Bindings

Property onClick is mandatory, and you should define also a caption or image property.

Another properties

• It inherits the following properties from Control:
  • enabled, visible & background (bindables)
  • height / width (manually configured)
• And also inherits from Skinnable Control this properties:
  • fontSize, foreground, background
• onClick(Action): Action can be defined by an inline block closure, or instantiating it
• image(Image)
• setAsDefault: sets the button as the default action of the view (by pressing the Enter key)
• disableOnError: when the view gets an exception the button disables itself until the next event

Examples

If we have an edition window with an "Ok" button, it is a good practice to set as a default action and disable it if view has an error.

// Xtend
new Button(actionsPanel) => [
      caption = "Ok"
      setAsDefault
      onClick[ | convert ]
      enabled <=> "canConvert"
      disableOnError
]

// Java
new Button(actions)
    .setCaption("Ok")
    .onClick(this::convert)
    .setAsDefault()
    .disableOnError();

TO DO: Add a setImage() example for a button.

Bindings

Property onClick and caption are mandatory. You can define a caption

• static (hard-coded)
• or dynamic using bindCaptionToProperty message

Properties

• enabled, visible & background (bindables)
• height, width, fontSize, foreground, background (manually configured)

Example

// Xtend
new Link(mainPanel) => [
    caption = "Search"
    onClick [ | modelObject.search ]
]

// Java
new Link(mainPanel)
    .setCaption("Search")
    .onClick( () -> this.modelObject.search() );

Bindings

Property value is mandatory. When user clicks the button, a dialog is shown

Properties

• title: title of the dialog window
• caption: the button label
• path: folder to browse when the dialog is opened
• extensions: file extensions (optional)

Example

/ Xtend
new FileSelector(actions) => [
    caption = "Open"
    value <=> "documentationFile"
    extensions("*.example")
]

// Java
new FileSelector(actions)
    .setCaption("Open")
    .bindValueToProperty("documentationFile")
    .extensions("*.example");

Then you'll bind a path (String) to the documentationFile property of your view model.
