Constructor Detail

Menu

public Menu()

Menu

public Menu(java.lang.String label)

Menu

public Menu(java.lang.String label,
            java.lang.String src)

Method Detail

isTopmost

public boolean isTopmost()

Returns whether this is an top-level menu, i.e., not owning by another Menupopup.

getMenupopup

public Menupopup getMenupopup()

Returns the Menupopup it owns, or null if not available.

getContent

public java.lang.String getContent()

Returns the embedded content (i.e., HTML tags) that is shown as part of the description.

It is useful to show the description in more versatile way.

Since:

5.0.0

setContent

public void setContent(java.lang.String content)

Sets the embedded content (i.e., HTML tags) that is shown as part of the description.

It is useful to show the description in more versatile way.

There is a way to create Colorbox automatically by using #color=#RRGGBB, usage example setContent("#color=#FFFFFF")

Since:

5.0.0

open

public void open()

Opens the menupopup that belongs to the menu.

Note that this function is only applied when it is topmost menu, i.e. the parent of the menu is Menubar

Since:

6.0.0

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()

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 LabelImageElement

Throws:

java.io.IOException

beforeParentChanged

public void beforeParentChanged(Component parent)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Default: does nothing.

Specified by:

beforeParentChanged in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

beforeParentChanged in class AbstractComponent

Parameters:

parent - the new parent. If null, it means detachment.

See Also:

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

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)

onChildRemoved

public void onChildRemoved(Component child)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Default: does nothing.

Specified by:

onChildRemoved in interface ComponentCtrl

Overrides:

onChildRemoved in class AbstractComponent

See Also:

ComponentCtrl.onChildRemoved(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.

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 LabelImageElement

Returns:

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

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 onClick.

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
