Hbox

Employment/Purpose

The hbox component is used to create a horizontally oriented box. Each component placed in the hbox will be placed horizontally in a row.

Notice that hbox and vbox are designed to provide more sophisticated layout, such as splitter, alignment and packing. If you need only the layout feature, it is suggest to use Hlayout and Vlayout instead, since the performance is much better (due to the use of HTML DIV instead of TABLE).

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:

<hbox>
    <cell sclass="years">
        ...
    </cell>
</hbox>
