Constructor Detail

Groupbox

public Groupbox()

Method Detail

getCaption

public Caption getCaption()

Returns the caption of this groupbox.

isOpen

public boolean isOpen()

Returns whether this groupbox is open.

Default: true.

setOpen

public void setOpen(boolean open)

Opens or closes this groupbox.

isClosable

public boolean isClosable()

Returns whether user can open or close the group box. In other words, if false, users are no longer allowed to change the open status (by clicking on the title).

Default: true.

setClosable

public void setClosable(boolean closable)

Sets whether user can open or close the group box.

renderProperties

protected void renderProperties(ContentRenderer renderer)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: HtmlBasedComponent

Renders the content of this component, excluding the enclosing tags and children.

See also ZK Client-side Reference: Property Rendering

Overrides:

renderProperties in class XulElement

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getZclass

public java.lang.String getZclass()

Description copied from class: HtmlBasedComponent

Returns the ZK Cascading Style class(es) for this component. It usually depends on the implementation of the mold (AbstractComponent.getMold()).

Default: null (the default value depends on element).

HtmlBasedComponent.setZclass(java.lang.String)) will completely replace the default style of a component. In other words, the default style of a component is associated with the default value of HtmlBasedComponent.getZclass(). Once it is changed, the default style won't be applied at all. If you want to perform small adjustments, use HtmlBasedComponent.setSclass(java.lang.String) instead.

Overrides:

getZclass in class HtmlBasedComponent

See Also:

HtmlBasedComponent.getSclass()

getContentStyle

public java.lang.String getContentStyle()

Returns the CSS style for the content block of the groupbox. Used only if AbstractComponent.getMold() is not default.

setContentStyle

public void setContentStyle(java.lang.String style)

Sets the CSS style for the content block of the groupbox. Used only if AbstractComponent.getMold() is not default.

Default: null.

getContentSclass

public java.lang.String getContentSclass()

Returns the style class used for the content block of the groupbox. Used only if AbstractComponent.getMold() is not default.

setContentSclass

public void setContentSclass(java.lang.String scls)

Sets the style class used for the content block.

Since:

3.0.0

See Also:

getContentSclass()

getTitle

public java.lang.String getTitle()

Returns the title. Besides this attribute, you could use Caption to define a more sophisticated caption (a.k.a., title).

It will be displayed before caption.

Default: empty.

Since:

6.0.0

setTitle

public void setTitle(java.lang.String title)

Sets the title.

Since:

6.0.0

isLegend

public boolean isLegend()

Deprecated. As of release 6.0, legend no longer used in groupbox.

setLegend

public void setLegend(boolean legend)

Deprecated. As of release 6.0, legend no longer used in groupbox.

beforeChildAdded

public void beforeChildAdded(Component child,
                             Component refChild)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Default: does nothing.

Specified by:

beforeChildAdded in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

beforeChildAdded in class AbstractComponent

Parameters:

child - the child to be added (never null).

refChild - another child component that the new child will be inserted before it. If null, the new child will be the last child.

See Also:

ComponentCtrl.beforeChildAdded(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)

insertBefore

public boolean insertBefore(Component child,
                            Component refChild)

Description copied from interface: Component

Inserts a child before the reference child.

You could use Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) or Component.appendChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) instead of this method, unless you want to control where to put the child.

Note: Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) always calls back Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) and/or Component.removeChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component), while Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) and Component.removeChild(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) always calls back Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component), if the parent is changed. Thus, you don't need to override both Component.insertBefore(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component) and Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component), if you want to customize the behavior.

If you would like to monitor if a component is attached or detached from a page, you could register a desktop listener implementing UiLifeCycle.

Specified by:

insertBefore in interface Component

Overrides:

insertBefore in class AbstractComponent

Parameters:

child - the new child to be inserted.

refChild - the child before which you want the new child being inserted. If null, the new child is append to the end.

Returns:

true if newChild is added successfully or moved; false if it already has the specified child and the order doesn't change.

onChildRemoved

public void onChildRemoved(Component child)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Default: handles special event listeners.

Specified by:

onChildRemoved in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

onChildRemoved in class AbstractComponent

See Also:

ComponentCtrl.onChildRemoved(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)

service

public void service(AuRequest request,
                    boolean everError)

Processes an AU request.

Default: in addition to what are handled by HtmlBasedComponent.service(org.zkoss.zk.au.AuRequest, boolean), it also handles onOpen.

Specified by:

service in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

service in class HtmlBasedComponent

everError - whether any error ever occurred before processing this request.

Since:

5.0.0

See Also:

AbstractComponent.setAuService(org.zkoss.zk.au.AuService)

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Description copied from interface: Component

Clones the component. All of its children and descendants are cloned. Also, ID are preserved.

Specified by:

clone in interface Component

Overrides:

clone in class XulElement

Returns:

the new component. Notice that it doesn't belong to any page, nor desktop. It doesn't have a parent, either.
