      • getWidgetClass

        public java.lang.String getWidgetClass()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns the widget class (a.k.a., the widget type), or null if not available. The widget class is a JavaScript class, including the package name. For example, "zul.wnd.Window".

        Default: the widget class is decided by the component definition (ComponentDefinition) and the mold (Component.getMold()).

        To override in Java, you could invoke Component.setWidgetClass(java.lang.String). To override in ZUML, you could use the client namespace as follows.

        
                <window xmlns:w="http://www.zkoss.org/2005/zk/client"
                w:use="foo.MyWindow">
                </window>
        

        Note: for Ajax devices, the widget class must be non-null.

      • setWidgetClass

        public void setWidgetClass​(java.lang.String s)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets the widget class (a.k.a., the widget type). The widget class is a JavaScript class, including the package name. For example, "zul.wnd.Window".
        Specified by:
        setWidgetClass in interface Component
        Parameters:
        s - the widget's class name at the client side. If null (or empty), the default one is used (see Component.getWidgetClass()).
      • getId

        public java.lang.String getId()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns the ID.

        Default: "" (an empty string; it means no ID at all).

        If a component belongs to an ID space (see IdSpace), the ID must also be unique in the ID space it belongs. any its parent and ancestor implements IdSpace. If it is a root component (i.e., without any parent), its ID must be unique among root components of the same page.

        A page itself is also an ID space, so you could retrieve components in a page by use of IdSpace.getFellow(java.lang.String), unless the component is a descendant of another component that implements IdSpace. In this case, you have to retrieve the parent first (by use of IdSpace.getFellow(java.lang.String) and then use Component.getFellow(java.lang.String) against the owner of the ID space.

        In zscript and EL, a component with explicit ID can be accessed directly by the ID.

      • setId

        public void setId​(java.lang.String s)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets the ID. The scope of uniqueness depends on whether this component is a root component. Refer to Component.getId() for more details.

        Default: "" (an empty string; it means no ID at all).

        Specified by:
        setId in interface Component
        Parameters:
        s - the identifier. You could specify null or an empty string to remove ID.

      • setPageBefore

        public void setPageBefore​(Page page,
                                  Component component)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets what page this component belongs to, and insert this component right before the reference component.

        For child components, the page they belong is maintained automatically. You need to invoke this method only for root components.

        It is similar to Component.setPage(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Page), except this component will be placed before the reference component. If the reference component is null, this component is placed at the end of all root components.

        Specified by:
        setPageBefore in interface Component
        component - another root component used as a reference which this component will be placed before. If null, this component will be placed at the end of all root components (no matter whether it already belongs to the same page).

      • getStubonly

        public java.lang.String getStubonly()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns whether this component is stub-only. By stub-only, we mean we don't need to maintain the states of the component at the server side.

        There are three possible values: "true", "false", and "inherit", and "ignore-native".

        Notice that the native components will be stub-ized, no matter this property is set. Though rarely required, you could control whether to stub-ize the native components with a component attribute called Attributes.STUB_NATIVE.

        Specified by:
        getStubonly in interface Component
      • setStubonly

        public void setStubonly​(java.lang.String s)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets whether this component is stub-only. By stub-only, we mean we don't need to maintain the states of the component at the server side.

        Default: "inherit" (i.e., the same as the parent's stub-only, and "false" is assumed if none of parents is specified with stub-only).

        If a component is set to stub-only, the application running at the server shall not access it anymore after rendered to the client. The ZK loader will try to minimize the memory footprint by merging stub-only components and replacing with light-weight components.

        However, the event listeners and handlers are preserved, so they will be invoked if the corresponding event is received. Since the original component is gone, the event is the more generic format: an instance of Event (rather than MouseEvent or others).

        If a component is stub-only, the application usually access it only at the client since all widgets are preserved at the client (so are events).

        This method is available only for ZK EE.

        Specified by:
        setStubonly in interface Component
        Parameters:
        s - whether it is stub-only. The allowed values include "true", "false" and "inherit".
      • setStubonly

        public void setStubonly​(boolean b)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets whether this component is stub-only. It is the same as setStubonly(stubonly ? "true": "false").

      • getParent

        public Component getParent()

      • setVisible

        public boolean setVisible​(boolean b)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets whether this component is visible. A component is visible by default. Both visible and invisible components are rendered in a browser's DOM. But an invisible component's DOM elements with CSS display:none. Since a DOM element will inherit its parent's CSS rules, a component is visible only if all of its parents are also visible.
        To remove a component's DOM elements, use Component.detach().
        Specified by:
        setVisible in interface Component
        Returns:
        the previous visibility
      • getMold

        public java.lang.String getMold()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns the mold used to render this component.

        Default: "default"

        Since 5.0, the default can be overridden by specify a library property. For example, if the component's class name is org.zkoss.zul.Button, then you can override the default mold by specifying the property called "org.zkoss.zul.Button.mold" with the mold you want in zk.xml. For example,

        <library-property>
                <name>org.zkoss.zul.Button.mold</name>
                <value>trendy</value>
                </library-property>

        Notice that it doesn't affect the deriving classes. If you want to change the deriving class's default mold, you have to specify them explicitly, too.

                                        EventListener<? extends Event> eventListener)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Adds an event listener to specified event name for this component with the given priority.

        You could register listener to all components in the same page by use of Page.addEventListener(java.lang.String, org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener<? extends org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.Event>).

        Version Difference

        ZK 5.0 and earlier, the second registration is ignored if an event listener has been registered twice. However, since 6.0.0 and later, it won't be ignored. If a listener has been registered multiple times, it will be invoked multiple times.

        If you prefer to ignore the second registration, you could specify a library property called "org.zkoss.zk.ui.EventListener.duplicateIgnored" to true.

        Specified by:
        addEventListener in interface Component
        Parameters:
        i - the priority of the event. The higher the priority is, the earlier it is invoked.
        Notice:
        • If the priority equals or is greater than 1000, the event listener will be invoked before the event handlers registered in a ZUML page (i.e., the onXxx attribute declared in ZUML). On the other hand, if the priority is lower than 1000, it is invoked after the ZUML's event handler.
        • The priority registered by Component.addEventListener(String, EventListener) is 0.
        • Applications shall not use the priority higher than 10,000 and lower than -10,000 since they are reserved for component development.
        s - what event to listen (never null)
        Returns:
        whether the listener is added successfully

        s - the original event that was received by this component. If null, "onClick" is assumed.
        component - the target component to receive the event. If null, the space owner Component.getSpaceOwner() is assumed. If null and the space owner is the page, the root component is assumed.
        s1 - the target event that the target component will receive. If null, it is the same as the original event.
        Returns:
        whether it is added successfully. It returns false if the condition was always added before.

        Description copied from interface: Component
        Adds a forward condition to forward the event received by this component to another component, specified with a path.

        Note: the target component is retrieved from the path, each time the event is received. Thus, you can reference to a component that is created later.

        Parameters:
        s - the original event that was received by this component. If null, "onClick" is assumed.
        s1 - the target component's path related to this component. If ".", this component is assumed. If null, the space owner is assumed. If null and the space owner is the page, the root component is assumed.
        s2 - the target event that the target component will receive. If null, it is the same as the original event.
        Returns:
        whether it is added successfully. It returns false if the condition was always added before.

      • isInvalidated

        public boolean isInvalidated()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns if this component needs to be redrawn at the client.

        Application developers rarely need to call this method.

        Note:

        1. It always returns true if it doesn't belong to any page (since redraw is required if it is attached to a page later).
        2. It always returns true if the current execution is not an asynchronous update (so redrawn is always required).
        3. If its parent is invalidated, this component will be redrawn too, but this method returns false if Component.invalidate() was not called against this component.
        Specified by:
        isInvalidated in interface Component
      • invalidate

        public void invalidate()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Invalidates this component by setting the dirty flag such that it will be redraw the whole content of this component and its dependencies later. And, the widget associated with this component and all its descendant at the client will be deleted and recreated, too.

        If the application is totally controlled by the server side (i.e., you don't write client codes), you rarely need to access this method.

        It can be called only in the request-processing and event-processing phases. However, it is NOT allowed in the rendering phase.

      • applyProperties

        public void applyProperties()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Initializes the properties (a.k.a. members) based on what are defined in the component definition.

        This method is invoked automatically if a component is created by evaluating a ZUML page, i.e., if it is specified as an element of a ZUML page.

        On the other hand, if it is created manually (by program), developer might choose to invoke this method or not, depending whether he wants to initializes the component with the properties defined in the ZUML page (PageDefinition) and the language definition (LanguageDefinition).

        Notice that, since 5.0.7, custom-attributes are applied automatically in the constructor of AbstractComponent, so they are always available no matter this method is called or not.

                                                  java.lang.String s1)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets or removes an event listener of the peer widget. If there is an event listener associated with the same event, the previous one will be replaced and returned.
        Specified by:
        setWidgetListener in interface Component
        Parameters:
        s - the event name, such as onClick
        s1 - the script to handle the event. If null, the event handler is removed.
        Returns:
        the previous script if any

      • setWidgetOverride

        public java.lang.String setWidgetOverride​(java.lang.String s,
                                                  java.lang.String s1)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets or removes a method or a property of the peer widget (at the client). If there is a method or a property associated with the same name, the previous one will be replaced and returned.

        For example,

        comp.setWidgetOverride("setValue", "function (value) {}"); //override a method
        comp.setWidgetOverride("myfield", "new Date()"); //override a property
        

        If there is no previous method or property, the method/property will be assigned directly.

        Notice that, unlike Component.setWidgetListener(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), if the method has been sent to the client for update, it cannot be removed by calling this method with a null value. In other words, invoking this method with a null value only removes the method overrides if it has not YET been to sent to the client.

        The previous method/property can be accessed by this.$xxx. For example

        function (value, fromServer) {
          this.$setValue(value, fromServer);
          if (this.desktop) {
            this._cnt = !this._cnt;
            this.setStyle('background:'+(this._cnt ? 'red':'green'));
          }
        }

        Notice that, since it is not extending, so this.$super references the superclass's method, rather than the old method.

        Specified by:
        setWidgetOverride in interface Component
        Parameters:
        s - the property name to override, such as setValue and miles.
        s1 - the method definition, such as function (arg) {...}, or a value, such as 123 and new Date(). If not null, this method will be added to the peer widget. If there was a method with the same name, it will be renamed to $name so can you call it back.
        <label w:setValue="function (value) {
          this.$setValue(value); //old method
        }"/>
        If null, the previous method, if any, will be restored.
        Returns:
        the previous script if any

        Note: ComponentCtrl.onChildAdded(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) is called in the request-processing phase.

        It is not a good idea to throw an exception in this method, since it is in the middle of modifying the component tree.

        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Returns the annotation associated with the definition of the specified property, or null if not available.

        If there are multiple annotation with the given name, this method will merge them before return. If you prefer to get all of them without merging, please use ComponentCtrl.getAnnotations(String, String) instead. For example,

        <textbox value="@bind(abc, param1=foo1) @bind(xyz, param2=foo2)">

        This method will return a single annotation with three attributes: value=xyz, param1=foo1 and param2=foo2. On the other hand, ComponentCtrl.getAnnotations(String, String) will return a two-element collections.

        Notice that the property is not limited the 'real' property. For example, the following statement is correct though button doesn't have setFoo method. And, you can retrieve it by use of this method (getAnnotation("foo", "bind"))

        <button foo="@bind(whatever=123)"/>

        Furthermore, you can declare it as custom-attribute. For example, the following is equivalent to the above.

        <button>
          <custom-attribute foo="@bind(whatever=123}">

                                  java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String[]> annotAttrs)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Adds an annotation to the specified property of this component.

        If the given property is null, the annotation is associated to this component, rather than a particular property.

        Unlike Java, you can add annotations dynamically, and each component has its own annotations.

        Specified by:
        addAnnotation in interface ComponentCtrl
        Parameters:
        propName - the property name. If null, the annotation is associated with the component (rather than a particular property).
        annotName - the annotation name (never null, nor empty).
        annotAttrs - a map of attributes, or null if no attribute at all. This method will make a copy of annotAttrs, so the caller can use it after the invocation.
      • sessionWillPassivate

        public void sessionWillPassivate​(Page page)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl

        Note: only root components are notified by this method.

        Specified by:
        sessionWillPassivate in interface ComponentCtrl
      • sessionDidActivate

        public void sessionDidActivate​(Page page)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Notification that the session, which owns this component, has just been activated (a.k.a., deserialized).

        Note: only root components are notified by this method.

        Specified by:
        sessionDidActivate in interface ComponentCtrl
      • getExtraCtrl

        public java.lang.Object getExtraCtrl()
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Returns the extra controls that tell ZK how to handle this component specially.

        Application developers need NOT to access this method.

        There are a set of extra controls: org.zkoss.zk.ui.ext.render.

        The first package is used if the content of a component can be changed by the user at the client. It is so-called the client controls.

        The second package is used to control how to render a component specially.

        Override this method only if you want to return the extra controls.

        Specified by:
        getExtraCtrl in interface ComponentCtrl
        Returns:
        null if no special handling required. If the component requires some special controls, it could return an object that implements one or several interfaces in the org.zkoss.zk.ui.ext.render package. For example, Cropper.
      • getPropertyAccess

        public PropertyAccess getPropertyAccess​(java.lang.String prop)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Returns the corresponding property access object from the given property name, if any.
        Specified by:
        getPropertyAccess in interface ComponentCtrl
        Parameters:
        prop - the name of the property
        Returns:
        null it means not to support for the property name.
      • disableClientUpdate

        public boolean disableClientUpdate​(boolean disable)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Sets whether to disable the update of the client widgets of this component and its descendants.

        By default, if a component is attached to a page, modifications that change the visual representation will be sent to the client to ensure the consistency.

        Though rarely needed, you can disable the synchronization of the visual representation, if you prefer to update the client in a batch or the modification is caused by the client.

        Notice:

        • Once disabled, it not only affects the synchronization of this component but also all its descendants.
        • The disable remains until the end of this execution (or the invocation of this method with false). In other words, it is enabled automatically in the next execution.
        • The updates, if any, before calling this method will still be sent to the client.
        • It does nothing, if there is no current execution.

        Also notice that, with Component.invalidate(), it is easy to synchronize the content of a component (and its descendants) to the client.

        Specified by:
        disableClientUpdate in interface ComponentCtrl
        Returns:
        whether it has been disabled before this invocation, i.e., the previous disable status
