Vlayout

Vlayout

• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Vlayout
• JavaScript API: Vlayout

Employment/Purpose

The vlayout component is a simple vertical oriented layout. Added components will be placed underneath each other in a column.

Notice that hlayout and vlayout do not support splitter, alignment and packing. If you need them, please use ZK Component Reference/Layouts/Hbox and ZK Component Reference/Layouts/Vbox instead.

Example

<zk>
     <vlayout>
         <button label="Button 1"/>
         <button label="Button 2"/>
     </vlayout>
     <hlayout>
         <button label="Button 3"/>
         <button label="Button 4"/>
     </hlayout>
</zk>

Spacing

The default spacing between two child components is 0.3em. You could modify it if you like:

<hlayout spacing="0">
  <textbox/>
  <button label="Click Me"/>
</hlayout>

Resize Child Components' Height Dynamically

When a Vlayout's content changes (e.g. adding / removing components or component's visibility changes), it will resize all its child components' height dynamically.

The window's height below (line 6) will grow when we hide the blue-background div. This also works for vflex="min" which doesn't auto resize in a normal case.

	<vlayout height="400px" style="border: solid 1px">
		<button onClick="div.setVisible(false)" label="invisible the blue content"/>
		<div style="height: 400px;background-color: lightblue"
			id="div">
		</div>
		<window border="normal" vflex="1">
			0px height at first
		</window>
	</vlayout>
