Class CQ.Ext.form.FormPanel

true to animate the transition when the panel is collapsed, false to skip the animation (defaults to true if the CQ.Ext.Fx class is available, otherwise false).

If true the container will automatically destroy any contained component that is removed from it, else destruction must be handled manually (defaults to true).

True to use height:'auto', false to use fixed height (or allow it to be managed by its parent Container's layout manager. Defaults to false.

Note: Although many components inherit this config option, not all will function as expected with a height of 'auto'. Setting autoHeight:true means that the browser will manage height based on the element's contents, and that Ext will not manage it at all.

If the browser is managing the height, be aware that resizes performed by the browser in response to changes within the structure of the Component cannot be detected. Therefore changes to the height might result in elements needing to be synchronized with the new height. Example:

var w = new CQ.Ext.Window({
    title: 'Window',
    width: 600,
    autoHeight: true,
    items: {
        title: 'Collapse Me',
        height: 400,
        collapsible: true,
        border: false,
        listeners: {
            beforecollapse: function() {
                w.el.shadow.hide();
            },
            beforeexpand: function() {
                w.el.shadow.hide();
            },
            collapse: function() {
                w.syncShadow();
            },
            expand: function() {
                w.syncShadow();
            }
        }
    }
}).show();

true to use overflow:'auto' on the components layout element and show scroll bars automatically when necessary, false to clip any overflowing content (defaults to false).

True to use width:'auto', false to use fixed width (or allow it to be managed by its parent Container's layout manager. Defaults to false.

Note: Although many components inherit this config option, not all will function as expected with a width of 'auto'. Setting autoWidth:true means that the browser will manage width based on the element's contents, and that Ext will not manage it at all.

If the browser is managing the width, be aware that resizes performed by the browser in response to changes within the structure of the Component cannot be detected. Therefore changes to the width might result in elements needing to be synchronized with the new width. For example, where the target element is:

<div id='grid-container' style='margin-left:25%;width:50%'></div>

A Panel rendered into that target element must listen for browser window resize in order to relay its child items when the browser changes its width:

var myPanel = new CQ.Ext.Panel({
    renderTo: 'grid-container',
    monitorResize: true, // relay on browser resize
    title: 'Panel',
    height: 400,
    autoWidth: true,
    layout: 'hbox',
    layoutConfig: {
        align: 'stretch'
    },
    defaults: {
        flex: 1
    },
    items: [{
        title: 'Box 1',
    }, {
        title: 'Box 2'
    }, {
        title: 'Box 3'
    }],
});

The bottom toolbar of the panel. This can be a CQ.Ext.Toolbar object, a toolbar config, or an array of buttons/button configs to be added to the toolbar. Note that this is not available as a property after render. To access the bottom toolbar after render, use getBottomToolbar.

Note: Although a Toolbar may contain Field components, these will not be updated by a load of an ancestor FormPanel. A Panel's toolbars are not part of the standard Container->Component hierarchy, and so are not scanned to collect form items. However, the values will be submitted because form submission parameters are collected from the DOM tree.

True to display an interior border on the body element of the panel, false to hide it (defaults to true). This only applies when border == true. If border == true and bodyBorder == false, the border will display as a 1px wide inset border, giving the entire body element an inset appearance.

Additional css class selector to be applied to the body element in the format expected by CQ.Ext.Element.addClass (defaults to null). See bodyCfg.

True to display the borders of the panel's body element, false to hide them (defaults to true). By default, the border is a 2px wide inset border, but this can be further altered by setting bodyBorder to false.

The maximum value in pixels which this BoxComponent will set its width to.

Warning: This will override any size management applied by layout managers.

The minimum value in pixels which this BoxComponent will set its width to.

Warning: This will override any size management applied by layout managers.

When set to true (50 milliseconds) or a number of milliseconds, the layout assigned for this container will buffer the frequency it calculates and does a re-layout of components. This is useful for heavy containers or containers with a large quantity of sub-components for which frequent layout calls would be expensive. Defaults to 50.

The CSS class used to to apply to the special clearing div rendered directly after each form field wrapper to provide field clearing (defaults to 'x-form-clear-left').

Note: this config is only used when this Component is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the FormLayout layout manager (e.g. CQ.Ext.form.FormPanel or specifying layout:'form') and either a fieldLabel is specified or isFormField=true is specified.

See CQ.Ext.layout.FormLayout.fieldTpl also.

An optional extra CSS class that will be added to this component's Element (defaults to ''). This can be useful for adding customized styles to the component or any of its children using standard CSS rules.

true to render the panel collapsed, false to render it expanded (defaults to false).

True to make the panel collapsible and have the expand/collapse toggle button automatically rendered into the header tool button area, false to keep the panel statically sized with no button (defaults to false).

An optional extra CSS class that will be added to this component's container. This can be useful for adding customized styles to the container or any of its children using standard CSS rules. See CQ.Ext.layout.ContainerLayout.extraCls also.

Note: ctCls defaults to '' except for the following class which assigns a value by default:

To configure the above Class with an extra CSS class append to the default. For example, for BoxLayout (Hbox and Vbox):

ctCls: 'x-box-layout-ct custom-class'

The default xtype of child Components to create in this Container when a child item is specified as a raw configuration object, rather than as an instantiated Component.

Defaults to 'panel', except CQ.Ext.menu.Menu which defaults to 'menuitem', and CQ.Ext.Toolbar and CQ.Ext.ButtonGroup which default to 'button'.

true to enable dragging of this Panel (defaults to false).

For custom drag/drop implementations, an CQ.Ext.Panel.DD config could also be passed in this config instead of true. CQ.Ext.Panel.DD is an internal, undocumented class which moves a proxy Element around in place of the Panel's element, but provides no other behaviour during dragging or on drop. It is a subclass of CQ.Ext.dd.DragSource, so behaviour may be added by implementing the interface methods of CQ.Ext.dd.DragDrop e.g.:

new CQ.Ext.Panel({
    title: 'Drag me',
    x: 100,
    y: 100,
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    floating: true,
    frame: true,
    width: 400,
    height: 200,
    draggable: {
//      Config option of CQ.Ext.Panel.DD class.
//      It's a floating Panel, so do not show a placeholder proxy in the original position.
        insertProxy: false,

//      Called for each mousemove event while dragging the DD object.
        onDrag : function(e){
//          Record the x,y position of the drag proxy so that we can
//          position the Panel at end of drag.
            var pel = this.proxy.getEl();
            this.x = pel.getLeft(true);
            this.y = pel.getTop(true);

//          Keep the Shadow aligned if there is one.
            var s = this.panel.getEl().shadow;
            if (s) {
                s.realign(this.x, this.y, pel.getWidth(), pel.getHeight());
            }
        },

//      Called on the mouseup event.
        endDrag : function(e){
            this.panel.setPosition(this.x, this.y);
        }
    }
}).show();

A Toolbar object, a Toolbar config, or an array of Buttons/Button configs, describing a Toolbar to be rendered into this Panel's footer element.

After render, the fbar property will be an Toolbar instance.

If buttons are specified, they will supersede the fbar configuration property.

The Panel's buttonAlign configuration affects the layout of these items, for example:

var w = new CQ.Ext.Window({
    height: 250,
    width: 500,
    bbar: new CQ.Ext.Toolbar({
        items: [{
            text: 'bbar Left'
        },'->',{
            text: 'bbar Right'
        }]
    }),
    buttonAlign: 'left', // anything but 'center' or 'right' and you can use '-', and '->'
                                  // to control the alignment of fbar items
    fbar: [{
        text: 'fbar Left'
    },'->',{
        text: 'fbar Right'
    }]
}).show();

Note: Although a Toolbar may contain Field components, these will not be updated by a load of an ancestor FormPanel. A Panel's toolbars are not part of the standard Container->Component hierarchy, and so are not scanned to collect form items. However, the values will be submitted because form submission parameters are collected from the DOM tree.

The label text to display next to this Component (defaults to '').

Note: this config is only used when this Component is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the FormLayout layout manager (e.g. CQ.Ext.form.FormPanel or specifying layout:'form').

Also see hideLabel and CQ.Ext.layout.FormLayout.fieldTpl.

Example use:

new CQ.Ext.FormPanel({
    height: 100,
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Name'
    }]
});

Note: this config is only used when this Component is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use a BoxLayout. Each child Component with a flex property will be flexed either vertically (by a VBoxLayout) or horizontally (by an HBoxLayout) according to the item's relative flex value compared to the sum of all Components with flex value specified. Any child items that have either a flex = 0 or flex = undefined will not be 'flexed' (the initial size will not be changed).

true to create the footer element explicitly, false to skip creating it. The footer will be created automatically if buttons or a fbar have been configured. See bodyCfg for an example.

If true the container will force a layout initially even if hidden or collapsed. This option is useful for forcing forms to render in collapsed or hidden containers. (defaults to false).

false by default to render with plain 1px square borders. true to render with 9 elements, complete with custom rounded corners (also see CQ.Ext.Element.boxWrap).

The template generated for each condition is depicted below:

// frame = false
<div id="developer-specified-id-goes-here" class="x-panel">

    <div class="x-panel-header"><span class="x-panel-header-text">Title: (frame:false)</span></div>

    <div class="x-panel-bwrap">
        <div class="x-panel-body"><p>html value goes here</p></div>
    </div>
</div>

// frame = true (create 9 elements)
<div id="developer-specified-id-goes-here" class="x-panel">
    <div class="x-panel-tl"><div class="x-panel-tr"><div class="x-panel-tc">
        <div class="x-panel-header"><span class="x-panel-header-text">Title: (frame:true)</span></div>
    </div></div></div>

    <div class="x-panel-bwrap">
        <div class="x-panel-ml"><div class="x-panel-mr"><div class="x-panel-mc">
            <div class="x-panel-body"><p>html value goes here</p></div>
        </div></div></div>

        <div class="x-panel-bl"><div class="x-panel-br"><div class="x-panel-bc"/>
        </div></div></div>
</div>

true to display the panel title in the header, false to hide it (defaults to true).

The height of this component in pixels (defaults to auto). Note to express this dimension as a percentage or offset see anchor.

True to hide the borders of each contained component, false to defer to the component's existing border settings (defaults to false).

true to completely hide the label element (label and separator). Defaults to false. By default, even if you do not specify a fieldLabel the space will still be reserved so that the field will line up with other fields that do have labels. Setting this to true will cause the field to not reserve that space.

Note: see the note for clearCls.

Example use:

new CQ.Ext.FormPanel({
    height: 100,
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield'
        hideLabel: true
    }]
});

How this component should be hidden. Supported values are 'visibility' (css visibility), 'offsets' (negative offset position) and 'display' (css display).

Note: the default of 'display' is generally preferred since items are automatically laid out when they are first shown (no sizing is done while hidden).

An HTML fragment, or a DomHelper specification to use as the layout element content (defaults to ''). The HTML content is added after the component is rendered, so the document will not contain this HTML at the time the render event is fired. This content is inserted into the body before any configured contentEl is appended.

The unique id of this component (defaults to an auto-assigned id). You should assign an id if you need to be able to access the component later and you do not have an object reference available (e.g., using CQ.getCmp).

Note that this id will also be used as the element id for the containing HTML element that is rendered to the page for this component. This allows you to write id-based CSS rules to style the specific instance of this component uniquely, and also to select sub-elements using this component's id as the parent.

Note: to avoid complications imposed by a unique id also see itemId and ref.

Note: to access the container of an item see ownerCt.

An itemId can be used as an alternative way to get a reference to a component when no object reference is available. Instead of using an id with CQ.getCmp, use itemId with CQ.Ext.Container.getComponent which will retrieve itemId's or id's. Since itemId's are an index to the container's internal MixedCollection, the itemId is scoped locally to the container -- avoiding potential conflicts with CQ.Ext.ComponentMgr which requires a unique id.

var c = new CQ.Ext.Panel({ //
    height: 300,
    renderTo: document.body,
    layout: 'auto',
    items: [
        {
            itemId: 'p1',
            title: 'Panel 1',
            height: 150
        },
        {
            itemId: 'p2',
            title: 'Panel 2',
            height: 150
        }
    ]
})
p1 = c.getComponent('p1'); // not the same as CQ.Ext.getCmp()
p2 = p1.ownerCt.getComponent('p2'); // reference via a sibling

Also see id and ref.

Note: to access the container of an item see ownerCt.

A CQ.Ext.KeyMap config object (in the format expected by CQ.Ext.KeyMap.addBinding used to assign custom key handling to this panel (defaults to null).

A CSS style specification string to apply directly to this field's label. Defaults to the container's labelStyle value if set (e.g., CQ.Ext.layout.FormLayout.labelStyle , or '').

Note: see the note for clearCls.

Also see hideLabel and CQ.Ext.layout.FormLayout.fieldTpl.

Example use:

new CQ.Ext.FormPanel({
    height: 100,
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Name',
        labelStyle: 'font-weight:bold;'
    }]
});

Note: this config is only used when this BoxComponent is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the BorderLayout or one of the two BoxLayout subclasses.

An object containing margins to apply to this BoxComponent in the format:

{
    top: (top margin),
    right: (right margin),
    bottom: (bottom margin),
    left: (left margin)
}

May also be a string containing space-separated, numeric margin values. The order of the sides associated with each value matches the way CSS processes margin values:

Defaults to:

{top:0, right:0, bottom:0, left:0}

True to automatically monitor window resize events to handle anything that is sensitive to the current size of the viewport. This value is typically managed by the chosen layout and should not need to be set manually.

An optional extra CSS class that will be added to this component's Element when the mouse moves over the Element, and removed when the mouse moves out. (defaults to ''). This can be useful for adding customized 'active' or 'hover' styles to the component or any of its children using standard CSS rules.

An object or array of objects that will provide custom functionality for this component. The only requirement for a valid plugin is that it contain an init method that accepts a reference of type CQ.Ext.Component. When a component is created, if any plugins are available, the component will call the init method on each plugin, passing a reference to itself. Each plugin can then call methods or respond to events on the component as needed to provide its functionality.

The registered ptype to create. This config option is not used when passing a config object into a constructor. This config option is used only when lazy instantiation is being used, and a Plugin is being specified not as a fully instantiated Component, but as a Component config object. The ptype will be looked up at render time up to determine what type of Plugin to create.

If you create your own Plugins, you may register them using CQ.Ext.ComponentMgr.registerPlugin in order to be able to take advantage of lazy instantiation and rendering.

Note: this config is only used when this BoxComponent is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the BorderLayout layout manager (e.g. specifying layout:'border').

See CQ.Ext.layout.BorderLayout also.

The event to listen to for resizing in layouts. Defaults to 'resize'.

The number of pixels to offset the shadow if displayed (defaults to 4). Note that this option only applies when floating = true.

An array of events that, when fired, should trigger this component to save its state (defaults to none). stateEvents may be any type of event supported by this component, including browser or custom events (e.g., ['click', 'customerchange']).

See stateful for an explanation of saving and restoring Component state.

A flag which causes the Component to attempt to restore the state of internal properties from a saved state on startup. The component must have either a stateId or id assigned for state to be managed. Auto-generated ids are not guaranteed to be stable across page loads and cannot be relied upon to save and restore the same state for a component.

For state saving to work, the state manager's provider must have been set to an implementation of CQ.Ext.state.Provider which overrides the set and get methods to save and recall name/value pairs. A built-in implementation, CQ.Ext.state.CookieProvider is available.

To set the state provider for the current page:

CQ.Ext.state.Manager.setProvider(new CQ.Ext.state.CookieProvider({
    expires: new Date(new Date().getTime()+(1000*60*60*24*7)), //7 days from now
}));

A stateful Component attempts to save state when one of the events listed in the stateEvents configuration fires.

To save state, a stateful Component first serializes its state by calling getState. By default, this function does nothing. The developer must provide an implementation which returns an object hash which represents the Component's restorable state.

The value yielded by getState is passed to CQ.Ext.state.Manager.set which uses the configured CQ.Ext.state.Provider to save the object keyed by the Component's stateId, or, if that is not specified, its id.

During construction, a stateful Component attempts to restore its state by calling CQ.Ext.state.Manager.get passing the stateId, or, if that is not specified, the id.

The resulting object is passed to applyState. The default implementation of applyState simply copies properties into the object, but a developer may override this to support more behaviour.

You can perform extra processing on state save and restore by attaching handlers to the beforestaterestore, staterestore, beforestatesave and statesave events.

Note: this config is only used when this BoxComponent is a child item of a TabPanel.

A string to be used as innerHTML (html tags are accepted) to show in a tooltip when mousing over the associated tab selector element. CQ.Ext.QuickTips.init() must be called in order for the tips to render.

A DomHelper element specification object specifying the element structure of this Panel's tbar Element. See bodyCfg also.

true to allow expanding and collapsing the panel (when collapsible = true) by clicking anywhere in the header bar, false) to allow it only by clicking to tool button (defaults to false)). If this panel is a child item of a border layout also see the BorderLayout.Region floatable config option.

An array of tool button configs to be added to the header tool area. When rendered, each tool is stored as an Element referenced by a public property called tools.<tool-type>

Each tool config may contain the following properties:

Note that, apart from the toggle tool which is provided when a panel is collapsible, these tools only provide the visual button. Any required functionality must be provided by adding handlers that implement the necessary behavior.

Example usage:

tools:[{
    id:'refresh',
    qtip: 'Refresh form Data',
    // hidden:true,
    handler: function(event, toolEl, panel){
        // refresh logic
    }
},
{
    id:'help',
    qtip: 'Get Help',
    handler: function(event, toolEl, panel){
        // whatever
    }
}]

For the custom id of 'help' define two relevant css classes with a link to a 15x15 image:

.x-tool-help {background-image: url(images/help.png);}
.x-tool-help-over {background-image: url(images/help_over.png);}
// if using an image sprite:
.x-tool-help {background-image: url(images/help.png) no-repeat 0 0;}
.x-tool-help-over {background-position:-15px 0;}

The CQ.Ext.(X)Template method to use when updating the content area of the Component. Defaults to 'overwrite' (see CQ.Ext.XTemplate.overwrite).

The width of this component in pixels (defaults to auto). Note to express this dimension as a percentage or offset see anchor.

The registered xtype to create. This config option is not used when passing a config object into a constructor. This config option is used only when lazy instantiation is being used, and a child item of a Container is being specified not as a fully instantiated Component, but as a Component config object. The xtype will be looked up at render time up to determine what type of child Component to create.

The predefined xtypes are listed here.

If you subclass Components to create your own Components, you may register them using CQ.Ext.ComponentMgr.registerType in order to be able to take advantage of lazy instantiation and rendering.
