Class CQ.form.DateTime

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.

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.

Optional. Specify an existing HTML element, or the id of an existing HTML element to use as the content for this component.

• Description :
  This config option is used to take an existing HTML element and place it in the layout element of a new component (it simply moves the specified DOM element after the Component is rendered to use as the content.
• Notes :
  The specified HTML element is appended to the layout element of the component after any configured HTML has been inserted, and so the document will not contain this element at the time the render event is fired.
  The specified HTML element used will not participate in any layout scheme that the Component may use. It is just HTML. Layouts operate on child items.
  Add either the x-hidden or the x-hide-display CSS class to prevent a brief flicker of the content before it is rendered to the panel.

The initial set of data to apply to the tpl to update the content area of the Component.

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).

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

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).

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.

The type attribute for input fields -- e.g. radio, text, password, file (defaults to 'text'). The types 'file' and 'password' must be used to render those field types currently -- there are no separate Ext components for those. Note that if you use inputType:'file', emptyText is not supported and should be avoided.

The error text to use when marking a field invalid and no message is provided (defaults to 'The value in this field is invalid')

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 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;'
    }]
});

Experimental The effect used when displaying a validation message under the field (defaults to 'normal').

The field's HTML name attribute (defaults to ''). Note: this property must be set if this field is to be automatically included with form submit().

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.

A path specification, relative to the Component's ownerCt specifying into which ancestor Container to place a named reference to this Component.

The ancestor axis can be traversed by using '/' characters in the path. For example, to put a reference to a Toolbar Button into the Panel which owns the Toolbar:

var myGrid = new CQ.Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel({
    title: 'My EditorGridPanel',
    store: myStore,
    colModel: myColModel,
    tbar: [{
        text: 'Save',
        handler: saveChanges,
        disabled: true,
        ref: '../saveButton'
    }],
    listeners: {
        afteredit: function() {
//          The button reference is in the GridPanel
            myGrid.saveButton.enable();
        }
    }
});

In the code above, if the ref had been 'saveButton' the reference would have been placed into the Toolbar. Each '/' in the ref moves up one level from the Component's ownerCt.

Also see the added and removed events.

Specify the id of the element, a DOM element or an existing Element that this component will be rendered into.

See render also.

The unique id for this component to use for state management purposes (defaults to the component id if one was set, otherwise null if the component is using a generated id).

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

A custom style specification to be applied to this component's Element. Should be a valid argument to CQ.Ext.Element.applyStyles.

new CQ.Ext.Panel({
    title: 'Some Title',
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    width: 400, height: 300,
    layout: 'form',
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textarea',
        style: {
            width: '95%',
            marginBottom: '10px'
        }
    },
        new CQ.Ext.Button({
            text: 'Send',
            minWidth: '100',
            style: {
                marginBottom: '10px'
            }
        })
    ]
});

The tabIndex for this field. Note this only applies to fields that are rendered, not those which are built via applyTo (defaults to undefined).

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.
