Fileupload

• Demonstration: FileUpload
• Java API: Fileupload
• JavaScript API: Fileupload

Employment/Purpose

There are two ways to use Fileupload: uses Fileupload as a component to upload files, or invoke Fileupload.get() to open a dialog to upload files.

Invoke the Static Method: get

Fileupload provides a set of static methods to simplify the file uploading, such as Fileupload.get(), Fileupload.get(String, String), and so on.

The behavior is a little bit different depending on if the event thread is enabled (default: it is disabled).

Specify the target component

Since 5.0.2, if the event thread is disabled, an onUpload event is posted to all root components when the upload dialog is closed.

If you want the event being sent to a particular component, specify the component in the desktop's attribute called org.zkoss.zul.Fileupload.target.

For example,

desktop.setAttribute("org.zkoss.zul.Fileupload.target", mainWindow);
Fileupload.get(); //then mainWindow will receive the onUpload event

Example

<image id="img" />
Upload your hot shot:
<fileupload onUpload="img.setContent(event.media)" />
