The COLORICON is an icon opening a standard dialog for defining a color.
It is similar to the COLORFIELD component - but does not allow the direct input of the color value via keyboard, and can be much nicer places into header areas.

Text that is passed as control content to the accessible support devices (e.g. screen readers).
Binding to server side method that processes the events coming from this component.
#{methodBinding} | Method binding |
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 |
If set to true then changes of the width/height of the component are animated.
true | With animation |
false | Without animation (default) |
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.
Background color of the component. Any RGB value can be chosen using format #rrggbb.
#FFFFFF | White |
#000000 | Black |
#FF0000 | Red |
#00FF00 | Green |
#0000FF | Blue |
#0000FF30 | Blue with a transparency of x30. |
Background paint commands. There is a sequence of paint commands which can be executed one after the other by listing them as semicolon separated list. - By appending certain suffixes to a command you can define that the command is only executed in a certain situation. Available suffixes are: _empty (content of component is empty), _focus, _nofocus, _enabled, _disabled, _mouseover. Multiple suffixes can be used in parallel (e.g. write_empty_focus).

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.
Defines if the component interprets a double-click as a second click. By default the component only sends one invoke event to the server, even if the user double-clicks the component. AS consequence, accidental double-processing on server side is avoiding. But: there may be situations in which you want to allow the user to press a button multiple times: in this case switch the value to true.
true | Double click leads to two server side events. |
false | (default) Double click leads to one server side event. |
If set to true then an event is triggered on server side when the user starts a drag operation. The event is of type BaseActionEventDragStarted.
false | No event triggered (default) |
true | Event triggered |

Explicit definition of tab sequence. The format of the definition is GROUP/SEQUENCENUMBER. You can define any number of tab-groups within one page. If the user tabs into a component with a FOCUSSEQUENCE definition then the next tab will focus the next component belonging to the same GROUP and holding the next SEQUENCENUMBER. - By default the FOCUSSEQUENCE value is prefixed with some page-id before being sent to the client so that definitions of one page do not affect definitions of another page. You can explicitly avoid this prefixing by using the naming convention ccfix_GROUP/SEQUENCENUMBER.
----- | ----- Examples ----- |
A/1 | Example: group A, sequence 1 |
A/2 | Example: group A, sequence 2 |
Foreground color of the component. Any RGB value can be chosen using format #rrggbb.

#FF0000 | Red |
#00FF00 | Green |
#0000FF | Blue |
#0000FF30 | Blue with a transparency of x30. |
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.
100 | 100 Pixels |
120 | 120 Pixels |
200 | 200 Pixels |
50% | 50 percents |
100% | Full available height |

Reference to the id of a POPUPMENU definition that is available either in this page or in a page that includes this page.
If set to true, then an explicit roundtrip is triggered when the user presses the right mouse button in order to open a popup menu. As result you can define the popup menu dynamically (using DYNAMICCONTENT) and prepare the popup menu at this point of time when the user want to open it.
false | Menu is already defined in layout, no roundtrip (default) |
true | Menu is dynamically created, roundtrip is triggered |
Reference to an outside object that is the content behind the component. E.g. a field is representing a certain field of a database table: in this case you could define the value table;column. The reference plays a siginficant role within the attributemacro management.
ref | One reference |

color:#C0C0C0 | Definition only via color, rest of values is set to default values |
Style class names that are applied to this component.
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 that is shown and (dependent from the component type) edited inside the component. The terminator is a decimal byte value.
Text that is shown as hint when the user stays with the mouse on top of the control for a while.
...anytext... | Text that is displayed as tooltip. |
server:true | Indicator that tooltip for the component is managed on server side. The actionListener will be invokde with events BaseActionEventTooltipStarted and BaseActionEventTooltipEnde. On server side you may implement some modeless popup in order to show some more complex tooltip |
server:true;opendelay:1000 | Duration in milliseconds after which a tooltip event is triggered when the user moves the mouse on top of this component |
Text that is shown as hint below the component. The text appears when the user steps into the component, i.e. when the component is focussed. It automatically disappears when the user steps into the next component. - Please note: the user hint is only activiated by the user if the component is focusable!
Trigger for showing the user hint. The user hint is shown in the same way as if the user focused the component.
Data value that is shown and (dependent from the component type) edited inside the component.
Positioning of text - in relation to image.

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.
100 | 100 Pixels |
120 | 120 Pixels |
200 | 200 Pixels |
50% | 50 percents |
100% | Full available width |
If set then corresponding focus events are triggered if the component gains/looses the focus.
false | (default) no focus events |
true | with focus events |
focusgained | with focus events but only for gaining the focus |
focuslost | with focus events but only for loosing the focus |
