Class Combobox

A combobox.

Non-XUL extension. It is used to replace XUL menulist. This class is more flexible than menulist, such as setAutocomplete setAutodrop.

Default Value

{@link getZclass}: z-combobox.

<p>Like {@link zul.db.Datebox},
the value of a read-only comobobox ({@link isReadonly}) can be changed
by dropping down the list and selecting an combo item
(though users cannot type anything in the input box).

$ZKBINDER$?: boolean
$ZKMATCHMEDIA$?: string[]
$button?: boolean
$inputWidget?: boolean
$oid: number = 0

The object ID. Each object has its own unique $oid. It is mainly used for debugging purpose.

Trick: you can test if a JavaScript object is a ZK object by examining this property, such as `if (o.$oid) alert('o is a ZK object');`

Notice: zk.Class extends from zk.Object (so a class also has $oid)

$weave?: object = undefined

The weave controller that is used by ZK Weaver. It is not null if it is created and controlled by ZK Weaver. In other words, it is called in the Design Mode if Widget.$weave is not null.

_afterComposed: boolean
_beforeAfterComposeCallbacks: CallableFunction[]
_disabledShadowAdjustment: boolean
autag?: string

The AU tag of this widget. The AU tag tag is used to tag the AU requests sent by the peer widget. For instance, if the AU tag is xxx,yyy and the desktop's request path (Desktop#requestPath) is /foo.zul, then the URL of the AU request will contain /_/foo.zul/xxx,yyy,.

Default Value

null

Since

6.0.0

bindLevel: number = -1

The bind level (integer).

The level in the widget tree after this widget is bound to a DOM tree (bind_). For example, a widget's bind level is one plus the parent widget's

It starts at 0 if it is the root of the widget tree (a desktop, zk.Desktop), then 1 if a child of the root widget, and son on. Notice that it is -1 if not bound.

It is mainly useful if you want to maintain a list that parent widgets is in front of (or after) child widgets. bind level.

blankPreserved?: boolean
className: string

The class name of the widget. For example, zk.Widget's class name is "zk.Widget", while zul.wnd.Window's "zul.wnd.Window".

Notice that it is available if a widget class is loaded by WPD loader (i.e., specified in zk.wpd). If you create a widget class dynamically, you have to invoke register to make this member available. On the other hand, zk.Object.$class is available for all objects extending from zk.Object.

See

widgetName

desktop?: Desktop

The desktop that this widget belongs to.

It is set when it is bound to the DOM tree.

Notice it is always non-null if bound to the DOM tree, while Widget.$n is always non-null if bound. For example, zul.utl.Timer.

It is readonly, and set automatically when bind_ is called.

doAfterProcessRerenderArgs: undefined | unknown[]
domExtraAttrs?: Record<string, string>
firstChild: undefined | Comboitem

The first child, or null if no child at all.

See

getChildAt

id?: string

The identifier of this widget, or null if not assigned.

It is the same as getId.

To change the value, use setId.

inServer: boolean = false

Whether this widget has a peer component.

It is set if a widget is created automatically to represent a component at the server. On the other hand, it is false if a widget is created by the client application (by calling, say, new zul.inp.Textox()).

lastChild: undefined | Comboitem

The last child, or null if no child at all.

See

getChildAt

nChildren: number = 0

The number of children (integer).

nextSibling?: Widget<HTMLElement>

The next sibling, or null if this widget is the last child.

offsetHeight?: any
offsetWidth?: any
parent?: Widget<HTMLElement>

The parent, or null if this widget has no parent.

previousSibling?: Widget<HTMLElement>

The previous sibling, or null if this widget is the first child.

prolog?: string
rawId: any
uuid: string = ''

The UUID. Don't change it if it is bound to the DOM tree, or inServer is true. Developers rarely need to modify it since it is generated automatically.

widgetName: string

The widget name of the widget. It is the same as this.className.substring(this.className.lastIndexOf('.') + 1).toLowerCase(). For example, if className is zul.wnd.Window, then widgetName is window.

Notice that className is unique while widgetName is not necessary unique.

    Default Value

    38 (Unit: miliseconds).

    Since

    5.0.8

    molds: {
        default(out): void;
    }

      • Parameters

        • out: string[]

        Returns void

    onChangingDelay: number = 350

    The delay for sending the onChanging event (unit: milliseconds). The onChanging event will be sent after the specified delay once the user pressed a keystroke (and changed the value).

    Accessors

    • get $class(): typeof ZKObject
    • The class that this object belongs to.

      Returns typeof ZKObject

    Methods

    • Parameters

      • command: string
      • Optional args: unknown[]

      Returns void

    • Returns undefined | Record<string, Widget<HTMLElement>>

      the map of all fellows of this widget.

      wgt.$f().main.setTitle("foo");
      

      Since

      5.0.2

    • Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • id: string

        the widget's ID (id)

      • Optional global: boolean

        whether to search all ID spaces of this desktop. If true, it first search its own ID space, and then the other Id spaces in this browser window (might have one or multiple desktops). If omitted, it won't search all ID spaces.

      Returns undefined | T

      the fellow (Widget) of the specified ID of the ID space that this widget belongs to. It returns undefined if not found.

    • The constructor.

      Parameters

      • Optional props: Record<string, unknown> | (() => void)

      Returns void

      Default Value

      it does nothing so the subclass needs not to copy back
      (also harmless to call back).

      See

      afterInit

      Deprecated

      as of 10.0 released. Using ES6 constructor instead.

    • Determines if this object is an instance of the class represented by the specified Class parameter. Example:

      if (obj.$instanceof(zul.wgt.Label, zul.wgt.Image)) {
      }

      Parameters

      • Rest ...klass: any[]

        the Class object to be checked. Any number of arguments can be specified.

      Returns boolean

      true if this object is an instance of the class

    • Returns undefined | HTMLInputElement

      the DOM element that this widget is bound to. It is null if it is not bound to the DOM tree, or it doesn't have the associated DOM node (for example, zul.utl.Timer).

      Notice that desktop is always non-null if it is bound to the DOM tree. In additions, this method is much faster than invoking jq() (see _global_.jq, since it caches the result (and clean up at the unbind_). ```ts var n = wgt.$n(); ```

      See

      #$n(String)

    • Type Parameters

      • T extends HTMLElement = HTMLElement

      Parameters

      • Optional subId: string

        the sub ID of the child element

      Returns undefined | T

      the child element of the DOM element(s) that this widget is bound to. This method assumes the ID of the child element the concatenation of uuid, -, and subId. For example,

      var cave = wgt.$n('cave'); //the same as jq('#' + wgt.uuid + '-' + 'cave')[0]
      

      Like Widget.$n, this method caches the result so the performance is much better than invoking jq() directly.

    • Returns HTMLInputElement

      the DOM element that this widget is bound to. (Never null)

      See

      Widget.$n_

      Since

      10.0.0

    • Type Parameters

      • T extends HTMLElement = HTMLElement

      Parameters

      • subId: undefined | string

        the sub ID of the child element

      Returns T

      the child element of the DOM element(s) that this widget is bound to. (Never null)

      See

      Widget.$n_

      Since

      10.0.0

    • Type Parameters

      Returns undefined | T

      the owner of the ID space that this widget belongs to, or null if it doesn't belong to any ID space.

      Notice that, if this widget is an ID space owner, this method returns itself.

    • Parameters

      • Optional subclass: string

      Returns string

      the sub zclass name that cache for this widget. It returns the zclass if the subclass is empty or null, since it caches the result (and clean up at the setZclass).

      var subzcls = wgt.$s('hover'); // z-xxx-hover will be return
      

      See

      getZclass

      • F extends any

      Parameters

      • mtd: M

        the method name to invoke

      • Rest ...args: Parameters<F>

        any number of arguments

      Returns ReturnType<F>

      the object being returned by the method of the superclass.

    • Invokes a method defined in the superclass with any number of arguments. It is like Function's call() that takes any number of arguments.

      It is similar to ZKObject.$super, but this method works even if the superclass calls back the same member method. In short, it is tedious but safer.

      Example: ```ts foo.MyClass = zk.$extends(foo.MySuper, { multiply: function (n) { return this.$super(foo.MyClass, 'multiply', n + 2); } ```

      Notice that the class specified in the first argument is not the super class having the method. Rather, it is the class that invokes this method.

      • F extends any

      Parameters

      • name: M

        the method name to invoke

      • args: Parameters<F>

        an array of arguments. In most case, you just pass arguments (the built-in variable).

      Returns ReturnType<F>

      the object being returned by the method of the superclass.

    • Invokes a method defined in the superclass with an array of arguments. It is like Function's apply() that takes an array of arguments.

      It is similar to zk.Object.$supers, but this method works even if the superclass calls back the same member method. In short, it is tedious but safer.

      Example: ```ts foo.MyClass = zk.$extends(foo.MySuper, { multiply: function () { return this.$supers(foo.MyClass, 'multiply', arguments); } ```

      Notice that the class specified in the first argument is not the super class having the method. Rather, it is the class that invokes this method.

    • A callback called after a widget is composed but not yet be bound to DOM tree.

      Returns void

      Since

      10.0.0

    • Specifies a function that shall be called after the object is initialized, i.e., after zk.Object.$init is called. This method can be called only during the execution of zk.Object.$init.

      It is an advance feature that is used to allow a base class to do something that needs to wait for all deriving classes have been initialized.

      Invocation Sequence:

      • The most derived class's $init (subclass)
      • The based class's $init (if the derived class's $init invokes this.$supers('$init', arguments))
      • The first function, if any, be added with afterInit, then the second (in the same order that afterInit was called)...

      Parameters

      • func: CallableFunction

        the function to register for execution later

      Returns void

      See

      zk.Object.$init

      Deprecated

      as of 10.0 released. Using afterCreated_ instead.

    • A callback called after the parent has been changed.

      Parameters

      • Optional oldparent: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the previous parent (null if it was not attached) The current parent can be found by parent.

      Returns void

      Since

      5.0.4

      See

      beforeParentChanged_

    • Append a child widget. The child widget will be attached to the DOM tree automatically, if this widget has been attached to the DOM tree, unless this widget is zk.Desktop. In other words, you have to attach child widgets of zk.Desktop manually (by use of, say, replaceHTML).

      Subclass Note

      • If this widget is bound to the DOM tree, this method invoke insertChildHTML_ to insert the DOM content of the child to the DOM tree. Thus, override insertChildHTML_ if you want to insert more than the DOM content generated by redraw.
      • If a widget wants to do something when the parent is changed, overrides beforeParentChanged_ (which is called by insertBefore, removeChild and appendChild).
      • insertBefore might invoke this method (if the widget shall be the last child). To know if it is the case you can check insertingBefore_.

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child widget to add

      • Optional ignoreDom: boolean

        whether not to generate DOM elements could prevent it from generating DOM element. It is usually used with rerender.

      Returns boolean

      whether the widget was added successfully. It returns false if the child is always the last child (lastChild).

    • Called before adding a child. If a widget accepts only certain types of children, it shall override this method and return false for an illegal child.

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child to be added (never null).

      • Optional insertBefore: Widget<HTMLElement>

        another child widget that the new child will be inserted before it. If null, the new child will be the last child.

      Returns boolean

      whether the widget was able to added.

      Since

      10.0.0

    • A callback called before removing a child.

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child being removed.

      Returns void

      Since

      10.0.0

    • Parameters

      • attr: FlexOrient

      Returns undefined | number

    • Callback before sending an AU request. It is called by sendAU_.

      Parameters

      • wgt: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the widget that causes the AU request to be sent. It will be the target widget when the server receives the event.

      • evt: Event<unknown>

        the event to be sent back to the server. Its content will be cloned to the AU request.

      Returns void

      Default Value

      this method will stop the event propagation
      and prevent the browser's default handling
      (by calling {@link zk.Event#stop}),
      if the event is onClick, onRightClick or onDoubleClick.
      <p>Notice that {@link sendAU_} is called against the widget sending the AU request
      to the server, while {@link beforeSendAU_} is called against the event's
      target (evt.target).

      <p>Notice that since this method will stop the event propagation for onClick,
      onRightClick and onDoubleClick, it means the event propagation is stopped
      if the server registers a listener. However, it doesn't stop if
      only a client listener is registered (and, in this case, {@link zk.Event#stop}
      must be called explicitly if you want to stop).

      5.0.2

    • Binds this widget. It is called to associate (aka., attach) the widget with the DOM tree.

      Notice that you rarely need to invoke this method, since it is called automatically (such as replaceHTML and appendChild).

      Notice that you rarely need to override this method, either. Rather, override bind_ instead.

      Parameters

      • Optional desktop: Desktop

        the desktop the DOM element belongs to. If not specified, ZK will decide it automatically.

      • Optional skipper: Skipper

        used if rerender is called with a non-null skipper.

      • Optional bindSelfOnly: boolean

        set to true if one doesn't want to recursively bind descendents.

      Returns this

      See

    • Binds the children of this widget. It is called by bind_ to invoke child's bind_ one-by-one.

      Parameters

      See

      doDoubleClick_

      Since

      6.5.0

    • Recursively bind ancestors that are currently unbound (i.e., desktop is falsy). Used by ROD. Introduced by ZK-5368.

    • Bind swipe event to the widget on tablet device. It is called if HTML 5 data attribute (data-swipeable) is set to true.

      You rarely need to override this method, unless you want to bind swipe behavior differently.

      Returns void

      Default Value

      use {@link zk.Swipe} to implement swipe event.

    • Checks if this widget can be activated (gaining focus and so on).

      Parameters

      • Optional opts: Partial<{
            checkOnly: boolean;
        }>

        the options. Allowed values:

        • checkOnly: not to change focus back to modal dialog if unable to activate. If not specified, the focus will be changed back to _global_.zk#currentModal. In additions, if specified, it will ignore zk#busy, which is set if zk.AuCmd0#showBusy is called. This flag is usually set by focus, and not set if it is caused by user's activity, such as clicking.
        The reason to ignore busy is that we allow application to change focus even if busy, while the user cannot.

      Returns boolean

      Default Value

      return false if it is not a descendant of
      {@link _global_.zk#currentModal}.
    • Cleans up the widget to make it un-draggable. It is called if getDraggable is cleaned (or unbound).

      You rarely need to override this method, unless you want to handle drag-and-drop differently.

      Returns void

    • Clears the error message and the error status.

      It is also called by zk.AuCmd0#clearWrongValue (from the server).

      Parameters

      • revalidate: boolean

        whether to re-validate the value next time onblur occurs

      • Optional remainError: boolean

        whether the input widget remains in the error status, if any, after the invocation.

      Returns void

    • Called to create the visual effect representing what is being dragged. In other words, it creates the DOM element that will be moved with the mouse pointer when the user is dragging.

      This method is called if getDragMessage_ returns null. If getDragMessage_ returns a string (empty or not), a small popup containing the message is created to represent the widget being dragged.

      You rarely need to override this method, unless you want a different visual effect.

      Parameters

      • drag: Draggable

        the draggable controller

      • ofs: Offset

        the offset of the returned element (left/top)

      Parameters

      • Optional opts: Record<string, unknown>

        the options.

      Returns void

    • Renders a fake DOM element that will replace with the correct element after the deferring time is up. The method is designed for some widgets to override, such as Treeitem, Listitem, and Row, whose HTML tag is created inside a table.

      By default, the Div tag is assumed.

      Parameters

      • out: string[]

        an array to output the HTML fragments.

      Returns void

      Since

      5.0.6

    • Utilities for handling the so-called render defer (setRenderdefer). This method is called automatically by redraw, so you only need to use it if you override redraw.

      A typical usage is as follows. ```ts redraw: function (out) { if (!this.deferRedraw_(out)) { out.push(...); //redraw } } ```

      Parameters

      • out: undefined | string[]

        an array to output the HTML fragments.

      Returns boolean

      Since

      5.0.2

    • Removes this widget (from its parent). If it was attached to a DOM tree, the associated DOM elements will be removed, too.

      Returns void

    • Called when the user double-clicks on a widget or a child widget. A widget doesn't need to listen the dblclick DOM event. Rather, it shall override this method if necessary.

      Parameters

      Returns void

      <p>Note: if {@link shallIgnoreClick_} returns true, {@link fireX} won't be
      called and this method invokes the parent's {@link doDoubleClick_} instead
      (unless {@link zk.Event#stopped} is set).

      6.5.0

    • Called when the user clicks or right-clicks on widget or a child widget. It is called before doClick_ and doRightClick_.

      Parameters

      Returns void

      Default Value

      does nothing but invokes the parent's {@link doSelect_}.
      Notice that it does not fire any event.
      <p>Deriving class that supports selection (such as {@link zul.sel.ItemWidget})
      shall override this to handle the selection.
      <p>Technically, the selection can be handled in {@link doClick_}.
      However, it is better to handle here since this method is invoked first
      such that the widget will be selected before one of its descendant widget
      handles {@link doClick_}.
      <p>Notice that calling {@link zk.Event#stop} will stop the invocation of
      parent's {@link doSelect_} and {@link doClick_}/{@link doRightClick_}.
      If you just don't want to call parent's {@link doSelect_}, simply
      not to invoke super's doSelect_.

      //if swipe time is less than 500ms, it is considered as swipe event if (dispT < 500) { //if horizontal displacement is larger than 30px and vertical displacement is smaller than 75px, it is considered swipe left/right if (dispX > 30 && dispY < 75) //swipe left if deltaX > 0

      //if vertical displacement is large than 30px and horizontal displacement is smaller than 75px, it is considered swipe up/down else if (dispY > 30 && dispX < 75) //swipe up if deltaY > 0 } ```

      Parameters

      • evt: Event<unknown>

        the widget event.

      Returns void

      Default Value

      fire the widget event ({@link fireX}), and
      call parent's doSwipe_ if the event propagation is not stopped ({@link zk.Event#stopped}).
      It is the so-called event propagation.

      Since

      6.5.0

    • Registers an DOM event listener for the specified DOM element (aka., node). You can use jQuery to listen the DOM event directly, or use this method instead.

      bind_: function () {
      this.$supers('bind_', arguments);
      this.domListen_(this.$n(), "onChange"); //fn is omitted, so _doChange is assumed
      this.domListen_(this.$n("foo"), "onSelect", "_doFooSelect"); //specify a particular listener
      },
      unbind_: function () {
      this.domUnlisten_(this.$n(), "onChange"); //unlisten
      this.domUnlisten_(this.$n("foo"), "onSelect", "_doFooSelect");
      this.$supers('unbind_', arguments);
      },
      _doChange_: function (evt) { //evt is an instance of zk.Event
      //event listener
      },
      _doFooSelect: function (evt) {
      }

      See also ZK Client-side Reference: Notifications

      Design Mode

      If a widget is created and controlled by ZK Weaver for visual design, we call the widget is in design mode (Widget.$weave). Furthermore, this method does nothing if the widget is in the design mode. Thus, if you want to listen a DOM event (jq.Event), you have to use jQuery directly.

      Parameters

      • node: HTMLElement | JQuery<HTMLElement>

        a node of this widget. It is usually retrieved by Widget.$n.

      • evtnm: string

        the event name to register, such as onClick.

      • Optional fn: string | CallableFunction

        the name (String) of the member method to handle the event, or the function (Function). It is optional. If omitted, _doEvtnm is assumed, where evtnm is the value passed thru the evtnm argument. For example, if the event name is onFocus, then the method is assumed to be _doFocus.

      • Optional keyword: unknown

        the extra argumenet for the function, which is passed into the callback function. (since 7.0)

      Returns this

    • Parameters

      • Optional no: DomStyleOptions

        [options] the style to exclude (i.e., to turn off). If omitted, it means none (i.e., all included). For example, you don't want width to generate, call domStyle_({width:1}). Notice, though a bit counter-intuition, specify 1 (or true) to denote exclusion. Allowed value (subclass might support more options):

      Returns string

      the style used for the DOM element of this widget, such as "width:100px;z-index:1;"

      Default Value

      a concatenation of style, width, visible and so on.
      

      See

      • domClass_
      • domAttrs_
    • Returns undefined | string

      the tooltiptext for generating the title attribute of the DOM element.

      Default Value

      return {@link getTooltiptext}.
      <p>Deriving class might override this method if the parent widget
      is not associated with any DOM element, such as treerow's parent: treeitem.

      Since

      5.0.2

    • Un-registers an event listener for the specified DOM element (aka., node).

      Refer to domListen_ for more information.

      Parameters

      • n: HTMLElement | JQuery<HTMLElement>
      • evtnm: string

        the event name to register, such as onClick.

      • Optional fn: string | CallableFunction

        the name (String) of the member method to handle the event, or the function (Function). It is optional. If omitted, _doEvtnm is assumed, where evtnm is the value passed thru the evtnm argument. For example, if the event name is onFocus, then the method is assumed to be _doFocus.

      • Optional keyword: unknown

        the extra argumenet for the function, which is passed into the callback function. (since 7.0)

      Returns this

    • Called to have some visual effect when the user is dragging a widget over this widget and this widget is droppable. Notice it is the effect to indicate a widget is droppable.

      Parameters

      • Optional over: boolean

        whether the user is dragging over (or out, if false)

      Returns void

      Default Value

      it adds the CSS class named 'z-drag-over' if over is true, and remove it if over is false.
      
    • Associates UUID with this widget.

      Notice that uuid is automatically associated (aka., bound) to this widget. Thus, you rarely need to invoke this method unless you want to associate with other identifiers.

      For example, ZK Google Maps uses this method since it has to bind the anchors manually.

      Parameters

      • uuid: string

        the UUID to assign to the widgtet

      • add: boolean

        whether to bind. Specify true if you want to bind; false if you want to unbind.

      Returns void

    • Fire a widget event. An instance of zk.Event is created to represent the event.

      The event listeners for this event will be called one-by-one unless zk.Event#stop is called.

      If the event propagation is not stopped (i.e., zk.Event#stop not called) and inServer is true, the event will be converted to an AU request and sent to the server. Refer to ZK Client-side Reference: AU Requests: Client-side Firing for more information.

      Parameters

      • evtnm: string

        the event name, such as onClick

      • Optional data: unknown

        the data depending on the event (zk.Event).

      • Optional opts: EventOptions

        the options. Refer to zk.Event#opts

      • Optional timeout: number

        the delay before sending the non-deferrable AU request (if necessary). If not specified or negative, it is decided automatically. It is ignored if no non-deferrable listener is registered at the server.

      Returns Event<unknown>

      the event being fired.

    • Fires the onChange event. If the widget is created at the server, the event will be sent to the server too.

      Parameters

      Returns void

      Since

      5.0.5

    • Fire a widget event.

      Parameters

      • evt: Event<unknown>

        the event to fire

      • Optional timeout: number

        the delay before sending the non-deferrable AU request (if necessary). If not specified or negative, it is decided automatically. It is ignored if no non-deferrable listener is registered at the server.

      Returns Event<unknown>

      the event being fired, i.e., evt.

    • Parameters

      • n: HTMLElement
      • orient: FlexOrient

      Returns number

    • Sets the focus to this widget. This method will check if this widget can be activated by invoking canActivate first.

      Notice: don't override this method. Rather, override focus_, which this method depends on.

      Parameters

      • Optional timeout: number

        how many milliseconds before changing the focus. If not specified or negative, the focus is changed immediately,

      Returns boolean

      whether the focus is gained to this widget.

    • Forces the rendering if it is deferred. A typical way to defer the render is to specify setRenderdefer with a non-negative value. The other example is some widget might be optimized for the performance by not rendering some or the whole part of the widget. If the rendering is deferred, the corresponding DOM elements (Widget.$n) are not available. If it is important to you, you can force it to be rendered.

      Notice that this method only forces this widget to render. It doesn't force any of its children. If you want, you have invoke forcerender one-by-one

      The derived class shall override this method, if it implements the render deferring (other than setRenderdefer).

      Returns void

    • Returns undefined | string

      the name of this component.

      Default Value

      null.

      Don't use this method if your application is purely based on ZK's event-driven model.

      The name is used only to work with "legacy" Web application that handles user's request by servlets. It works only with HTTP/HTML-based browsers. It doesn't work with other kind of clients.

    • Parameters

      • n: string | HTMLElement

        the DOM element to match the widget.

      Returns undefined | Widget<HTMLElement>

      the widget associated with the given node element. It is used by replaceHTML and replaceChildHTML_ to retrieve the widget associated with the note.

      It is similar to Widget.$ but it gives the widget a chance to handle extreme cases. For example, Treeitem doesn't associate a DOM element (or you can say Treeitem and Treerow shares the same DOM element), so `zk.Widget.$(n)` will return Treerow, not Treeitem. If it is the case, you can override it to make replaceHTML works correctly.

    • Inserts a child widget before the reference widget (the sibling argument).

      Subclass Note

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child widget

      • Optional sibling: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the sibling widget (the 'insert' point where the new widget will be placed before). If null or omitted, it is the same as appendChild

      • Optional ignoreDom: boolean

      Returns boolean

      whether the widget was added successfully. It returns false if the child is always the last child (lastChild).

    • Inserts the HTML content generated by the specified child widget before the reference widget (the before argument). It is called by insertBefore and appendChild to handle the DOM tree.

      Deriving classes might override this method to modify the HTML content, such as enclosing with TD.

      Notice that when inserting the child (without the before argument), this method will call getCaveNode to find the location to place the DOM element of the child. More precisely, the node returned by getCaveNode is the parent DOM element of the child. The default implementation of getCaveNode is to look for a sub-node named uuid$cave. In other words, it tried to place the child inside the so-called cave sub-node, if any. Otherwise, Widget.$n is assumed.

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child widget to insert

      • Optional before: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child widget as the reference to insert the new child before. If null, the HTML content will be appended as the last child. The implementation can use before.getFirstNode_() (getFirstNode_) to retrieve the DOM element

      • Optional desktop: Desktop

      Returns void

    • Returns boolean

      whether to automatically complete this text box by matching the nearest item (Comboitem. It is also known as auto-type-ahead.

      Default Value

      true

      If true, the nearest item will be searched and the text box is updated automatically. If false, user has to click the item or use the DOWN or UP keys to select it back.

      Don't confuse it with the auto-completion feature mentioned by other framework. Such kind of auto-completion is supported well by listening to the onChanging event.

    • Returns boolean

      whether to automatically drop the list if users is changing this text box.

      Default Value

      false.

    • Returns boolean

      whether this widget is being bound to DOM. In other words, it returns true if bind is called against this widget or any of its ancestors.

        the options. If omitted, it checks only if the server registers any non-deferrable listener, and if the client register any listener. Allowed values:

        • any - in addition to the server's non-deferrable listener and client's listener, it also checks deferrable listener, and the so-called important events
        • asapOnly - it checks only if the server registers a non-deferrable listener, and if any non-deferrable important event. Use this option, if you want to know whether an AU request will be sent.

      • Optional opts: RealVisibleOptions

        the options. Allowed values:

        • dom - whether to check DOM element instead of isVisible
        • until - specifies the ancestor to search up to (included). If not specified, this method searches all ancestors. If specified, this method searches only this widget and ancestors up to the specified one (included).
        • strict - whether to check DOM element's style.visibility. It is used only if `dom` is also specified.
        • cache - a map of cached result (since 5.0.8). Ignored if null. If specified, the result will be stored and used to speed up the processing.

      Returns boolean

      if this widget is really visible, i.e., all ancestor widget and itself are visible.

    • Returns undefined | string | boolean

    • Parameters

      • Optional strict: boolean

        whether to check the visibility of the associated DOM element. If true, this widget and the associated DOM element must be both visible.

      Returns boolean

      if this widget is visible

    • Parameters

      • name: string

        the name of the watch, such as onShow

      • Optional p: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the parent widget causing the watch event. It is null if it is not caused by global.zWatch#fireDown.

      • Optional cache: Record<string, unknown>

        a map of cached result (since 5.0.8). Ignored if null. If specified, the result will be stored and used to speed up the processing

    • Registers listener(s) to the specified event. For example,

      wgt.listen({
      onClick: wgt,
      onOpen: wgt._onOpen,
      onMove: [o, o._onMove]
      });

      As shown above, you can register multiple listeners at the same time, and echo value in infos can be a target, a function, or a two-element array, where the first element is a target and the second the function. A target can be any object that this will reference to when the event listener is called. Notice it is not zk.Event#target. Rather, it is `this` when the listener is called.

      If the function is not specified, the target must have a method having the same name as the event. For example, if `wgt.listen({onChange: target})` was called, then target.onChange(evt) will be called when onChange event is fired (by fire). On the other hand, if the target is not specified, the widget is assumed to be the target.

      Parameters

      • infs: Record<string, unknown>
      • Optional priority: number

        the higher the number, the earlier it is called. If omitted, 0 is assumed. If a widget needs to register a listener as the default behavior (such as zul.wnd.Window's onClose), -1000 is suggested

      Returns this

    • Called to fire the onAfterSize event.

      Returns void

      Since

      6.5.2

    • A callback called after a child has been replaced. Unlike onChildAdded_ and onChildRemoved_, this method is called only if zk.AuCmd1#outer. And if this method is called, neither onChildAdded_ nor onChildRemoved_ will be called.

      Parameters

      • oldc: undefined | Widget<HTMLElement>

        the old child (being removed). Note: it might be null.

      • newc: undefined | Widget<HTMLElement>

        the new child (being added). Note: it might be null.

      Returns void

      Default Value

      invoke {@link onChildRemoved_} and then
      {@link onChildAdded_}.
      Furthermore, it sets this.childReplacing_ to true before invoking
      {@link onChildRemoved_} and {@link onChildAdded_}, so we can optimize
      the code (such as rerender only once) by checking its value.
    • A callback called after a child's visibility is changed (i.e., setVisible was called).

      Notice that this method is called after the _visible property and the associated DOM element(s) have been changed.

      To know if it is becoming visible, you can check isVisible (such as this._visible).

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child whose visiblity is changed

      Returns void

    • Called to fire the onDrop event. You could override it to implement some effects to indicate dropping.

      Parameters

      • drag: Draggable

        the draggable controller

      • evt: Event<unknown>

        the event causes the drop

      Returns void

      Default Value

      it fires the onDrop event (with {@link fire}).
      The subclass can override this method to pass more options such as the coordination where a widget is dropped.
    • Drops down the list of combo items (Comboitem. It is the same as setOpen(true).

      Parameters

      Returns void

    • Proxies a member function such that it can be called with this object in a context that this object is not available. It sounds a bit strange at beginning but useful when passing a member of an object that will be executed as a global function.

      Example: Let us say if you want a member function to be called periodically, you can do as follows. ```ts setInterval(wgt.proxy(wgt.doIt), 1000); //assume doIt is a member function of wgt ```

      With proxy, when doIt is called, this references to wgt. On the other hand, the following won't work since this doesn't reference to wgt, when doIt is called. ```ts setInterval(wgt.doIt, 1000); //WRONG! doIt will not be called with wgt ```

      Notice that this method caches the result so that it will return the same proxied function, if you pass the same function again.

    • Generates the HTML fragment for this widget. The HTML fragment shall be pushed to out. For example,

      out.push('<div', this.domAttrs_(), '>');
      for (var w = this.firstChild; w; w = w.nextSibling)
      w.redraw(out);
      out.push('</div>');

      Parameters

      • out: string[]

        an array to output HTML fragments. Technically it can be anything that has the method called push

      • Optional skipper: Skipper

      Returns void

      Default Value

      it retrieves the redraw function associated with
      the mold ({@link getMold}) and then invoke it.
      The redraw function must have the same signature as this method.
    • Parameters

      • Optional skipper: Skipper

        the skipper. Ignored if null

      • Optional trim: boolean

        whether to trim the HTML content before replacing

      Returns string

      the HTML fragment of this widget.

    • Removes a child with more control. It is similar to removeChild except the caller could prevent it from removing the DOM element.

      Notice that the associated DOM elements and unbind_ is called first (i.e., called before beforeParentChanged_, modifying the widget tree, ID space, and onChildRemoved_).

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child to remove.

      • Optional ignoreDom: boolean

        whether to remove the DOM element

      Returns boolean

      whether it is removed successfully.

    • Removes the corresponding DOM content of the specified child. It is called by removeChild to remove the DOM content.

      The default implementation of this method will invoke removeHTML_ if the ignoreDom argument is false or not specified.

      Overrides this method or removeHTML_ if you have to remove DOM elements other than child's node (and the descendants).

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child widget to remove

      • Optional ignoreDom: boolean

        whether to remove the DOM element

      Returns void

    • Removes the HTML DOM content.

      The default implementation simply removes the DOM element passed in.

      Overrides this method if you have to remove the related DOM elements.

      Parameters

      • n: HTMLElement | HTMLElement[]

        an array of DOMElement to remove. If this widget is associated with a DOM element (Widget.$n returns non-null), n is a single element array. If this widget is not associated with any DOM element, an array of child widget's DOM elements are returned.

      Returns void

      Since

      5.0.1

    • Replaced the child widgets with the specified widgets. It is useful if you want to replace a part of children whose DOM element is a child element of subId (this.$n(subId)).

      Note: it assumes this.$n(subId) exists.

      Parameters

      • subId: string

        the ID of the cave that contains the child widgets to replace with.

      • wgts: Widget<HTMLElement>[]

        an array of widgets that will become children of this widget

      • Optional tagBeg: string

        the beginning of HTML tag, such as <tbody>. Ignored if null.

      • Optional tagEnd: string

        the ending of HTML tag, such as </tbody>; Ignored if null.

      Returns void

      See

      zAu#createWidgets

    • Replaces the DOM element(s) of the specified child widget. It is called by replaceHTML to give the parent a chance to do something special for particular child widgets.

      Parameters

      • child: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the child widget whose DOM content is used to replace the DOM tree

      • n: string | HTMLElement

        the DOM element to be replaced

      • Optional desktop: Desktop
      • Optional skipper: Skipper

        it is used only if it is called by rerender

      • Optional _trim_: boolean

      Returns void

    • Replaces the specified DOM element with the HTML content generated this widget. It is the same as jq(n).replaceWith(wgt, desktop, skipper).

      The DOM element to be replaced can be Widget.$n or any independent DOM element. For example, you can replace a DIV element (and all its descendants) with this widget (and its descendants).

      This method is usually used to replace a DOM element with a root widget (though, with care, it is OK for non-root widgets). Non-root widgets usually use appendChild and insertBefore to attach to the DOM tree[1]

      If the DOM element doesn't exist, you can use jq.before or jq.after instead.

      Notice that, both replaceHTML fires the beforeSize and onSize watch events (refer to zWatch).

      If skipper is null. It implies the caller has to fire these two events if it specifies a skipper (that is how rerender is implemented).

      Subclass Note

      This method actually forwards the invocation to its parent by invoking parent's replaceChildHTML_ to really replace the DOM element. Thus, override replaceChildHTML_ if you want to do something special for particular child widgets.

      Parameters

      • n: string | HTMLElement

        the DOM element (DOMElement) or anything Widget.$ allowed.

      • Optional desktop: Desktop

        the desktop that this widget shall belong to. If omitted, it is retrieve from the current desktop. If null, it is decided automatically ( such as the current value of desktop or the first desktop)

      • Optional skipper: Skipper

        it is used only if it is called by rerender

      • Optional _trim_: boolean
      • Optional _callback_: CallableFunction[]

      Returns void

      See

    • Replaces this widget with the specified one. The parent and siblings of this widget will become the parent and siblings of the specified one.

      Notice that replaceHTML is used to replace a DOM element that usually doesn't not belong to any widget. And, replaceWidget is used to replace the widget, and it maintains both the widget tree and the DOM tree.

      Parameters

      • newwgt: Widget<HTMLElement>

        the new widget that will replace this widget.

      • Optional skipper: Skipper

        the skipper used to skip a portion of DOM nodes.

      Returns void

      See

      replaceHTML

      Since

      5.0.1

    • Re-renders the DOM element(s) of this widget. By re-rendering we mean to generate HTML again (redraw) and then replace the DOM elements with the new generated HTML code snippet.

      It is equivalent to replaceHTML(this.node, null, skipper).

      It is usually used to implement a setter of this widget. For example, if a setter (such as `setBorder`) has to modify the visual appearance, it can update the DOM tree directly, or it can call this method to re-render all DOM elements associated with is widget and its descendants.

      It is convenient to synchronize the widget's state with the DOM tree with this method. However, it shall be avoided if the HTML code snippet is complex (otherwise, the performance won't be good).

      If re-rendering is required, you can improve the performance by passing an instance of zk.Skipper that is used to re-render some or all descendant widgets of this widget.

      Parameters

      • Optional skipper: Skipper

        skip some portion of this widget to speed up the re-rendering. If not specified, rerender(0) is assumed (since ZK 6).

      Returns this

    • Re-renders after the specified time (milliseconds).

      Notice that, to have the best performance, we use the single timer to handle all pending rerenders for all widgets. In other words, if the previous timer is not expired (and called), the second call will reset the expiration time to the value given in the second call.

      Parameters

      • Optional timeout: number

        the number milliseconds (non-negative) to wait before rerender. If negative, it means rerender shall take place immediately. If not specified, 0 is assumed (since ZK 6).

      Returns this

      Since

      5.0.4

    • A function that postpones the invoke of rerender function until all the cmds from server are processed. This avoids rerendering twice or more. It works only in the setAttrs phase, otherwise rerender will be invoked immediately.

      Parameters

      Returns void

      Since

      8.6.0

    • Forces the delayed rerendering children or itself to do now.

      Parameters

      • Optional skipper: Skipper

        used if rerender is called with a non-null skipper.

      Returns void

      Since

      7.0.2

    • Makes this widget visible in the browser window by scrolling ancestors up or down, if necessary.

      Returns this

      Default Value

      invoke zk(this).scrollIntoView();
      

      See

      zk.JQZK.scrollIntoView

    • Selects the whole text in this input.

      Parameters

      • start: number

        the starting index of the selection range

      • end: number

        the ending index of the selection range (excluding). In other words, the text between start and (end-1) is selected.

      Returns void

    • Sends an AU request to the server. It is invoked when fire will send an AU request to the server.

      Override Notice: sendAU_ will call evt.target's beforeSendAU_ to give the original target a chance to process it.

      Parameters

      • evt: Event<unknown>

        the event that will be sent to the server.

      • timeout: number

        the delay before really sending out the AU request

      Returns void

      See

      Since

      5.0.1

    • Sets a property. The property updates sent from the server, including renderProperties and smartUpdate, will invoke this method.

      Special Names

      `onXxx`

      If the name starts with `on`, it is assumed to be an event listener and setListener will be called.

      `$onXxx`

      If the name starts with `$on`, the value is assumed to be a boolean indicating if the server registers a listener.

      `$$onXxx`

      If the name starts with `$$on`, it indicates the event is an important event that the client must send it back to the server. In additions, the value is assumed to be a boolean indicating if the server registers a listener.

      Special Value

      `{$u: uuid}`

      If the value is in this format, it indicates `$u`'s value is UUID of a widget, and it will be resolved to a widget before calling the real method.

      However, since we cannot resolve a widget by its UUID until the widget is bound (to DOM). Thus, ZK sets property after mounted. For example, `wgt.set("radiogroup", {$u: uuid})` is equivalent to the following. ```js zk.afterMount(function () { wgt.set("radiogroup", zk.Widget.$(uuid)) }); ```

      Parameters

      • name: string

        the name of property.

      • value: string

        the value

      Returns Widget<HTMLElement>

    • Sets a property. The property updates sent from the server, including renderProperties and smartUpdate, will invoke this method.

      Parameters

      • name: string

        the name of property. Refer to (set:TWO_PARAMS) for special names.

      • value: string

        the value

      • extra: unknown

        the extra argument. It could be anything.

      Returns Widget<HTMLElement>

    • Sets the client-side action.

      Parameters

      • Optional action: string

        the client-side action

      Returns this

      Default Value

      null (no CSA at all)

      The format:
      `action1: action-effect1; action2: action-effect2`

      Currently, only two actions are `show` and `hide`. They are called when the widget is becoming visible (show) and invisible (hide).

      The action effect (`action-effect1`) is the name of a method defined in zk.eff.Actions, such as `show: slideDown; hide: slideUp`

      Since

      5.0.6

    • Sets whether to automatically complete this text box by matching the nearest item (Comboitem.

      Parameters

      • cols: number
      • Optional opts: Record<string, boolean>

    • Sets the ID of the popup (zul.wgt.Popup) that should appear when the user right-clicks on the element (aka., context menu).

      Parameters

      • context: string

        the ID of the popup widget.

      Returns this

    • Sets the ID of the popup (zul.wgt.Popup) that should appear when the user right-clicks on the element (aka., context menu).

      An onOpen event is sent to the context menu if it is going to appear. Therefore, developers can manipulate it dynamically (perhaps based on OpenEvent.getReference) by listening to the onOpen event.

      Note: To simplify the use, it not only searches its ID space, but also all ID spaces in the desktop. It first searches its own ID space, and then the other Id spaces in the same browser window (might have one or multiple desktops).

      If there are two components with the same ID (of course, in different ID spaces), you can specify the UUID with the following format:
      `uuid(comp_uuid)`

      Example:
      ```ts wgt.setContext('an_id'); wgt.setContext('uuid(an_uuid)'); wgt.setContext(a_wgt); ``` Both reference a component whose ID is "some". But, if there are several components with the same ID, the first one can reference to any of them. And, the second one reference to the component in the same ID space (of the label component).

      The context menu can be shown by a position from zul.wgt.Popup.open or the location of `x` and `y`, you can specify the following format:

      • `id, position`
      • `id, position=before_start`
      • `id, x=15, y=20`
      • `uuid(comp_uuid), position`
      • `uuid(comp_uuid), x=15, y=20`
      For example, ```ts wgt.setContext('an_id', 'start_before'); ``` Since 6.5.2, the context menu can also be shown on customized location of `x` and `y` by adding parentheses"()", for example, ```ts wgt.setContext('an_id', 'x=(zk.currentPointer[0] + 10), y=(zk.currentPointer[1] - 10)'); ```

      Parameters

      • context: Popup

        the popup widget.

      Returns this

    • Sets whether to use css flex in this component or not.

      Parameters

      The simplest way to make a widget draggable is to set this property to "true". To disable it, set this to "false" (or null). If there are several types of draggable objects, you could assign an identifier for each type of draggable object. The identifier could be anything but empty and "false".

    • Sets the identifier, or a list of identifiers of a droppable type for this widget.

      Parameters

      • Optional droppable: string | boolean

        false, null or "" to denote not-droppable; true for accepting any draggable types; a list of identifiers, separated by comma for identifiers of draggables this widget accept (to be dropped in).

      Returns this

      Default Value

      null

      The simplest way to make a component droppable is to set this attribute to `true`. To disable it, set this to `false` (or `null`).

      If there are several types of draggable objects and this widget accepts only some of them, you could assign a list of identifiers that this widget accepts, separated by comma.

      For example, if this component accepts dg1 and dg2, then assign "dg1, dg2" to this attribute.

      • popup: string

        the ID of the popup widget.

      Returns this

    • Sets the ID of the popup (zul.wgt.Popup) that should appear when the user clicks on the element.

      An onOpen event is sent to the popup menu if it is going to appear. Therefore, developers can manipulate it dynamically (perhaps based on OpenEvent.getReference) by listening to the onOpen event.

      Note: To simplify the use, it not only searches its ID space, but also all ID spaces in the desktop. It first searches its own ID space, and then the other Id spaces in the same browser window (might have one or multiple desktops).

      If there are two components with the same ID (of course, in different ID spaces), you can specify the UUID with the following format:
      `uuid(comp_uuid)`

      Example:
      ```ts wgt.setPopup('an_id'); wgt.setPopup('uuid(an_uuid)'); wgt.setPopup(a_wgt); ``` Both reference a component whose ID is "some". But, if there are several components with the same ID, the first one can reference to any of them. And, the second one reference to the component in the same ID space (of the label component).

      The popup menu can be shown by a position from zul.wgt.Popup.open or the location of `x` and `y`, you can specify the following format:

      • `id, position`
      • `id, position=before_start`
      • `id, x=15, y=20`
      • `uuid(comp_uuid), position`
      • `uuid(comp_uuid), x=15, y=20`
      For example, ```ts wgt.setPopup('an_id', 'start_before'); ``` Since 6.5.2, the popup can also be shown on customized location of `x` and `y` by adding parentheses"()", for example, ```ts wgt.setPopup('an_id', 'x=(zk.currentPointer[0] + 10), y=(zk.currentPointer[1] - 10)'); ```

      Parameters

      • popup: Popup

        the popup widget.

      Returns this

    • Sets the width of the popup of this component If the input is a percentage, the popup width will be calculated by multiplying the width of this component with the percentage. (e.g. if the input string is 130%, and the width of this component is 300px, the popup width will be 390px = 300px * 130%) Others will be set directly.

      Parameters

      • popupWidth: string

        of the popup of this component

      • Optional opts: Record<string, boolean>

      Returns this

      Returns this

    • Sets the number of milliseconds before rendering this component at the client.

      Parameters

      • renderdefer: number

        time to wait in milliseconds before rendering. Notice: 0 also implies deferring the rendering (just right after all others are rendered).

      Returns this

      Default Value

      -1 (don't wait).

      This method is useful if you have a sophisticated page that takes long to render at a slow client. You can specify a non-negative value as the render-defer delay such that the other part of the UI can appear earlier. The styling of the render-deferred widget is controlled by a CSS class called `z-render-defer`.

      Notice that it has no effect if the component has been rendered at the client.

      Since

      5.0.2

      Default Value

      null

      The default styles of ZK components doesn't depend on sclass at all. Rather, setSclass is provided to perform small adjustment, e.g., changing only the font size. In other words, the default style is still applied if you change sclass.

      To replace the default style completely, use setZclass instead.

      The real CSS class is a concatenation of getZclass and getSclass.

      Returns this

    • Sets the ID of the popup (zul.wgt.Popup) that should be used as a tooltip window when the mouse hovers over the element for a moment.

      An onOpen event is sent to the tooltip if it is going to appear. Therefore, developers can manipulate it dynamically (perhaps based on OpenEvent.getReference) by listening to the onOpen event.

      Example:
      ```ts wgt.setTooltip('an_id'); wgt.setTooltip('uuid(an_uuid)'); wgt.setTooltip(a_wgt); ``` Both reference a component whose ID is "some". But, if there are several components with the same ID, the first one can reference to any of them. And, the second one reference to the component in the same ID space (of the label component).

      The tooltip can be shown by a position from zul.wgt.Popup.open or the location of `x` and `y`, and can be specified with a delay time (in millisecond), you can specify the following format:

      • `id, position`
      • `id, position=before_start, delay=500`
      • `id, x=15, y=20`
      • `uuid(comp_uuid), position`

      Returns this

    • Makes this widget as topmost.

      If this widget is not floating, this method will look for its ancestors for the first ancestor who is floating. In other words, this method makes the floating containing this widget as topmost. To make a widget floating, use setFloating_.

      This method has no effect if it is not bound to the DOM tree, or none of the widget and its ancestors is floating.

      Notice that it does not fire onFloatUp so it is caller's job if it is necessary to close other popups.

      Returns number

      the new value of z-index of the topmost floating window, -1 if this widget and none of its ancestors is floating or not bound to the DOM tree.

      Returns this

    • Smart-updates a property of the peer component associated with this widget, running at the server, with the specified value.

      It is actually fired an AU request named `setAttr`, and it is handled by the `updateByClient` method in `org.zkoss.zk.ui.AbstractComponent` (at the server).

      By default, it is controlled by a component attribute called `org.zkoss.zk.ui.updateByClient`. And, it is default to false. Thus, the component developer has to override `updateByClient` at the server (in Java) and then update it rather than calling back superclass. For example, ```ts void updateByClient(String name, Object value) { if ("disabled".equals(name)) setDisabled(value instanceof Boolean && ((Boolean)value).booleanValue()); else super.updateByClient(name, value); } ```

    • Synchronizes a map of objects that are associated with this widget, and they shall be resized when the size of this widget is changed.

      It is useful to sync the layout, such as shadow, mask and error message, that is tightly associated with a widget.

      Parameters

      • Optional opts: ZKObject

        the options, or undefined if none of them specified. Allowed values:

      Returns void

    • Retrieves the widget.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • Optional n: null | string | Node | JQuery<HTMLElement> | Event | Event<unknown> | T

        the object to look for. If it is a string, it is assumed to be UUID, unless it starts with '$'. For example, zk.Widget.$('uuid') is the same as zk.Widget.$('#uuid'), and both look for a widget whose ID is 'uuid'. On the other hand, zk.Widget.$('$id') looks for a widget whose ID is 'id'.
        and zk.Widget.$('.className') looks for a widget whose CSS selector is 'className'. (since zk 8.0)
        If it is an DOM element (DOMElement), it will look up which widget it belongs to.
        If the object is not a DOM element and has a property called target, then target is assumed. Thus, you can pass an instance of jq.Event or zk.Event, and the target widget will be returned.

      • Optional opts: Partial<{
            child: boolean;
            exact: boolean;
            strict: boolean;
        }>

        the options. Allowed values:

        • exact - id must exactly match uuid (i.e., uuid-xx ignored). It also implies strict (since 5.0.2)
        • strict - whether not to look up the parent node.(since 5.0.2) If omitted, false is assumed (and it will look up parent).
        • child - whether to ensure the given element is a child element of the widget's main element (Widget.$n). In most cases, if ID of an element is xxx-yyy, the the element must be a child of the element whose ID is xxx. However, there is some exception such as the shadow of a window.

      Returns undefined | T

    • Parameters

      • wgtnm: string

        the widget name, such as textbox.

      Returns typeof Widget

      the class of the specified widget's name. For example,

      zk.Widget.getClass('combobox');
      

      Notice that null is returned if the widget is not loaded (or not exist) yet.

    • Parameters

      • id: string

        the id of a widget, id.

      Returns HTMLElement[]

      all DOMElement with the given ID.

      Since

      5.0.2

    • Parameters

      Returns HTMLElement[]

      all DOMElement with the given widget name.

      Since

      5.0.2

    • Determines if the class by this Class object is either the same as, or is a superclass of, the class represented by the specified Class parameter. Example:

      if (klass1.isAssignableFrom(klass2)) {
      }

      Parameters

      • cls: typeof ZKObject

        the Class object to be checked, such as zk.Widget.

      Returns boolean

      true if assignable

    • Parameters

      • id: string

      Returns boolean

      Deprecated

      we cannot really detect at the client if UUID is generated automatically.

    • Determines if the specified Object is assignment-compatible with this Class. This method is equivalent to [[zk.Object#$instanceof]. Example:

      if (klass.isInstance(obj)) {
      }

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • this: T
      • o: unknown

        the object to check

      Returns o is InstanceType<T>

      true if the object is an instance

    • Creates a widget by specifying the widget name. The widget name is the last part of the class name of a widget (and converting the first letter to lower case). For example, if a widget's class name is zul.inp.Textbox, then the widget name is textbox.

      This method is usually used by tools, such as zk.zuml.Parser, rather than developers, since developers can create the widget directly if he knows the class name.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • wgtnm: string

        the widget name, such as textbox.

      • Optional props: Record<string, unknown>

        the properties that will be passed to Widget.$init.

      Returns InstanceType<T>

    • Returns string

      the next unique UUID for a widget. The UUID is unique in the whole browser window and does not conflict with the peer component's UUID.

      This method is called automatically if Widget.$init is called without uuid.

    • Registers a widget class. It is called automatically if the widget is loaded by WPD loader, so you rarely need to invoke this method. However, if you create a widget class at run time, you have to call this method explicitly. Otherwise, className, getClass, and newInstance won't be applicable.

      Notice that the class must be declared before calling this method. In other words, zk.$import(clsnm) must return the class of the specified class name. ```ts zk.Widget.register('foo.Cool'); //class name zk.Widget.getClass('cool'); //widget name ```

      Parameters

      • clsnm: string

        the class name, such as zul.wnd.Window

      • blankprev: boolean

      Returns void

    • Converts an ID of a DOM element to UUID. It actually removes '-*'. For example, zk.Widget.uuid('z_aa-box') returns 'z_aa'.

      Parameters

      • id: string | HTMLElement

      Returns string

      the uuid of the widget (notice that the widget might not exist)
