Attribute details

adapterbinding

Special binding to component adapter object instance on server side. The component adapter must be an instance of IComponentAdapterBinding. For some components (e.g. FIXGRID) there is an extended interface (e.g. IFIXGRIDComponentAdapterBinding).

#{tobedefined}Binding to IComponentAdapter instance

animatechangeofsize

If set to true then changes of the width/height of the component are animated.

trueWith animation
falseWithout animation (default)

attributemacro

Name of macro that is used for generating certain attributes of this component. Please pay attention: the value of this attribute is read one time for each control and cannot be changed afterwards.

border

Defintion of border of control. Either defined as straight color value, with then having a border of 1 pixel. Or: an explicit per-side definition as comma separated list of border definition values.

#8080801 pixel border in color dark gray.
top:1;color:#808080top:1;color:#808080 : border only on top, 1 pixel height, color #808080
top:1;bottom:1;left:1;right:1;color:#FF0000top:1;bottom:1;left:1;right:1;color:#FF0000 : red border of 1 pixel size
top:1;bottom:1;left:1;right:1;color:#FF0000;dashing:5,2top:1;bottom:1;left:1;right:1;color:#FF0000 : red border of 1 pixel size, dashed with segments of 5 pixesl and 2 pixels; dashing only supported with FX Client!
noborderDefines that no border is painted - esp. in cases when empty borders are normally added (e.g. in grid cells)

bridgepage

Name of the page that is the bridge to the extenal framework. By default the page name is determined automatically, you may explicitly control if e.g. you want to use some older/newer version of the bridged framework.

 newest version (default)
/xxx/yyy.htmlBridge page name, starting with slash, relative to webcontent-directory.

codeeditorparams

codetype

Type of code that is edited in this component.

xmlXML text
javaJava code
javascriptJavascript code

colspan

Spanning of columns if used inside a COLSYNCHEDROW or inside a GRIDLAYOUTPANE.

1Control spans one column (default)
22 columns
33 columns

comment

Comment that can be asigned to any component. The comment is not operationally used.

Any textAny text

configinfo

Configuration information that is attached to this component. This information is not functionally used by CaptainCasa, but may be used for any application specific purpose.

enabled

Indicator if component is enabled or not.

trueComponent is enabled.
falseComponent is not enabled.

flush

Indicator if data changed in the component are transferred immediately to the server, causing a normal round trip processing from client to server.

trueFlush is done on data change.
falseNo flush. Data is transferred to server with next round trip.

flushtimer

Used in addition to FLUSH attribute. Defines the number of milliseconds after which the component automatically flushs to the server. You need to set FLUSH=true in addition.

 No flush timer (default)
10001000 milliseconds
20002000 milliseconds

height

Height of the control. Either defined as absolute value or as percentage value. Pay attention when using percentage sizing: the size refers to what is given from the components above. When using percentage sizing then you may define a minimum size in addition, by appending it with a semicolon: "100%;100" means: use 100%, but always keep a minimum size of 100. If using absolute sizes you may append a "+" to define, that the size is extended if required by the component. - Please note: the sizing may be completely taken over by the parent component (e.g. if a component is used in a grid cell), in this case the size definintions on this component level are obsolete.

100100 Pixels
120120 Pixels
200200 Pixels
50%50 percents
100%Full available height

rendered

Flag that indicated if this component is rendered at all. If set to false then the component is not rendered - there is no component data sent to the client.

trueComponent is rendered (default)
falseComponent is not rendered

rounding

Rounding radius of edges of border/background. This is optical rounding - so has nothing to do with mathematical rounding...

0Straight edges
5Rounding with radius 5
10Rounding with radius 10

rowspan

Spanning of rows if used inside a GRIDLAYOUTPANE.

1Control spans one row (default)
22 rows
33 rows

styleseq

Style class names that are applied to this component.

stylevariant

In CaptainCasa you can define styles definitions for components. A style definition is a definition of a set of default attribute values that are applied to the component. In case you want to differenciate between different usage types of the component you can apply multiple styles - and use the stylevariant attribute to select between.

text

Text that is shown and (dependent from the component type) edited inside the component. The terminator is a decimal byte value.

width

Width of the control. Either defined as absolute value or as percentage value. Pay attention when using percentage sizing: the size refers to what is given from the components above. When using percentage sizing then you may define a minimum size in addition, by appending it with a semicolon: "100%;100" means: use 100%, but always keep a minimum size of 100. If using absolute sizes you may append a "+" to define, that the size is extended if required by the component. - Please note: the sizing may be completely taken over by the parent component (e.g. if a component is used in a grid cell), in this case the size definintions on this component level are obsolete.
