Class CQ.wcm.Sidekick

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.

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).

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'
    }
}

A valid url spec according to the Updater CQ.Ext.Updater.update method. If autoLoad is not null, the panel will attempt to load its contents immediately upon render.

The URL will become the default URL for this panel's body element, so it may be refreshed at any time.

True if the component should check for hidden classes (e.g. 'x-hidden' or 'x-hide-display') and remove them on render (defaults to false).

The base CSS class to apply to this panel's element (defaults to 'x-panel').

Another option available by default is to specify 'x-plain' which strips all styling except for required attributes for Ext layouts to function (e.g. overflow:hidden). See unstyled also.

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

A DomHelper element specification object may be specified for any Panel Element.

By default, the Default element in the table below will be used for the html markup to create a child element with the commensurate Default class name (baseCls will be replaced by baseCls):

Panel      Default  Default             Custom      Additional       Additional
Element    element  class               element     class            style
========   ==========================   =========   ==============   ===========
header     div      baseCls+'-header'   headerCfg   headerCssClass   headerStyle
bwrap      div      baseCls+'-bwrap'     bwrapCfg    bwrapCssClass    bwrapStyle
+ tbar     div      baseCls+'-tbar'       tbarCfg     tbarCssClass     tbarStyle
+ body     div      baseCls+'-body'       bodyCfg     bodyCssClass     bodyStyle
+ bbar     div      baseCls+'-bbar'       bbarCfg     bbarCssClass     bbarStyle
+ footer   div      baseCls+'-footer'   footerCfg   footerCssClass   footerStyle

Configuring a Custom element may be used, for example, to force the body Element to use a different form of markup than is created by default. An example of this might be to create a child Panel containing a custom content, such as a header, or forcing centering of all Panel content by having the body be a <center> element:

new CQ.Ext.Panel({
    title: 'Message Title',
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    width: 200, height: 130,
    bodyCfg: {
        tag: 'center',
        cls: 'x-panel-body',  // Default class not applied if Custom element specified
        html: 'Message'
    },
    footerCfg: {
        tag: 'h2',
        cls: 'x-panel-footer',        // same as the Default class
        html: 'footer html'
    },
    footerCssClass: 'custom-footer', // additional css class, see addClass
    footerStyle:    'background-color:red' // see bodyStyle
});

The example above also explicitly creates a footer with custom markup and styling applied.

Custom CSS styles to be applied to the body element in the format expected by CQ.Ext.Element.applyStyles (defaults to null). See bodyCfg.

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

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

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

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

An array of events that, when fired, should be bubbled to any parent container. See CQ.Ext.util.Observable.enableBubble. Defaults to [].

The alignment of any buttons added to this panel. Valid values are 'right', 'left' and 'center' (defaults to 'right').

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

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.

Panels themselves do not directly support being closed, but some Panel subclasses do (like CQ.Ext.Window) or a Panel Class within an CQ.Ext.TabPanel. Specify true to enable closing in such situations. Defaults to false.

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).

True to constrain the window header within its containing element (allowing the window body to fall outside of its containing element) or false to allow the header to fall outside its containing element (defaults to false). Optionally the entire window can be constrained using constrain.

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 always expand the window when it is displayed, false to keep it in its current state (which may be collapsed) when displayed (defaults to true).

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 create the Panel's header element explicitly, false to skip creating it. If a title is set the header will be created automatically, otherwise it will not. If a title is set but header is explicitly set to false, the header will not be rendered.

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

true to hide the expand/collapse toggle button when collapsible == true, false to display it (defaults to false).

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.

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'
    }]
});

layout

A single item, or an array of child Components to be added to this container, for example:

// specifying a single item
items: {...},
layout: 'fit',    // specify a layout!

// specifying multiple items
items: [{...}, {...}],
layout: 'anchor', // specify a layout!

Each item may be:

Notes:

The separator to display after the text of each fieldLabel. This property may be configured at various levels. The order of precedence is:

To display no separator for this field's label specify empty string ''.

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(),
    layoutConfig: {
        labelSeparator: '~'   // layout config has lowest priority (defaults to ':')
    },
    labelSeparator: '>>',     // config at container level
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Field 1',
        labelSeparator: '...' // field/component level config supersedes others
    },{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Field 2' // labelSeparator will be '='
    }]
});

*Important: In order for child items to be correctly sized and positioned, typically a layout manager must be specified through the layout configuration option.

The sizing and positioning of child items is the responsibility of the Container's layout manager which creates and manages the type of layout you have in mind. For example:

new CQ.Ext.Window({
    width:300, height: 300,
    layout: 'fit', // explicitly set layout manager: override the default (layout:'auto')
    items: [{
        title: 'Panel inside a Window'
    }]
}).show();

If the layout configuration is not explicitly specified for a general purpose container (e.g. Container or Panel) the default layout manager will be used which does nothing but render child components sequentially into the Container (no sizing or positioning will be performed in this situation). Some container classes implicitly specify a default layout (e.g. FormPanel specifies layout:'form'). Other specific purpose classes internally specify/manage their internal layout (e.g. GridPanel, TabPanel, TreePanel, Toolbar, Menu, etc.).

layout may be specified as either as an Object or as a String:

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 mask the panel when it is disabled, false to not mask it (defaults to true). Either way, the panel will always tell its contained elements to disable themselves when it is disabled, but masking the panel can provide an additional visual cue that the panel is disabled.

True to display the 'maximize' tool button and allow the user to maximize the window, false to hide the button and disallow maximizing the window (defaults to false). Note that when a window is maximized, the tool button will automatically change to a 'restore' button with the appropriate behavior already built-in that will restore the window to its previous size.

Minimum width in pixels of all buttons in this panel (defaults to 75)

True to make the window modal and mask everything behind it when displayed, false to display it without restricting access to other UI elements (defaults to false).

Allows override of the built-in processing for the escape key. Default action is to close the Window (performing whatever action is specified in closeAction. To prevent the Window closing when the escape key is pressed, specify this as CQ.Ext.emptyFn (See CQ.Ext.emptyFn).

A shortcut for setting a padding style on the body element. The value can either be a number to be applied to all sides, or a normal css string describing padding. Defaults to undefined.

True to render the window body with a transparent background so that it will blend into the framing elements, false to add a lighter background color to visually highlight the body element and separate it more distinctly from the surrounding frame (defaults to false).

Defaults to false. When set to true, an extra css class 'x-panel-normal' will be added to the panel's element, effectively applying css styles suggested by the W3C (see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/sample.html) to the Panel's body element (not the header, footer, etc.).

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.

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.

A valid CQ.Ext.Resizable handles config string (defaults to 'all'). Only applies when resizable = true.

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

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'
            }
        })
    ]
});

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).

Overrides the baseCls setting to baseCls = 'x-plain' which renders the panel unstyled except for required attributes for Ext layouts to function (e.g. overflow:hidden).

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.
