HtmlMacroComponent 9
HtmlMacroComponent
Html Macro Component
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: AbstractComponent [1]
• JavaScript API: N/A
Employment/Purpose
The base class for macro components.
[1]
Since ZK 5.0.4, by default invoking HtmlMacroComponent.afterCompose() supports auto forward events and
wire accessible variables to this component.
For example, (usemacro.zul)
<?init zscript="macro.zs"?>
<?component name="username" macroURI="macro.zul" class="Username"?>
<window id="wnd">
<username id="ua"/>
<username label="Account"/>
</window>
(macro.zs)
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.*;
import org.zkoss.zul.*;
// auto forward
public void onClick$btn () {
System.out.println("success... and btn varible is not null
: " + (btn != null));
}
};
(macro.zul)
<grid id="mc_grid">
<rows>
<row id="r">
<button label="${empty arg.label ? 'Username': arg.label}" id="btn"/>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
If you want to turn off the auto wiring mechanism, please refer to the following steps:
HtmlMacroComponent 10
Turn off auto wire mechanism by specifying the Library Property "org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autowire.disabled" to
"true" in WEB-INF/zk.xml. If you did not specify the Library Property, the default is false.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autowire.disabled</name>
<value>true</value>
</library-property>
or turn off auto forward events by specifying the Library Property "org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autoforward.disabled" to
"true" in WEB-INF/zk.xml. If you did not specify the Library Property, the default is false.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zk.ui.macro.autoforward.disabled</name>
<value>true</value>
</library-property>
In the early version, if you want to apply the auto-wiring, you can invoke java.lang.Object)
[2]
Components.wireVariables(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, java.lang.Object) in
HtmlMacroComponent.afterCompose() [1] as follows.
Components.wireVariables(this, this);
Components.addForward(this, this);

InputElement
Input Element
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: InputElement [1]
• JavaScript API: InputWidget [2]
Employment/Purpose
InputElement is a super class for components which prove user key input, such as textbox, intbox,
decimalbox, doublebox, datebox, timebox, spinner, combobox, and bandbox.
Some features are implemented in this class, such as constraint, disabled, maxlength, name, readonly, and so on.
You should not use this class directly, please use the inherited class.
Example
<grid>
<rows>
<row>
UserName <textbox value="Jerry" width="150px" />
</row>
<row>
InputElement 12
Validation
[3]
There are two ways to validate the value entered by an user: implementing Constraint or throwing
WrongValueException [4].
Constraint
An input element can be associated with a constraint (Constraint [3]) to validate the value entered by an user. There is
a default implementation called SimpleConstraint [5] that can handle many conditions. If it is not enough, you can
implement your own constraint, or throwing WrongValueException [4] as described in the next sections.
InputElement 13
Built-in Constraints
To use the default constraint, you could specify a list of conditions in InputElement.setConstraint(java.lang.String)
[6]
, such as no positive and no empty. For example,
Condition + You can specify following values at constraint attribute to apply them
between yyyyMMdd and yyyyMMdd Date only allowed between the specified range. The format must be yyyyMMdd, such as
Regular Expression
To specify a regular expression, you could have to use / to enclose the regular expression as follows.
<textbox constraint="/.+@.+\.[a-z]+/"/>
Notice that the above statement is XML, so do not use \\ to specify a backslash. On the other hand, it is required, if
writing in Java:
new Textbox().setContraint("/.+@.+\\.[a-z]+/");
Multiple Constraints
Notice that it is allowed to mix regular expression with other constraints by separating them with a comma.
If you prefer to display an application dependent message instead of default one, you could append the constraint
with colon and the message you want to display when failed.
Escape a Comma
If you want to write a longer sentence with comma separator, you can enclose your customized sentence with curly
braces.
[Since 8.0.0]
Custom Constraint
[3]
If you want a custom constraint, you could implement Constraint and specify it in the constraint property
(InputElement.setConstraint(org.zkoss.zul.Constraint) [8]).
• Line 4: If the validation fails, just throw WrongValue [9]. Notice that you have to specify which component
causes the exception.
To specify it to the constraint property, you have to instantiate it first by use of the new function as shown below

validates all constraints at the client side
[13] http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ ClientConstraint. html#
InputElement 16
WrongValueException
In addition to throwing WrongValueException in java.lang.Object) Constraint.validate(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component,
java.lang.Object) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Constraint. html#validate(org. zkoss.
zk. ui. Component,), you can throw WrongValueException in other situations. For example, you can validate the
user name and password when the user presses the login button. For example,
@Listen("onClick = #login")
public void doLogin() {
username.clearErrorMessage(); //important to clear the previous
error, if any
if (examine(username, password)) {
//success
} else {
throw new WrongValueException(username, "Not a valid username or
password. Please retry.");
}
}
}
However, notice that you have to clear the error message manually by invoking InputElement.clearErrorMessage()
(http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ impl/ InputElement. html#clearErrorMessage()).
Otherwise, the error message will remain there unless Textbox.setValue(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/
javadoc/latest/zk/org/zkoss/zul/Textbox.html#setValue(java.lang.String)) is called.
Properties
Inplace
All input elements can have the in-place-editing functionality, like the combobox, textbox, datebox, and so on.
<grid width="500px">
<rows>
<row>
Textbox:
<textbox inplace="true" value="Click me" />
</row>
<row>
Combobox:
<combobox inplace="true" value="Click me" />
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
InputElement 17
Instant
The feature is available since 6.0.0. When instant mode is on, the onChange event will be fired as soon as possible as
user types in the input (like onChanging event). The value will also be updated to the component (server side)
immediately. Notice that it would automatically synchronize the value (including format) in client and server. If you
want to do something in server while changing the value, please use onChanging event.
Placeholder
since 6.5.0
ZK 6.5 introduces support for HTML5 placeholder text, a very useful feature for telling users what they should enter
in a textbox. This is a widely regarded UI pattern.
The following image and code show the look of the placeholder as well as the code to replicate it.
InputAttributes
since 8.6.1
The feature is available since 8.6.1. All input elements can set some additional attributes to the input html tag in the
component. The inputAttributes can take a Map with attribute names as the keys or a String separate by ";" and
follow the name=value rule.
<bandbox inputAttributes="${map}"></bandbox>
<datebox inputAttributes="autocorrect=off;spellcheck=ture"></datebox>
Supported Events
Name Event Type
onChange Event: InputEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ InputEvent. html#) Denotes the content
of an input component has been modified by the user.
onChanging Event: InputEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ InputEvent. html#) Denotes that user is
changing the content of an input component. Notice that the component's content (at the server) won't be changed until
onChange is received. Thus, you have to invoke the getValue method in the InputEvent class to retrieve the temporary
value.
onSelection Event: SelectionEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ SelectionEvent. html#) Denotes
that user is selecting a portion of the text of an input component. You can retrieve the start and end position of the selected text by
use of the getStart and getEnd methods.
onFocus Event: Event (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ Event. html#) Denotes when a component
gets the focus. Remember event listeners execute at the server, so the focus at the client might be changed when the event listener
for onFocus got executed.
onBlur Event: Event (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ Event. html#) Denotes when a component
loses the focus. Remember event listeners execute at the server, so the focus at the client might be changed when the event
listener for onBlur got executed.
onError Event: ErrorEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ ErrorEvent. html#) Denotes when a
component caused a validation error.

ZK 8.0.0 integrates Font Awesome 4.3.0. Also, with ZK 8 there is no need to include external font awesome CSS
link to use animation icon. Therefore the example above becomes
<window>
<button iconSclass="z-icon-bell z-icon-spin" />
<button iconSclass="z-icon-home z-icon-2x z-icon-rotate-90" />
</window>
[since 8.5.2]
The iconSclass not only applies to font awesome icons ("z-icon-" classes): Any css class can be applied to
customize, for example, the bootstrap glyphicons can be used here too,
<window>
<button iconSclass="glyphicon glyphicon-envelope" />
</window>
Since the web font is loaded after the character is being displayed if there is no cache, ZK doesn't know if the web
font is ready when initializing. Therefore using hflex="min" with iconSclass may not get the desired result.
Moreover, the final width of icons might not be the same. To make the width of icons always be fixed, add
z-icon-fw.
<window hflex="min">
<button iconSclass="z-icon-fw z-icon-home" />
<button iconSclass="z-icon-fw z-icon-bell z-icon-spin" />
</window>

Fragment 31
Fragment
Fragment
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Fragment [1]
• JavaScript API: Fragment [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
• Available for ZK:
Purpose
Fragment is a ZK component which developers can combine native HTML elements with ZK data binding syntax
to make the static page to be dynamic.
Example
<zk>
@validator(vm.formValidator)"
prop1="@bind(fx.prop1)" prop1err="@bind(vmsgs['fkey1'])"
prop2="@bind(fx.prop2)" prop2err="@bind(vmsgs['fkey2'])"><![CDATA[
<button onclick="@command('submit')">Submit</button>
]]></fragment>
</zk>
Fragment 32
Data Binding
With Fragment Component, you can bind the properties of ViewModel. For instance, you can use ZK MVVM data
binding to access the ViewModel indirectly on the native HTML elements.
These are the supported annotations for now:
• @save
syntax: @save([EL-expression])
• @load
syntax: @load([EL-expression])
• @bind
syntax: @bind([EL-expression])
• @command
• @global-command
This component also provides a virtual textContent attribute for HTML elements to insert data into the tag.
<zk>
status="@bind(vm.status)"><![CDATA[
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
]]></fragment>
</zk>
Shadow Elements
In this example, we use if and forEach tags together for condition and collection rendering.
<zk>
<fragment viewModel="@id('vm') @init('org.zkoss.zktest.test2.F85_ZK_3681_Shadow_VM')"
issues="@bind(vm.issues)"><![CDATA[
<section>
<h1>My Issue List</h1>
<ul>
<forEach items="@load(issues)">
Fragment 33
Data Validation
prop1="@bind(vm.prop1) @validator(vm.validator1)"
prop1err="@bind(vmsgs['prop1'])"><![CDATA[
<span textContent="@load(prop1err)"/>
]]></fragment>
</zk>
You can get the invalid message by assigning a self-defined key as an alias. In order to access invalidate messages
by HTML elements, you can simply bind the messages onto Fragment properties.
Here we can use form-binding and form validators to validate all the fields.
<zk>
<fragment viewModel="@id('vm') @init('foo.BarVM')" validationMessages="@id('vmsgs')"
form="@id('fx') @load(vm.currentUser) @save(vm.currentUser,
before='submit') @validator('formBeanValidator', prefix='p_')"
name="@bind(fx.name)" nameerror="@bind(vmsgs['p_name'])"><![CDATA[
<input type="text" value="@bind(name)"/><span textContent="@load(nameerror)"/>
<button onclick="@command('submit')">Submit</button>
]]></fragment>
Fragment 34
</zk>
syntax: @jsvalidator(validation_function_name)
You can use an implicit object (vmsgs) to get the client-side invalid messages. The @jsvalidator has its own
validation message holder not shared with server-side.
<zk>
<fragment viewModel="@id('vm') @init('foo.BarVM')" someprop="@bind(vm.prop1)"><![CDATA[
<input type="text" value="@bind(someprop) @jsvalidator('validateExample')"/>
<span textContent="@load(vmsgs['foo'])"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateExample(val, vmsgs) {
var isValid = someValidationProcess(val);
vmsgs['foo'] = isValid ? '' : 'Invalid value';
return isValid;
}
</script>
]]></fragment>
</zk>
Event Handling
The command of ViewModel can be invoked by attaching DOM events with @command or @global-command
on HTML elements. Once the DOM event is triggered (i.g. clicked or changed), the command of ViewModel will be
executed and receive the corresponding event object.
You can get more details from the event object such as mouse cursor position, pressed keys, entered text, and
selected text.

Groupbox
Groupbox
• Demonstration: Groupbox [1]
• Java API: Groupbox [1]
• JavaScript API: Groupbox [2]
• Style Guide: Groupbox
Employment/Purpose
A group box is used to group components together. A border is typically drawn around the components to show that
they are related. The label across the top of the group box can be created by using Caption component. It works
much like the HTML legend element. Unlike Window, a group box is not an owner of the ID space. It cannot be
overlapped or popup.
Example
<groupbox width="250px">
<caption label="Fruits"/>
<radiogroup>
<radio label="Apple"/>
<radio label="Orange"/>
<radio label="Banana"/>
</radiogroup>
</groupbox>
Java Example
Groupbox gb = new Groupbox();
gb.setMold("3d");
gb.setWidth("200px");
gb.appendChild(new Label("Here is Content"));
if (((OpenEvent)event).isOpen())
//do something you want.
}
});
gb.setParent(outer);
Properties
ContentStyle
Specify the CSS style for the content block of the groupbox.
ContentSclass
Specify the CSS class for the content block of the groupbox.
<zk>
<style>
.mygroupbox-cnt {
border: 3px blue dashed;
border-top:0px
}
</style>
<groupbox width="250px" mold="3d"
contentSclass="mygroupbox-cnt">
<caption label="Fruits"/>
<radiogroup>
<radio label="Apple"/>
<radio label="Orange"/>
<radio label="Banana"/>
</radiogroup>
</groupbox>
</zk>
Groupbox 39
Closable
Specify the groupbox whether can be collapsed or not. (Default: false)
For example,
Note: the function can only be applied when the Caption exists.
Open/Close
Specify the display of the groupbox whether is open or close. (Default: true)
For example,
Note: the false means the groupbox is closed, i.e. no content can appear.
[since 6.0.0]
The default mold use the same method of 3d mold to represent a groupbox, the limitation is gone.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.Groupbox.mold</name>

onOpen Event: OpenEvent [3] Denotes user has opened or closed a component. Note:
unlike onClose, this event is only a notification. The client sends this event after opening or closing the 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.

Idspace 41
Idspace
Idspace
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Idspace [1]
• JavaScript API: Idspace [2]
Employment/Purpose
Idspace just like a Div but implements the ID space, all descendant components of Idspace (including the Idspace
itself) form an independent ID space. Thus, you could use a idspace as the topmost component to group components.
This way developers only need to maintain the uniqueness of each subset separately.
since 8.0.3
To group components without render a Div, Idspace provides "nodom" mold. It would render no-dom widget in
client-side. It only render comment nodes for positioning.
Notice that it's not recommended to use hflex/vflex in the children of nodom element.
Example
<idspace>
<window border="normal">
<button id="btn" label="button" />
</window>
<div>
<button id="btn" label="button" />
</div>

Notice that nodom element does not support using hflex/vflex in itself and its children component.
Example
<nodom viewModel="@id('vm')@init('foo.MyViewModel')">
<window border="normal">

Panel
Panel
• Demonstration: Panel [1]
• Java API: Panel [2]
• JavaScript API: Panel [3]
• Style Guide: Panel
Employment/Purpose
Panel is a container that has specific functionality and structural components that make it the perfect building block
for application-oriented user interfaces. The Panel contains bottom, top, and foot toolbars, along with separate
header, footer and body sections. It also provides built-in collapsible, closable, maximizable, and minimizable
behavior, along with a variety of pre-built tool buttons that can be wired up to provide other customized behavior.
Panels can be easily embedded into any kind of ZUL component that is allowed to have children or layout
component. Panels also provide specific features like float and move. Unlike Window, Panels can only be floated
and moved inside its parent node, which is not using zk.setVParent() function at client side. In other words, if Panel's
parent node is an relative position, the floated panel is only inside its parent, not the whole page. The second
difference of Window is that Panel is not an independent ID space (by implementing IdSpace), so the ID of each
child can be used throughout the panel.
Example
<panelchildren>PanelContent2</panelchildren>
</panel>
Java Example
Panel panel = new Panel();
panel.setTitle("Here is Title");
panel.setBorder("normal");
panel.setFramable(true);
Properties
Sizable
The panel can now be resized as long as the attribute sizable is set to true. The example ZUL below shows a panel
which can be resized and the image displays a panel which is in the process of being resized.
[Since 5.0.0]
Draggable
When used with Portallayout, the draggable property (HtmlBasedComponent.setDraggable(java.lang.String) [4]) can
be used to control whether the panel is draggable under the portal layout.
<portallayout>
<portalchildren style="padding: 5px" width="30%">
<panel height="150px" title="Google Tools" border="normal"
collapsible="true" closable="true" maximizable="true"
style="margin-bottom:10px">
<panelchildren>
</panelchildren>
</panel>
<panel height="300px" title="LabPixies Clock" border="normal"
collapsible="true" closable="true" maximizable="true"
style="margin-bottom:10px"
draggable="false">
Panel 46
<panelchildren>
This is not draggable.
</panelchildren>
</panel>
</portalchildren>
</portallayout>
[Since 5.0.3]
Border
It specifies whether to display the border. Currently, it supports none, normal, rounded and rounded+. The
default is none, i.e., no border.
Here is the effect with different borders:
Backward Compatibility: ZK 5.0.5 and prior shall use the combination of the border and framable property as
follows.
• Notice that the use of the border and framable combiation still works in 5.0.6 (backward compatible).
Title
Besides this attribute, you could use Caption to define a more sophisticated caption (aka., title). If the panel has a
caption whose label Caption.getLabel() [5] is not empty, then this attribute is ignored. (Default: empty).
Closable
Specify the panel whether to show a close button on the title bar or not. If closable, a button is displayed and the
onClose event (OpenEvent [3]) is sent if a user clicks the button. (Default: false)
Miscellaneous
How to make the scrollbar appear when content exceeds panel height
Specify style="overflow: auto" on Panelchildren. For example:
Panel 47
<panel height="200px">
<panelchildren style="overflow: auto">
<div style="background: #999966" height="195px" />
<div style="background: #669999">Div Content</div>
</panelchildren>
</panel>
Toolbar positions
Panel supports three kinds of Toolbar [6] positions: Top, Bottom and Foot. For example:
</toolbar>
</panel>
• Top Toolbar (Line 5): It is used to show the top toolbar close to the body content of the panel. (It is an option)
• Bottom Toolbar (Line 11): It is used to show the bottom toolbar close to the body content of the panel. (It is an
option)
• Foot Toolbar (Line 14): It is used to show the operating button under the body content with a few padding. (It is
an option)

Employment/Purpose
A tabbox is a container used to display a set of tabbed groups of components. A row of tabs is displayed at the top
(or left or other location) of tabbox which may be used to switch between each group. It allows developers to
separate a large number of components into several groups (each group is contained in a tabpanel). Only one group
is visible at the time, such that the user interface won't be too complicate to read. Once the tab of an invisible group
is clicked, it becomes visible and the previous visible group becomes invisible.
[4]
The visible group is called selected, which can be retrieved by use of Tabbox.getSelectedPanel() or
Tabbox.getSelectedIndex() [5].
Example
<zk>
<tabbox width="400px">
<tabs>
<tab label="Tab 1" />
<tab label="Tab 2" />
</tabs>

Toolbar in Tabbox
The Tabbox supports the inclusion of other controls within its tab bar, thus allowing more freedom and layout
options when creating layouts which include a toolbar. The screenshot below demonstrates an example Tabbox
which includes extra controls in the tab bar acting like a menu system.
Note: Toolbar in Tabbox only works in a horizontal(top/bottom) orient Tabbox.
<tabbox width="250px">

<tab label="Tab 1" closable="true" />
<tab label="Tab 2" closable="true" />
<tab label="Tab 3" closable="true" />

MaximalHeight
since 7.0.0
In order to solve the problem where each tabpanel have different heights, we offer this feature called
MaximalHeight. With this feature, every Tabpanel will be applied the maximum height among all the tabpanels i.e.
if one tabpanel's height is at 300px while the rest is at 240px, all of the tabpanels will be applied with a height of
300px. This feature only works in the initial phase. The screenshot below demonstrates an example Tabbox which
includes 3 tabpanels and all of them use the maximum height.
Note: The Client ROD feature will be disabled if it is set to true.

Tab 59
Closable
By setting the closable property to true, a close button is shown on a tab, such that a user could close the tab and
the corresponding tab panel by clicking the button. Once a user clicks on the close button, an onClose event is
sent to the tab. It is processed by the onClose method of Tab. Then, onClose, by default, detaches the tab itself and
the corresponding tab panel.
since 7.0.0
If you assign a model to a Tabbox, it will do nothing for an onClose event. Therefore, developers have to listen an
onClose event to remove the corresponding item in the model instead of Tab itself.

Window 66
Window
Window
• Demonstration: Window [1]
• Java API: Window [2]
• JavaScript API: Window [3]
• Style Guide: Window
Employement/Purpose
A window is, like HTML DIV tag, used to group components. Unlike other components, a window has the following
characteristics.
• A window is an owner of [[an ID space. Any component contained in a window, including itself, could be found
by use of Component.getFellow(java.lang.String) [4], if it is assigned with an identifier.
• A window could be overlapped, popup, and embedded.
• A window could be a modal dialog.
Example
<hbox>
<window title="Embedded Style" border="normal" width="200px"> Hello,
Embedded! </window>
<window title="Overlapped Style" zclass="z-window-overlapped" border="normal"
width="200px"> Hello, Overlapped! </window>
<window title="Popup Style" zclass="z-window-popup" border="normal"
width="200px"> Hello, Popup! </window>
Window Modes
A window could be in one of five different modes: overlapped, popup, modal, highlighted and embedded. By
default, it is in the embedded mode. You could change the mode by the use of Window.setMode(java.lang.String)
[5]
.
Alternatively, you could invoke one of Window.doOverlapped() [6], Window.doPopup() [7], Window.doModal() [8],
Window.doHighlighted() [9], and Window.doEmbedded() [10], as shown below.
<zk>
<window id="win" title="Hi!" border="normal" width="200px">
<caption>
<toolbarbutton label="Help"/>
</caption>
<checkbox label="Hello, Wolrd!"/>
</window>
Embedded
An embedded window is placed inline with other components. In this mode, you cannot change its position, since the
position is decided by the browser. It is the default mode since it is the most common appearance.
Overlapped
An overlapped window is overlapped with other components, such that users could drag it around and developer
could set its position by Window.setLeft(java.lang.String) [11] and Window.setTop(java.lang.String) [12].
An overlapped window is typically used to display the information that should co-exist with the current operation
and should appear for a long time. You might have multiple overlapped windows and each for different set of
information. If you want to show the information that will appear only temporarily (dismissed as soon as a user
clicks somewhere else), you could use the popup mode as described in the next section, or the Popup component.
Popup
A popup window is similar to overlapped windows, except it is automatically closed when user clicks on any
component other than the popup window itself or any of its descendants. Of course, you could dismiss it manually by
making it invisible or detaching it.
As its name suggested, it is designed to implement the popup windows. A typical application is to display
information that won't obscure the current operation and are easy to close. A popup window is usually position
around the focal point (such as a button). It can be done by use of Window.setPosition(java.lang.String) [13] with
parent.
For example, we could display a popup window right after a button as depicted below.
<zk>
<toolbarbutton label="More info" onClick="info.doPopup()"/><span>
<window id="info" visible="false" width="120px" border="normal" position="parent">
Window 68
where we specify position="parent", and make it as a child of a span component. The span component acts as
an anchor point and the window is posited based on it.
In additions to popup windows, you could use Popup for displaying a popup. The popup component has more
control how to position it (by the use of java.lang.String) Popup.open(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, java.lang.String)
[14]
).
To dismiss a modal window, you could make it invisible (Window.setVisible(boolean) [15]), or detach it from a page.
By default, a modal window is positioned at the center of the browser window. You could change the position by
Window.setPosition(java.lang.String) [13].
You could have multiple modal windows at the same time, and the user could only access the last modal window.
Once the last modal is dismissed (invisible or detached), the previous modal window will become the active modal
window until it is dismissed.
Notice that, for better integration with other frameworks, such as Spring, it is suggested to disable the
event processing thread (default). For more information, please refer to the Event Threads section.
Once the event thread is enabled, a modal window will behave differently from other modes: Window.doModal() [8]
will suspend the execution until dismissed (invisible, detached or mode changed). It is convenient to implement
Window 69
Border
The border property ( Window.setBorder(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/
zkoss/ zul/ Window. html#setBorder(java. lang. String))) specifies whether to display a border for window. The
default style sheets support only normal and none. The default value is none, i.e., no border.
Closable
By setting the closable property ( Window.setClosable(boolean) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/
org/zkoss/zul/Window.html#setClosable(boolean))) to true, a close button is shown for the window, which enables
a to close the window by clicking the button. Once the user clicks on the close button, an onClose event is sent
to the window which is processed by the onClose method of the Window component. Then, onClose, by
default, detaches the window itself.
Notice that event.stopPropagation() ( Event.stopPropagation() (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/
zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ Event. html#stopPropagation())) must be called to prevent the default onClose handler (
Window.onClose() (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Window. html#onClose())) being
called.
Tip: If the window is a popup, the onOpen event will be sent to the window with open=false, when the popup is
closed due to the user clicking outside of the window, or pressing ESC.
The onClose is sent to ask the server to detach or to hide the window. By default, the window is detached. Of
course, the application can override this behaviour and do whatever it wants as described above.
On the other hand, onOpen is a notification. It is sent to notify the application that the client has hidden the
window. The application cannot prevent it from hiding, or changing the behavior to be detached.
<zk>
<window title="My Window" border="normal" width="200px" contentStyle="background:yellow">
Hello, World!
</window>
</zk>
Scrollable Window
A typical use of the contentStyle attribute is to make a window scrollable as follows.
This is a long line wrapped over several lines, and more content
to display.
</window>
Note: For IE 7's overflow bug, also use position:relative with overflow:auto
Window 71
Position
In addition to the left and top properties, you can control the position of an
overlapped/popup/modal/highlighted window by the use of the position attribute. For example, the following
code snippet positions the window to the right-bottom corner.
The value of the position attribute can be a combination of the following constants by separating them with
comma (,).
Constant Description
center Position the window at the center. If left or right is also specified, it means the vertical center. If top or bottom is also
specified, it means the horizontal center. If none of left, right, top and bottom is specified, it means the center in both
directions.
Both the left and top property are ignored.
By default, its value is null. That is, the overlapped and popup window is positioned by the left and top
properties, while the modal window is positioned at the center.
Sizable
If you allow users to resize the window, you can set the sizable attribute to true as follows.
Once allowed, users can resize the window by dragging the borders.
Window 72
<zk>
<window title="Demo" border="normal" width="350px">
<caption>
<toolbarbutton label="More" />
<toolbarbutton label="Help" />

<toolbarbutton label="Cancel" />
</toolbar>
What is your favorite framework?
<radiogroup>
<radio label="ZK" />
<radio label="JSF" />
</radiogroup>
</window>
</zk>
You are also able to specify a label and an image within a caption, and then the appearance is as follows.
<zk>
<window id="win" title="Main" border="normal" width="200px">
<caption image="/images/ZK-Logo.PNG" label="Hi there!"/>
<checkbox label="Hello, World!"/>

Data
This section outlines components which are designed to handle data display.
Grid and listbox are both used to display tabular data, while tree to display hierarchical data. However, both listbox
and tree allow the user to select one or multiple items it displays, while grid doesn't.
Grid, listbox and tree all allow developers to separate long content into multiple pages. For more information, please
refer to the Paging component.
Grid 75
Grid
Grid
• Demonstration: Grid [1]
• Java API: Grid [2]
• JavaScript API: Grid [3]
• Style Guide: Grid
Employment/Purpose
Components: grid, columns and column, rows and row, Auxhead and Auxheader
A grid contains components that are aligned in rows like tables. Inside a grid you place columns, rows, and
headers.
Columns defines the header and column attributes. They are declared with the columns component and
assigned as a child element of the grid. Column declares the common attributes of each column such as the
width and alignment. An optional column header may contain objects such as a label and/or image. Although
columns is optional, if it exists, notice that the number of its child (column) should equal the number of child in a
row. If columns contains no child, the grid will display nothing in its content.
Rows hold the content. They are declared with the rows component and assigned as a child element of grid.
Inside rows you should add one row component for each row of the grid. Inside each row element you
should place child components which contain the content that you want inside that row. Each child component
should align with a column of the specific row.
Additional auxiliary headers may be added with the auxhead component. The auxhead must be
closely tied with the columns declaration. For more details see the section on Axillary Headers below.
Example
<zscript>
_asc = asc;
String s1 = o1.getChildren().get(0).getValue(),
s2 = o2.getChildren().get(0).getValue();
int v = s1.compareTo(s2);

<zk>
<zscript><![CDATA[
ListModelList lm = new ListModelList(Arrays.asList(new
String[] { "David",
"Thomas", "Steven" }));
]]></zscript>
Paging
The listbox and grid components support the paging intrinsically, so you don't need to specify a paging
component explicitly as above unless you want to have different visual layout or to control multiple listbox and
gridcontrols with one paging component.
If listbox or grid component is used with a data model, we recommend you control paging from the model
directly. Although specifying page size and active page on the component is still supported, model now provides api
for paging control, which makes using model more convenient.
<zscript><![CDATA[
import org.zkoss.zul.ext.Pageable;
<row>
${each}
</row>
</template>
</grid>
<button label="Next" onClick="next()"/>
<button label="Previous" onClick="previous()"/>
Once the paging mold is set, the grid creates an instance of a Paging component as the Grid's child and the
paging component in turn handles the Grid's paging. Therefore, the number of the Grid's children includes the
paging component. Also, if you remove all children of the grid, the paging is also removed.
<vbox>
<paging id="pg" pageSize="4"/>
<hbox>
<grid width="300px" mold="paging" paginal="${pg}">
<columns>
<column label="Left"/><column label="Right"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<row>
<label value="Item 1.1"/><label value="Item 1.2"/>
</row>
<row>
<label value="Item 2.1"/><label value="Item 2.2"/>
</row>
<row>
Grid 80
Once the pagingDisabled is set to true, users will be blocked from navigating through the pagination.
grid.addEventListener(org.zkoss.zul.event.ZulEvents.ON_PAGING, new
MyListener());
Autopaging
[Since 5.0.2]
[4]
When using the paging mold and vflex, you could also turn on autopaging (Grid.setAutopaging(boolean) ) such
that the page size will be adjusted automatically based on the available space.
For example,
Note: If enable the autopaging, ZK will apply fixed height for each row with the following CSS by default. If you
want to change the height, please overwrite the CSS rule as your preference. But this feature only works when each
row has the same height.
.z-grid-autopaging .z-row-cnt {
height: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
}
[Since 5.0.8]
[Since 7.0.3]
Sort
Sorting
Grids support the direct sorting of rows. To enable ascending order sorting for a particular column, you need to
assign a java.util.Comparator instance to the sortAscending attribute of the column. Similarly, you
assign a comparator to the sortDescending property to enable the descending order.
As illustrated below, you first implement a comparator that compares any two rows of the grid, and then assign its
instances to the sortAscending and/or sortDescending attributes. Notice: the compare method is
passed two Row [5] instances.
<zk>
<zscript>
class MyRowComparator implements Comparator {
public MyRowComparator(boolean ascending) {
...
}
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
Row r1 = (Row)o1, r2 = (Row)o2;
....
}
}
Comparator asc = new MyRowComparator(true);
Comparator dsc = new MyRowComparator(false);
</zscript>
<grid>
<columns>
<column sortAscending="${asc}" sortDescending="${dsc}"/>
...
Grid 83
column.setSortDirection("natural");
sort(myorder);
sort(myorder, true);
Live Data
Like list boxes, grids support live data. With live data, developers are able to separate the data from the view. In
other words, developers only need to provide the data by implementing the ListModel [7] interface, rather than
manipulating the grid directly. The benefits are twofold.
• It is easier to use different views to show the same set of data.
• The grid sends the data to the client only if it is visible. It saves a lot of network traffic if the amount of data is
large.
There are three steps to make use of live data.
1 Prepare the data in the form of a ListModel. ZK has a concrete implementation called SimpleListModel [8] for
representing an array of objects. 2 Implement the RowRenderer [9] interface for rendering a row of data into the grid.
• This is optional. If it is not specified the default renderer is used to render the data into the first column.
• You can implement different renderers for representing the same data in different views.
3 Set the data in the model attribute and, optionally, the renderer in the rowRenderer attribute.
In the following example, we prepared a list model called strset, assign it to a grid using the model attribute.
Then, the grid will do the rest.
of ListDataEvent
}
}
When a user wants to sort the grid, the grid will invoke the sort method of ListModelExt to sort the data. In
other words, the sorting is done by the list model, rather than the grid.
After sorting, the list model will notify the grid by invoking the onChange method of the grid's registered
ListDataListener [11] instances. These are registered by the addListDataListener method. In most cases, all
the data is changed, so the list model usually sends the following event:
You can call scrollToIndex(int) to scroll a Grid to a specific item, and this even works under ROD.
Properties
Scrollable Grid
A grid can be scrollable and has a frozen header if you specify the height attribute and there is not enough space
to display all data.
<row>
<checkbox checked="true" label="Option 1"/>
<checkbox label="Option 2"/>
<radiogroup>
<radio label="Apple"/>
<radio label="Orange" checked="true"/>
<radio label="Lemon"/>
</radiogroup>
</row>
<row>
<checkbox checked="true" label="Option 1"/>
<checkbox label="Option 2"/>
<radiogroup orient="vertical">
<radio label="Apple"/>
<radio label="Orange" checked="true"/>
<radio label="Lemon"/>
</radiogroup>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
[Since 7.0.0]
The browser's default scrollbar is replaced by floating scrollbar and it is not visible unless user mouse over on the
content. To turn off the floating scrollbar and use original scrollbar, please add the following configuration in
zk.xml.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.nativebar</name>
<value>true</value>
</library-property>
Auxiliary Headers
In addition to columns headers, you can specify auxiliary headers with the auxhead and auxheader
components as follows.
<grid>
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="H1'07" colspan="6"/>
<auxheader label="H2'07" colspan="6"/>
</auxhead>
<auxhead>
Grid 87
The auxiliary headers support the colspan and rowspan attributes that the column headers don't. Auxiliary
headers must be placed in relation to a column. Without the specific declaration of columns auxiliary headers are
ignored.
Unlike column/columns, which can only be used with grid, auxhead/auxheader can be used with grid,
listbox and tree.
<grid width="200px">
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
</auxhead>
<columns><!-- this is wrong since the number of column components is smaller -->
<column label="B"/>
<column label="C"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<row>
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/><!-- four columns -->
</row>
Grid 88
</rows>
</grid>
As shown above, the column with label C will be invisible, because the fakers are not created correctly. Here is the
result but wrong DOM structure:
There is a simple workaround: specify all columns. If you don't want to show all columns, you could use Auxheader
instead of Column, and then add an empty Columns. For example, the code in the previous example can be fixed as
follows:
<grid width="200px">
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
</auxhead>
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="B"/>
<auxheader label="C"/>
</auxhead>
<columns/> <!-- use an empty columns to make fakers created correctly -->
<rows>
<row>
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
Grid 89
The other limitation is that the width of the Auxheader component will depend the Column component. Thus, if
you'd like to specify the width in the Column component, please note that it will take some space even if there are no
label in all Column components. The workaround is simple: make the empty Columns component invisible. For
example,
<grid width="350px">
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
</auxhead>
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="B"/>
<auxheader label="C"/>
</auxhead>
<columns visible="false"><!-- make it invisible -->
<column width="100px"/><!-- specify width here -->
<column width="150px"/>
<column width="50px"/>
<column width="50px"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<row>
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
SizedByContent
By default, the widths of columns have to be specified explicitly, or it will be split equally among columns
regardless what content they might have. If you want to have the minimal width (that fit the content), you could
specify hflex="min" at the column (not the grid).
However, the grid has a special mode called sized-by-content (Grid.setSizedByContent(boolean) [12]). By specifying
it to true, the column width will be adjusted automatically. However, as it is controlled by the browser, you will have
no 100% control of it. For example, if an user resized a column, the final width might not be exactly the same as
what he resized.
Grid 90
In general, we suggest to specify hflex in column, rather than specifying sizedByContent at grid for much more
predictable result.
Span
By default, when sizedByContent is true, column only take required space.
If wanna to span the width of the columns to occupy the whole grid, you could specify true to this attribute
Sizable
If you allow users to resize the width of your columns, you can set the sizable attribute of your columns as
true. Once allowed, users can resize the widths of columns by dragging the border between adjacent column
components.

[Since 5.0.0]
Grid 92
Spans
It is a list of comma separated integers, controlling whether to span a cell over several columns. The first number in
the list denotes the number of columns the first cell shall span. The second number denotes the number of columns
the second cell will span and so on. If a number is omitted, 1 is assumed.
For example,
<grid>
<columns>
<column label="Left" align="left"/><column label="Center" align="center"/>
<column label="Right" align="right"/><column label="Column 4"/>
<column label="Column 5"/><column label="Column 6"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<row>
<label value="Item A.1"/><label value="Item A.2"/>
<label value="Item A.3"/><label value="Item A.4"/>
<label value="Item A.5"/><label value="Item A.6"/>
</row>
<row spans="1,2,2">
<label value="Item B.1"/><label value="Item B.2"/>
<label value="Item B.4"/><label value="Item B.6"/>
</row>
<row spans="3">
<label value="Item C.1"/><label value="Item C.4"/>
<label value="Item C.5"/><label value="Item C.6"/>
</row>
<row spans=",,2,2">
<label value="Item D.1"/><label value="Item D.2"/>
<label value="Item D.3"/><label value="Item D.5"/>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
Grid 93
Visible Rows
[Since 8.5.0]
The visibleRows attribute is used to control how many rows are visible. By setting it to zero, the grid will resize
itself to hold as many as items if possible.
Master Detail
Grid supports master-detail concepts which enables developers to add more information on each row. For example,
<rows>
<row>
<detail open="true">
<hlayout>
<image sclass="myimg" width="100px" height="100px"
src="/img/item1.jpg" />
// omitted...
</hlayout>
</detail>
Columns Menu
For example,
<zk>
<grid>
<columns menupopup="auto">
<column label="Author" sort="auto"/>
<column label="Title" sort="auto"/>
<column label="Publisher" sort="auto"/>
<column label="Hardcover" sort="auto"/>
</columns>
// omitted...
</grid>
</zk>
[ZK EE]
[Since 6.5.0]
Note: If the Grid contains with Model, GroupsModel, you have to register an onUngroup event for column to show
an ungroup icon and then replace the current model with a ListModel to reset the group.
For example,
<zk>
<zscript><![CDATA[
int cnt = 0;
};
row.appendChild(new Label(obj.toString()));
} else {
row.appendChild(new Label(data[0].toString()));
row.appendChild(new Label(data[1].toString()));
row.appendChild(new Label(data[2].toString()));
row.appendChild(new Label(data[3].toString()));
row.appendChild(new Label(data[4].toString()));
}
Grid 96
listmodel.add(foods[i]);
true));
]]></zscript>
<columns menupopup="auto">
</columns>
</grid>
</zk>
Cell Component
In ZK5, we have introduced a new component named Cell which can be embedded into a Grid or Box (Hbox and
Vbox) to fully control the layout and the style. You can now use the rowspan or the colspan property to layout your
Grid, for example a content cell can now cross over multiple rows. The code below demonstrates how to do this:
<row>
<cell sclass="years" rowspan="12">
...
</cell>
</row>
[Since 5.0.0]
Group Component
Both Grid, and Listbox support Grouping concept, it enables developers to display data in an advanced way.
Moreover, live data are also supported in Grouping Grid, and Listbox with the GroupsModel [14] interface..

Listbox 125
Listbox
Listbox
• Demonstration: Listbox [1]
• Java API: Listbox [2]
• JavaScript API: Listbox [3]
• Style Guide: Listbox
Employment/Purpose
Components: listbox, listitem, listcell, listhead and listheader.
A list box is used to display a number of items in a list. The user may select an item from the list. Although
listhead is optional, if it exists, notice that the number of listheader should equal the number of
listcell, so that listbox can display its content correctly. If listhead contains no listheader, the
listbox will display nothing in its content.
Example
<listitem>
<listcell label="Henry" />
<listcell label="MALE" />
</listitem>
<listfoot>
<listfooter>
<label value="This is footer1" />
</listfooter>
<listfooter>
<label value="This is footer2" />
</listfooter>
</listfoot>
</listbox>
</window>
Select Mold
The Listbox has two molds: default and select. If the select mold is used, the HTML's SELECT tag is
generated instead.
<listbox mold="select">
<listitem label="Matthew"/>
<listitem label="Macus"/>
<listitem label="Lucas"/>
<listitem label="John"/>
</listbox>
Note: if the mold is "select", rows is "1", and none of the items are marked as selected, the browser will
display the listbox as if the first item is selected. Worst of all, if user selects the first item in this case, no
onSelect event is sent. To avoid this confusion, developers should select at least one item when using
mold="select" and rows="1".
In addition to each items label, you can assign an application-specific value to each item using the setValue
method.
Since 8.6.0
<listbox mold="select">
<listgroup label="Support"/>
<listitem label="Matthew"/>
<listitem label="Macus"/>
Listbox 127

</listitem>
</listbox>
</zk>
Notes:
1. Don't use a list box, when a grid is a better choice. The appearances of list boxes and grids are similar, but the
listbox should only be used to represent a list of selectable items.
2. Users are usually confused if a listbox contains editable components such as a textbox or a checkbox.
3. Due to the limitation of the browsers, users cannot select a range of characters from text boxes.
Listbox 128
Paging
Like grids, you can use multiple pages to represent large content by setting the mold to paging. Similarly, you can
control how many items each page displays, whether to use an external paging component and whether to customize
the behavior when a page is selected.
The listbox and grid components support the paging intrinsically, so you don't need to specify a paging
component explicitly as above unless you want to have different visual layout or to control multiple listbox and
gridcontrols with one paging component.
Please refer to the Grid for more details.
Autopaging
When using the paging mold and vflex, you could also turn on autopaging (Listbox.setAutopaging(boolean) [4]) such
that the page size will be adjusted automatically based on the available space.
[Since 5.0.2]
Note: If the autopaging is enabled, the height of each row will be applied the following CSS by default. If you want
to change the height, please overwrite the CSS rule as your preference.
.z-listbox-autopaging .z-listcell-cnt {
height: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
}
[Since 5.0.8]
[Since 7.0.3]
.z-listbox-autopaging .z-listitem {
height: 80px; /* set custom height */
}
.z-listbox-autopaging .z-listcell-content {
height: auto; /* remove the default height
*/
max-height: 58px; /* limit the height to avoid long
text increasing the height */
}
Listbox 129
PagingDisabled
[Since 8.0.3]
Once the pagingDisabled is set to true, users will be blocked from navigating through the pagination.
Selection
Nonselectable Tags
[Since 5.0.5]
By default, when a user clicks on an HTML <button>, <input>, <textarea> or <a> tag, it doesn't
change the selection. For example, when a user clicks the textbox in the following example, the selection state of the
item won't be changed (only the textbox gains the focus).
<listitem>
<listcell>
<textbox/>
</listcell>
</listitem>
<listbox nonselectableTags="">
<listitem><listcell><textbox/></listcell></listitem>
<listitem><listcell><button label="button"/></listcell></listitem>
<listitem><listcell><h:input xmlns:h="native"/></listcell></listitem>
<listitem><listcell><datebox/></listcell></listitem>
</listbox>
If you only want to ignore BUTTON and INPUT only, you could specify:
<!-- The tag here means HTML tag, not ZUL tag -->
<listbox nonselectableTags="button, input"/>
If you want to toggle the selection only when the user clicks on the checkmark, you could specify *. Notice that you
have to specify checkmark="true" as well (otherwise, no item is selectable).
This setting also allows to select and copy a text in a listcell with ctrl+c.
</listcell>
</listitem>
</listbox>
Multiple Selection
[since 6.0.0]
When a user clicks on a list item, the whole row is selected and the onSelect event is sent back to the server to
notify the application. You are able to enable multiple selections by setting the multiple attribute to true. The
default value is false.
If there is no checkmark (by default checkmark="false"), then click to select one item will deselect others,
just like you select a file in a file browser in a OS.
To select multiple items, you can:
• press Ctrl to select separate items:
...
List Items = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
Items.add("data "+i);
}
ListModelList model = new ListModelList(Items);
model.setMultiple(true);
...
In the following example, you will notice how a checkbox is added automatically when you move a list item from
the left listbox to the right one. The checkbox is then removed when you move a list item from the right listbox to
the left listbox.

if (s == null)
Messagebox.show("Select an item first");
else
s.setParent(dst);
}
</zscript>
Listbox 133
</hbox>
</zk>
Note: If the multiple attribute is false, radio buttons are displayed instead, as demonstrated by the right hand
listbox.
To enable Select all feature, there are some constraints as below:
Since ZK 5.0.11
Since ZK 8.0.0
If paging mold is enabled, the Select all checkbox in listheader is only available when using a ListModel
implementation as model. (e.g. ListModelList)
[Since ZK 6.5.5]
The Select all checkbox on listheader now support onCheckSelectAll event that can determine whether it is checked
or not.
If a listbox's checkmark (Listbox.isCheckmark() [7]) is set to true, the selection will be toggled when an user clicks
an item. In other words, all other items will remain their selection state.
If you prefer to deselect all other items and select the item being clicked (which the behavior of ZK 5.0.4 and
earlier), you could specify true to this library property called
org.zkoss.zul.listbox.checkmarkDeselectOthers in WEB-INF/zk.xml:
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.listbox.checkmarkDeselectOthers</name>
<value>true</value>
</library-property>
If a listbox's checkmark (Listbox.isCheckmark() [7]) is enabled, the selection will be toggled when user right click on
item.
If you prefer not to select/deselect item on right click, you could specify false to this library property called
org.zkoss.zul.listbox.rightSelect in WEB-INF/zk.xml:
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.listbox.rightSelect</name>
<value>false</value>
</library-property>
Sort
Sorting
List boxes support sorting of list items directly. There are a few ways to enable the sorting of a particular column.
The simplest way is to set the sort attribute of the list header to auto as demonstrated by the code below. Then,
the column that the list header is associated with is sort-able based on the label of each list cell of the that column.
<zk>
<listbox width="200px">
<listhead>
<listheader label="name" sort="auto"/>
<listheader label="gender" sort="auto"/>
</listhead>
Listbox 135
<listitem>
<listcell label="Mary"/>
<listcell label="FEMALE"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="John"/>
<listcell label="MALE"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Jane"/>
<listcell label="FEMALE"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Henry"/>
<listcell label="MALE"/>
</listitem>
</listbox>
</zk>
<zscript>
Comparator asc = new ListitemComarator(-1, true, true);
Comparator dsc = new ListitemComarator(-1, false, true);
</zscript>
<listbox>
<listhead>
<listheader sortAscending="${asc}" sortDescending="${dsc}"/>
...
<listheader sortDirection="ascending"/>
Sorting is maintained automatically by the listboxes as long as you assign the comparator to the corresponding list
header.
Listbox 136
The default sorting algorithm is quick-sort (by use of the sort method from the
org.zkoss.zk.ui.Components class). You can override it with your own implementation or listen to the
onSort event as described in the previous section.
Tip: Sorting a large amount of live data could degrade the performance significantly. It is better to intercept the
onSort event or the sort method to handle it effectively. Please refer to the Sort Live Data section further down.
Auto-sorting on Fields
In the following example, we demonstrate how to sort person object based on its First Name, Last Name, or Age.
class Person {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private int age;
age = a;
}
Live Data
Like grid[9], listbox supports live data. With live data, developers can separate data from the view. In other words,
developers need only to provide the data by implementing the ListModel [7] interface, rather than manipulating the
list box directly.
The benefits are twofold:
• It is easier to use different views to display the same set of data.
• The list box sends the data to the client only if it is visible. This saves a lot of network traffic if there is a large
amount of data.
There are three steps to make use of live data.
[7] [8]
1 Prepare the data in the form of a ListModel . ZK has a concrete implementation called SimpleListModel for
representing an array of objects.
2 Implement the ListitemRenderer [10] interface for rendering a item of data into the listbox.
• This is optional. If it is not specified the default renderer is used to render the data into the first column.
• You can implement different renderers for representing the same data in different views.
3 Set the data in the model attribute and, optionally, the renderer in the itemRenderer attribute.
In the following example, we prepared a list model called strset, assigned it to a list box through the model
attribute. Then, the listbox will do the rest.
</window>
When a user wants to sort the listbox, the listbox will invoke sort(java.util.Comparator,boolean) (http:/ / www.
zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ ext/ Sortable. html#sort(java. util. Comparator,boolean)) to sort the
data. In other words, the sorting is done by the list model, rather than the listbox.
After sorting, the list model will notify the listbox by invoking the
ListDataListener.onChange(org.zkoss.zul.event.ListDataEvent) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/
zkoss/ zul/ event/ ListDataListener. html#onChange(org. zkoss. zul. event. ListDataEvent)) method of the listbox'
registered ListDataListener (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ event/ ListDataListener.
html#) instances. These are registered by ListModel.addListDataListener(org.zkoss.zul.event.ListDataListener)
(http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ ListModel. html#addListDataListener(org. zkoss. zul.
event.ListDataListener)). In most cases, all the data is changed, so the list model usually sends the following event:
Note: the implementation of the ListModel (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ ListModel.
html#) and Sortable (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ ext/ Sortable. html#) is
independent of the visual presentation. In other words, they can be used with grids, listboxes and any other
components supporting ListModel (http://www.zkoss.org/javadoc/latest/zk/org/zkoss/zul/ListModel.html#).
If you require maximum flexibility, you should not depend on the actual component used, and instead use
ListDataEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ event/ ListDataEvent. html#) to
communicate model changes.
Listbox 140
Properties
Single-Column Listboxes
The simplest format is as follows. It is a single-column and single-selection list box.
<zk>
<listbox width="200px">
<listitem label="Butter Pecan"/>
<listitem label="Chocolate Chip"/>
<listitem label="Raspberry Ripple"/>
</listbox>
</zk>
Multi-Column Listboxes
The list box also supports multiple columns. When a user selects an item, the entire row is selected.
To define a multi-column list, the number of listcells must match the number of columns with a row. For example if
there are 4 columns then each row must contain 4 listcells.
<zk>
<listbox width="200px">
<listitem>
<listcell label="George"/>
<listcell label="House Painter"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Mary Ellen"/>
<listcell label="Candle Maker"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Roger"/>
<listcell label="Swashbuckler"/>
</listitem>
</listbox>
</zk>
Listbox 141
Column Headers
You can specify column headers by using listhead and listheader, please see the code below[1]. In addition
to label, you can specify an image as the header by use of the image attribute.
<zk>
<listbox width="200px">
<listhead>
<listheader label="Name"/>
<listheader label="Occupation"/>
</listhead>
...
</listbox>
</zk>
[1] This feature is a bit different from XUL, where listhead and listheader are used.
Column Footers
You could specify the column footers by using listfoot and listfooter. Please note, each time a
listhead instance is added to a list box, it must be the first child, and a listfoot instance the last child.
<zk>
<listbox width="200px">
<listhead>
<listheader label="Population"/>
<listheader align="right" label="%"/>
</listhead>
<listitem id="a" value="A">
<listcell label="A. Graduate"/>
<listcell label="20%"/>
</listitem>
<listitem id="b" value="B">
Listbox 142
Auxiliary Headers
Like grids, you can specify auxiliary headers with the auxhead and auxheader components.
Please refer to the Grid for more details.
Drop-Down List
You can create a drop-down list by setting the listbox's mold to select and making the box a single row. Notice you
cannot use multi-column for the drop-down list.
<zk>
<listbox mold="select" rows="1">
<listitem label="Car"/>
<listitem label="Taxi"/>
<listitem label="Bus" selected="true"/>
<listitem label="Train"/>
</listbox>
</zk>
Listbox 143
Scrollable Listboxes
A list box will be scrollable if it has a defined or automatically calculated height (e.g. by specifying the rows,
height or vflex attribute) and there is not enough space to display all the list items.
<zk>
<listbox width="250px" rows="4">
<listhead>
<listheader label="Name" sort="auto"/>
<listheader label="Gender" sort="auto"/>
</listhead>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Mary"/>
<listcell label="FEMALE"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="John"/>
<listcell label="MALE"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Jane"/>
<listcell label="FEMALE"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Henry"/>
<listcell label="MALE"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell label="Michelle"/>
<listcell label="FEMALE"/>
</listitem>
</listbox>
</zk>
[Since 7.0.0]
The browser's default scrollbar is replaced by floating scrollbar and it is not visible unless user mouse over on the
content. To turn off the floating scrollbar and use original scrollbar, please add the following configuration in
zk.xml.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.nativebar</name>
Listbox 144
<value>true</value>
</library-property>
SizedByContent
By default, the widths of columns have to be specified explicitly, or it will be split equally among columns
regardless what content they might have. If you want to have the minimal width (that fit the content), you could
specify hflex="min" at the column (not the listbox).
However, the listbox has a special mode called sized-by-content ( Listbox.setSizedByContent(boolean) (http:/ /
www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Listbox. html#setSizedByContent(boolean))). By specifying it
to true, the column width will be adjusted automatically. However, it is controlled by the browser, so you will have
no 100% control of it. For example, if an user resized a column, the final width might not be exactly the same as
what he resized.
In general, we suggest to specify hflex in column, rather than specifying sizedByContent at listbox for much more
predictable result.
Span
By default, when sizedByContent is true, column only take required space.
If wanna to span the width of the columns to occupy the whole listbox, you could specify true to this attribute
[Since 5.0.5]
Listbox 145
Rows
The rows attribute is used to control how many rows are visible. By setting it to zero, the list box will resize itself
to hold as many as items if possible.
Vflex
The vflex property controls whether the listbox will grow or shrink vertically to fit the given space. It is named
vertical flexibility. For example, if the list is too big to fit in the browser window, its height will decrease to make the
whole list control visible in the browser window.
This property is ignored if the rows attribute is specified.
<listhead sizable="true">
<listheader label="Type" width="520px" />
<listheader label="Content" hflex="min" />
<listheader label="Content" hflex="1" />
</listhead>
</listbox>
Listbox 146
Maxlength
The maxlength property defines the maximum number of characters visible at the browser. By setting this
attribute, you are able to create a narrower list box.
Sizable
Like columns, you can set the sizable attribute of the listhead to true to allow users to resize the width
of list headers. The onColSize event is also sent when a user resizes listbox.

Note: If the Listbox contains with Model, GroupsModel, you have to register an onUngroup event for listheader to
show an ungroup icon and then replace the current model with a ListModel to reset the group.
For example,
<zk>
<zscript><![CDATA[

new Object[] { "Seafood", "Salmon", "Tryptophan", 103, 261},
new Object[] { "Seafood", "Cod", "Tryptophan", 90, 119}
};
public class FoodGroupRenderer implements ListitemRenderer {
public void render(Listitem row, Object obj, int index) {
if (row instanceof Listgroup) {
row.setLabel(obj.toString());
} else {
Object[] data = (Object[]) obj;
row.appendChild(new Listcell(data[0].toString()));
row.appendChild(new Listcell(data[1].toString()));
row.appendChild(new Listcell(data[2].toString()));

}
ListModelList listmodel = new ListModelList();
for (int i = 0; i < foods.length; i++)
listmodel.add(foods[i]);
ListitemRenderer renderer = new FoodGroupRenderer();

Listgroup Component
Both Grid, and Listbox support Grouping concept, it enables developers to display data in an advanced way.
Moreover, live data are also supported in Grouping Grid, and Listbox with the GroupsModel (http:/ / www. zkoss.

Tree
Tree
• Demonstration: Tree [1]
• Java API: Tree [2]
• JavaScript API: Tree [3]
• Style Guide: Tree
Employment/Purpose
A tree consists of three parts, the set of columns, the set of footers, and the tree body. The set of columns is defined
by a number of treecol components, one for each column. Each column will appear as a header at the top of the tree.
The second part, The set of footers is defined by a number of treefooter components, one for each column also. Each
column will appear as a footer at the bottom of the tree. The third part, the tree body, contains the data to appear in
the tree and is created with a treechildren component.
Although treecols is optional, if it exists, notice that the number of its child (treecol) should equal the number of
treecell, so that tree can display its content correctly. If treecols contains no treecol, the tree will display nothing in
its content.

Example
2-Column Tree
</treechildren>

Change Style
To change the style of tree icon, you may call setZclass(String style). Four built in style includes
"z-tree","z-dottree","z-filetree","z-vfiletree"
Since ZK 7.0.0
Since ZK 7.0.0, the dottree, filetree and vfiletree styles are deprecated because designs are changed.
Paging
Autopaging
When using the paging mold and vflex, you could also turn on autopaging (boolean) Tree.setAutopaging( boolean)
[4]
) such that the page size will be adjusted automatically based on the available space.
[Since 5.0.2]
Note: If enable the autopaging, the height of each row will be applied the following CSS by default. If you want to
change the height, please overwrite the CSS rule as your preference.
.z-tree-autopaging .z-treecell-cnt,
.z-dottree-autopaging .z-treecell-cnt,
.z-filetree-autopaging .z-treecell-cnt,
.z-vfiletree-autopaging .z-treecell-cnt {
height: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
}
[Since 5.0.8]
[Since 7.0.3]
PagingDisabled
[Since 8.0.3]
Once the pagingDisabled is set to true, users will be blocked from navigating through the pagination.
Frozen Component
In ZK 7 you are now able to freeze columns within a Tree. This mirrors functionality seen within Excel and makes
data in these components easier to read, interpret and handle.
The following code demonstrates how to freeze a column within a Tree:
</treecols>
<treechildren>
<treeitem>
<treerow>
<treecell>0001</treecell>
<treecell>1</treecell>
<treecell>closed</treecell>
<treecell>Fix login issue</treecell>
<treecell>Login does not work at all</treecell>
</treerow>
</treeitem>
<treeitem>

<treecell>Client search result</treecell>
<treecell>Search service returns incomplete result</treecell>
</treerow>
</treeitem>
</treechildren>
</tree>
[Since 7.0.0]
Selection
Nonselectable Tags
[5.0.5]
By default, when an user clicks on a BUTTON, INPUT, TEXTAREA or A tag, the selection state of the item won't
be changed. For example, when an user clicks the textbox in the following example, the selection state of the item
won't be changed (only the textbox gains the focus).
<treeitem>
<treerow>
<treecell><textbox/></treecell>
Sometimes it is not intuitive, such as using with inplace editing (InputElement.isInplace() [5]). If you want to have
more control of whether to select an item, you could specify a list of tags in the nonselectableTags property
(Tree.setNonselectableTags(java.lang.String) [5]). For example, if you want to select the item, no matter what tag the
user clicks, you could specify an empty string as follows.
<tree nonselectableTags="">
<treechildren>
<treeitem>
<treerow>
<treecell><textbox/></treecell>
If you want to toggle the selection only when the user clicks on the checkmark, you could specify * ([since 5.0.6]).
Notice that you have to specify checkmark="true" as well (otherwise, no item is selectable).
Multiple Selection
When the user clicks on a tree item, the whole item is selected and the onSelect event is sent back to the server
to notify the application. You can control whether a tree control allows multiple selections by setting the
multiple attribute to true. The default value is false.
Note: If you use a model, the multiple attribute should be set to the model instead of the tree itself.
The checkmark attribute controls whether to display a checkbox or a radio button in front of each tree item. If the
multiple attribute is set to true and the checkmark is set to true then a checkbox will be displayed in front of
every item. However, if multiple is set to false then a radio button will be displayed instead.

Properties
Auxiliary Headers
Like grids, you can specify auxiliary headers with the auxhead and auxheader components.
Please refer to the Grid for more details.
SizedByContent
By default, the widths of columns have to be specified explicitly, or it will be split equally among columns
regardless what content they might have. If you want to have the minimal width (that fit the content), you could
specify hflex="min" at the column (not the tree).
However, the tree has a special mode called sized-by-content (Tree.setSizedByContent(boolean) [7]). By specifying
it to true, the column width will be adjusted automatically. However, it is controlled by the browser, so have have no
100% control of it. For example, if an user resized a column, the final width might not be exactly the same as what
he resized.
In general, we suggest to specify hflex in column, rather than specifying sizedByContent at tree for much more
predictable result.
Tree 180
Rows
The rows attribute is used to control how many rows are visible. By setting it to zero, the tree control will resize
itself to hold as many as items as possible.
Vflex
The vflex attribute controls whether to grow or shrink vertically to fit their given space. It is so-called vertical
flexibility. For example, if the tree is too big to fit in the browser window, it will shrink to make the whole tree
visible in the browser window.
This property is ignored if the rows attribute is specified.
Maxlength
The maxlength attribute defines the maximal allowed characters being visible at the browser. By setting this
property, you can make a narrower tree control.
Sizable
Like columns, you can set the sizable attribute of treecols to true in order to allow users to resize the
width of the tree headers. Similarly, the onColSize event is sent when a user resizes the widths.
When you want to resize a column of a Tree or Listbox, all you now need to do is double click the column when the
mouse is over where the columns meet and the column will automatically resize to fit its contents. To enable this
functionality Tree's treecols need the attribute sizable="true". In other words, all sizable column provides the
auto-fitting functionality.
Scrollable Tree
A tree will be scrollable if you specify the rows attribute or the height attribute and there is not enough space to
display all the tree items.
<tree rows="4">
<treecols>
<treecol label="Name"/>
<treecol label="Description"/>
</treecols>
<treechildren>
<treeitem>
<treerow>
<treecell label="Item 1"/>
Tree 181
[Since 7.0.0]
The browser's default scrollbar is replaced by floating scrollbar and it is not visible unless user mouse over on the
content. To turn off the floating scrollbar and use original scrollbar, please add the following configuration in
zk.xml.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.nativebar</name>
<value>true</value>
</library-property>
Tree 182
<treeitem open="false">
When a user clicks on the +/- button, he opens the tree item and makes its children visible. The onOpen event is
then sent to the server to notify the application.
For sophisticated applications, you can defer the creation of the content of the tree item or manipulate its content
dynamically until the onOpen event is received. Refer to the Load on Demand section in the ZK User Interface
Markup Language chapter for details.

Employment/Purpose
Treeitem contains a row of data (treerow), and an optional treechildren.
If the component doesn't contain a treechildren, it is a leaf node that doesn't accept any child items.
If it contains a treechildren, it is a branch node that might contain other items.
For a branch node, an +/- button will appear at the beginning of the row, such that user could open and close the item
by clicking on the +/- button.
Example
<treeitem label="hello"/>
is equivalent to
<treeitem>
<treerow>
<treecell label="hello"/>
</treerow>
It also means you cannot attach a treerow child to the treeitem, after setImage or setLabel was invoked. It means,
though a bit subtle, the following will cause an exception:

Biglistbox 207
Employment/Purpose
A component to handle a huge data sets and provides the same and as many as the functionalities of Listbox
including selection, sorting, keystroke navigation, ROD(rendering-on-demand), and so on..
Example
<template name="heads">
<html><![CDATA[
]]></html>
</template>
<template name="rows">
<html><![CDATA[
]]></html>
</template> -->
</biglistbox>
As you can see, we utilize two attributes - rowIndex & colIndex from the matrixInfo object to receive the current
index during template rendering phase.
Biglistbox 208
Model/Renderer
MatrixModel
By default, ZK does not provide a built-in model implementation class for MatrixModel [3] because Biglistbox is
designed to handle unlimited data set, therefore, there is no need to handle model data in memory. This usage is
application-dependent and varies from case to case. However, you can extend your own implementation from the
AbstractListModel [4] skeleton class. For more details, please refer to this smalltalk.
MatrixRenderer
Here is an implementation example of MatrixRenderer [5]
new MatrixRenderer<List<String>>() {
@Override
public String renderCell(Component owner, List<String> data,
int rowIndex, int colIndex) throws Exception {
String d = data.get(colIndex);
d = d.replace("ZK", "<span class='red' title='ZK'>ZK</span>")
.replace("Hello", "<span class='blue' title='Hello'>Hello</span>");
return "<div class='images_" + (colIndex%28) + "' title='x=" +
colIndex + ",y=" + rowIndex + "'>" + d + "</div>";
}
@Override
public String renderHeader(Component owner, List<String> data,
int rowIndex, int colIndex) throws Exception {
return "<div class='images_" + (colIndex % 28) + "' title='"
+ images[colIndex % 28] + "'>" +
data.get(colIndex)
+ "</div>";
}
}
As you can see, we must implement two methods - renderCell and renderHeader defined by MatrixRenderer to
generate the HTML output string for cells and headers. In the MatrixRenderer interface, the two methods we
designed allow developers to generate any kind of HTML result for display, you can use either MatrixRenderer
interface or Template function to render the content for Biglistbox.

Chart 212
Employment/Purpose
A chart is used to show a set of data as a graph. It helps users to judge things with a snapshot. To use a chart
component , developers must prepare a ChartModel and a ChartEngine. Developers also set proper chart
type, and the threeD (3D) attribute to draw proper chart. The model and type must match to each other; or the result
is unpredictable. The 3D chart is not supported on all chart type.

Gmaps
Gmaps
• Demonstration: Gmaps [1]
• Java API: in release zip [2]
• JavaScript API: N/A
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
Components: gmaps, ginfo, gmarker, gpolyline, gpolygon, gimage, and gscreen.
A gmaps is a maps component that wraps the famous Google Maps service that you can control it and embedded it
in your ZK web application page in pure Java. Inside the gmap, you can manipulate your maps and add contents to
the maps to create convenient locality related web application. You can add ginfo to represent an anchored
information window for the maps. You can add multiple gmarkers to indicate a special location. You can add
gpolyline and gpolygon to indicate a path or an area. You can also overlay gimage and gscreen to
indicate very special places.
Authentication
API Key
Important: Since 2016 an API Key is mandatory [3] in order to use the gmaps API. The APIKey is defined as a
global JS variable as in the examples below. Also check out the trouble shooting section. NOTE: You'll have to
upgrade to version 3.0.4 (older versions don't work anymore)
See Example below.
Client ID
Alternatively you can specify a client-id using the client-property <gmaps client="YOUR_CLIENT_ID"/>
Gmaps 270
Example
<!-- you may wish specify the version of google map api manually for some reason,
use version="[version]" to do it.
ex: <gmaps version="3.25" id="mymap" ... /> -->
<gmaps id="mymap" width="500px" height="300px" showSmallCtrl="true">
<ginfo id="myinfo" open="true">

Employment/Purpose
The JasperReport component is based on JasperReports Library, a report generator (e.g. XML generator, PDF
generator etc.). This component is used to generate a Jasper report into an inline frame.
Example
<zscript>
import org.zkoss.zkdemo.userguide.CustomDataSource;
//Preparing parameters
Map parameters = new HashMap();
parameters.put("ReportTitle", "Address Report");
parameters.put("DataFile", "CustomDataSource from
Jasperreport 287
java");
report.setSrc("/data/jasperreport.jasper");
report.setParameters(parameters);
report.setDatasource(new CustomDataSource());
report.setType("pdf");
</zscript>
One-Page-Per-Sheet Property
In Jasperreport engine, this property is default to be false. However, the default behavior is turned on in the
Jasperreport component, in which case when the report is exported as Excel format there will be one sheet generated
for each page. To override this setting, set it as an export parameter as the following:
exportParams.put(JRXlsAbstractExporterParameter.PROPERTY_ONE_PAGE_PER_SHEET.toString(),
false);
parameters.put("exportParameter", exportParams);
report.setParameters(parameters); // report is the Jasperreport
component
exportName
[ since 8.6.1 ]
You can specify the export file name for the download if any, the full file name will be exportName + "." + format.
Note: exportName can not be empty or null.
Default: "report"
<jasperreport exportName="test"/>

[1]
Deprecated, please use new Timeline instead
Employment/Purpose
Timeline [2]is a DHTML-based Ajax widget for visualizing time-based events developed by SIMILE project of MIT.
It is like Google Maps for time-based information.
A timeline contains one or more Bands, which can be panned infinitely by dragging with the mouse pointer, using
the mouse scroll-wheel or the keyboard's arrow buttons.
A band can be configured to synchronize with another band such that panning one band also scrolls the other.
Example
timeline_ex1.xml
<data>
<event start="Oct 1 2010 00:00:00 GMT" end="Oct 1 2010 00:00:00 GMT"
title="Friend's wedding">

Employment/Purpose
Defines the plotinfo of a timeplot.
A plot layer is the main building block for timeplots and it's the object that is responsible for painting the plot itself.
Each plot needs to have a time geometry, either a DataSource (for time series plots) or an EventSource (for event
plots) and a value geometry in case of time series plots.

A 303
A
A
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: A [1]
• JavaScript API: A [2]
• Style Guide: A
Employment/Purpose
The same as HTML A tag.
Properties
Autodisable
A.setAutodisable(java.lang.String) [3] is used to disable an anchor automatically, when it is clicked. It is useful to
prevent the user from clicking it twice (and firing redundant requests), which is common if the request takes long to
serve.
The simplest use is to specify it with self as follows. Then, the anchor is disabled when it is clicked.
If you'd like to disable several anchors, you could specify all of them in this property by separating with a comma.
For example, the following disables both anchors, when one of them is clicked.
The anchor will be enabled automatically, after the request has been served (i.e., the response has been sent back to
the client). If you prefer to enable them manually (i.e., by calling A.setDisabled(boolean) [4] explicitly), you could
prefix the ID with a plus (+). For example,
Then, you could enable them manually under the situation depending on your application's requirement, such as
if (something_happens) {
ok.setDisabled(false);
cancel.setDisabled(false);
}

Example
Notice that a child component might also handle the mouse click, so the final result of clicking on a child component
is really up to which child component is used.
The href attribute can be an URI. For example,
If the URI starts with "/", ZK will encode it with the application's context path. Otherwise the path is relative to the
path given by Desktop.getDirectory().

Button 308
Button
Button
• Demonstration: Button [1] and Fileupload
• Java API: Button [2]
• JavaScript API: Button [3]
• Style Guide: Button
Employment/Purpose
You could assign a label and an image to a button by the label and image properties. If both are specified,
the dir property control which is displayed up front, and the orient property controls whether the layout is
horizontal or vertical.
Within ZK 5, the file upload has been redesigned so it can be integrated with any widget. For example, the button
now can be used to upload a file. In addition to this, the display of the upload status has been enhanced and can be
customized easily.
Example
In addition to employing URLs to specify images, you can dynamically assign a generated image to a button using
the setImageContent method. Refer to the following section for details.
Tip: The setImageContent method is supplied by all components that have an image property. Simply put,
setImageContent is used for dynamically generated images, while image is used for images identifiable by a
URL.
File Upload
Any button[4] can be used to upload files. All you need to do is:
1. Specify the upload attribute with true
2. Handles the onUpload event.
When the file is uploaded, an instance of UploadEvent [5] is sent to the button. Then, the event listener can retrieve
the uploaded content by examining the return value of UploadEvent.getMedia() [6].

Properties
Autodisable
Button.setAutodisable(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Button.
html#setAutodisable(java. lang. String)) is used to disable a button automatically, when it is clicked. It is useful to

Href
In addition to handling the onClick event, you could specify the URL in the href property (
Button.setHref(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Button.
html#setHref(java. lang. String))), such that the browser will navigate to the URL you specified directly (without
sending back any request to the server). If you prefer to visit the URL in another browser window, you could specify
the name in Button.setTarget(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Button.
html#setTarget(java.lang.String)) (just like using a HTML A tag).
Notice that the end user could hold the Control key and click on the button to visit the link in a new browser
window (like a HTML A tag does).
<zk>
<window title="example">
<button label="click me" onClick="do_something_in_Java()"/>
<button label="don't click that one, click me" href="/another_page.zul"/>
</window>
</zk>
For end users, there is no difference between the use of Button.setHref(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/
javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Button. html#setHref(java. lang. String)) and
Executions.sendRedirect(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/
Executions.html#sendRedirect(java.lang.String)).
<zk>
<window>
<button label="redirect" onClick="Executions.sendRedirect("another.zul")"/>
<button label="href" href="another.zul"/>
</window>
</zk>
Since the onClick event is sent to the server for processing, you are able to perform additional tasks before invoking
Executions.sendRedirect(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/
Executions. html#sendRedirect(java. lang. String)), such as redirecting to another page only if certain conditions are
satisfied.
On the other hand, the href property is processed at the client side. Your application won't be notified when users
click the button.
Type
[Since 5.0.4]
Button.setType(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Button.
html#setType(java. lang. String)) sets the button's type. It is designed to work with the HTML FORM tag. You
rarely need it unless you want to work with HTML FORM and Servlets. For example,
Upload
By specifying the upload property ( Button.setUpload(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/
org/ zkoss/ zul/ Button. html#setUpload(java. lang. String))), you could make a button used for uploading files. For
example,
Once the file(s) are uploaded, the onUpload event will be sent with an instance of UploadEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss.
org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ UploadEvent. html#). And, you could retrieve the uploaded files
from UploadEvent.getMedia() (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ UploadEvent.
html#getMedia()) and UploadEvent.getMedias() (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/
event/UploadEvent.html#getMedias())
If you want to customize the handling of the file upload at the client, you can specify a JavaScript class when calling
this method:
<button upload="foo.Upload"/> <!-- assume you implement a JavaScript class: foo.Upload -->
<button label="Upload"
upload="true,maxsize=-1,multiple=true,accept=audio/*|video/*|image/*|MIME_type,
native"/>
where
• maxsize: the maximal allowed upload size of the component, in kilobytes, or a negative value if no limit.
• native: treating the uploaded file(s) as binary, i.e., not to convert it to image, audio or text files.
• multiple: treating the file chooser allows multiple files to upload, the setting only works with HTML5
supported browsers (since ZK 6.0.0)
• accept: specifies the MIME types of files that the server accepts, the setting only works with HTML5 supported
browsers (since ZK 7.0.0). MIME type list (http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.
xhtml).
If you want to customize the message about the file size exceeding max size, please refer to ZK Developer's
Reference/Internationalization.
For Example, (in WEB-INF/zk-label.properties)
MZul.2105=The request was rejected because its size ({0}) exceeds the
configured maximum ({1})
Notice that you can change the index {0} & {1} to choose the file size unit. (Auto:{0},{1} Byte:{2},{3} KB:{4},{5}
MB:{6},{7})

Dropupload 321
Dropupload
Dropupload
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Dropupload [1]
• JavaScript API: Dropupload [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
• Available in ZK EE only [13]
Employment/Purpose
Dropupload leverages HTML 5 technology to handle file uploading where users can simply drag and drop the
file(s) they want to upload into Dropupload and the uploading process will start automatically. The behaviour
and operation of this Dropupload component is similar to ZK's file upload button [3] but with better user
experience and performance.
Example
Following is a typical example of its implementation, it will always show component and limit the upload file size.
<vlayout>
</vlayout>
</zk>
Drop area
Dropupload 322
Maxsize
The maxsize attribute is used for limiting the file size of a single file in which users are allowed to upload. Users
are allowed to drag in two or more files at once but each of them has to be smaller than the size set by Maxsize. If
one of the files is larger than the size set by Maxsize, an error message will occur and nothing will be uploaded.
For example, in the case of the previous sample code, you can upload multiple files, say, four files that are smaller
than 5120KB at once but if one of them exceeds 5120KB, then an exception will occur and none of the four files will
be uploaded to the server.
The unit of MaxsizeM attribute is in KB. If it is not assigned a value, it will use the value of
Configuration.getMaxUploadSize() automatically while a negative value would mean that the file size is set as
unlimited.
Dropupload 323
Detection
This attribute will define what users see when they drag and drop files into the application i.e. how the
Dropupload component and its content will appear according to their action.
There are four valid values of detection :
• none : Ignore users' drag action, always show Dropupload and its content.
• browser (default setting) : Dropupload is not visible in the application initially but shows up along with the
content when users drag files into the browser.
• self : Dropupload is visible in the application initially but the content only appears when users drag files
into the component.
• id of another component : Behaviour of this value is almost identical to self, except that the trigger area is
inside the component of the appointed id.
The content value can be any HTML string and remember to surround the content value by CDATA block .
Note : A Dropupload with detection="browser" cannot be used with another Dropupload component
that has a different detection value; users won't be able to drag a file into the component successfully.
Anchor
since 7.0.2
This attribute allows the dropupload component to anchor to another component and overlay that component when
the user drag & drops files to the browser. Much like how Gmail works when dropping attachments to emails.
Example
<zk>
<div height="100px"></div>
<tabbox height="100px">
<tabs>
<tab id="A" label="Tab A" />
<tab id="B" label="Tab B" />
</tabs>
<tabpanels id="tps">
<tabpanel>This is panel A</tabpanel>
<tabpanel>This is panel B</tabpanel>
</tabpanels>
</tabbox>
<dropupload anchor="${tps}"></dropupload>
</zk>
Dropupload 324
MaxFileCount
Set the maximum number of files user can upload at once, -1 means no limitation, when number of upload files
exceed the maxFileCount, nothing will be uploaded and onMaxFileCountExceed event will be triggered, developer
can listen to onMaxFileCountExceed and get the number of upload files by calling event.getData().
Default: -1
For example (MVVM style):
<dropupload onMaxFileCountExceed="@command('maxFileCountExceed', filesCount=event.data)" />
@Command
public void maxFileCountExceed(@BindingParam("filesCount") Integer filesCount) {
Messagebox.show(filesCount + " files exceed the number of upload files limitation.");
}
Alternatively, developers can also design customized File Viewer by implementing a JavaScript class to handle the
display screen when uploading files. Below is an example of a customized file viewer where the progress bar is
shown at the bottom of the browser.
foo.MyFileViewer = zk.$extends(zk.Object, {
updated: null,
this._uplder = uplder;
var id = uplder.id,
uri = zk.ajaxURI('/web/zk/img/progress2.gif',
{au:true}),
jq(uplder.getWidget().getPage()).append(html);
Dropupload 325
jq('#' + id + '-cancel').click(function() {
uplder.cancel();
});
},
jq('#'+ this._uplder.id +
'-sent').html(Math.round(sent/1000) + msgzk.KBYTES);
if (!this.updated) {
this.updated = true;
jq('#'+ this._uplder.id +
'-total').html(Math.round(total/1024)+msgzk.KBYTES);
},
destroy: function () {
jq(this.viewer).remove();
});
In the code snippet above, you can see that there are three functions - $init, update, and destroy.
1. $init(uplder, file): When the user selects a file from the file chooser, this function will be invoked.
• uplder: An uploader object
• file: The file user uploads. It is a File [4] object.
2. update(send, total): After the uploading engine receives the size that has already been uploaded, this function
will be invoked.
• sent: An integer of the uploaded size.
• total: An integer of the total uploaded size.
3. destroy(): After the file has been uploaded or if the uploading has been canceled or if the uploading has caused
an error, this function will be invoked.
After customizing your JavaScript class which in this case is foo.MyFileViewer, assign it to Dropupload
using the viewerClass attribute as demonstrated below:
Uploader
Below is a summarised description table of the Uploader when passed a selected file from the user.
Dropupload 326
Method Usage
//before
$init: function (uplder, filenm) {
//routine
}
//after
$init: function (uplder, file) {
var filenm = file.name;
//routine
}
• The first parameter of update(), send would originally pass an integer value ranging from 0 to 100,
representing the percentage of the uploading process whereas now it will pass the value of the already uploaded
size of data in Bytes.
<zscript><![CDATA[
public void showFileName(org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.UploadEvent event){
org.zkoss.util.media.Media[] medias = event.getMedias();

sb.append(m.getName()+"\n");
}
Messagebox.show(sb.toString());
}
]]></zscript>
<dropupload detection="none" onUpload="showFileName(event)" />
Dropupload 327
Browser Support
As Dropupload leverages HTML5 technology, some browsers don't support it. Currently, it works normally on
Firefox (v.13), Chrome (v.19) and Safari (v.5.1.x), but doesn't function in IE 9, Opera v.11.x, and Microsoft Edge.
Moreover, the detection setting cannot be displayed on some older machines.

Filedownload
• Demonstration: File Downpload [1]
• Java API: Filedownload [2]
• JavaScript API: N/A
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
Filedownload [2] provides a set of utilities to prompt a user for downloading a file from the server to the client.
Notice that Filedownload [2] is not a component. Rather, it is a collection of utilities for file download.
Unlike the iframe component that displays the file in the browser window, a file download dialog is shown at the
browser if one of the save methods is called. Then, the user can specify the location in his local file system to save
the file.
<button label="Download">
<attribute name="onClick">{
java.io.InputStream is =
desktop.getWebApp().getResourceAsStream("/test/download.html");
if (is != null)
Filedownload.save(is, "text/html", "download.html");
else
alert("/test/download.html not found");
}
</attribute>
</button>
Filedownload 329
Limitation of IE 6/7/8
With this approach (Filedownload [2]), Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8[3] will show up an warning message on top of the
browser as snappshot below ("To help protect your security, Internet Explorer...").
If the user allows the download (right click and select Download File...), IE will eventually reload the page. It
means the whole content of the page is reloaded and the downloading does not take place. And, the user have to click
the download button or link again. It is a tedious user experience.
To work around it, we have to prepare another page for real download, and then use FORM submit, instead of
invoking Filedownload [2], to redirect to the page for real download. For example,
And, the page for real download could be implemented with, say, JSP or a servlet. ZK provides utilities to simplify
the task: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, org.zkoss.util.media.Media, boolean, boolean)
Https.write(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse,
org.zkoss.util.media.Media, boolean, boolean) [4] and AMedia [5]. For example,
<%-- real-download.jsp: the page really downloads the file to response --%>
application.getResourceAsStream("/test2/B1896797.pdf")),
true/*download*/, false);
%>
If the user could input more information to select the file to download, we could enhance download.zul in the
above example by adding more input components inside HTML FORM. For example,
Notice we have to specify the name property such that its value will be sent with the given name. For more
information of using HTML FORM, please refer to ZK Developer's Reference/Integration/Use ZK in
JSP#HTML_Form:ZK Developer's Reference: HTML Form.
Then, the URL generated by saveResumable can be copied to the download manager the user prefers.

Employment/Purpose
[2] [4]
There are two ways to use Fileupload as a component to upload files, or invoke Fileupload.get() to open a
dialog to upload files.
Use as a Component
Fileupload [2] itself is a component. You can use it directly as follows.
<fileupload label="Upload">
<attribute name="onUpload">
org.zkoss.util.media.Media media = event.getMedia();
//then, you can process media here
</attribute>
</fileupload>
Fileupload [2] is actually a button with upload=true. In other words, the above is equivalent to
<div onUpload="processMedia(event.getMedias());">
<zscript deferred="true"><![CDATA[
import org.zkoss.util.media.Media;
If you prefer the event being sent to the callback event listener, specify the event listener when invoke
Fileupload.get().
Note: the target of the upload event is always null.
For example:
<zk>
<vbox>
<button label="Upload">
<attribute name="onClick">
Fileupload.get(new EventListener(){
public void onEvent(UploadEvent event) {
org.zkoss.util.media.Media media =
event.getMedia();
if (media instanceof org.zkoss.image.Image) {
org.zkoss.image.Image img =
(org.zkoss.image.Image) media;
if (img.getWidth() > img.getHeight()){
if (img.getHeight() > 300) {
pics.setHeight("300px");
pics.setWidth(img.getWidth() * 300
/ img.getHeight() + "px");
}
}
if (img.getHeight() > img.getWidth()){
if (img.getWidth() > 400) {
pics.setWidth("400px");
pics.setHeight(img.getHeight() *
400 / img.getWidth() + "px");
}
}
image.setContent(img);
} else {
Messagebox.show("Not an image: "+media,
"Error", Messagebox.OK, Messagebox.ERROR);
}
}
})
</attribute>
</button>
<image id="image" />
</vbox>
</zk>
Fileupload 335
If you prefer the event being sent to a particular component, specify the component in the desktop's attribute called
org.zkoss.zul.Fileupload.target.
For example, we could have the button to receive the onUpload event as follows:
<zk>
<zscript deferred="true"><![CDATA[
import org.zkoss.util.media.Media;
Executions.getCurrent().getDesktop().setAttribute(
"org.zkoss.zul.Fileupload.target", uploadBtn);
<zk>
<button label="Upload">
<attribute name="onClick">{
org.zkoss.util.media.Media[] media = Fileupload.get(-1);
if (media != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < media.length; i++) {
if (media[i] instanceof org.zkoss.image.Image)
Fileupload 336
{
org.zkoss.zul.Image image = new
org.zkoss.zul.Image();
image.setContent(media[i]);
image.setParent(pics);
} else {
Messagebox.show("Not an image:
"+media[i], "Error", Messagebox.OK, Messagebox.ERROR);
break; //not to show too many errors
}
}
}
}</attribute>
</button>
<vbox id="pics" />
</zk>
As shown, Fileupload.get(int) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Fileupload.
html#get(int)) won't return until the end user uploads the files (and/or closes the dialog).

Employment/Purpose
The simplest way is to use an XUL component called html to embed whatever HTML tags you want to send
directly to the browser. To avoid ZK from interpreting the HTML tags, you usually enclose them with <![CDATA[
and ]]>. In other words, they are not the child component. Rather, they are stored in the content property.
Notice you can use EL expressions in it.
Example
where <h4>...</p> will become the content of the html element (see also the getContent method of the
org.zkoss.zul.Html class).
The html component generates the HTML SPAN tag to enclose the content. In other words, it generates the
following HTML tags when rendered to the browser.
<span id=”...”>
<h4>Hi, Html Demo</h4>
<p>It is the content of the html component.</p>
</span>
Html 344
Size issue
On Chrome, if <html>'s sibling use vflex to set hight flexibly, developer must override .z-html CSS like
this:
.z-html {
display:block;
}
or
.z-html {
display: inline-block;
}
Without this setting, offsetHeight of <html> will be zero, and sibling's height will be wrong.

Iframe
Iframe
• Demonstration: Iframe [1]
• Java API: Iframe [2]
• JavaScript API: Iframe [3]
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
The iframe component uses the HTML IFRAME tag to delegate a portion of the display to another URL. Though
the appearance looks similar to the include component. The concept and meaning of the iframe component is
different.
The content included by the include component is a fragment of the whole HTML page.
Because the content is part of the HTML page, the content is part of the desktop and you could access any
components, if any, inside of the include component. The inclusion is done at the server, and the browser knows
nothing about it. It means the URL specified by the src property could be any internal resource.
The content of the iframe component is loaded by the browser as a separate page. Because it is loaded as a
separate page, the format of the content could be different from HTML. For example, you could embed an PDF file.
The embedding is done by the browser, when it interprets the HTML page containing the IFRAME tag. It also
implies that the URL must be a resource that you can access from the browser.
Like the image and audio components, you could specify the dynamically generated content. A typical example
is you could use JasperReport to generate a PDF report in a binary array or stream, and then pass the report to an
iframe component by wrapping the result with the org.zkoss.util.media.AMedia class.
In the following example, we illustrate that you could embed any content by use of iframe, as long as the client
supports its format.
Iframe 346
Example
where uuid is the ID of the element that you can retrieve by document.getElementById, and url is the
new URL that the iframe is navigated to. Notice that url includes the context path, while URIEvent.getURI() [6]
does not.
If your application contains multiple desktops due to iframes in a portal layout it is now possible to communicate
between these instances without the need for server push or timer. It thus minimizes the network traffic.
Since ZK 5.0.4, the concept of group has been introduced to enable the use of a group-scope event queue which
facilitates easy communication between the instances. The code below demonstrates some examples:
que.subscribe(new EventListener() {
public void onEvent(Event evt) {
o.setValue(o.getValue() + evt.getData() + "\n");
}
});
void publish() {
String text = i.getValue();
if (text.length() > 0) {
i.setValue("");
que.publish(new Event("onGroupTest", null, text));
}
}
For more information please take a look at ZK Developer's Reference: Event Queues.
Iframe 348
onload
If you'd like to do something when iframe's content has been loaded, you could listen to the onload event.
However, unlike onChange and others, you could not listen the widget-level event ( Event (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/
javadoc/latest/jsdoc/zk/Event.html#) and listened by use of Client-side Event Listening), because the onload event
might be fired before the widget has been bound to DOM.
Rather, you shall use the client-attribute namespace to register a DOM-level listener as follows.
Notice that the registration of onload with the client-attribute namespace is DOM-level, so the this variable
references to the DOM element (rather than the widget).
Supported Events
Name Event Type
onURIChange Event: URIEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ event/ URIEvent. html#)

Include 349
Include
Include
• Demonstration: Include [1]
• Java API: Include [8]
• JavaScript API: Include [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
The include component is used to include the output generated by another servlet. The servlet could be anything
including JSF, JSP and even another ZUML page.
Like all other properties, you could dynamically change the src attribute to include the output from a different
servlet at run time.
If the included output is from another ZUML, this allows developers to access components in the included page as if
they are part of the containing page.
If the include component is used to include a ZUML page, the included page will become part of the desktop.
However, the included page is not visible until the request is processed completely. In other words, it is visible only
in the following events, triggered by user or timer.
The reason is that the include component includes a page as late as the Rendering phase. On the other hand, zscript
takes place at the Component Creation phase, and onCreate takes place at the Event Processing Phase. They both
execute before the inclusion.
Example
<window title="include demo" border="normal" width="300px">
Hello, World!
<include src="/userguide/misc/includedHello.zul" />
<include src="/html/frag.html?some=any" />
<include src="mypage" argument="${anyValue}" other="${anotherValue}" />
</window>
Include 350
Modes
There are two ways to include another ZUML document: instant and defer. It is controlled by the property
called mode (Include.setMode(java.lang.String) [3]). By default, it is auto, i.e., the real mode is decided
automatically as described below. Notice that the included file should not contain <html> tag.
Auto
The auto mode (default) decides the mode based the page to include. If the page (Include.setSrc(java.lang.String)
[4]
) is ended with the extension named .zul, .zhtml, .html, or .xhtml, the instant mode is assumed.
Otherwise, the defer mode is assumed. If it is not the case (such as your ZUML page's extension is not any of
them), you could specify the mode explicitly.
Notice that if a query string is specified, the defer mode is assumed, too, since the instant mode does not
support the query string (#1).
That means , the following sample is using defer mode so the ${param.test} in header.zul is working .
<include src="header.zul?test=5" /> <!-- default mode is auto -->
but the following sample is using instant mode , so the ${param.test} in the header.zul is not working.
<include mode="instant" src="header.zul?test=5" /> <!-- set the instant mode explicitly -->
If you have no any query string in src and it's ended with ".zul" , the include will be instant mode by
default.
<include src="header.zul" /> <!-- default mode is auto -->
Instant
In the instant mode, the include component loads the page by the use of org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component,
java.util.Map) Execution.createComponents(java.lang.String, org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, java.util.Map) [5]. It
means that the components defined in the included page are instantiated instantly and added as children of the
include component.
Unlike the defer mode, no additional Page [6] instance is created.
The code below demonstrates how to use the instant mode:
Notice the include component itself is a ID space owner, so there is no issue of ID conflicts. But, it also means
you have to use Path [7] or other techniques to retrieve the child components.
Include 351
Then, you could retrieve the values by use the arg object as described in the Load ZUML in Java section.
In the defer mode, the values have to be retrieved by the requestScope object.
Unfortunately there is a bug [9] in 5.0.5, so it won't work unless you use 5.0.6 or later.
Defer
In the defer mode, the include component includes the page by going through the Servlet container(the
include method of javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher). Thus, it is OK to include any kind of pages, not limited to
ZUML documents.
Then, in the included page, you can access them with Execution.getParameter(java.lang.String) [10] or the
javax.servlet.ServletRequest interface. In EL expressions (of the included page), you can use the
param object or the paramValues object to access them.
${param.some}
Notice that you can only pass String-typed values with the query string. Alternatively, we can pass any kind of
values with the so-called dynamic properties by use of java.lang.Object)
[8]
Include.setDynamicProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) or, in ZUL, a dynamic property as follows:
Include 352
With the dynamic properties, you can pass non-String-typed values. In the included page, you can access them with
Execution.getAttribute(java.lang.String) [11] or the javax.servlet.ServletRequest interface. In EL
expressions (of the included page), you can use the requestScope object to access them.
${requestScope.some}
<include src="/mypage.zul"/>
<include src="/mypage.zul"/>
However, if you are using the defer mode and want to access the component inside of them, you have to assign a
unique identifier of the page being included. Here is what you can do.
In additions, in the page being include, i.e., mypage.zul in this example, you have to write
<?page id="${param.pageId}"?>
Then, you could access their component by the use of Path [7] as follows.
Path.getComponent('//first/textbox/');
Path.getComponent('//second/textbox/');
Notice that, in the defer mode, components are created as late as rendering the include component, so you
could access them only in the event listener serving AU requests (aka., Ajax).
Then, jq("$main") will resolve nothing (an empty array) because its content is evaluated first.
There are two solutions to make it evaluate later:
1. Use int) zk.afterMount(_global_.Function, int) [12] in the included page
2. Or, specify this custom attribute to defer the rendering in the includer.
Include 353
[since 5.0.7]
Backward Compatibility
For versions prior to 5.0, the defer mode is the default. If you prefer to keep using the defer mode, you could
specify a library property called org.zkoss.zul.include.mode as follows.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.include.mode</name>
<value>defer</value>
</library-property>
If you want to reload the same page (and not to change to another page), you have to set the src property to null
first; then set it back to what it was. Because ZK optimizes operations, setting the same value to the same property
would be deemed to do nothing.
For example, the following code would refresh the hello.zul page when an end user press the Reload button.
Include 354
Another way to reload is to invalidate the "include" component by use of Component.invalidate() [13] as follows.
ZK Client Engine will show a busy message to indicate that the page is not ready yet, and this prevents users from
accessing it. Then, the real loading of the included page will then take place later. Though the end user still cannot
access the page, the feed back is much better (with a semi-ready page than totally blank).
This feature is actually done by the use of the so-called echo event. For more information, please refer to the Long
Operations: Use Echo Events section.
This feature cannot be used with the instant mode. If the auto mode is used (default), it switches to the defer
mode automatically.
Custom Attributes
org.zkoss.zul.include.html.defer
[default: false]
[inherit: true][15]
[since 5.0.7]
It specifies whether to defer the rendering of the included non-ZUML page, until all widgets are instantiated and
rendered at the client. By default, if the included page is not ZUML (i.e., HTML fragment), the content is generated
directly, and they might be evaluated before widgets are rendered (depending on the browser and the complexity of a
page).
For more information, please refer to the #Include Non-ZUML Pages section.

5.0.0 January The mode is default to auto (rather than defer). You could configure the default mode to defer by specifying a library
2010 property called org.zkoss.zul.include.mode in WEB-INF/zk.xml.
5.0.7 April The custom attribute called org.zkoss.zul.include.html.defer was introduced to defer the rendering of a

• Demonstration: Image [1]
• Java API: Image [2]
• JavaScript API: Image [3]
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
An image component is used to display an image at the browser. There are two ways to assign an image to an
image component. First, you could use the src property to specify a URI where the image is located. This
approach is similar to what HTML supports. It is useful
if you want to display a static image, or any image that can be identified by URL.
<image src="/my.png">
<image src="/my*.png"/>
Assuming one of your users is visiting your page with de_DE as the preferred Locale. Zk will try to locate the image
file called /my_de_DE.png. If it is not found, it will try /my_de.png and finally /my.png.
Please refer to the Browser and Locale Dependent URI section of the Internationalization chapter for more
details.
Secondly, you could use the setContent method to set the content of an image to an image component
directly. Once assigned, the image displayed at the browser will be updated automatically. This approach is useful if
an image is generated dynamically.
For example, you can generate a map for the location specified by a user as demonstrated below.
<zk>
Location: <textbox onChange="updateMap(self.value)"/>
Map: <image id="image"/>
<zscript><![CDATA[
void updateMap(String location) {
if (location.length() > 0) {
org.zkoss.image.AImage img = new
org.zkoss.image.AImage(location);
image.setContent(img);
}
}
]]>
</zscript>
</zk>
Image 357
In the above example, we assume that you have a class named MapImage for generating a map of the specified
location.
Notice that the image component accepts the content encapsulated by the org.zkoss.image.Image format. If
the image generated by your tool is not in this format, you can use the org.zkoss.image.AImage class to
wrap a binary array of data, a file or an input stream into the Image interface.
In traditional Web applications, caching a dynamically generated image is complicated, however with the image
component, you don't need to worry about it. Once the content of an image is assigned, it belongs to the image
component, and the memory it occupies will be released automatically when the image component is no longer
used.
Tip: If you want to display the content other than an image, say a PDF, you can use the iframe component. Please
refer to the relevant section for details.

Imagemap
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Imagemap [1]
• JavaScript API: Imagemap [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
A imagemap component is a special image. It accepts whatever properties an image component accepts.
However, unlike image, if a user clicks on the image, an onClick event is sent back to the server with the
coordinates of the mouse position. In contrast, the onClick event sent by image doesn't contain the coordinates.
The coordinates of the mouse position are screen pixels counted from the upper-left corner of the image beginning
with (0, 0). It is stored as instance of org.zkoss.zk.ui.event .MouseEvent. Once the application receives
the onClick event, it could examine the coordinates of the mouse position from the getX and getY methods.
Note: Don't try to use css background as your image , the image map need a real image or it wont work.
Imagemap 360
Example
<imagemap src="/img/sun.jpg" onClick="alert(event.x + ", " +event.y)"/>
For example, if a user clicks 208 pixels over and 205 pixels down from the upper-left corner of the image displayed
from the following statement, then the user gets the result as depicted below.

• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
An area of a image map. Instead of the application processing the coordinates, developers can add the area
components as children of a imagemap component thus defining a target. The imagemap component will translate
the mouse pointer coordinates into a logical name ie. The id of the area the user clicked.
Example
<imagemap src="/img/sun.jpg" onClick="alert(event.area)">
<area id="First" coords="0, 0, 100, 100"/>
<area id="Second" shape="circle" coords="200, 200, 100"/>
</imagemap>
If the coordinates in one area component overlap with another, the first one takes precedence.

Menuitem
Menuitem
• Demonstration: Menu [1] and Fileupload
• Java API: Menuitem [1]
• JavaScript API: Menuitem [2]
• Style Guide: Menuitem in Menubar, Menuitem in Menupopup
Employment/Purpose
A single choice in a Menupopup element. It acts much like a button but it is rendered on a menu. Default
getZclass(): z-menu-item .
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.
Example
<menubar>
<menu label="File">
<menupopup>
<menuitem label="New" onClick="alert(self.label)"/>
<menuitem label="Open" onClick="alert(self.label)"/>
<menuitem label="Save" onClick="alert(self.label)"/>
Menuitem 373
<menuseparator/>
<menuitem label="Exit" onClick="alert(self.label)"/>
</menupopup>
</menu>
<menuitem label="Home"/>
</menubar>
Fileupload Example
<menuitem upload="true" label="Customized Attach" onUpload='alert("File is uploaded!")'/>
Properties
Autodisable
[Since 5.0.7]
If you'd like to disable several menuitems, you could specify all of them in this property by separating with a
comma. For example, the following disables both menuitems, when one of them is clicked.
The menuitem will be enabled automatically, after the request has been served (i.e., the response has been sent back
to the client). If you prefer to enable them manually (i.e., by calling Menuitem.setDisabled(boolean) [4] explicitly),
you could prefix the ID with a plus (+). For example,
Then, you could enable them manually under the situation depending on your application's requirement, such as
if (something_happens) {
ok.setDisabled(false);
cancel.setDisabled(false);
}
<language-addon>
<component>
<component-name>menuitem</component-name>
<extends>menuitem</extends>
Menuitem 374
<property>
<property-name>autodisable</property-name>
<property-value>self</property-value>
</property>
</component>
</language-addon>
Href
In addition to handling the onClick event, you could specify the URL in the href property
(Menuitem.setHref(java.lang.String) [5]), such that the browser will navigate to the URL you specified directly
(without sending back any request to the server). If you prefer to visit the URL in another browser window, you
could specify the name in Menuitem.setTarget(java.lang.String) [6] (just like using a HTML A tag).
Notice that the end user could hold the Control key and click on the menuitem to visit the link in a new browser
window (like a HTML A tag does).
<zk>
<menubar>
<menuitem label="click me" onClick="do_something_in_Java()"/>
<menuitem label="don't click that one, click me" href="/another_page.zul"/>
</menubar>
</zk>
Since the onClick event is sent to the server for processing, you are able to perform additional tasks before invoking
Executions.sendRedirect(java.lang.String) [7], such as redirecting to another page only if certain conditions are
satisfied.
Menuitem 375
On the other hand, the href property is processed at the client side. Your application won't be notified when users
click the menuitem.
Upload
By specifying the upload property (Menuitem.setUpload(java.lang.String) [8]), you could make a menuitem used for
uploading files. For example,
where
• maxsize: the maximal allowed upload size of the component, in kilobytes, or a negative value if no limit.
• native: treating the uploaded file(s) as binary, i.e., not to convert it to image, audio or text files.
Supported Events
Name Event Type
onCheck [5]

Note: to have better performance, onOpen is sent only if non-deferrable event listener is registered (see Deferrable).
To load the content dynamically, you can listen to the onOpen event, and then create menuitem when
OpenEvent.isOpen() is true.
Default HtmlBasedComponent.getSclass(): menupopup.
Example
<menubar id="menubar">

Menupopup 377
Toggle Menupopup
Since 7.0.1
If you assign a menupopup to a target component and add type=toggle to its popup or context attribute, it will
toggle the visibility of menupopup by click. That means if you click the target component, it will cause the
menupopup to show up, click on the target component again will hide the menupopup.
Highlight position
Since 8.6.0
We can highlight position in a menupopup by using setActive(int) method. Notice that we can only
highlight menuitem or menu that is neither disabled nor invisible.
The setActive will not cause a menupopup to be opened. An explicit open is needed if the menupopup is
not showed.
<button label="Highlight Index" onClick="mnuHelp.open(); mnuHelp.getMenupopup().setActive(0);" />

(without sending back any request to the server). If you prefer to visit the URL in another browser window, you
could specify the name in Navitem.setTarget(java.lang.String) [4] (just like using a HTML A tag).
Notice that the end user could hold the Control key and click on the navitem to visit the link in a new browser
window (like a HTML A tag does).
<navbar>
<navitem label="click me" onClick="do_something_in_Java()"/>
<navitem label="don't click that one, click me" href="/another_page.zul"/>
</navbar>
Since the onClick event is sent to the server for processing, you are able to perform additional tasks before invoking
Executions.sendRedirect(java.lang.String) [7], such as redirecting to another page only if certain conditions are
Navitem 388
satisfied.
On the other hand, the href property is processed at the client side. Your application won't be notified when users
click the navitem.

Popup
Popup
• Demonstration: Tooltips and Popup [1]
• Java API: Popup [2]
• JavaScript API: Popup [3]
• Style Guide: Popup
Employment/Purpose
A container can be displayed as a popup. The popup window does not have any special frame. Popups can be
displayed when an element is clicked by assigning the id of the popup to either the
XulElement.setPopup(java.lang.String), XulElement.setContext(java.lang.String) or
XulElement.setTooltip(java.lang.String) attribute of the element.
Popup 391
Example
since 6.0.1
overlap, overlap_end, overlap_before, overlap_after are kept (still available) for backward compatibility. They are
identical with top_left, top_right, bottom_left and bottom_right, respectively.
Popup 393
<popup id="pp">
Here is popup
</popup>
<button label="before_start" onClick='pp.open(self, "before_start");' />
Upon clicking the button the popup component will appear in the relative position specified. In this case the position
is just above the button.
In addition to this more options are available such as positioning by x and y co-ordinates as demonstrated below.
<button id="btn" label="overlap" width="300px" height="300px" popup="component_id, x=50,y=50"/>
Toggle Popup
Since 7.0.0
If a popup/context menu is assigned to a target component via the popup/context attribute, the popup up will show
up when the user clicks on the target component. Click the target component again, the popup will still show up by
default. As of 7.0.0, The popup/context attribute supports additional toggle type, which could make target
component act as a toggle switcher. If the popup has not shown up yet, click the target component will cause the
popup to show up. If the popup is showing up, click on the target component again will toggle the popup to hide. The
usage is in below code.
Tooltip Delay
The tooltip attribute can also support a delay, the following code outlines how to accomplish this.

Selectbox
Selectbox
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Selectbox [1]
• JavaScript API: Selectbox [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
Selectbox is a lightweight dropdown list and it can support ListModel, Renderer, and Databinding as well. The
benefit of it is not to create child widgets for each data, so the memory usage is much lower at the server.
Example
<zk>
<zscript>
<![CDATA[
String[] userName = { "Tony", "Ryan", "Jumper", "Wing",
"Sam" };
ListModelList model = new ListModelList(userName);
]]></zscript>
<selectbox model="${model}" onSelect='alert(model.get(event.getData()));'>
<template name="model">
Name is ${each}
</template>
</selectbox>
Selectbox 399
</zk>
To give the selectbox an initial value, for example, Tony, add the following code after the model is created:
model.addToSelection ("Tony");
Databinding
Here is the example for Databinding.
<?init class="org.zkoss.zkplus.databind.AnnotateDataBinderInit"?>
<zk>
<zscript><![CDATA[
public class MyUserBean {
private String[] userList = { "Tony", "Ryan", "Jumper",
"Wing", "Sam" };
private int index = 0;
<div>
Select User:
<selectbox id="box" model="@{mybean.userList}"
selectedIndex="@{mybean.index}">
<template name="model">${each}</template>

• Java API: Separator [1]
• JavaScript API: Separator [2]
• Style Guide: Separator
Employment/Purpose
A separator is used to insert a space between two components. There are several ways to customize the separator.
• By use of the orient attribute, you are able to specify whether the separator is vertical or horizontal. By default it
is a horizontal separator, which inserts a line break. On the other hand, a vertical separator inserts white space.
• By use of the bar attribute, you can control whether to show a horizontal or vertical line between components.
• By use of the spacing attribute, you can control the size of spacing.
Example
line 1 by separator
<separator />
line 2 by separator

Script
Script
• Demonstration: Script [1]
• Java API: Script [1]
• JavaScript API: Script [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
The script component is used to specify the script codes running at the browser. Notice that, unlike zscript, the script
codes are running at the browser. They are usually written in JavaScript which is supported by the most of browsers.
The simplest format is as follows.
Example
<zk>
<window id="win">
<button label="change color" onClick='Clients.evalJavaScript("myfunc()")' />
</window>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myfunc() {
jq("$win").css("backgroundColor", "blue");
}
</script>
</zk>
Script 405
Alternatives
Instead of using the script component, you could use the script directive instead. It does not support defer, but it is
more efficient since no component is created.
<?script src="~./js/zk.debug.wpd"?>
<?script content="jq.IE6_ALPHAFIX='.png';"?>
where the first statement loads the debug utility and the second generates JavaScript code snippet directly.
Another alternative is HTML SCRIPT. For example, we could define global variables and functions as follows
<textbox id="inp"/>
<script defer="true">
this.$f("inp").setValue("initialized");
</script>
The defer attribute can be used with a JavaScript file as shown below. Then, the JavaScript file will be loaded after
all widgets are created and bound to the DOM tree.

Toolbarbutton
• Demonstration: Toolbar [1] and Fileupload
• Java API: Toolbarbutton [1]
• JavaScript API: Toolbarbutton [2]
• Style Guide: Toolbarbutton
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.

Example
orient="vertical" />
<space />
<toolbarbutton label="button6" image="/img/network.gif"

Toggle Mode
Toolbarbutton support toggle mode since ZK 6.0.0 . (mode="toggle" )
In the toggle mode , the toolbarbutton will be persistent checked after user clicked it, and will be released after next
click. It will fire CheckEvent [5] when state changed.

}else{
result.setValue("Deactivated:"+event.getTarget().getLabel());

File Upload
Any toolbarbutton[3] 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 [5] is sent to the button. Then, the event listener can retrieve
the uploaded content by examining the return value of UploadEvent.getMedia() [6].

Input
This section outlines components which are used to input application data.
Bandbox
Bandbox
• Demonstration: Bandbox [1]
• Java API: Bandbox [2]
• JavaScript API: Bandbox [3]
• Style Guide: Bandbox
Employment/Purpose
A bandbox is a special text box that embeds a customizable popup window (aka., a dropdown window). Like
comboboxes, a bandbox consists of an input box and a popup window. The popup window is opened automatically,
when users presses Alt+DOWN or clicks the magnifier button.
Unlike comboboxes, the popup window of a bandbox could be anything. It is designed to give developers the
maximal flexibility. A typical use is to represent the popup window as a search dialog.
Example
<bandbox id="bd">
<bandpopup>
<vbox>
<hbox>
Search
<textbox />
</hbox>
<listbox width="200px"
onSelect="bd.value=self.selectedItem.label;bd.close();">
<listhead>
<listheader label="Name" />
<listheader label="Description" />
</listhead>
<listitem>
Bandbox 416
Properties
<listbox width="200px"
onSelect="bd.value=self.selectedItem.label; bd.close();">
In the above example, we copy the selected item's label to the bandbox, and then close the popup.
Autodrop
By default, the popup window won't be opened until user clicks the button, or presses Alt+DOWN on the keyboard.
However, you can set the autodrop property to true and as soon as the user types a character the popup will be
opened. This is helpful for novice users, but it might be annoying for experienced users.
<zk>
<bandbox id="bd" autodrop="true">
<bandpopup>
...
</bandpopup>
</bandbox>
</zk>
Bandbox 417
<bandbox id="test">
<bandpopup fulfill="test.onOpen">
...
</bandpopup>
</bandbox>
Alternatively, you can prepare the popup window in Java by listening to the onOpen event, as depicted below.
<zk>
<bandbox id="band" onOpen="prepare()"/>
<zscript>
void prepare()
{
if (band.getPopup() == null) {
//create child elements
}
}
</zscript>
</zk>
<zk>
<bandbox id="band" autodrop="true" onChanging="suggest()"/>
<zscript>
void suggest()
{
if (event.value.startsWith("A")) {
//do something
} else if (event.value.startsWith("B")) {
//do another
}
}
</zscript>
</zk>
Notice that, when the onChanging event is received, the content of the bandbox has not changed. Therefore, you
cannot use the value property of the bandbox. Instead, you should use the value property of the event
(org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.InputEvent).
Bandbox 418
Constraint
You could specify what value to accept for input controls by the use of the constraint property. It could be a
combination of no empty, and/or a regular expression.
To specify two or more constraints, use comma to separate them as follows.
To specify a regular expression, you may have to use the character / to enclose the regular expression as follows.
<bandbox constraint="/^A/"/>
Notes:
• The above statement is XML, so do not use \\ to specify a backslash. However typing \\ is necessary, if
writing in Java.
new Bandbox().setConstraint("/.+@.+\\.[a-z]+/");
• You are allowed to mix regular expressions with other constraints by separating them with a comma.
If you prefer to display different message to the default one, you can append the error message to the constraint with
a colon.
Notes:
• The error message, if specified, must be the last element and start with colon.
• To support multiple languages, you could use the 「l」 function as depicted in the Internationalization chapter.

Employment/Purpose
A component similar to Combobox but handles the multi-selection and the select order.
Example
Normal ListModel
Here, all the content will be sent to and processed at the client side. The rendering process is pretty fast with a few
items but may cause performance issue when the model exceeds 40,000 items and rendering them all at once.
<zk>
<zscript>
import org.zkoss.zktest.test2.select.models.*;
SubListModel
In this example, the content of the drop-down list will not be rendered to the client side and will remain blank until
user enters an input. The server will then provide a 'matched' content for the input. This will cause some delay at the
client side because of server processing time and network transfer time.

<zscript>
import org.zkoss.zktest.test2.select.models.*;
When there is no data to be shown in the model and data 0 already selected, noResultText appears.

model exceeds 40,000 items and rendering them all at once
• If you set ListSubModel to the chosenbox model, the content of the drop-down list will not be rendered to the
client-side,and will remain blank until user enters an input. The server will then provide a 'matched' content for
the input. This will cause some delay at the client side because of server processing time and network transfer
time
• name: specify the name of the input element of this component
• noResultsText: displayed in popup window if nothing matches the input value and creatable is false; syntax
"{0}" will be replaced with the input value at client-side

Employment/Purpose
The component used to represent CKEditor [5]
CKEditor is a popular HTML on-line text editor developed by Frederico Caldeira Knabben.
CKEditor is a text editor to be used inside web pages. It's a WYSIWYG editor, which means that the text being
edited on it looks as similar as possible to the results users have when publishing it.
It brings to the web common editing features found on desktop editing applications like Microsoft Word and
OpenOffice.
Example
<ckeditor width="850px">
<attribute name="value"><![CDATA[
<table width="200" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1">

File browser
ZK CKEditor provides a default file browser for browsing the files in a folder that you specify. You can define a
target folder in index.zul and when you open the add image/flash dialog and click "Browse Server", CKEditor will
open a new window, and list all the files in the file browser.
<zk>

</zk>
CKEditor 437
If you wish to customize your own file browser, you can change the location by calling
CKeditor.setFilebrowserImageUploadUrl(page_url), and refer to CKEditor Developers Guide [6] to create your
custom file browser.
File upload
since 3.6.0.2
ZK CKEditor provides a default file upload handler for uploading the files to the folder you specify. You can define
a target folder in index.zul and when user uploads a file, it will save the file in the folder that you have specified.
<font size="8.37">
<zk>
<ckeditor filebrowserImageBrowseUrl="img" filebrowserImageUploadUrl="img"/>

Combobox
Combobox
• Demonstration: Combobox [1]
• Java API: Combobox [2]
• JavaScript API: Combobox [3]
• Style Guide: Combobox
Employment/Purpose
Components: combobox and comboitem.
A combobox is a special text box that embeds a drop-down list. With comboboxes, users are allowed to select
from a drop-down list, in addition to entering the text manually.
Example
<combobox>
<comboitem label="Simple and Rich"/>
<comboitem label="Cool!"/>
<comboitem label="Ajax and RIA"/>
</combobox>
Combobox 443
Default Selection
<zk>
<zscript><![CDATA[
ListModelList model = new ListModelList(Arrays.asList(new
String[] { "David",
"Thomas", "Steven" }));
]]></zscript>
Live Data
Selectable
By specifying the selection, you can invoke the addSelection() to select a default value, For example,
[Since 5.0.4]
Combobox 444
Properties
Autocomplete
By default, it will autocomplete your input with the first item in the list that has the same starting string in a
case-insensitive way.
<combobox>
<attribute name="onChanging"><![CDATA[
self.getChildren().clear(); //remove all children
for (String value: getMatched(event.getValue())
self.appendChild(new Comboitem(value));
]]></attribute>
</combobox>
Line 4: We assume getMatched() is an application-specific method that returns a collection of matched values.
Autocomplete by ListSubModel
To separate the data from the view (Combobox) better, we can implement ListSubModel [4] and set it to Combobox.
There are 2 ways:
• Use SimpleListModel [8].
Unlike ListModelList [5] and others, SimpleListModel [8] implements ListSubModel [4]
by default. You can use
SimpleListModel [8] directly but it handles only an array of data.
• Convert ListModel [7] object with ListModels.toListSubModel(org.zkoss.zul.ListModel) [6]
The methods convert ListModel to ListSubModel that proxies the original ListModel.
For example,
<combobox apply="org.zkoss.reference.component.input.MyAutoCompleteComposer"/>
@Override
public void doAfterCompose(Component comp) throws Exception {
super.doAfterCompose(comp);
combobox.setModel(ListModels.toListSubModel(new
ListModelList(getAllItems())));
}
List getAllItems() {
return items;
}
Combobox 445
By default, it shows the first 15 items that matches the value entered by the user. If you want to have a different
value or a different comparator to find out matched items, you could invoke java.util.Comparator, int)
ListModels.toListSubModel(org.zkoss.zul.ListModel, java.util.Comparator, int) [7] instead.
Note: Passing an instance of ListModelList [5] directly to a combobox will show up all items in the list
model, since it doesn't implement ListSubModel [4].
Readonly
Once set, the user is not allowed to type characters, but he still can select the items in the Combobox. (Default:false )
<combobox readonly="true"/>
Autodrop
By default, the drop-down list won't be opened until the user clicks the button, or presses Alt+DOWN. However, you
could set the autodrop property to true, meaning as soon as the user types a character the drop-down list will be
opened. This is helpful for novice users, but it might be annoying for experienced users.
If you prefer the combobox to drop down the list when the user types a character, you could specify the autodrop
attribute as follows.
<combobox autodrop="true"/>
If you prefer to drop down the list when gaining the focus, you could provide a client-side listener as follows.
Description
You are able to add a description to each combo item to make it more descriptive or assign an image to every item.
<zk>
<combobox>
<comboitem label="Simple and Rich"
image="/img/Centigrade-Widget-Icons/GoldBar-32x32.gif"
description="The simplest way to make Web
applications rich" />
<comboitem label="Cool!"
image="/img/Centigrade-Widget-Icons/CogwheelEye-32x32.gif"
description="The coolest technology" />
<comboitem label="Ajax and RIA"
image="/img/Centigrade-Widget-Icons/WindowGlobe-32x32.gif"
description="Rich Internet Application by Ajax" />
</combobox>
</zk>
Combobox 446
Akin to other components that support images, you are able to use the setImageContent method to assign a
dynamically generated image to the comboitem component. Please refer to the Image section for details.
<zk>
<combobox fulfill="onOpen">
<comboitem label="Simple and Rich"/>
<comboitem label="Cool!"/>
<comboitem label="Ajax and RIA"/>
</combobox>
</zk>
Alternatively, you can listen to the onOpen event and prepare the drop-down list or change it dynamically as
demonstrated below.
<zk>
<zscript>
void prepare()
{
if (combo.getItemCount() == 0)
{
combo.appendItem("Simple and Rich");
combo.appendItem("Cool!");
combo.appendItem("Ajax and RIA");
}
}
</zscript>
<combobox id="combo" onOpen="prepare()" />
</zk>
The appendItem method is equivalent to creating a combo item and then setting the combobox as its parent.
Combobox 447
<zk>
<zscript>
void suggest()
{
combo.getItems().clear();
if (event.value.startsWith("A")) {
combo.appendItem("Ace");
combo.appendItem("Ajax");
combo.appendItem("Apple");
} else if (event.value.startsWith("B")) {
combo.appendItem("Best");
combo.appendItem("Blog");
}
}
</zscript>
Notice that, when the onChanging event is received, the content of the combobox has not changed. Therefore,
you cannot use the value property of the combobox. Instead, you should use the value property of the
InputEvent [4].
Constraint
You could specify what value to accept for input controls by use of the constraint property. It could be a
combination of no empty, and/or a regular expression.
To specify two or more constraints, use comma to separate them as follows.
To specify a regular expression, you may have to use the character / to enclose the regular expression as follows.
<combobox constraint="/^A/"/>
Notes:
• The above statement is XML, so do not use \\ to specify a backslash. However typing \\ is necessary, if
writing in Java.
new Combobox().setConstraint("/.+@.+\\.[a-z]+/");
Combobox 448
• You are allowed to mix regular expressions with other constraints by separating them with a comma.
If you prefer to display different message to the default one, you can append the error message to the constraint with
a colon.
Notes:
• The error message, if specified, must be the last element and start with colon.
• To support multiple languages, you could use the 「l」 function as depicted in the Internationalization chapter.
PopupWidth
[Since 8.0.3]
By specifying this property, the width of the popup will be set and ignore the default behavior.
If percentage is specified to this property, the width of the popup will be calculated with the width of the bandbox.
For example, if it's set to 130%, and the width of the bandbox is 300px, the popup of the bandbox will be 300px *
130% = 390px
If others is specified, it will be set to the width of the popup directly.
InstantSelect
[Since 8.6.1]
By default, any change of selection using the keyboard will trigger onSelect and onChange events instantly.
Once set this property false, users need to confirm the change by pressing Enter key or make combobox lose its
focus so onSelect and onChange events will be triggered. And pressing Esc key can abort the change and
revert to previous selection.
IconSclass
[Since 8.6.2]
Inherited Functions

Event: SelectEvent
Represents an event caused by user's the list selection is changed at the client.
onOpen [3]
Event: OpenEvent
Denotes that the user has opened or closed a component. Note: unlike onClose, this event is only a notification. The client
sends this event after opening or closing the 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.

Datebox 452
Datebox
Datebox
• Demonstration: Date and Time [1]
• Java API: Datebox [2]
• JavaScript API: Datebox [3]
• Style Guide: Datebox
Employment/Purpose
An edit box for holding a date. After click on the calender, a calender will pop-up for inputting date.
Customization
Since 5.0.3, the rendering of the calendar can be customized at the client by providing JavaScript code that overrides
Renderer [4].
Example
Constraint
You can specify what date to accept by the constraint property with one or multiple following values:
• no empty
• no future
• no past
• no today.
To specify two or more constraints, use comma to separate them as follows.
If you prefer to display different message to the default one, you can append the error message to the constraint with
a colon.
Notes:
• The error message, if specified, must be the last element and start with colon.
• To support multiple languages, you could use the 「l」 function as depicted in the Internationalization chapter.
In addition to the constraints described in the above section (such as no future and regular expressions), the
datebox supports a wide range of dates. For example,
Notices
1. The format of the date in the constraint is yyyMMdd. It is independent of the locale.
2. The date specified in the above constraints (before/after/between) is included. For example, "before
20071225" includes December 25, 2007 and any day before it, and "after 20110305" includes March 5,
2011 and any day after it.
3. The constraint is actually represented with an instance of the org.zkoss.zul.SimpleDateConstraint
class. You can retrieve the parsed beginning and ending date with the getBeginDate and getEndDate
methods.
((SimpleDateConstraint)datebox.getConstraint()).getBeginDate();
Datebox 454
Format
You are able to format the field by providing specifying the attribute with a formatting string. The default value is
null. When the formatting of the datebox is null, it means the date will be outputted using the format
yyyy/MM/dd.
<datebox format="MM/dd/yyyy"/>
Like any other properties, you are able to change the format dynamically, as depicted below.
<datebox id="db"/>
<button label="set MM-dd-yyyy" onClick='db.setFormat("MM-dd-yyyy")'/>
Length Option
In addition to specifying the format explicitly, you could specify the length option[4]. It supports four different length
options mentioned at java.text.DateFormat [5]:
• short
• medium
• long
• full
For example, you could specify the styling rather than the real format as follows.
<datebox format="short"/>
<datebox format="long"/>
Then the real format of the datebox will be decided at run time depending on the configuration. For more
information, please refer to ZK Developer's Reference: Date and Time Formatting.
In addition, you could specify the format with both date and time by using the syntax:
option_for_date+option_for_time. For example,
<datebox format="medium+full"/>
Datebox 455
Validation
If a user's input doesn't match the specified format, a Datebox will show an error message. It's a client-side
validation.
Locale
By default, the real format depends on the current locale (i.e., Locales.getCurrent() (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/
javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ util/ Locales. html#getCurrent())). However, you could specify the locale for an
individual instance such as:
Position
[Since 8.0.3]
By default, the popup position is set to after_start, for other possible popup positions please refer to [ (https:/ /
www.zkoss.org/wiki/ZK_Component_Reference/Essential_Components/Popup|Popup)].
2DigitYearStart
Since 8.6.2, you can control the 2DigitYearStart by the use of the library property. Please refer to [ (https:/ / www.

• Style Guide: N/A
Employment/Purpose
Used to group multiple radio buttons. In one radiogroup. Only one radio button may be selected at a time.
Example
Note: To support the versatile layout, a radio group accepts any kind of children , including Radio. On the other
hand, the parent of a radio, if any, must be a radio group.
<radiogroup>
<vlayout>
<hlayout>
<radio label="radio 1"/>
<radio label="radio 2"/>
<radio label="radio 3"/>
</hlayout>
<hlayout>
Radiogroup 472
Sometimes it is not possible to make the radiogroup component as an ancestor of all radio components. For example,
each row of a grid might be an independent group. To solve this, you have to assign the radiogroup component to the
[3]
radio component explicitly by the use of Radio.setRadiogroup(java.lang.String) or
Radio.setRadiogroup(org.zkoss.zul.Radiogroup) [4].

Live Data
Like listboxes, radiogroups support live data' since ZK 6.0.0'. With live data, developers are able to separate the
data from the view. In other words, developers only need to provide the data by implementing the ListModel [7]
interface, rather than manipulating the radiogroup directly. The benefits are twofold.
• It is easier to use different views to show the same set of data.
• The grid sends the data to the client only if it is visible. It saves a lot of network traffic if the amount of data is
large.
There are three steps to make use of live data.
1 Prepare the data in the form of a ListModel. ZK has a concrete implementation called SimpleListModel [8] for
representing an array of objects. 2 Implement the <T>.html# RadioRenderer<T> [5] interface for rendering a row of
data into the grid.
• This is optional. If it is not specified the default renderer is used to render the data into the first column.
• You can implement different renderers for representing the same data in different views.
3 Set the data in the model attribute and, optionally, the renderer in the radioRenderer attribute.
In the following example, we prepared a list model called strset, assign it to a radigroup using the model
attribute. Then, the radigroup will do the rest.

Slider
Slider
• Demonstration: Slider [1]
• Java API: Slider [2]
• JavaScript API: Slider [3]
• Style Guide: Slider
Employment/Purpose
A slider component represents a slider with a scale and a knob. It can be used to let user select a value by sliding the
knob along the scale. A slider accepts a range of value starting from 0 to certain maximum value. The default
maximum value of slider scale is 100. You could change the maximum allowed value by the maxpos property.
However the default minimum is 0 and cannot be changed.
Slider 478
Example
Minimal Position
[Since 7.0.1]
Slider supports minimal position, which can be changed by the minpos property as follows.
<slider minpos="30"/>
Slider also provides setRange(int, int) and setRange(double, double) methods to help user
change the range from minimal position to maximum position.
Decimal Mode
[Since 7.0.1]
Set the mode property to "decimal" will enable decimal slider. So the slider can represent decimal number.
Page Increment
By default, the slider will move to the position of the try on which an user clicks. If you prefer to move in a fixed
amount (like the scrollbar does), you could specify the amount of value to move by use of
Slider.setPageIncrement(int) [4].
<slider pageIncrement="10"/>
Step
[Since 7.0.1]
By default, the slider will scroll to the position continuously when an user drags it. If you prefer to scroll a discrete
fixed amount on each step, you can set the amount of value of the step property. Step property is useful in decimal
mode, slider's position value could be rounded to a fixed number by specifying step property. For example, if we
want to retrieve the value from decimal slider in the range of 10.0 to 12.0. As the below picture shows, the default
decimal show the value contains only one digit in fractional part.
If we want to retrieve the value which contains two digits in fractional part, we can set the step value to 0.01. Then
the value will increase as 10.01, 10.02, 10.02 on each step when scrolling the slider. If step is 0.05, the value will
increase as 10.05, 10.10, 10.15 on each step, as below.
Knob Mold
[ ZK EE ]
[ since 8.6.0 ]
Set the mold property to "knob" will enable knob slider. So the slider can act as a normal knob. The knob can
controlled by wheel, drag, click and enter a value to the input element.
Supported Events
Name Event Type
onScroll [5]
Event: ScrollEvent Denotes the content of a scrollable component has been scrolled by the user.
onScrolling Event: ScrollEvent [5] Denotes that the user is scrolling a scrollable component. Notice that the component's content (at the server)
won't be changed until onScroll is received. Thus, you have to invoke the getPos method in the ScrollEvent class to retrieve the
temporary position.

Employment/Purpose
A textbox is used to let users input textual data.
You colud assign value, type, constraint, rows, cols to a textbox using the corresponding
properties. When you assign the property type to a string value "password" when multiline is false
(multiline will be true if you set rows larger than 1 or set multiline to true directly) then any character
in this component will replace by '*'.
You could also assign a constraint value with a regular expression string or a default constraint expression (available
value is "no empty"). When user change the value of textbox, it will cause a validating process to validate the value.
If the validation fails, then a notification will pop up.
Example
To specify multilines value, you can use the attribute element or 
 as shown below
Properties
Tabbable
By specifying a true, the tabbox can insert a long space or format the content inside textbox conveniently. For
example,
<textbox tabbable="true"/>
SubmitByEnter
since 8.5.2
When you specify true, pressing Enter will fire onOK event rather then move to next line, if you want to move to
next line, you should press Shift + Enter.
When submitByEnter="false", press Enter will move to next line.
The default is false.
Type
The type attribute can be used with the textbox based components and can be given the value password. By
setting the type as password the text that is entered into the box cannot be viewed and is replaced by stars.
Username: <textbox/>
Password: <textbox type="password"/>
since 6.5.0

Employment/Purpose
An edit box for holding a time (a java.util.Date Object) , but only Hour & Minute are used.
Example
Properties
Constraint
You could specify what value to accept for input controls by use of the constraint property. It could be no
empty.
If you prefer to display different message to the default one, you can append the error message to the constraint with
a colon.
Notes:
• The error message, if specified, must be the last element and start with colon.
• To support multiple languages, you could use the 「l」 function as depicted in the Internationalization chapter.
Format
Use a to signify it is am or pm. The input string follows the formatting of the SimpleDateFormat [3].
Below is an example of using a within the format.
<zk>
<window title="Test">
<timebox cols="20" format="a hh:mm:ss"/>
</window>
</zk>
In addition to specifying the format explicitly, you could specify the styling[4]. There are four different types of
styling: short, medium, long and full (representing the styling of java.text.DateFormat). For example, you could
specify the styling rather than the real format as follows.
<timebox format="short"/>
<timebox format="long"/>
Then the real format of the timebox will be decided at run time depending the configuration. For more information,
please refer to ZK Developer's Reference: Date and Time Formatting.

[4] The styling is available since 5.0.7
Locale
By default, the real format depends on the current locale (i.e., Locales.getCurrent() (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/
javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ util/ Locales. html#getCurrent()). However, you could specify the locale for an
individual instance such as:
Text
You should set text attribute after format attribute or ZK might not convert the specified text well.
• If you set format later than setting text attribute, ZK might probably fail to convert the text to a Date
object according to default format and throw org.zkoss.zk.ui.WrongValueException.

Borderlayout 506
Borderlayout
Borderlayout
• Demonstration: Borderlayout [1]
• Java API: Borderlayout [2]
• JavaScript API: Borderlayout [3]
• Style Guide: Borderlayout
Employment/Purpose
The layout component is a nested component. The parent component is borderlayout, and its children
components include north, south, center, west, and east. All extra space is placed in the center area. The
combination of children components of borderlayout is free.
A borderlayout could be nested to another borderlayout (actually, almost all kinds of components) to form a
complicated layout.
Example
<borderlayout height="450px">
<borderlayout>
<div style="background:#B8D335">
<label value="25%"
Borderlayout 507
style="color:white;font-size:50px"
/>
</div>
</west>
<center border="none">
<label value="25%"
style="color:white;font-size:50px"
/>
</div>
</center>
style="color:gray;font-size:30px" />
</east>
</borderlayout>
</north>
<center border="0">
<borderlayout>
<label value="30%"
style="color:white;font-size:50px"
/>
</div>
</west>
<center>
style="color:gray;font-size:30px" />
</center>
<label value="30%"
style="color:white;font-size:50px"
/>
</div>
</east>
</borderlayout>
</center>
</borderlayout>
Borderlayout 508
How to Layout
Borderlayout divides its child components into to five areas: North, South, East, West and Center. The heights of
North and South are firstly decided, the remainder space is then given to Center as its height. Note that East and
West also takes on the height of Center.
flex
Layout region shares the height of Borderlayout with a distributing sequence of: North, South and Center while the
heights of East and West takes on the height of Center. In the previous sample, the div in the layout region does not
take up all of layout region's space. In order for the child to occupy the whole area, please set vflex="1" to the child
component.
Scrolling
• The height of Center depends on Borderlayout but not on its child, therefore, the height of Center will not be
expanded by the growing size of its child components. If Center's height is too short for it's child, Center will cut
out the contents of it's child, hence, to avoid this, specify autoscroll="true" to Center in order to assign Center to
handle the scrolling.
<font size="7.76">
<borderlayout width="300px" height="300px">
<north>
<div height="100px" style="background:#008db7;color:white;">N</div
</north>
<south>
<div height="100px" style="background:#112f37;color:white;">S</div
</south>
<center autoscroll="true">
<div height="200px">C</div>
</center>
<east flex="true">
<div width="30px" style="background:#f2f2f2;">E</div>
</east>
<west flex="true">
<div width="20px" style="background:#f2f2f2;">W</div>
</west>
</borderlayout>
</font>
[Since 7.0.0]
The autoscroll attribute will create floating scrollbar and it is not visible unless user mouse over on the region. To
turn off the floating scrollbar and use browser's default scrollbar, please add the following configuration in zk.xml.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zul.nativebar</name>
<value>true</value>
</library-property>
Grown by children
• To make Borderlayout dependable on the size of its child components, vflex feature is applied. Specify
vflex="min" to each layout region and Borderlayout.
<font size="8.19">
<borderlayout width="300px" vflex="min">
<north vflex="min">
<div height="100px" style="background:#008db7;color:white;">N</div>
</north>
<south vflex="min">
<div height="100px" style="background:#112f37;color:white;">S</div>
</south>
<center vflex="min">
<div height="200px">C</div>
</center>
<east flex="true">
<div width="30px" style="background:#f2f2f2;">E</div>
</east>
<west flex="true">
<div width="20px" style="background:#f2f2f2;">W</div>
</west>
</borderlayout>
</font>
Borderlayout in a container
• Almost all containers' heights depend on their child components, however, the height of Borderlayout does not
expand accordingly to the sizes of its child components, therefore, when placing Borderlayout in a container,
users have to specify a fixed height in order for Borderlayout to be visible.
<zk>
<window title="win" border="normal">
<borderlayout height="200px">
<north>
<div style="background:blue">N</div>
</north>
<south>
<div style="background:blue">S</div>
</south>
<center>
<div>C</div>
</center>
<east>
<div style="background:yellow">E</div>
</east>
<west>
<div style="background:yellow">W</div>
</west>
</borderlayout>
</window>
</zk>
Borderlayout 511
• The default height of Borderlayout is dependent on its parent component, therefore, users can also put
Borderlayout in a container with a fixed height.
<zk>
<window title="win" border="normal" height="200px">
<borderlayout>
<north>
<div style="background:blue">N</div>

Box 532
Box
Box
• Demonstration: Box [1]
• Java API: Box [2]
• JavaScript API: Box [3]
• Style Guide: Box
Employment/Purpose
The box model of XUL is used to divide a portion of the display into a series of boxes. Components inside a box will
orient themselves horizontally or vertically. By combining a series of boxes and separators, you can control the
layout of the visual presentation.
A box can lay out its children in one of two orientations, either horizontally or vertically. A horizontal box lines up
its components horizontally and a vertical box orients its components vertically. You can think of a box as one row
or one column from an HTML table.
A box is the generic component that can be used for horizontal and vertical layouts. However, it is generally more
convenient by the use of hbox and vbox directly.
Notice that hbox and vbox are designed to provide more sophisticated layout, such as splitter, alignment and
packing. If you need only the layout feature, it is suggest to use Hlayout and Vlayout instead, since the performance
is much better (due to the use of HTML DIV instead of TABLE).
Example
<zk>
<box orient="vertical">
<button label="Button 1"/>
<button label="Button 2"/>
</box>
<box orient="horizontal">
<button label="Button 3"/>
<button label="Button 4"/>
</box>
</zk>
Box 533
Properties
Spacing
You can control the spacing among children of the box control. For example, the following example puts 5em at
both the upper margin and the lower margin. Notice: the total space between two input fields is 10em.
<vbox spacing="5em">
<textbox/>
<datebox/>
</vbox>
The value is a comma-separated list of widths. If any value is missed, no width is generated for the corresponding

Similarly, you can specify the height of each cell inside a vbox using the heights attribute. These two
properties are the same since the orientation of a box can be horizontal or vertical depending on the orient
property.

Box 536
[Since 5.0.0]
Cell Component
In ZK5, we have introduced a new component named Cell which can be embedded into a Grid or Box (Hbox and
Vbox) to fully control the layout and the style. You can now use the rowspan or the colspan property to layout your
Grid, for example a content cell can now cross over multiple rows. The code below demonstrates how to do this:
<box>
<cell sclass="years">
...
</cell>
</box>
[Since 5.0.0]
Limitation
Box component is consisted by Table element. Therefore, when put Input element like Textbox, Combobox inside
Box component, specify width and height to Box component will be ignored when browser try to render table
element.
For example,
You will see the Box width exceed 200px. Also check the sample [4] with pure HTML in jsfiddle.

Cardlayout
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Cardlayout [1]
• JavaScript API: Cardlayout [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
• Available for ZK:
Employment/Purpose
Cardlayout is a layout that allows end-users to change component like changing cards. The selectedIndex
will decide which component will be shown in the view port. When the value of selectedIndex changes or
when next() or previous() is called, transition of components through animation will occur whereas the
orient attribute decides whether the direction of the animation is horizontal or vertical.

<button onClick="card.next()">next</button>
</hlayout>
Cardlayout 540
Size Issue
If Cardlayout of hflex is set as "min", it's width will be decided by the selected component's size when
initializing. On the other hand, if the child component of Cardlayout sets hflex="1", its width will equal to
Cardlayout's width.

Employment/Purpose
A columnlayout is a layout which can have multiple columns while each column may have any number of panels
placed vertically with different heights. When using Columnlayout, you have to assign width (either percent or pixel)
on every Columnchildren, otherwise the result may depend on the browser and may not be as expected.

GoldenLayout
GoldenLayout
• Java API: GoldenLayout [1]
• JavaScript API: GoldenLayout [2]
• Available for ZK:
•
[ since 8.6.0 ]
Browser Support
• Due to the limitation of the 3rd party library used in this component, GoldenLayout is not supported in mobile
devices.
Employment/Purpose
[3]
GoldenLayout is a layout container which layouts panels as docker type and is used to represent GoldenLayout .
GoldenLayout is the parent component, and its children component can only be GoldenPanel.
A GoldenLayout could be nested to another GoldenLayout (actually, almost all kinds of components) to form a
complicated layout.
GoldenLayout 551
Example
Areas
The areas attribute is a sugar for initializing the layout. In the example code above, we have the areas in line 2
specified as
AAB
AAB
CCD
The GoldenPanels which area attribute is specified as A, will be positioned at the A position of the areas
attribute.
Note that, A A B will result as hflex A is 2 and hflex B is 1. Same with vflex. But if hflex or vflex
attribute is specified on the GoldenPanel which area is A, it overrides the flex size calculated by the GoldenLayout's
areas attribute.
Orient
The orient indicates the initial splitting orientation if you layout it by the area attribute. Supported value: (default)
“vertical” or “horizontal”.
From the example above, it's possible to divide in two ways.
Adding GoldenPanels
By user's drag drop, the GoldenPanels are usually dropped to a region like north, east, south, west and
stack of a GoldenPanel. So we provide some GoldenPanel adding APIs to simulate these actions. Please refer to
the addPanel APIs like GoldenPanel, String) GoldenLayout.addPanel(GoldenPanel, GoldenPanel, String) [4] in
GoldenLayout [1].

Employment/Purpose
GoldenPanel is the only child type of GoldenLayout. It allows us to rearrange them by dragging the tab.
Example
Area
The area attribute is a sugar for initializing the layout. The GoldenPanels with the same area will be stacked
together with the added order. And will be placed at the position of the area in the areas attribute of it's parent
GoldenLayout.
Title
The title attribute is the text on the tab of the GoldenPanel. If not specified, tab will still be rendered but with
default title Panel.
Draggable
If false is specified, This GoldenPanel will not be able to dragged.
Droppable
If false is specified, No other GoldenPanel is allowed to be dropped on this GoldenPanel.
Closable
If false is specified, This GoldenPanel will not be able to be close by user action. And also the close icon will not
show.

Hbox 559
Hbox
Hbox
• Demonstration: Hbox [1]
• Java API: Hbox [1]
• JavaScript API: Box [3]
• Style Guide: Hbox
Employment/Purpose
The hbox component is used to layout its child components horizontally and control those children's horizontal and
vertical position..
Comparing to Hlayout
Notice that hbox and vbox are designed to provide more sophisticated layout, such as splitter, alignment and
packing. ZK renders these 2 components with HTML
. If you only need the layout components, we suggest using Hlayout and Vlayout instead, since the performance is
much better (due to the use of HTML DIV instead of TABLE).
Example
<zk>
<vbox>
<button label="Button 1" />
<button label="Button 2" />
</vbox>
<hbox>
<button label="Button 3" />
<button label="Button 4" />

Cell Component
In ZK5, we have introduced a new component named Cell which can be embedded into a Grid or Box (Hbox and
Vbox) to fully control the layout and the style. You can now use the rowspan or the colspan property to layout your
Grid, for example a content cell can now cross over multiple rows. The code below demonstrates how to do this:
<hbox>

Hlayout
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Hlayout [1]
• JavaScript API: Hlayout [2]
• Style Guide: Hlayout
Employment/Purpose
The hlayout component is a simple horizontal oriented layout. Each component placed in the hlayout will be placed
horizontally in a row.
Notice that hlayout and vlayout do not support splitter. If you need it, please use Hbox and Vbox instead.
Example
<zk>
<vlayout>
<button label="Button 1"/>
<button label="Button 2"/>
</vlayout>
<hlayout>
<button label="Button 3"/>
<button label="Button 4"/>
</hlayout>
</zk>
Spacing
The default spacing between two child components is 0.3em. You are allowed to modify it if you like:
<vlayout spacing="0">
<textbox/>
<button label="Click Me"/>
</vlayout>
Hlayout 564
Vertical Alignment
[since 5.0.5]
By default, the vertical alignment is middle (aka., center). You can change it to top by specifying
sclass="z-valign-top", and to bottom by sclass="z-valign-bottom". For example,
<vlayout>
<hlayout>
center: <textbox/>
</hlayout>
<hlayout sclass="z-valign-top">
top: <textbox/>
</hlayout>
<hlayout sclass="z-valign-bottom">
bottom: <textbox/>
</hlayout>
</vlayout>
[since 6.0.0]
The default value of alignment has been changed to top. You can change it to middle (aka., center) by specifying
valign="middle", and bottom by valign="bottom". For example,
IE6 Limitation
Notice that, since the vertical alignment is specified in the CSS class (Component.setSclass(java.lang.String) [3]),
there are some limitations for IE6. First, the vertical alignment is inherited to the inner hlayout. Thus, you have to
specify the middle alignment explicitly in the inner hlayout if needed. For example,
<hlayout sclass="z-valign-bottom">
bottom: <textbox/>
<vlayout>
<hlayout sclass="z-valign-middle">inner: <textbox/></hlayout>

[Since 8.6.0]
Employment/Purpose
Orgitem contains a node (Orgnode), and an optional Orgchildren.
If the component doesn't contain an Orgchildren, it is a leaf node that doesn't accept any child items.
If it contains an Orgchildren, it is a branch node that might contain other items.
For a branch node, an +/- button will appear at the bottom right of the node, such that user could open and close the
item by clicking on the +/- button.
Orgitem 572
Example
<organigram width="600px">
<orgchildren>
<orgchildren>
<orgchildren>
<orgitem label="Item4"/>
</orgchildren>
</orgitem>
<orgitem label="Item3"/>
</orgchildren>
</orgitem>
</orgchildren>
</organigram>
Open
Each Orgitem contains the open property which is used to control whether to display its child items. The default
value is true. By setting this property to false, you are able to control what part of the Organigram is invisible.
When a user clicks on the +/- button, he opens the Orgitem and makes its children visible. The onOpen event is then
sent to the server to notify the application.
You can also open or close the Orgitem by calling Orgitem.setOpen(java.lang.Boolean) [3] and get the open state by
calling Orgitem.isOpen() [4].
Example:
<organigram>
<orgchildren>
<orgitem label="Item1" open="false" onOpen="createChild()">
<orgchildren/>
</orgitem>
</orgchildren>
<zscript><![CDATA[
void createChild() {
if (event.isOpen())
new Orgitem("new item").setParent(self.getOrgchildren());
}
Orgitem 573
]]></zscript>
</organigram>
Selected
By default, each Orgitem can be selected by users clicking or by programing:
Organigram.setSelectedItem(org.zkoss.zkmax.zul.Orgitem) [7] or Orgitem.setSelected(java.lang.Boolean) [8]
You can get the selected state by calling Orgitem.isSelected() [5]
If you don't allow users to select Orgitem, you can write as following:
<orgitem selectable="false"/>
or
<orgitem disabled="true"/>
<orgitem label="Hello"/>
is equivalent to
<orgitem>
<orgnode label="Hello"/>
</orgitem>
It also means you cannot attach an 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 could write like following:
<zscript><![CDATA[
Orgchildren orgchildren;
void newItem(String label) {
if (orgitem.getOrgchildren() == null) {
orgchildren = new Orgchildren();
orgchildren.setParent(orgitem);
}
new Orgitem(label).setParent(orgchildren);
}
]]></zscript>
Orgitem 574
<organigram>
<orgchildren>
<orgitem id="orgitem">
<orgnode>
<textbox onOK="newItem(self.value)"/>
</orgnode>
</orgitem>
</orgchildren>
</organigram>
Supported Events
Name Event Type

Employment/Purpose
A portallayout lays out a container which can have multiple columns, and each column might have any
number panels placed vertically with different heights. Portallayout allows users to drag-and-drop a panel to
change its location.
When using Portallayout, you have to assign the width (either percentage or pixel) to each
Portalchildren, or the result might depend on the browser, and not as expected.

Rowlayout 582
Rowlayout
Rowlayout
• Java API: RowLayout [1]
• JavaScript API: RowLayout [2]
• Style Guide: RowLayout
• Available for ZK:
Employment/Purpose
A rowlayout lays out a container which can have multiple columns, it offers a 12-column grid out of the box.
You can simply chooses the number of columns to occupy for each major content area, and may also skip columns
for extra space without inserting space-inducing elements.
The following diagram illustrates the rowlayout/rowchildren components and their various configurable parameters.
Example
Using rowlayout component is simple. First, use rowlayout to divide the horizontal space of its parent container into
a number of columns. You can also optionally specify the column/spacing ratio. The default number of columns is
12, and the default column/spacing ratio is 1/3, which means column is 3 times wider than the spacing between
columns. Spacing could be given as a ratio, a percentage or a floating-point number.
Next, use rowchildren component to place components into an integral number of these columns. You can also
optionally specify how many columns to skip ahead.
A sample usage is demonstrated below.

Splitlayout
Splitlayout
• Demonstration: Spltlayout [1]
• Java API: Splitlayout [2]
• JavaScript API: Splitlayout [3]
• Available for ZK:
Employment/Purpose
Splitlayout is a layout container, which is used to divide a component into two components.
These two components inside Splitlayout, the splitlayouts, are placed either horizontally or vertically by setting the
orientation, and users can easily resize these two viewports by dragging the splitter bar. Also, like other ZK layout
components, it supports hflex and vflex, indicating that users can divide the area into three or more spaces by putting
the splitlayouts into the outer Splitlayout.
Comparing to Splitter, this component has several advantages:
1. Splitter can only be used inside Hbox/ Vbox. Splitlayout has no such limitation.
2. Hbox/Vbox are both rendered with HTML which is heavy for a browser. Splitlayout is rendered with div which is
more light-weighted.
Splitlayout 586
Example
Orientation
The orientation indicates the how these two children container would display in splitlayout. Supported value:
(default) “vertical” or “horizontal”.
Collapse
The collapse property (Splitlayout.setCollapse(java.lang.String) [4]) specifies which side of the splitter is collapsed
when its grippy (button) is clicked. If this property is not specified, the splitter will not cause a collapse.
Supported value: (default) “none”, “before” or "after". "before" means that the splitter in splitlayout would collapse to
the left/top, and "after means splitter in splitlayout would collapse to the right/button.
Open
This method would not be able to work if the "collapse" attribute is not specified.
onOpen Event
When a splitlayout is collapsed or opened by a user, the onOpen event (OpenEvent [3]) is sent to the application.

Splitter
Splitter
• Demonstration: Splitter [1]
• Java API: Splitter [2]
• JavaScript API: Splitter [3]
• Style Guide: Splitter
Employment/Purpose
An element which should appear before or after an element inside a box (Box, Vbox and Hbox).
When the splitter is dragged, the sibling elements of the splitter are resized. If getCollapse() is true, a grippy
in placed inside the splitter, and one sibling element of the splitter is collapsed when the grippy is clicked. Using the
Splitter in combination with hbox/vbox allows resizing - making it draggable.
Example
Collapse
The collapse property (Splitter.setCollapse(java.lang.String) [4]) specifies which side of the splitter is collapsed when
its grippy (button) is clicked. If this property is not specified, the splitter will not cause a collapse (and the
grippy/button won't appear).
Allowed values and their meaning are as follows.
Value Description
before When the grippy is clicked, the element immediately before the splitter in the same parent is collapsed so that its width or height is 0.
after When the grippy is clicked, the element immediately after the splitter in the same parent is collapsed so that its width or height is 0.
Open
To know whether a splitter is collapsed, you can check the value of the open property (Splitter.isOpen() [5]). To
open or collapse dynamically, you are able to set the value of the open property (Splitter.setOpen(boolean) [6]).
onOpen Event
When a splitter is collapsed or opened by a user, the onOpen event (OpenEvent [3]) is sent to the application.
OS Styling
If you want to change the styling to be more similar to OS's look as follows.
[7]
You could specify HtmlBasedComponent.setZclass(java.lang.String) with z-splitter-os-ver or
z-splitter-os-hor, depending on the orient is vertical or horizontal.
Here is an example that switches the styling between the default and OS-look:
<window>
<panel title="Splitter" border="normal" width="500px">
<panelchildren>
<hbox spacing="0" width="100%" height="100%">

The vbox component is used to create a vertically oriented box. Added components will be placed underneath each
other in a column.
Notice that hbox and vbox are designed to provode more sophisticated layout, such as splitter, alignment and
packing. If you need only the layout feature, it is suggest to use Hlayout and Vlayout instead, since the performance
is much better (due to the use of HTML DIV instead of TABLE).
Example

Cell Component
In ZK5, we have introduced a new component named Cell which can be embedded into a Grid or Box (Hbox and
Vbox) to fully control the layout and the style. You can now use the rowspan or the colspan property to layout your
Grid, for example a content cell can now cross over multiple rows. The code below demonstrates how to do this:
<vbox>
<cell sclass="years">
...
</cell>
</vbox>
[Since 5.0.0]
Limitation
Box component is consisted by Table element. Therefore, when put Input element like Textbox, Combobox inside
Box component, specify width and height to Box component will be ignored when browser try to render table
element.

Employment/Purpose
A barcode component is used to generate a barcode at the browser, and decode the barcode on the server side.
There are many properties to dealing with the barcode component. First, you could use the type property to
specify the type of barcode, for example: qrcode, code128, code 128A...., after choose the type you want, you could
generate the barcode of the code. And every barcode image could response to a certain value, the property value is
for barcode image which wants to stand for.
Barcode 607
Example
type
The Barcode has 18 types for 1D and 1 type for 2D by default. After choosing the type of barcode, and you can
render the barcode as the type you choose.
<barcode type="qr"/>
Note: the type that barcode supported can be referenced as Supported Barcode Type (Default).
value
value is a string attribute that barcode component want to render.
height
Height is a string attribute to define the height of barcode component.
Note:
(1) height is a string as a format of "number+px"
(2) In type of qr, the width is as same as the height.

displayValue
The displayValue is the boolean attribute to decide whether the show the value under the barcode or not.
fontSize
The fontSize is a integer attribute that decides the text font size under the 1D barcode.
barWidth
The barWidth is a integer attribute that deciding the single bar width of barcode image.
registerLibrary
registerLibrary(function () {}, library_name, [array of types] ) is a client-side, class-level method to register a custom
library into barcode widget. If you register the own custom library into Barcode, every single widget can use the
custom library. The way to registering is zkmax.barcode.Barcode.registerLibrary(...). For example: you can register

Browser Support
• IE browsers are not supported
• For iOS Safari only supports 11+
Note: iOS Chrome and other WebView browsers are not supported due to Apple's restriction.
Note: due to Chrome's security policy, starting from Chrome 47, getUserMedia() requests are only allowed from
secure origins: HTTPS or localhost.
Employment/Purpose
A Barcodescanner component is used to scan and decode the barcode on the client side. There are many
properties to dealing with the barScan component. First, you could use the type property to specify the type of
barcode, for example: qr, code128, ..., after choosing the type you want, you could scan the barcode by the scanner.
You can choose the continue scanning by setting continuous="true", and setting the scan rate by setting
interval="1000", the unit of interval is millisecond. You can turn on the scanner switch by setting enable="true", or
close it by enable="false".
Example
type
The Barcodescanner has 9 types for 1D and 1 type for 2D by default. After choosing the type of barcode, and you
can scan the barcode as the type you choose. You also can scan multiple types at one time, just setting
type="xxx1,xxx2". For example
<barcodescanner type="qr,code128"/>
continuous
Continuous is a boolean attribute to let the Barcodescanner can interval scan or not.
interval
The interval is a subsidiary, integer attribute for continuous scan. The interval="500" means the scanner will scan
once every 500 millisecond.
enable
The enable is boolean attribute to switch the BarcodeScanner. You can use the zk mvvm mechanism to to switch the
BarcodeScanner.
<window viewModel="@id('vm')@init('xxxVM')">
<barcodescanner type="code128" enable= "@bind('vm.enable')"/>
</window>
registerLibrary
registerLibrary(constructor, library_name, [array of types] ) is a client-side, class-level method to register a custom
library into barcode widget. The mechanism is like the registerLibrary in Barcode. The constructor is a json-format
parameter to define all the need setting for the library.
constructor =
{
create: the function to create a reader prototype,
name: the name of the reader, and we will mount the reader on the
widget by wgt._'name'+'Reader',
init: a function to initialize the reader properties,
open: a function to enable the detecting function,
decodeOnce: a reader decode method, and zk will implement the
contScan attribute for you,
setType: a function to connect the reader and widget types
function,
other: a json properties to let you to attend the reader
method.(future feature)
}
Like barcode, if you register the own custom library into Barcodescanner, every single widget should use the custom
library object. The way to registering is zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner.registerLibrary(...). Here is the example
that how we inject the quagga library object into the widget
<?script src="myBarcodescannerLibrary.js"?>
<script>
...
zk.afterLoad('zkmax.barcode', function () {
zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner.registerLibrary({
create: jq.extend(true, {}, Quagga), //the reader
name: "QUAGGA",
init: zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner._quaggaInit,
//@param(wgt, video, canvas)
open:
zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner._quaggaOpen, //@param(wgt, video,
canvas)
decode:
zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner._quaggaDecode,//@param(wgt, reader)
setTypes: zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner._quaggaSetType,
BarcodeScanner 613
//@param()
other: null
}, 'library-name', ['type1', 'type2', ...]);
});
...
</script>
<?script src="implementation.js"?>
<script>
...
zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner._quaggaInit: function (wgt, video,
canvas) {
/***the reader init method***/
reader.onDetected() {
reader.processing = false;
.......
}
}
zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner. _quaggaOpen: function (wgt, video,
canvas) {
/***the open method for quagga reader init method***/
}
zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner._quaggaDecode: function (wgt,
reader) {
reader.processing = true;
/***the decode method for quagga reader***/
}
zkmax.barscanner.Barcodescanner._quaggaSetType: function (wgt,
video, canvas) {
/***the set type method for quagga reader***/
}
...
</script>
For most barcode reader, they would have some some common points: init, open, decode, on detect... When injecting
reader into widget, we use the those common points to connect the reader and the widget. Here you have to
implements the some function for this. As above, you need to implements the init, open, decode and some other
requiring method. Here is a little reminder that, because different library has different design for the decode and
onDetect in their library, you may need to add a reader.processing = true at the beginner of decoding function, and
reader.processing = false at the detected callback function by yourself. After you inject the library object into the
widget, we will generate the JavaScript object mount on the widget. We generate zinit, zexecute, zopen, method onto
the reader and we will use it internally. You can get the reader by wgt._'your_libarary_name'Reader.
Note:
(1) registerLibrary is the pure-client-side method.
(2) As barcode, If you want to register the custom library for all the web application, you can add <javascript

Camera 619
Camera
Camera
• Java API: Camera [1]
• JavaScript API: Camera [2]
[ ZK EE ]
[ since 8.6.0 ]
Employment/Purpose
The Camera component is used to record videos and take snapshots in the browser. Developers can control the
camera by start, stop, pause, resume and snapshot.
Browser Support
The Camera component currently supports Chrome and Firefox. This component is based on
Navigator.getUserMedia() [3] and MediaRecorder [4], please check your browser compatibility [5] before using it.
Example
To record or take a snapshot, users should first enable their camera and microphone (as shown below.) If users reject
the requests, they cannot use the features of the Camera component.
Note that some browsers such as Google Chrome will only accept webcam and microphone access from a trusted
(https) source.
The Camera component also provides a method requestCamera() to request user's media devices before
starting recording or taking snapshots.
recording
setRecording(true) is the same as invoking start() or resume(), depending on camera's current state.
setRecording(false) is the same as invoking stop(), if you want to pause recording, please invoke pause().
isRecording() can check whether the camera is recording or not.
audio
You can decide whether to record audio while recording the video by specifying the value of audio; the valid value is
boolean.
Default: true
previewRecord
The Camera component provides a preview screen to preview the recorded content.
When you turn on the preview screen, you can set the screen size by specifying width and height in 'px'.
If you wish to take a snapshot, you must turn on the preview screen first, or nothing will happen.
Default: true
maxsize
You can set the maximum size for uploading recorded video and snapshot. The unit is "KB". Negative value means
unlimited, e,g,. maxsize="-1."
When the size of the recorded video or snapshot is bigger than the configured max size, nothing will be uploaded and
it will trigger an event. To handle this, you can listen to onMaxsizeExceed and get the upload size from
event.getData().
Default: please refer to max-upload-size [6]
lengthLimit
You can set the maximum recording length in "seconds".
When the recorded time exceeds the max length, it will stop recording and trigger an event. To handle this, you can
listen to onLengthLimitExceed.
Default: 60
For example:
If you want to notify users when the camera is paused, you can write css code like the following:
<style>
.z-camera-pause {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
top: 30px;
left: 30px;
position: absolute;
border-left: 10px solid red;
border-right: 10px solid red;
}
</style>
Camera 622
UploadEvent
There are two types of UploadEvent to listen to data upload: one is onVideoUpload and the other is
onSnapshotUpload. Both ways can receive uploaded data by calling event.getMedia().
onVideoUpload will be notified after calling stop(), or when the recorded time exceeds the maximum length.
onSnapshotUpload will be notified after calling snapshot().
You can easily integrate the Camera component with Video [7] and Image [3].
For example:
To integrate these components, you can write codes as shown below, and after the video or snapshot is uploaded,
you can see the results immediately.
<camera onVideoUpload='video.setContent(event.getMedia())'
onSnapshotUpload='image.setContent(event.getMedia())' />
<video id="video" />
<image id="image" />
StateChangeEvent
When you call start(), stop(), pause() or resume(), the Camera component will trigger
StateChangeEvent. You can check the current state by calling event.getState(). The Camera component has four
states, and you can access them by using Camera.START, Camera.STOP, Camera.PAUSE and
Camera.RESUME.
For example:
If you want to do something after the recording starts, you can write codes as shown below (MVVM style).
@Command
public void stateChange(@BindingParam("event") StateChangeEvent event) {
if (event.getState() == Camera.START) {
// do something...
}
}
The Camera component also provides isRecording(), isPaused() and isStopped() methods to check camera state.
Supported Events

onVideoUpload [5]
Event: UploadEvent Notifies after the video has been uploaded.
onSnapshotUpload [5]
Event: UploadEvent Notifies after the snapshot has been uploaded.

Video
Video
• Java API: Video [1]
• JavaScript API: Video [2]
• Available for ZK:
•
since 8.6.0
Employment/Purpose
A Video component is used to play the video in the browser. Like audio, you can either use the src property to
specify an URL of the video resource, or use the setContent method to specify a dynamically generated video.
Users can control the video by play, stop and pause.
Example
Video 626
Supports HTML5
The Video component is based on HTML 5's <video> tag, and supports the following properties: src, autoplay,
controls, loop, playbackRate, dimBackground, preload, clipToFit, poster, playsinline
and crossorigin.
Supported Formats
mp4, WebM, ogg [3]
Multiple Sources
Most browsers do not support all the video formats, so you can specify multiple source files in different formats for
different browsers. If the first format is not supported by the browser, it will fallback to the 2nd format. For example:
enableFullScreen
For security reasons, fullScreen API can only be initiated by an user gesture. Therefore the Video component only
provides a client-side method enableFullScreen() to enable the full screen mode.
dimBackground
The Video component provides a theater mode, If dimBackground="true", the whole page will be covered by
translucent black by default except the Video.
When the theater mode is enabled, user can click anywhere on the page outside the Video to disable theater mode
and return to the normal view.
By default, css of dimBackground has two properties as shown in the following css code.
You can also customize the background in your preference by simply overriding .z-video-dim-background in css.
<style>
.z-video-dim-background {
background: black;
opacity: 0.8;
}
</style>
playbackRate
The Video component provides setPlaybackRate(double) to control the video playing speed. The valid value depends
on the displayed browser.
Default: 1.0
currentTime
The Video component provides setCurrentTime(double) to jump to the specified time-point (in seconds) of
the playback video.
playing
The Video component provides setPlaying(boolean) to play or pause the video.
playing="true" is same as invoking play(); playing="false" is same as invoking pause().
volume
The Video component provides setVolume(double) to change the volume. The value should range between
0.0 and 1.0.
Default: 1.0
muted
The Video component provides setMuted(boolean) to mute the video.
Default: false
clipToFit
The Video component provides setClipToFit(boolean) to clip the video when the source size doesn't fit the size
specified in the Video tag.
For example:
The source image used in the sample below is 450 * 320. When you set width="300px", height="320px", by default,
blank space will be inserted above and below the video to preserve the aspect ratio (left image); when you set
clipToFit="true", it will cut off the sides and fill up the space (right image).
Video 629
<video width="300px" height="320px" src="zk.mp4" style="border: 1px solid red;" clipToFit="true" />
StateChangeEvent
When you call play(), stop() or pause() StateChangeEvent will be triggered. You can check the current
state by calling event.getState(). Video has three states, and you can access them by using Video.PLAY,
Video.STOP and Video.PAUSE.
For example:
If you want to do something after the video starts to play, you can write codes as shown below (MVVM style).
@Command
public void stateChange(@BindingParam("event") StateChangeEvent event) {
if (event.getState() == Video.PLAY) {
// do something...
}
}
Video component also provides isPlaying(), isPaused() and isStopped() methods to check the
video state.
Supported Events

Auxheader
• Demonstration: Grid (Merged Header) [1]
• Java API: Auxheader [1]
• JavaScript API: Auxheader [2]
• Style Guide: Auxhead
Employment/Purpose
The auxiliary headers support the colspan and rowspan properties which allows itself to be spanned across several
columns/rows. Auxiliary headers should be accompanied with columns/listhead/treecols when used with
grid/listbox/tree.
Example
An auxiliary header.
<grid>
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="H1'07" colspan="6" />
<auxheader label="H2'07" colspan="6" />
</auxhead>
<auxhead>

<column label="Jan" />
<column label="Feb" />
<column label="Mar" />
<column label="Apr" />
<column label="May" />
<column label="Jun" />
<column label="Jul" />
<column label="Aug" />
<column label="Sep" />
Auxheader 633
<grid width="200px">
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
</auxhead>
<columns><!-- this is wrong since the number of column components is smaller -->
<column label="B"/>
<column label="C"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<row>
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/><!-- four columns -->
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
Auxheader 634
As shown above, the column with label C will be invisible, because the fakers are not created correctly. Here is the
result but wrong DOM structure:
There is a simple workaround: specify all columns. If you don't want to show all columns, you could use Auxheader
instead of Column, and then add an empty Columns. For example, the code in the previous example can be fixed as
follows:
<grid width="200px">
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
</auxhead>
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="B"/>
<auxheader label="C"/>
</auxhead>
<columns/> <!-- use an empty columns to make fakers created correctly -->
<rows>
<row>
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
Auxheader 635
The other limitation is that the width of the Auxheader component depend on the Column component. Thus, if you'd
like to specify the width in the Column component, it means it will take some space even when there are no label in
all Column components. The workaround is simple: make the empty Columns component invisible. For example,
<grid width="350px">
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="A" rowspan="2" />
<auxheader label="BC" colspan="2" />
<auxheader label="D" rowspan="2" />
</auxhead>
<auxhead>
<auxheader label="B"/>
<auxheader label="C"/>
</auxhead>
<columns visible="false"><!-- make it invisible -->
<column width="100px"/><!-- specify width here -->
<column width="150px"/>
<column width="50px"/>
<column width="50px"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<row>
<label forEach="E,F,G,H" value="${each}"/>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>

Although they look alike, the DOM structures generated for the two table cells are slightly different:
With a Cell component given, there is no inner <div> element generated, which grants you a more flexible control
to the DOM structure, but as a result you may need to provide more style handling. It is also recommended to use
Cell for handling row span, column span, and alignment. In neither of the above cases, it is recommended not to use
Cell. To put more than 1 Component in a grid cell, you can also use a Div to wrap them.

Paging 643
Paging
Paging
• Demonstration: Paging (with Grid) [1], Paging (with Listbox) [2], Paging (with Tree) [3]
• Java API: Paging [4]
• JavaScript API: Paging [5]
• Style Guide: Paging
Employment/Purpose
A paging component is used with another component to separate long content into multiple pages. If a component
has long content to display, you could separate them into pages, and then use a paging component as a controller to
allow the user decide which page to display.
The listbox, grid and tree components support the paging intrinsically, so you don't need to specify a paging
component explicitly. In other words, they will instantiate and manage a paging component automatically if the
paging mold is specified. Of course, you could specify an external paging component, if you want to have different
visual layout, or to control multiple listboxes, grids and/or trees with one single paging component.
Example
For example, suppose you have 100 items and prefer to show 20 items at a time, then you can use the paging
components as follows.
<vbox>
<paging totalSize="100" pageSize="20"/>
</vbox>
When a user clicks on the hyperlinks, the onPaging event is sent with an instance of PagingEvent [6] to the paging
component. To decide which portion of your 100 items are visible, you should add a listener to the paging
component. Please note that the code below is pseudo code. For real examples, please refer to User Cases below.
<zk>
<div id="content"/> <!-- the long content is displayed here -->
<paging id="paging" />
<zscript>
List result = new SearchEngine().find("ZK");
//assume SearchEngine.find() will return a list of items.
paging.setTotalSize(result.size());
paging.addEventListener("onPaging", new
org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener() {
public void onEvent(Event event) {
int pgno = event.getPaginal().getActivePage();
int ofs = pgno * event.getPaginal().getPageSize();
Paging 644
new Viewer().redraw(content,
result, ofs, ofs +
event.getPaginal().getPageSize() - 1);
//assume redraw(Div content, List result, int b, int
e) will display
//the result to the content component from the b-th
item to the e-th item
}
}
);
</zscript>
</zk>
Properties
Disabled
[Since 8.0.3]
Paging.setDisabled(boolean) [7] is used to disable the paging component. It can block the user from navigating
through the pagination. For example,
Limitation
Paging can not apply stubonly at the same time. For example,
Although paging will invalidate listbox and its children, stubonly needs the referred widget in client side
which is detached during paging and throws mounting error.

5.0.4
Since 5.0.4, the data binder will fire onCreate to each cloned component, so it is safe to use onCreate with the
data binder.
However, there is one more thing to be noticed: how the event listener is cloned when a component is cloned. By
default, the new component will share the same listener with the original component. Sometimes, it might not be
CreateEvent 652
correct (for example, the listener might be an inner class that assumes this to be the original component), the
event listener shall implement ComponentCloneListener [3] to clone the listener by itself. For example,

Represents an event cause by user's openning or closing something at the client.
Note: it is a bit confusing but Events.ON_CLOSE is sent when user clicks a close button. It is a request to ask the
server to close a window, a tab or others. If the server ignores the event, nothing will happen at the client. By default,
the component is detached when receiving this event.
On the other hand, Events.ON_OPEN (with OpenEvent) is a notification. It is sent to notify the server that the
client has opened or closed something. And, the server can not prevent the client from opening or closing.

Messagebox 689
Messagebox
Messagebox
• Demonstration: Messagebox [1]
• Java API: Messagebox [2]
• JavaScript API: N/A
Employment/Purpose
It provides a set of utilities to show a message and have a user to confirm a situation.
It is typically used to alert users when an error occurs, or to prompt users for an decision.
Example
The simplest use of a message box is to inform the user something is done. For example,
There are a lot of utilities that allow you to show a message in different look, such as the buttons, icon and title.
Please refer to Messagebox [2] for more information.
Listen ClickEvent
[since 6.0.0]
Since ZK 6, the event listener will be invoked with an instance of ClickEvent (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/
latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Messagebox/ ClickEvent. html#), and it is easy to retrieve the button being clicked from it.
For example,
Customization
If you'd like to assign the order, you could use org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button[ (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/
latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Messagebox. html#show(java. lang. String,), org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener listener)
Messagebox.show(java.lang.String, org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button[], org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener
listener)] as follows.
The buttons will be displayed in the same order as the array specified in the buttons argument.
If you don't care the order, you could use a combination of constants, such as Messagebox.OK (http:/ / www. zkoss.
org/javadoc/latest/zk/org/zkoss/zul/Messagebox.html#OK). For example,
By default, the label of a button is loaded from the message file based on the current locale. However, you could
assign any label you'd like.
The btnLabels argument is an array of labels you'd like to use. If it is null or the length is shorter than the array
specified the buttons argument, the default label will be used.
<library-property>
<name>org.zkoss.zk.ui.WebApp.name</name>
<value>My Killer Application</value>
</library-property>
The Template
The UI of a message box is based on a ZUL file, so you could customize it by replacing it with your own
implementation. It can be done easily by invoking Messagebox.setTemplate(java.lang.String) (http:/ / www. zkoss.
org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Messagebox. html#setTemplate(java. lang. String)). Notice that it affects all
message boxes used in an application. It is typically called when the application starts (i.e., in
WebAppInit.init(org.zkoss.zk.ui.WebApp) (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ util/
WebAppInit. html#init(org. zkoss. zk. ui. WebApp)) -- for more information, please refer to ZK Developer's
Reference: Init and Cleanup).
To implement a custom template, please take a look at the default template (https:/ / github. com/ zkoss/ zk/ blob/
master/zul/src/archive/web/zul/html/messagebox.zul).
Messagebox 692
The params argument in java.lang.String, org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button[ (http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/
latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Messagebox. html#show(java. lang. String,), java.lang.String[], java.lang.String,
org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button, org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener, java.util.Map)
Messagebox.show(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button[], java.lang.String[],
java.lang.String, org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button, org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener, java.util.Map)] allows you
to customize a message dialog further. For example, you could make the dialog wider with the parameter called
width as shown below.
The parameters will be passed to the dialog template (described in the previous section), so you could pass whatever
you'd like as long as the template recognize them. In additions, the priority of the params argument is higher, i.e.,
it could override the default values, though it is rarely required.
[since 7.0.1]
User also can customize the style of message dialog with the parameter called sclass as below.
If you'd like to show a non-buttons dialog, you could use org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button[ (http:/ / www. zkoss.
org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zul/ Messagebox. html#show(java. lang. String,),
org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener listener) Messagebox.show(java.lang.String,
org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox.Button[], org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener listener)] with an empty array as follows.

RendererCtrl 694
RendererCtrl
RendererCtrl
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: RendererCtrl [1]
• JavaScript API: N/A
Employment/Purpose
This interface defines the methods components like Listbox used to notify the renderer for several circumstance.
Though ListitemRenderer.render(org.zkoss.zul.Listitem, java.lang.Object) is called
one item a timer, a request might have several items to render. And, if the renderer implements this interface,
doTry() will be called before any rendering, and doFinally() will be called after all rendering. If any
exception occurs, doCatch(java.lang.Throwable) will be called.
A typical use is to start a transaction and use it for rendering all items from the same request.

XHTML Components 697
XHTML Components
This section describes how to use the XHTML component set (i.e., XHTML components). XHTML components are
in a different component set than ZUL components. You have to specify XML namespace to distinguish them if you
want to use them in the same ZUML document. For example,
<window xmlns:h="xhtml">
<h:ul>
<h:li>Click <button/></h:li>
</h:ul>
</window>
Notice that the HTML component set is one of the approaches to use HTML tags directly in a ZUML document. In
most cases, it is not the best approach. For information please refer to ZK Developer's Reference: HTML tags.
Encoding URLs
A XHTML component generates attributes directly to native HTML tags. It means, unlike XUL, it doesn't prefix the
servlet context path to attributes for specifying URL. For example, the following codes will not work (unless the
servlet context is "").
<img href="/my/good.png"/>
<img id="another"/>
<zscript>
another.setDynamicAttribute("href",
Executions.getCurrent().encodeURL("/my/good.png"));
</zscript>
Notice that XUL components and all ZK features that accept a URL will invoke the <mp>encodeURL</mp> method
automatically. The reason why we do not handle XHTML components is that we do not know which attribute
requires a URL.

[1] http:/ / www. zkoss. org/ javadoc/ latest/ zk/ org/ zkoss/ zk/ ui/ Execution. html#encodeURL(java. lang. String)
In Pure Java 698
In Pure Java
It is also possible to create XHTML components in Java. The XHTML components are mapped to classes by ZK
which means you can implement something like this:
This enables you to use XHTML components from ZUL or within Java just like anything ZK related. If you need to
output an XHTML component which is not present in ZK you can use the Raw object.
Raw
A special component, Raw [1] is used to represent any component that is not declared in the following section (i.e.,
not in lang.xml). In other words, if any unrecognized component name is found, an instance of Raw [1] is created and
a proper HTML tag will be generated accordingly. In other words, any component name is legal as long as the
targeted browser supports.
<marquee align="top">...</marquee>
is equivalent to
Next let's investigate the differences between XUL and XHTML components.

XML Components
This section describes how to use the XML component set. The XML component set is a special component set used
in a XML device. A XML device is a client that accepts XML output. You can not use it with ZUL or XHTML.
For introduction please refer to ZK Developer's Reference.
Most of XML elements with the XML namespace are mapped to a general XML component (XmlNativeComponent
[1]
) that will generate the element and all its attributes to the client directly. However, the XML component set also
provide some components for different functionality. We discuss them one-by-one in the following sections.

Transformer 700
Transformer
Transformer
• Java API: Transformer [1]
Employment/Purpose
Transformer [1] is used to translate a XML document to another with a XSTL [2] template.
<?page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"?>
<x:transformer xsl="book.xsl" xmlns:x="xml">
<book>

</book>
</x:transformer>
where transformer is a component of the XML component set, so we have to specify the namespace: xml.
Otherwise, the native namespace is assumed, and the element is generated directly.
Then, let us assume the content of book.xsl is as follows.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

Annotation 702
Annotation
This section describes how to add annotations on a component definition. When you annotate a component
definition, all its instances will have the annotations. To annotate a component definition, you have to specify the
annotations in a language definition.
Data Binding
Data binding synchronizes data between View and ViewModel according to component definition's annotation. The
annotation specifies when to save (or load) which attribute, how to convert, validate and render the data. It can be
found in metainfo\zk\lang-addon.xml of zkbind.jar. Please refer to ZK Client-side Reference/Language
Definition about how to configure language definition and its addon. If you want data binding can works on your
newly-created component, you should define its own annotations.
Annotation Attributes
Here is the attribute list used in lang-addon.xml:
ACCESS Access privilege. The value can be "both", "save", or "load"(default value); default value is used if not specify.
CONVERTER [1]
System converter for special properties. (optional) e.g. SelectedItem in listbox. see ListboxSelectedItemConverter
SAVE_EVENT Save trigger event. It takes effect only when ACCESS attribute is "both" or "save".
LOAD_EVENT Load trigger event; It takes effect only when ACCESS attribute is "both" or "load".
LOAD_REPLACEMENT The replacement attribute for loading. It's used when there is a issue to load to original attribute.; e.g. value of textbox,
it loads to "rawValue".
SAVE_REPLACEMENT The replacement attribute for saving. It's used when there is a issue to save to original attribute.; e.g. selectedItem of
selectbox, it save the value selecteIndex via converter to the bean. (selectedItem is not existed in selectbox).
Example
Let's take a look at some examples.
Textbox's data binding annotation
<component>
<component-name>textbox</component-name>
<extends>textbox</extends>
<annotation>
<annotation-name>ZKBIND</annotation-name>
<property-name>value</property-name>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>ACCESS</attribute-name>
Data Binding 703
<attribute-value>both</attribute-value>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>SAVE_EVENT</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>onChange</attribute-value>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>LOAD_REPLACEMENT</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>rawValue</attribute-value>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>LOAD_TYPE</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>java.lang.String</attribute-value>
</attribute>
</annotation>
</component>
• We use <extends> to append data binding annotations based on original component definition. If you write
these annotation attributes in a component definition file ( metainfo\zk\lang.xml , you don't have to use
<extends> .
• ZKBIND is zkbind system's annotation name. It means we use annotation of data binding 2.
• The <property-name> is the target property we want data binding to synchronize.
• Because Textbox is a component for input, its access privilege is "both".
• As the SAVE_EVENT is onChange, you can find when your cursor focus on a Textbox is blured, Textbox's value
is saved.
• Here we use LOAD_REPLACEMENT for a "loading empty value" issue related to "constraint" attribute. It is
common that when we load textbox first time, its value is empty. If we also define constraint as "not empty", then
the first time loading triggers error message to display. This error misleads users, so we use another replacement
attribute to load the value for not triggering error message.
Selectbox's data binding annotation
<component>
<component-name>selectbox</component-name>
<extends>selectbox</extends>
<annotation>
<annotation-name>ZKBIND</annotation-name>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>RENDERER</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>itemRenderer=org.zkoss.bind.impl.BindSelectboxRenderer</attribute-value>
</attribute>
</annotation>
<annotation>
<annotation-name>ZKBIND</annotation-name>
<property-name>selectedItem</property-name>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>SAVE_EVENT</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>onSelect</attribute-value>
Data Binding 704
</attribute>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>LOAD_EVENT</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>onAfterRender</attribute-value>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>ACCESS</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>both</attribute-value>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>SAVE_REPLACEMENT</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>selectedIndex</attribute-value>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<attribute-name>CONVERTER</attribute-name>
<attribute-value>org.zkoss.bind.converter.sys.SelectboxSelectedItemConverter</attribute-value>
</attribute>
</annotation>
• We set RENDERER to render selectbox's item when model data comes from data binding. (line 7,8)
• Normally users should specify when to reload properties. But if you think the property requires reloading after a
specific event, you can set that event's name as value of LOAD_EVENT. (line 19,20)
• The reason we use SAVE_REPLACEMENT is that Selectbox has no "selectedItem" attribute, so we save to
another replacement attribute "selectedIndex". (line 27,28) Because those 2 attributes have different type, we have
to use a converter, SelectboxSelectedItemConverter [2] to convert selectedItem. (line 31,32)

Scrollview
Scrollview
• Demonstration: N/A
• Java API: Scrollview [1]
• JavaScript API: Scrollview [2]
• Style Guide: N/A
• Available in ZK EE only [13]
Employment/Purpose
since 6.5
Applications exceeding a browser's viewport relies on desktop browsers to automatically generates scrollbars by
using CSS overflow attribute so users can view the entire page but this feature, unfortunately, is not available on
tablet or mobile browsers.
Scrollview is a container that makes its content scrollable on tablet/mobile device with a rubber band effect you see
on iPhone/iPad. When you attempt to scroll past the end of the content area, the area still moves slowly with your
fingers. Since there is no more content, then the area will bounce back to the correct position after your fingers leave
the screen.
When end users access your application via a tablet or any mobile devices, Scrollview detects and triggers this
feature. Oppositely, if the application is accessed via a desktop browser, Scrollview remains un-triggered while
desktop browser will automatically generate scrollbars when needed just like before.
Scrollview 707
Example
You can scroll up/down to see other window components with the following sample ZUL.
Properties
Orient
The default orient of child components inside Scrollview is vertical. You can also change it to horizontal.
Supported Events
Scrollview 708
onScroll [5]
Event: ScrollEvent In mobile devices: Denotes that the content of a scrollable component has been scrolled by the user.
Notice that you can check if it is scrolled outside/inside boundaries by invoking getOutOfBound method in the ScrollEvent.
In desktop: This event will be triggered when users scroll all the way to the top or to the end of the page.
onScrolling Event: ScrollEvent [5] Denotes that the user is scrolling a scrollable component.

Limitation
Unsupported Component
In Tablet/mobile device, there are some different design against desktop browser, which make some ZK components
are not supported.
Frozen
Frozen component is implemented by cheating the browser to show scrollbar as desired. However, tablet/mobile
devices have no scrollbar so this feature is not applicable in tablet/mobile devices.
Unsupported API
In Tablet device, we use some kind of the HTML5 new feature to generate the component output as tablet mold, so
there are some limitation as follows.
NumberInputElement
[7.0.3]
Fall back to use Desktop implementation for NumberInputElement with "format" and "locale" attributes in Tablet
mold.
[6.5.0]
In Tablet mold, all of the ZK components that extend from NumberInputElement cannot support format and locale
attributes, due to the output of the component which the input type is number.
Version History
Version Date Content
7.0.3 August, 2014 Fall back to use Desktop implementation for NumberInputElement with "format" and "locale" attributes in Tablet mold.
