Hflex (HtmlBasedComponent.setHflex(String)) and vflex (HtmlBasedComponent.setVflex(String)) indicate the flexibility of the component, which indicates how an component's parent distributes remaining empty space among its children. Hflex controls the flexibility in the horizontal direction, while vflex the vertical direction.

Flexible components grow and shrink to fit their given space. Components with larger flex values will be made larger than components with lower flex values, at the ratio determined by the two components. The actual value is not relevant unless there are other flexible components within the same container. Once the default sizes of components in a box are calculated, the remaining space in the box is divided among the flexible components, according to their flex ratios. Specifying a flex value of 0 has the same effect as leaving the flex attribute out entirely.

Fit-the-Rest Flexibility

The simplest use of flex is to have one component to take the rest of the space of its parent (or the page, if it is the root component). For example,

<zk>
	<calendar/>
	<div vflex="1" style="background: yellow"/>
</zk>
