Orgitem

Orgitem

• Java API: Orgitem
• JavaScript API: Orgitem

Employment/Purpose

Orgitem contains a node (Orgnode), and an optional Orgchildren.

If the component doesn't contain a Orgchildren, it is a leaf node that doesn't accept any child items.

If it contains a Orgchildren, it is a branch node that might contain other items.

For a branch node, an +/- button will appear at the beginning of the node, such that user could open and close the item by clicking on the +/- button.

Example

	<organigram>
		<orgchildren>
			<orgitem image="img/folder.gif" label="Item1">
				<orgchildren>
					<orgitem image="img/folder.gif" label="Item2" selected="true" open="false">
						<orgchildren>
							<orgitem label="Item4"/>
						</orgchildren>
					</orgitem>
					<orgitem label="Item3"/>
				</orgchildren>
			</orgitem>
		</orgchildren>
	</organigram>

Label and Image

Orgitem provides Orgitem.setImage(String) and Orgitem.setLabel(String) to simplify the assignment of image and label to a Orgitem. However, they are actually placed in the node (of the child Orgnode). Furthermore, if the Orgnode is not created, they will be created automatically. For example,

	<orgitem label="Hello"/>

is equivalent to

	<orgitem>
		<orgnode label="Hello"/>
	</orgitem>

It also means you cannot attach a Orgnode child to the Orgitem, after setImage or setLabel was invoked. It means, though a bit subtle, the following will cause an exception:

	<orgitem label="Hello"> <!-- Orgnode is created automatically because of setLabel -->
		<orgnode/> <!-- exception since only one Orgnode is allowed per Orgitem -->
	</orgitem>

When your Organigram only contains image and text, It is a convenient way to create Organigram without Orgnode tags, if you want to put other components in Orgnode, you can write as following:

	<organigram>
		<orgchildren>
			<orgitem>
				<orgnode>
					<textbox onOK="new Orgitem(self.value).setParent(orgchildren)"/>
				</orgnode>
				<orgchildren id="orgchildren"/>
			</orgitem>
		</orgchildren>
	</organigram>

Supported Events

Name	Event Type
onOpen	Event: OpenEvent Denotes user has opened or closed a component. It is useful to implement load-on-demand by listening to the onOpen event, and creating components when the first time the component is opened.

• Inherited Supported Events: XulElement

Supported Children

* Orgnode,  Orgchildren
