 </window>

Properties

Menupopup

By default, the none is assumed, you can specify the auto to appear a default menu for the listhead. Or you can provide your own menupopup for the component.

[Since 6.5.0]

Auto

<zk>
	<listbox>
		<listhead menupopup="auto">
			<listheader label="Author" sort="auto"/>
			<listheader label="Title" sort="auto"/>
			<listheader label="Publisher" sort="auto"/>
			<listheader label="Hardcover" sort="auto"/>
		</listhead>
		// omitted...
	</listbox>
</zk>

listItems will be categorized by the label of its children (listcells). You could extend (ListitemComparator) and assign to the listheader ( See Here) to change this default behavior.

Customized Menupopup

<window title="Column's Menu Demo" border="normal" width="500px">
	<menupopup id="editPopup">
        <menuitem label="Group" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-group.png"/>
        <menuitem label="Sort Ascending" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-arrowup.png"/>
        <menuitem label="Sort Descending" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-arrowdown.png"/>
	</menupopup>
	<listbox>
		<listhead menupopup="editPopup">
			<listheader label="Author" sort="auto"/>
			<listheader label="Title" sort="auto"/>
			<listheader label="Publisher" sort="auto"/>
			<listheader label="Hardcover" sort="auto"/>
		</listhead>
		// omitted...
	</listbox>
</window>

As you can see, the example above specify a customized menupopup to the columns as its column menu.

Invisible Listhead for Alignment

Sometimes you want to use the listheader with a size or hflex value, but you don't want to show it up on the page, you can specify all the listheaders in the same listhead with an empty string.

For example,

<listbox width="200px">
	<listhead>
		<listheader hflex="1" />
		<listheader hflex="2" />
		<listheader hflex="1" />
	</listhead>
	<auxhead>
		<auxheader colspan="3">
			auxheader (listheaders hidden)
		</auxheader>
	</auxhead>
	<listitem>
		<listcell>hflex 1</listcell>
		<listcell>hflex 2</listcell>
		<listcell>hflex 1</listcell>
	</listitem>
	<listitem>
		<listcell>hflex 1</listcell>
		<listcell>hflex 2</listcell>
		<listcell>hflex 1</listcell>
	</listitem>
</listbox>
