/><label value="2,000"/><label value="2,100"/>
        </row>
    </rows>
</grid>

The auxiliary headers support the colspan and rowspan attributes that the column headers don't. Auxiliary headers must be placed in relation to a column. Without the specific declaration of columns auxiliary headers are ignored.

Unlike column/columns, which can only be used with grid, auxhead/auxheader can be used with grid, listbox and tree.

The Limitation of rowspan

For better performance, every instance of Column will create an invisible HTML TH element called faker. However, with some complex combination of rowspan and colspan, Grid might not be able to generate the correct number of faker to represent each column.

For example, it is wrong if the number of the column components are not the same as the number of columns in each row as shown below:

<grid width="200px">
	<auxhead>
		<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
		<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
		<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
	</auxhead>
	<columns><!-- this is wrong since the number of column components is smaller -->
		<column label="B"/>
		<column label="C"/>
	</columns>
	<rows>
		<row>
			<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/><!-- four columns -->
		</row>
	</rows>
</grid>

Auxheader rowspan limitation.jpg

As shown above, the column with label C will be invisible, because the fakers are not created correctly. Here is the result but wrong DOM structure:

Auxheader rowspan limitation01.jpg

There is a simple workaround: specify all columns. If you don't want to show all columns, you could use Auxheader instead of Column, and then add an empty Columns. For example, the code in the previous example can be fixed as follows:

<grid width="200px">
	<auxhead>
		<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
		<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
		<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
	</auxhead>
	<auxhead>
		<auxheader label="B"/>
		<auxheader label="C"/>
	</auxhead>
	<columns/> <!-- use an empty columns to make fakers created correctly -->
	<rows>
		<row>
			<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/>
		</row>
	</rows>
</grid>

Auxheader rowspan limitation02.jpg

The other limitation is that the width of the Auxheader component will depend the Column component. Thus, if you'd like to specify the width in the Column component, please note that it will take some space even if there are no label in all Column components. The workaround is simple: make the empty Columns component invisible. For example,

<grid width="350px">
	<auxhead>
		<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
		<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
		<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
	</auxhead>
	<auxhead>
		<auxheader label="B"/>
		<auxheader label="C"/>
	</auxhead>
	<columns visible="false"><!-- make it invisible -->
		<column width="100px"/><!-- specify width here -->
		<column width="150px"/>
		<column width="50px"/>
		<column width="50px"/>
	</columns>
	<rows>
		<row>
			<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/>
		</row>
	</rows>
</grid>

Auxheader rowspan limitation03.jpg

Properties

SizedByContent

By default, Grid evenly distributes the total width among each column, so each column has the same width. However, if you specify this attribute to true, Grid will adjust each column width to just fit its content automatically. However, as it is controlled by a browser, you will have no 100% control of it.

In general, we suggest specifying hflex="min" in a column, rather than specifying sizedByContent a grid for a much more predictable result.

Span

By default, when sizedByContent is true, a column only takes the required space.

ZKComRef Grid Nospan.png

If you want to span the width of the columns to occupy the whole grid, you could specify true to this attribute

ZKComRef Grid Span.png

	<grid sizedByContent="true" span="true" width="800px">
		<columns>
			<column label="Time Message" />
			<column label="Level" />
			<column label="Source " />
			<column label="Message" />
		</columns>
		<rows>
			<row>
				<label value="6/28/10 4:19:18 PM" />
				<label value="Info, long content.........................." />
				<label value="Server" />
				<label value="Merging recovery point 52 created 20 6/27/10 10 :11 PM" />
			</row>
		</rows>
	</grid>

Conflict with hflex

hflex means to determine the width by specified proportion values, but sizedbyContent means to determine the widths by content. By definitions, these 2 attributes conflict with each other. You should use either one of them.

emptyMessage

Since 5.0.7 Specify a string at this attribute to show a message when a Grid has no items.

		<grid emptyMessage="No items match your search">
		</grid>

Sizable

If you allow users to resize the width of your columns, you can set the sizable attribute of your columns as true. Once allowed, users can resize the widths of columns by dragging the border between adjacent column components.

<window>
    <grid>
        <columns id="cs" sizable="true">
            <column label="AA"/>
            <column label="BB"/>
            <column label="CC"/>
        </columns>
        <rows>
            <row>
                <label value="AA01"/>
                <label value="BB01"/>
                <label value="CC01"/>
            </row>
            <row>
                <label value="AA01"/>
                <label value="BB01"/>
                <label value="CC01"/>
            </row>
            <row>
                <label value="AA01"/>
                <label value="BB01"/>
                <label value="CC01"/>
            </row>
        </rows>
    </grid>
    <checkbox label="sizeable" checked="true" onCheck="cs.sizeable = self.checked"/>
</window>

Auto Fitting Columns

Since 5.0.0 When you want to resize a column of a Grid or Listbox, all you now need to do is double-click the column when the mouse is over where the columns meet and the column will automatically resize to fit its contents. To enable this functionality Grid's columns need the attribute sizable="true". In other words, all sizable column provides the auto-fitting functionality.


The onColSize Event

Once a user resizes the width, the onColSize event is sent with an instance of ColSizeEvent. Notice that the column's width is adjusted before the onColSize event is sent. In other words, the event serves as a notification that you can ignore. Of course, you can do whatever you want in the event listener.

Spans

It is a list of comma-separated integers, controlling whether to span a cell over several columns. The first number in the list denotes the number of columns the first cell shall span. The second number denotes the number of columns the second cell will span and so on. If a number is omitted, 1 is assumed.

For example,

<grid>
    <columns>
        <column label="Left" align="left"/><column label="Center" align="center"/>
        <column label="Right" align="right"/><column label="Column 4"/>
        <column label="Column 5"/><column label="Column 6"/>
    </columns>
    <rows>
        <row>
            <label value="Item A.1"/><label value="Item A.2"/>
            <label value="Item A.3"/><label value="Item A.4"/>
            <label value="Item A.5"/><label value="Item A.6"/>
        </row>
        <row spans="1,2,2">
            <label value="Item B.1"/><label value="Item B.2"/>
            <label value="Item B.4"/><label value="Item B.6"/>
        </row>
        <row spans="3">
            <label value="Item C.1"/><label value="Item C.4"/>
            <label value="Item C.5"/><label value="Item C.6"/>
        </row>
        <row spans=",,2,2">
            <label value="Item D.1"/><label value="Item D.2"/>
            <label value="Item D.3"/><label value="Item D.5"/>
        </row>
    </rows>
</grid>

Visible Rows

Since 8.5.0

The visibleRows attribute is used to control how many rows are visible. By setting it to zero, the grid will resize itself to hold as many as items if possible.

Sticky Header

Since 9.6.0

After adding a sclass "z-sticky-header", when we scroll down a page and make a Grid's header out of visible range in a viewport, the Grid's header becomes floating and sticky on the top of the page.

  <grid sclass="z-sticky-header">
    <!-- columns, rows... -->
  </grid>

Master Detail

  • Available for ZK:
  • http://www.zkoss.org/product/zkhttp://www.zkoss.org/whyzk/zkeeVersion ee.png

Grid supports master-detail layout which enables developers to add more information on each row. For example,

ZKComRef Grid Detail.png

	<rows>
		<row>
			<detail open="true">
				<hlayout>
					<image sclass="myimg" width="100px" height="100px"
						src="/img/item1.jpg" />
					// omitted...
				</hlayout>
			</detail>

Columns Menu

For example,

ZKComRef Grid Columns Menu.png

<zk>
	<grid>
		<columns menupopup="auto">
			<column label="Author" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Title" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Publisher" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Hardcover" sort="auto"/>
		</columns>
		// omitted...
	</grid>
</zk>

Ungroup Column Menu

When the user groups the content of the grid, the column's menu will show an ungroup icon for user to reset the group.

  • Available for ZK:
  • http://www.zkoss.org/product/zkhttp://www.zkoss.org/whyzk/zkeeVersion ee.png

Since 6.5.0

ZKComRef Grid Columns Menu Ungroup.PNG

Note: If the Grid contains with Model, GroupsModel, you have to register an onUngroup event for column to show an ungroup icon and then replace the current model with a ListModel to reset the group.

For example,

<zk>
    <zscript><![CDATA[
  int cnt = 0;
Object[][] foods = new Object[][] {
    new Object[] { "Vegetables", "Asparagus", "Vitamin K", 115, 43},
    new Object[] { "Vegetables", "Beets", "Folate", 33, 74},
    new Object[] { "Vegetables", "Tomatoes", "Vitamin C", 57, 37},
    new Object[] { "Seafood", "Salmon", "Tryptophan", 103, 261},
    new Object[] { "Seafood", "Cod", "Tryptophan", 90, 119}
};
public class FoodGroupRenderer implements RowRenderer {
    public void render(Row row, Object obj, int index) {
        if (row instanceof Group) {
            row.appendChild(new Label(obj.toString()));
        } else {
            Object[] data = (Object[]) obj;
            row.appendChild(new Label(data[0].toString()));
            row.appendChild(new Label(data[1].toString()));
            row.appendChild(new Label(data[2].toString()));
            row.appendChild(new Label(data[3].toString()));
            row.appendChild(new Label(data[4].toString()));
        }
    }
}
ListModelList listmodel = new ListModelList();
for (int i = 0; i < foods.length; i++)
	listmodel.add(foods[i]);
RowRenderer renderer = new FoodGroupRenderer();
GroupsModel model = new GroupsModelArray(foods, new ArrayComparator(0, true));
    ]]></zscript>
    <grid id="grid" model="${model}" rowRenderer="${renderer}">
        <columns menupopup="auto">
            <column label="Category" sort="auto(0)" onGroup='grid.setModel(model)' onUngroup='grid.setModel(listmodel);'/>
            <column label="Name" sort="auto(1)"/>
            <column label="Top Nutrients" sort="auto(2)"/>
            <column label="% of Daily" sort="auto(3)"/>
            <column label="Calories" sort="auto(4)"/>
        </columns>
    </grid>
</zk>

Cell Component

In ZK5, we have introduced a new component named Cell which can be embedded into a Grid or Box (Hbox and Vbox) to fully control the layout and the style. You can now use the rowspan or the colspan property to layout your Grid, for example a content cell can now cross over multiple rows. The code below demonstrates how to do this:

<row>
    <cell sclass="years" rowspan="12">
        ...
    </cell>
</row>

Since 5.0.0

Group Component

Both Grid, and Listbox support Grouping concept, it enables developers to display data in an advanced way. Moreover, live data are also supported in Grouping Grid, and Listbox with the GroupsModel interface..

<zk>
	<zscript>
	import org.zkoss.zkdemo.userguide.*;
	Comparator asc = new RowLabelComparator(true),
		dsc = new RowLabelComparator(false);

	<grid>
		<columns sizable="true">
			<column label="Brand" sortAscending="&#36;{asc}" sortDescending="&#36;{dsc}"/>
			<column label="Processor Type" width="150px"/>

		</rows>
	</grid>
</zk>
*Available in ZK PE and EE only

Frozen Component

In ZK 5 you are now able to freeze columns within a Grid and Listbox. This mirrors functionality seen within Excel and makes data in these components easier to read, interpret and handle.

The following code demonstrates how to freeze a column within a Grid:

<grid>
	<frozen style="background: #dfded8" columns="3">
		...
	</frozen>
</grid>

Since 5.0.0
