  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getTabbox

          public Tabbox getTabbox()

      Returns the tabbox owns this component.

      It is the same as `AbstractComponent.getParent()`.

    - #### getWidth

          public java.lang.String getWidth()

      Description copied from class: `HtmlBasedComponent`
      Returns the width. If null, the best fit is used.

      Default: null.

      Overrides:
        `getWidth` in class `HtmlBasedComponent`

    - #### getAlign

          public java.lang.String getAlign()

      Returns the alignment of tab. Reserved for future extension; not supported yet.
      Since:
        3.0.0

    - #### setAlign

          public void setAlign​(java.lang.String align)
                        throws WrongValueException

      Sets the alignment of tab. Reserved for future extension; not supported yet.

      Default: "start".

      Parameters:
        `align` - must be "start" or "center" or "end".
      Throws:
        `WrongValueException`
      Since:
        3.0.0

    - #### 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.

      Specified by:
        `invalidate` in interface `Component`
      Overrides:
        `invalidate` in class `AbstractComponent`

    - #### getZclass

          public java.lang.String getZclass()

      Description copied from class: `HtmlBasedComponent`
      Returns the ZK Cascading Style class for this component. It usually depends on the implementation of the mold (`AbstractComponent.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()`

    - #### beforeParentChanged

          public void beforeParentChanged​(Component parent)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractComponent`
      Default: If parent is null, execute the @Destroy method if any.
      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)`

    - #### beforeChildAdded

          public void beforeChildAdded​(Component child,
                                       Component refChild)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractComponent`
      Default: does nothing.
      Specified by:
        `beforeChildAdded` in interface `ComponentCtrl`
      Overrides:
        `beforeChildAdded` in class `AbstractComponent`
      Parameters:
        `child` - the child to be added (never null).
        `refChild` - another child component that the new child will be inserted before it. If null, the new child will be the last child.
      See Also:
        `ComponentCtrl.beforeChildAdded(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)`

    - #### insertBefore

          public boolean insertBefore​(Component child,
                                      Component refChild)

      Description copied from interface: `Component`
      Inserts a child before the reference child.

      You could use `Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)` or `Component.appendChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)` instead of this method, unless you want to control where to put the child.

      Note: `Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)` always calls back `Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)` and/or `Component.removeChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)`, while `Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)` and `Component.removeChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)` always calls back `Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)`, if the parent is changed. Thus, you don't need to override both `Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)` and `Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)`, if you want to customize the behavior.

      If you would like to monitor if a component is attached or detached from a page, you could register a desktop listener implementing `UiLifeCycle`.

      Specified by:
        `insertBefore` in interface `Component`
      Overrides:
        `insertBefore` in class `AbstractComponent`
      Parameters:
        `child` - the new child to be inserted.
        `refChild` - the child before which you want the new child being inserted. If null, the new child is append to the end.
      Returns:
        true if newChild is added successfully or moved; false if it already has the specified child and the order doesn't change.

    - #### onChildRemoved

          public void onChildRemoved​(Component child)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractComponent`
      Default: handles special event listeners.
      Specified by:
        `onChildRemoved` in interface `ComponentCtrl`
      Overrides:
        `onChildRemoved` in class `AbstractComponent`
      See Also:
        `ComponentCtrl.onChildRemoved(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)`

    - #### onChildAdded

          public void onChildAdded​(Component child)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractComponent`
      Default: handles special event listeners.
      Specified by:
        `onChildAdded` in interface `ComponentCtrl`
      Overrides:
        `onChildAdded` in class `AbstractComponent`
      See Also:
        `ComponentCtrl.onChildAdded(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)`

    - #### 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.

      Overrides:
        `renderProperties` in class `XulElement`
      Throws:
