Methods

final method %DrawComponentHTML(pStyle As %String = "")
Draw enclosing div element and then draw contents within it.
final method %EnclosingDivId()
Compute the HTML id value used for an enclosing div. Use component id for enclosing div; if not defined use zen#, where # is the index number.
method %OnDrawEnclosingDiv() as %String
This callback, if defined, makes it possible for a subclass to inject additional attributes into the enclosing div element for a component. If implemented, this method should return a string with a leading space to avoid conflict with other attributes.
abstract clientmethod dragFinishHandler(dragData) [ Language = javascript ]
This is called when a drag operation started within this component is completed.
This method is implemented by subclasses.
final clientmethod dragHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
This is called by the layout manager when a drag-and-drop operation starts on this component.
final clientmethod dragNotifyHandler(dragData) [ Language = javascript ]
This is called by the layout manager when a drag operation that started on this component is completed (that is, after the target component finished processing the drop).
abstract clientmethod dragStartHandler(dragData) [ Language = javascript ]
This is called when a drag operation is started within this component.
This method is implemented by subclasses.
final clientmethod dropHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
This is called by the layout manager when a drag-and-drop operation ends on this component.
abstract clientmethod dropStartHandler(dragData) [ Language = javascript ]
This is called when a data drop operation is started within this component.
This method is implemented by subclasses.
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.
final clientmethod getEnclosingDiv() [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method returns the div element that encloses this component.
clientmethod getHidden() as %String [ Language = javascript ]
Return whether this component is hidden.
final clientmethod getHintElement() [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method returns the HTML element that displays the hint for this component (if any).
final clientmethod getLabelElement() [ Language = javascript ]
Client-side method returns the HTML element that displays the label for this component (if any).
abstract clientmethod onDisplayHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
This client callback is called from exposeComponent after the element has been displayed on the screen. This ia a synthetic event that 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
abstract clientmethod onEndModalHandler(zindex) [ Language = javascript ]
Notification that this component is about to stop being modal.
abstract clientmethod onPopupAction(popupName, action, value) [ Language = javascript ]
This client event, if present, is fired when a popup page has specified this component as its parent and fires an action.
popupName is the name of the popup window sending the action.
action is the name of the action.
value is the value associated with the action.
abstract clientmethod onRefreshContents() [ Language = javascript ]
This client callback is called just from refreshContents just after the new HTML is delivered from the server.
abstract clientmethod onStartModalHandler(zindex) [ Language = javascript ]
Notification that this component is about to become modal. zindex is zindex value to use to make sure component is placed above system-provided div element.
final clientmethod refreshContents(sync) [ Language = javascript ]
This method, called from a client page, invokes this component's %DrawHTML(), converts its output to a JavaScript string and replaces the component's enclosing div with this new HTML. This is useful for components that need to refresh their contents from the server after being rendered.
Internally, this refresh can occur immediately or be deferred as specified by the zenRefreshMode flag.
If sync is defined and is true, the refresh will be executed synchronously (unless we are in deferred mode).
clientmethod setHidden(flag) [ Language = javascript ]
If flag is true, hide this component otherwise make it visible. If present, invoke onshow or onhide callbacks.
clientmethod setOverlayMode(mode) [ Language = javascript ]
Expirimental: do not use.
Set the overlay mode for this component.
(An overlay is a transparent div placed atop a component for the purpose of capturing events; it is used by the ZEN Page editing utilities.)
mode is the overlay mode:
0: turn off overlay.
1: turn on overlay.
2: turn on overlay, show indication that this component is selected.
clientmethod setProperty(property, value, value2) [ Language = javascript ]
Set the value of a named property.
clientmethod startProgressBar(div) [ Language = javascript ]
Start the display of a progress bar within display area for this component.
Typically this is used by components that refresh their contents from the server (such as tablePane).
div, if defined, is div element that will contain the progress bar.
clientmethod stopProgressBar() [ Language = javascript ]
Stop the timer used by the Progress bar.
