public class Panel
extends XulElement
implements Framable

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.

Events:
onMove, onOpen, onZIndex, onMaximize, onMinimize, and onClose.

Default getZclass(): z-panel.

Constructor Detail

Panel

public Panel()
Method Detail

isOpen

public boolean isOpen()
Returns whether this Panel is open.

Default: true.


setOpen

public void setOpen(boolean open)
Opens or closes this Panel.


isFramable

public boolean isFramable()
Deprecated. As of release 5.0.6, replaced with getBorder(). Returns whether to render the panel with custom rounded borders.

Default: false.


setFramable

public void setFramable(boolean framable)
Deprecated. As of release 5.0.6, replaced with setBorder(java.lang.String). Sets whether to render the panel with custom rounded borders.

Default: false.


setMovable

public void setMovable(boolean movable)
Sets whether to move the panel to display it inline where it is rendered.

Default: false;

Note that this method only applied when isFloatable() is true.


isMovable

public boolean isMovable()
Returns whether to move the panel to display it inline where it is rendered.

Default: false.


isFloatable

public boolean isFloatable()
Returns whether to float the panel to display it inline where it is rendered.

Default: false.


setVisible

public boolean setVisible(boolean visible)
Specified by:
setVisible in interface org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component
Overrides:
setVisible in class org.zkoss.zk.ui.AbstractComponent

setFloatable

public void setFloatable(boolean floatable)
Sets whether to float the panel to display it inline where it is rendered.

Note that by default, setting floatable to true will cause the panel to display at default offsets, which depend on the offsets of the embedded panel from its element to document.body -- because the panel is absolute positioned, the position must be set explicitly by HtmlBasedComponent.setTop(String) and HtmlBasedComponent.setLeft(String). Also, when floatable a panel you should always assign a fixed width, otherwise it will be auto width and will expand to fill to the right edge of the viewport.


isMaximized

public boolean isMaximized()
Returns whether the panel is maximized.

Specified by:
isMaximized in interface Framable

setMaximized

public void setMaximized(boolean maximized)
Sets whether the panel is maximized, and then the size of the panel will depend on it to show a appropriate size. In other words, if true, the size of the panel will count on the size of its offset parent node whose position is absolute (by isFloatable()) or its parent node. Otherwise, its size will be original size. Note that the maximized effect will run at client's sizing phase not initial phase.

Default: false.

Throws:
org.zkoss.zk.ui.UiException - if isMaximizable() is false.

isMaximizable

public boolean isMaximizable()
Returns whether to display the maximizing button and allow the user to maximize the panel.

Default: false.

Specified by:
isMaximizable in interface Framable

setMaximizable

public void setMaximizable(boolean maximizable)
Sets whether to display the maximizing button and allow the user to maximize the panel, when a panel is maximized, the button will automatically change to a restore button with the appropriate behavior already built-in that will restore the panel to its previous size.

Default: false.

Note: the maximize button won't be displayed if no title or caption at all.


isMinimized

public boolean isMinimized()
Returns whether the panel is minimized.

Default: false.


setMinimized

public void setMinimized(boolean minimized)
Sets whether the panel is minimized.

Default: false.

Throws:
org.zkoss.zk.ui.UiException - if isMinimizable() is false.

isMinimizable

public boolean isMinimizable()
Returns whether to display the minimizing button and allow the user to minimize the panel.

Default: false.

Specified by:
isMinimizable in interface Framable

setMinimizable

public void setMinimizable(boolean minimizable)
Sets whether to display the minimizing button and allow the user to minimize the panel. Note that this button provides no implementation -- the behavior of minimizing a panel is implementation-specific, so the MinimizeEvent event must be handled and a custom minimize behavior implemented for this option to be useful.

Default: false.

Note: the maximize button won't be displayed if no title or caption at all.

See Also:
MinimizeEvent

isCollapsible

public boolean isCollapsible()
Returns whether to show a toggle button on the title bar.

Default: false.

Specified by:
isCollapsible in interface Framable

setCollapsible

public void setCollapsible(boolean collapsible)
Sets whether to show a toggle button on the title bar.

Default: false.

Note: the toggle button won't be displayed if no title or caption at all.

Note: onOpen event will be sent when you click the toggle button


isClosable

public boolean isClosable()
Returns whether to show a close button on the title bar.

Specified by:
isClosable in interface Framable

setClosable

public void setClosable(boolean closable)
Sets whether to show a close button on the title bar. If closable, a button is displayed and the onClose event is sent if an user clicks the button.

Default: false.

You can intercept the default behavior by either overriding onClose(), or listening the onClose event.

Note: the close button won't be displayed if no title or caption at all.


setMinheight

public void setMinheight(int minheight)

Default: 100.

Since:
5.0.0

setMinwidth
