Method Detail

setShadowHost

void setShadowHost(Component host,
                   Component insertBefore)
Sets the owner component that hosts this shadow element.

Parameters:
host - the host of the shadow element
insertBefore - a component or a shadow element to indicate where the shadow's insertion point is added.

beforeHostChildRemoved

void beforeHostChildRemoved(Component child,
                            int indexOfChild)
Called before the host removing a child.

Parameters:
child - the child to be removed (never null)
indexOfChild - the index of the removed child

beforeHostParentChanged

void beforeHostParentChanged(Component parent)
Called before the host changing the parent.

Parameters:
parent - the new parent. If null, it means detachment.

beforeHostChildAdded

void beforeHostChildAdded(Component child,
                          Component insertBefore,
                          int indexOfInsertBefore)
Called before the host adding a child.

Parameters:
child - the child to be added (never null).
insertBefore - another child component that the new child will be inserted before it. If null, the new child will be the last child.
indexOfInsertBefore - the index of the insertBefore, if any. Otherwise -1 is assumed.

afterHostChildAdded

void afterHostChildAdded(Component child,
                         int indexOfChild)
Called when a child is added to the host.

Parameters:
child - the child has been added (never null).
indexOfChild - the index of the added child.

afterHostChildRemoved

void afterHostChildRemoved(Component child)
Called when a child is removed to the host.

Parameters:
child - the child has been added (never null).

isDynamicValue

boolean isDynamicValue()
Returns whether the shadow element contains a dynamic value, it means the shadow element cannot be destroyed after evaluated.


getShadowHostIfAny

Component getShadowHostIfAny()
Return the shadow host from it or its ancestor, if any.

Returns:
null or a host component

resolveVariable

java.lang.Object resolveVariable(Component child,
                                 java.lang.String name,
                                 boolean recurse)
Returns the variable associated with this base component or null if not found.

Notice that it doesn't check any variable defined in VariableResolver (of Page.addVariableResolver(org.zkoss.xel.VariableResolver)).

Parameters:
child - the child component of the shadow host
recurse - whether to look up the parent shadow for the existence of the variable.
If recurse is true, it will look up all parents until found.

getNextInsertion

Component getNextInsertion()
Returns the next insertion point, it may be a component, a shadow element, or null.


getPreviousInsertion

Component getPreviousInsertion()
Returns the previous insertion point, it may be a component, a shadow element, or null.


getFirstInsertion

Component getFirstInsertion()
Returns the first component of its insertion range.


getLastInsertion

Component getLastInsertion()
Returns the last component of its insertion range.


onHostChildAdded

void onHostChildAdded(Component child)
Called when a child of a host is added into this shadow element.


onHostChildRemoved

void onHostChildRemoved(Component child)
Called when a child of a host is added into this shadow element.
