Example code for path getComponent

This documentation is for an older version of ZK. For the latest one, please click here.

Example of Path.getComponent

In the following code, when the button is clicked, its label will be changed.

<window id="w" apply="MyComposer">
	<button id="b" label="ok" forward="onClick=onChangeLabel"/>
</window>

And MyComposer.java

import org.zkoss.zk.ui.Path;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.GenericComposer;
import org.zkoss.zul.Button;

public class MyComposer extends GenericComposer {
	Button btn = new Button();
	public void onChangeLabel(){
		btn = (Button)Path.getComponent("/w/b");
		btn.setLabel("changed");
	}
}

Another way, getFellow

getFellow is another api to get the component. But it is not recommended. For simplicity and consistency, use Path.getComponent instead.

omit Path.getComponent
