Binding to server side method that processes the events coming from this component.
The attribute value must be an expression.
| #{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).
The attribute value must be an expression.
| #{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.
The attribute value must not be changed once the component is created.
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. |
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.
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
| left | Left (default) |
| center | Center |
| right | Right |
Spanning of columns if used inside a COLSYNCHEDROW or inside a GRIDLAYOUTPANE.
| 1 | Control spans one column (default) |
| 2 | 2 columns |
| 3 | 3 columns |
Comment that can be asigned to any component. The comment is not operationally used.
| Any text | Any text |
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.
In case the content of the component exceeds the available width and in case the width is defined as percentage value then the content by default will expand the width correspondingly. But, if defined as true, then the content will be cut.
| true | Cut content to fit into available width |
| false | Expand surrounding layout (default) |
Foreground 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. |
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 use an extended syntax: "xxx%;<min>;<max>": in this case the minimum and maximum definitions are respected. 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 |
| 100%;100 | Full available height, minimum 100 pixels |
| 100%;100;500 | Full available height, minimum 100 pixels, maximum 500 pixels |
| 100%;;500 | Full available height, maximum 500 pixels |
| byContent | No explicit height defined, height is defined by content |
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.
The attribute value must not be changed once the component is created.
| ref | One reference |
| ref1;ref2 | Two references |
| ref1;ref2;ref3 | Three references |
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.
The attribute value must be an expression.
| true | Component is rendered (default) |
| false | Component is not rendered |
Rounding radius of edges of border/background. This is optical rounding - so has nothing to do with mathematical rounding... The definition is either made for all corners - or as semicolon separated variant for each corner.
| 0 | Straight edges |
| 5 | Rounding with radius 5 |
| 10 | Rounding with radius 10 |
| 0;5;5;0 | indiviual per corner: left top, right top, right bottom, left bottom |
| 0;50%;5;2 | indiviual per corner: any mixing is allowed.. |
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.
| top | Top |
| center | Center (default) |
| bottom | Bottom |
Spanning of rows if used inside a GRIDLAYOUTPANE.
| 1 | Control spans one row (default) |
| 2 | 2 rows |
| 3 | 3 rows |
Shadow of component. The definition is done by several inner values: hoffset, voffset, blur and color.
| hoffset:5;voffset:5;blur:5;color:#C0C0C0 | full shadow definition |
| 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.
2 dimensional transformation that is applied to the component.
| no transformation (default) | |
| rotate(10deg) | Rotation by 10 degrees |
| rotate(-10deg) | Rotation by -10 degrees |
| skewX(-10deg) | Skew in horizontal direction by -10 degrees |
| skewY(10deg) | Skew in vertical direction by 10 degrees |
| skew(10deg,20deg) | Skew in both horizontal (10 degrees) and vertical (20 degrees) direction |
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 use an extended syntax: "xxx%;<min>;<max>": in this case the minimum and maximum definitions are respected. - 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 |
| 100%;100 | Full available width, minimum 100 pixels |
| 100%;100;500 | Full available width, minimum 100 pixels, maximum 500 pixels |
| 100%;;500 | Full available width, maximum 500 pixels |
| byContent | No explicit width defined, width is defined by content |
x-pixel-position: this attribute is only used if the component is directly placed into a PAINTAREA!
y-pixel-position: this attribute is only used if the component is directly placed into a PAINTAREA!
