Constructor Detail

Menuitem

public Menuitem()

Menuitem

public Menuitem(java.lang.String label)

Menuitem

public Menuitem(java.lang.String label,
                java.lang.String src)
Method Detail

isCheckmark

public boolean isCheckmark()
Returns whether the check mark shall be displayed in front of each item.

Default: false.

Since:
3.5.0

setCheckmark

public void setCheckmark(boolean checkmark)
Sets whether the check mark shall be displayed in front of each item.

Note the checkbox can be checked only if isAutocheck() is true

Since:
3.5.0

getZclass

public java.lang.String getZclass()
Description copied from class: HtmlBasedComponent
Returns the ZK Cascading Style class(es) for this component. It usually depends on the implementation of the mold (@{link #getMold}).

Default: null (the default value depends on element).

HtmlBasedComponent.setZclass(java.lang.String)) will completely replace the default style of a component. In other words, the default style of a component is associated with the default value of HtmlBasedComponent.getZclass(). Once it is changed, the default style won't be applied at all. If you want to perform small adjustments, use HtmlBasedComponent.setSclass(java.lang.String) instead.

Overrides:
getZclass in class HtmlBasedComponent
See Also:
HtmlBasedComponent.getSclass()

setDisabled

public void setDisabled(boolean disabled)
Sets whether it is disabled.

Specified by:
setDisabled in interface Disable
Since:
3.0.1

isDisabled

public boolean isDisabled()
Returns whether it is disabled.

Default: false.

Specified by:
isDisabled in interface Disable
Since:
3.0.1

getAutodisable

public java.lang.String getAutodisable()
Returns a list of component IDs that shall be disabled when the user clicks this menuitem.

Since:
5.0.7

setAutodisable

public void setAutodisable(java.lang.String autodisable)
Sets a list of component IDs that shall be disabled when the user clicks this menuitem.

To represent the menuitem itself, the developer can specify self. For example, <menuitem id="ok" autodisable="self,cancel"/> is the same as <menuitem id="ok" autodisable="ok,cancel"/> that will disable both the ok and cancel menuitem when an user clicks it.

The menuitem being disabled will be enabled automatically once the client receives a response from the server. In other words, the server doesn't notice if a menuitem is disabled with this method.

However, if you prefer to enable them later manually, you can prefix with '+'. For example, <menuitem id="ok" autodisable="+self,+cancel"/>

Then, you have to enable them manually such as

if (something_happened){
  ok.setDisabled(false);
  cancel.setDisabled(false);

Default: null.

Since:
5.0.7

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()
Returns the value.

Default: "".


setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String value)
Sets the value.


isChecked

public boolean isChecked()
Returns whether it is checked.

Default: false.


setChecked

public void setChecked(boolean checked)
Sets whether it is checked.

This only applies when isCheckmark() = true. (since 3.5.0)


isAutocheck

public boolean isAutocheck()
Returns whether the menuitem check mark will update each time the menu item is selected.

Default: false.


setAutocheck

public void setAutocheck(boolean autocheck)
Sets whether the menuitem check mark will update each time the menu item is selected.

This only applies when isCheckmark() = true. (since 3.5.0)


getHref

public java.lang.String getHref()
Returns the href.

Default: null. If null, the button has no function unless you specify the onClick handler.


setHref

public void setHref(java.lang.String href)
             throws WrongValueException
Sets the href.

Throws:
WrongValueException

getTarget

public java.lang.String getTarget()
Returns the target frame or window.

Note: it is useful only if href (setHref(java.lang.String)) is specified (i.e., use the onClick listener).

Default: null.


setTarget

public void setTarget(java.lang.String target)
Sets the target frame or window.

Parameters:
target - the name of the frame or window to hyperlink.

isTopmost

public boolean isTopmost()
Returns whether this is an top-level menu, i.e., not owning by another Menupopup.


getUpload

public java.lang.String getUpload()
Returns non-null if this button is used for file upload, or null otherwise. Refer to setUpload(java.lang.String) for more details.

Since:
5.0.0

setUpload

public void setUpload(java.lang.String upload)
Sets the JavaScript class at the client to handle the upload if this button is used for file upload.

Default: null.

For example, the following example declares a button for file upload:

<button label="Upload" upload="true"
 onUpload="handle(event.media)"/>

As shown above, after the file is uploaded, an instance of UploadEvent is sent this component.

If you want to customize the handling of the file upload at the client, you can specify a JavaScript class when calling this method: <button upload="foo.Upload"/>

Another options for the upload can be specified as follows:

<button label="Upload" upload="true,maxsize=-1,native"

Parameters:
upload - a JavaScript class to handle the file upload at the client, or "true" if the default class is used, or null or "false" to disable the file download (and then this button behaves like a normal button).
Since:
5.0.0

beforeParentChanged

public void beforeParentChanged(Component parent)
Description copied from class: AbstractComponent
Default: does nothing.

Specified by:
beforeParentChanged in interface ComponentCtrl
Overrides:
beforeParentChanged in class AbstractComponent
Parameters:
parent - the new parent. If null, it means detachment.
See Also:
ComponentCtrl.beforeParentChanged(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Description copied from interface: Component
Clones the component. All of its children and descendants are cloned. Also, ID are preserved.

Specified by:
clone in interface Component
Overrides:
clone in class LabelImageElement
Returns:
the new component. Notice that it doesn't belong to any page, nor desktop. It doesn't have a parent, either.

isChildable

protected boolean isChildable()
Not childable.

Overrides:
isChildable in class AbstractComponent

renderProperties

protected void renderProperties(ContentRenderer renderer)
                         throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from class: HtmlBasedComponent
Renders the content of this component, excluding the enclosing tags and children.

See also ZK Client-side Reference: Property Rendering

Overrides:
renderProperties in class LabelImageElement
Throws:
java.io.IOException

renderCrawlable

protected void renderCrawlable(java.lang.String label)
                        throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from class: LabelElement
Renders the crawlable information. It is called by LabelElement.renderProperties(org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.ContentRenderer), and designed to be overriden if the deriving class wants to generate it differently.

Default: org.zkoss.zul.impl.Utils.renderCrawlableText(label)

Overrides:
renderCrawlable in class LabelElement
Throws:
java.io.IOException

service

public void service(AuRequest request,
                    boolean everError)
Processes an AU request.

Default: in addition to what are handled by HtmlBasedComponent.service(org.zkoss.zk.au.AuRequest, boolean), it also handles onCheck.

Specified by:
service in interface ComponentCtrl
Overrides:
service in class HtmlBasedComponent
everError - whether any error ever occurred before processing this request.
Since:
5.0.0
See Also:
AbstractComponent.setAuService(org.zkoss.zk.au.AuService)

updateByClient

protected void updateByClient(java.lang.String name,
                              java.lang.Object value)
Description copied from class: AbstractComponent
Called when the widget running at the client asks the server to update a value. The update is caused by an AU request named setAttr (by invoking zk.Widget's smartUpdate at client).

By default, it does nothing but log a warning message, since it is not safe to allow the client to update a field arbitary.

However, if you'd like to allow the update for a particular component you could do one of the following

  1. For component developers: override this method to update the field directly. For example,
    protected void updateByClient(String name, Object value) {
            if ("disabled".equals(name))
                    setDisabled(name, ((Boolean)value).booleanValue());
            else
                    super.updateByClient(name, value);
  2. For application developers: set an attribute called org.zkoss.zk.ui.updateByClient to be true. Then, this method will use reflection to find out the setter to update the value. Nothing happens if the method is not found.
  3. Notice: this method will invoke AbstractComponent.disableClientUpdate(boolean) to disable any update to the client, when calling the setter.

    If you wanto enable the client update for all instances of a given component (though not recommended for the security reason), you could refer to here.

    See also zk.Widget.smartUpdate().

    Overrides:
    updateByClient in class AbstractComponent
