Employment/Purpose

The behavior of Toolbarbutton is similar to the button except the appearance is different. The button component uses HTML BUTTON tag, while the toolbarbutton component uses HTML DIV tag.

A toolbarbutton could be placed outside a toolbar. However toolbarbuttons change their appearance if they are placed inside a toolbar.

Toolbarbutton supports getHref(). If getHref() is not null, the onClick handler is ignored and this element is degenerated to HTML's A tag.

Within ZK 5, the file upload has been redesigned so it can be integrated with any widget. For example, The toolbarbutton can now be used to upload a file. In addition to this, the display of the upload status has been enhanced and can be customized easily.

    <hbox>
        <toolbarbutton label="button5" image="/img/network.gif"
            orient="vertical" />
        <space />

            orient="vertical" dir="reverse" />
    </hbox>
</window>

File Upload

Any toolbarbutton can be used to upload files. All you need to do is:

1. Specify the upload attribute with true
2. Handles the onUpload event.

<toolbarbutton upload="true" label="Fileupload" onUpload="myProcessUpload(event.getMedia())"/>

When the file is uploaded, an instance of UploadEvent is sent to the button. Then, the event listener can retrieve the uploaded content by examining the return value of UploadEvent.getMedia().
