Class CQ.Ext.menu.Menu

A string component id or the numeric index of the component that should be initially activated within the container's layout on render. For example, activeItem: 'item-1' or activeItem: 0 (index 0 = the first item in the container's collection). activeItem only applies to layout styles that can display items one at a time (like CQ.Ext.layout.AccordionLayout, CQ.Ext.layout.CardLayout and CQ.Ext.layout.FitLayout). Related to CQ.Ext.layout.ContainerLayout.activeItem.

Specify the id of the element, a DOM element or an existing Element corresponding to a DIV that is already present in the document that specifies some structural markup for this component.

A tag name or DomHelper spec used to create the Element which will encapsulate this Component.

You do not normally need to specify this. For the base classes CQ.Ext.Component, CQ.Ext.BoxComponent, and CQ.Ext.Container, this defaults to 'div'. The more complex Ext classes use a more complex DOM structure created by their own onRender methods.

This is intended to allow the developer to create application-specific utility Components encapsulated by different DOM elements. Example usage:

{
    xtype: 'box',
    autoEl: {
        tag: 'img',
        src: 'http://www.example.com/example.jpg'
    }
}, {
    xtype: 'box',
    autoEl: {
        tag: 'blockquote',
        html: 'autoEl is cool!'
    }
}, {
    xtype: 'container',
    autoEl: 'ul',
    cls: 'ux-unordered-list',
    items: {
        xtype: 'box',
        autoEl: 'li',
        html: 'First list item'
    }
}

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 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.

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.

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'.

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).

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).

Render this component hidden (default is false). If true, the hide method will be called internally.

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
    }]
});

True to hide and show the component's container when hide/show is called on the component, false to hide and show the component itself (defaults to false). For example, this can be used as a shortcut for a hide button on a window by setting hide:true on the button when adding it to its parent container.

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.

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').

An additional CSS class to apply to the div wrapping the form item element of this field. If supplied, itemCls at the field level will override the default itemCls supplied at the container level. The value specified for itemCls will be added to the default class ('x-form-item').

Since it is applied to the item wrapper (see CQ.Ext.layout.FormLayout.fieldTpl), it allows you to write standard CSS rules that can apply to the field, the label (if specified), or any other element within the markup for the field.

Note: see the note for fieldLabel.

Example use:

// Apply a style to the field's label:
<style>
    .required .x-form-item-label {font-weight:bold;color:red;}
</style>

new CQ.Ext.FormPanel({
    height: 100,
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Name',
        itemCls: 'required' //this label will be styled
    },{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Favorite Color'
    }]
});

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;'
    }]
});

This is a config object containing properties specific to the chosen layout if layout has been specified as a string.

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.

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'.

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.

An CQ.Ext.Template, CQ.Ext.XTemplate or an array of strings to form an CQ.Ext.XTemplate. Used in conjunction with the data and tplWriteMode configurations.

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.
