Overview

The OUTLOOKBAR component is a vertical arrangement of button items around some content.

The component may reference to an integer value (attribute VALUE) on server side which represents the currently selected item.

Attribute details

actionListener

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

The attribute value must be an expression.

#{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).

The attribute value must be an expression.

#{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.

The attribute value must not be changed once the component is created.

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

leftLeft (default)
centerCenter
rightRight

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.

cutheight

In case the content of the component exceeds the available height and in case the height is defined as percentage value then the content by default will expand the height correspondingly. But, if defined as true, then the content will be cut.

trueCut content to fit into available height
falseExpand surrounding layout (default)

cutwidth

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.

trueCut content to fit into available width
falseExpand surrounding layout (default)

font

Semicolon separated list of font attributes. Valid attributes are: faces (font family), size (integer number), weight (bold), posture (italic)

Foreground color of unselected tabs.

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

#FF0000Red
#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 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.

100100 pixels
120120 pixels
200200 pixels
50%50 percents
100%Full available height
100%;100Full available height, minimum 100 pixels
100%;100;500Full available height, minimum 100 pixels, maximum 500 pixels
100%;;500Full available height, maximum 500 pixels

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.

The attribute value must not be changed once the component is created.

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.

The attribute value must be an expression.

trueComponent is rendered (default)
falseComponent is not rendered

reselectable

Decides what happens when the user clicks a line which is already selected. By default no further selection event is sent to the server side processing. You can override by specifying true.

trueReselection is enabled
falseNo reselection (default)

rounding

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.

0Straight edges
5Rounding with radius 5
10Rounding with radius 10
0;5;5;0indiviual per corner: left top, right top, right bottom, left bottom
0;50%;5;2indiviual per corner: any mixing is allowed..

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.

topTop
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.

hoffset:5;voffset:5;blur:5;color:#C0C0C0full shadow definition
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.

transform

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

value

Data value that is shown and (dependent from the component type) edited inside 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 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.
