Parameters

parameter DEFAULTGROUPCLASS = group;
Subclasses can set this to change default css class for a group.
parameter SYSMODULE = core;
Inherited description: If set, this indicates that this system component should be placed in the given "module". A module is a grouping of components within the same class package that share common include (js or css) files. Note that certain root classes are implicitly placed within the "core" module.
Classes outside of the Zen library should not set this, they should use the MODULE instead.

Properties

property children as list of component (XMLELEMENTREF = 1, XMLPROJECTION = "ELEMENT", XMLTYPECONSTRAINT = "CHOICE", ZENSETTING = 0);
Set of components within this group.
Property methods: childrenBuildValueArray(), childrenCollectionToDisplay(), childrenCollectionToOdbc(), childrenDisplayToCollection(), childrenGet(), childrenGetObject(), childrenGetObjectId(), childrenGetSwizzled(), childrenIsValid(), childrenOdbcToCollection(), childrenSet(), childrenSetObject(), childrenSetObjectId()
property disabled as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
If true, this group and its children are disabled.

Methods

final method %AddChild(pComponent As %ZEN.Component.object) as %Status
Add a child component pComponent to this group.
This is called when the server component tree is being created. This also adds pComponent to the page that this group belongs to; this group must be added to a page before adding any child components to it. In addition, the id property of the component must be set before calling this method.
final method %AddChildAfter(pComponent As %ZEN.Component.object, pSibling As %ZEN.Component.object = "") as %Status
Add a child component pComponent to this group immediately after component pSibling.
If pSibling is not a member of this group, this method will fail.
This is called when the server component tree is being created. This also adds pComponent to the page that this group belongs to; this group must be added to a page before adding any child components to it. In addition, the id property of the component must be set before calling this method.
final method %AddChildBefore(pComponent As %ZEN.Component.object, pSibling As %ZEN.Component.object = "") as %Status
Add a child component pComponent to this group immediately before component pSibling.
If pSibling is not a member of this group, this method will fail.
This is called when the server component tree is being created. This also adds pComponent to the page that this group belongs to; this group must be added to a page before adding any child components to it. In addition, the id property of the component must be set before calling this method.
method %GetChildIndex(pChild As %ZEN.Component.component) as %Integer
Server-only method: Look for the given child object within this group's set of children and return its 1-based index number.
Returns -1 if unable to find the child.
method %OnMutateChildren(pAdd As %Boolean) as %Boolean
Notification that children have been added or removed from this group.
method %RemoveChild(pComponent As %ZEN.Component.object) as %Boolean
Remove child component pComponent from this group. Returns true if the component was found and removed.
method %RemoveChildren(pDynamicOnly As %Boolean = 0)
Remove all children from this group. If pDynamicOnly is true, then only delete components whose dynamic is set to true.
clientmethod addChild(component, refresh) [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method.
Dynamically add a component to this group on the client.
If refresh is true, then refresh the contents of this group to show the new component.
clientmethod addChildAfter(component, sibling, refresh) [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method.
Dynamically add a component to this group on the client after component sibling.
If refresh is true, then refresh the contents of this group to show the new component.
clientmethod addChildBefore(component, sibling, refresh) [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method.
Dynamically add a component to this group on the client before component sibling.
If refresh is true, then refresh the contents of this group to show the new component.
abstract clientmethod childrenMutated() [ Language = javascript ]
Notification to subclasses that a child has been added or removed from this group.
clientmethod exposeComponent() [ Language = javascript ]
This manages the ondisplay event callback handling. The display event fires when the page is first displayed, when the component or its containing group is refreshed from the server, or when the component or its containing group is displayed via a programmatic 'show()' call. Note that setting the style.display value from JavaScript DOES NOT trigger this event. In general, application code should not modify or overload this method; instead, use the onDisplayHandler() to customize this processing.
clientmethod getChildIndex(child) [ Language = javascript ]
Look for the given child object within this group's set of children and return its 0-based index number.
Returns -1 if unable to find the child.
clientmethod onRefreshContents() [ Language = javascript ]
This client event, if present, is fired when the page is loaded.
abstract clientmethod ondisabledHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method that is called when a group's disabled state changes. This gives subclasses a chance to update their style when they are enabled/disabled.
clientmethod onloadHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
This client event, if present, is fired when the page is loaded.
clientmethod removeChild(component) [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method.
Dynamically remove a component from this group on the client.
clientmethod setOverlayMode(mode) [ Language = javascript ]
Set overlay mode for each child of this group.
clientmethod setProperty(property, value, value2) [ Language = javascript ]
Set the value of a named property.
Assume that subclasses that simply wrap HTML controls have named the control 'control' or else have overridden this method.
clientmethod setPropertyAll(property, value, value2) [ Language = javascript ]
Apply the given value to the specified property for this group and all of its children.
Note that this will not work for 'disabled'; for that use setProperty().
