Component TEXTWITHLINKS

Overview

The component TEXTWITHLINKS shows some (HTML-) text which may contain special link definitions.

Each link has a certain id which is passed its href-definition. The component triggers an action if a links is pressed and passes the id of the link into the event that is passed to the application.

Attribute details

actionListener

Binding to server side method that processes the events coming from this component.

#{methodBinding}Method binding

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

align

Horizontal alignment of content.

leftleft (transferred into right when starting client in right to left mode)
left!left (still is left when starting client in right to left mode)
centercenter
rightright (transferred into left when starting client in right to left mode)
right!right! (still is right when starting client in right to left mode)
leadingleading
trailingtrailing

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.

avoidsanitizing

By default any HTML that is directly passed into the client processing is sanitized on client side. This means it is checked to not contain JavaScript and/or other injection. There are some situations in which you need to embed HTML without sanitizing - so in these situations you may switch off the sanizing by setting this attribute to true. Of course: PAY ATTENTION! Do not pass any untrusted content into client! You are now responsible for avoding e.g. JavaScript injection!

falseWith sanitzing (default)
trueNo sanititzing - HTML is processed as is.

background

Background color of the component. Any RGB value can be chosen using format #rrggbb.

#FFFFFFWhite
#000000Black
#FF0000Red
#00FF00Green
#0000FFBlue
#0000FF30Blue with a transparency of x30.

baseurl

Base URL of the document.

 (default) root of webapp (same as /)
/root of webapp
/imagesdirectory images in webapp
/..directory above webapp

bgpaint

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).

noborderDefines that no border is painted - esp. in cases when empty borders are normally added (e.g. in grid cells)

clientname

Name that is assigned to the component at client side: there is no specific function associated with the name - but it can be used on client side to describe the component in a clearer way. The name is e.g. used by UI test tools that replay certain user interaction sequences - and that reference components via their name.

colalignmentx

In case the space provided by the container (e.g. gridlayoutcontainer) for the component is wider than the component itself: definition where to place the component

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.

dragroundtrip

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.

falseNo event triggered (default)
trueEvent triggered

dragsend

#00FF00Green
#0000FFBlue
#0000FF30Blue with a transparency of x30.

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

helpid

Help id that is part of the online help management.

helpidId pointing to a server side online help file.
ccnof1helpExplicitly switching off default F1 help. This is sometimes required in case you want to explicitly react on F1-key as hotkey.

invokeevent

Client side event that triggers a server invoke.

clickMouse click (both mouse buttons)
leftclickMouse click (left mouse button)
rightclickMouse click (right mouse button)

popupmenu

Reference to the id of a POPUPMENU definition that is available either in this page or in a page that includes this page.

popupmenuloadroundtrip

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.

falseMenu is already defined in layout, no roundtrip (default)
trueMenu is dynamically created, roundtrip is triggered

reference

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.

refOne reference
ref1;ref2Two references
ref1;ref2;ref3Three references

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

rowalignmenty

If more than one component is arranged within one row, then components need to decide how they want to be aligned vertically inside the row - in case the height of the row exceeds the height of the component itself.

centerCenter (default)
bottomBottom

rowspan

Spanning of rows if used inside a GRIDLAYOUTPANE.

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

shadow

Shadow of component. The definition is done by several inner values: hoffset, voffset, blur and color.

color:#C0C0C0Definition only via color, rest of values is set to default values

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.

tooltip

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:trueIndicator 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:1000Duration in milliseconds after which a tooltip event is triggered when the user moves the mouse on top of this component

userhint

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!

userhinttrigger

Trigger for showing the user hint. The user hint is shown in the same way as if the user focused the component.

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.
