PanelPlacement (Smart GWT EE API 14.0p (2026-01-20))

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<PanelPlacement>
- - com.smartgwt.client.types.PanelPlacement

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<PanelPlacement>
```
public enum PanelPlacement
extends java.lang.Enum<PanelPlacement>
implements ValueEnum
```
Possible placements for pop-up choosers, menus, dialogs or other temporary UIs, which may need to expand to take up additional room for smaller screens.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`FILLPANEL` fill the nearest containing panel managed by a device-aware layout such as `SplitPane`, which will generally be equivalent to "fillScreen" for a `handset-sized device`.
`FILLSCREEN` fill the entire screen
`HALFSCREEN` fill the bottom half of the screen.
`NEARORIGIN` classic placement for menus, pop-up lists and pickers in desktop interfaces: near the control that was clicked (a search field, `MenuButton`, etc).
`NONE` this setting disables all panelPlacement sizing and positioning logic.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - NEARORIGIN
```
public static final PanelPlacement NEARORIGIN
```
    classic placement for menus, pop-up lists and pickers in desktop interfaces: near the control that was clicked (a search field, MenuButton, etc). Note: this setting does not apply when there is no originating control (such as a dialog that appears due to session timeout), in which case centering will generally be used
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "nearOrigin".
  - FILLPANEL
```
public static final PanelPlacement FILLPANEL
```
    fill the nearest containing panel managed by a device-aware layout such as SplitPane, which will generally be equivalent to "fillScreen" for a handset-sized device. Note: this setting does not apply if there is no clear container for the component originating the UI, in which case, "fillScreen" will generally be used.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "fillPanel".
  - FILLSCREEN
```
public static final PanelPlacement FILLSCREEN
```
    fill the entire screen
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "fillScreen".
  - HALFSCREEN
```
public static final PanelPlacement HALFSCREEN
```
    fill the bottom half of the screen. This is the default behavior on iOS6/7 for plain HTML <select>, but note that native apps rarely use this interface for picking from lists and it is not generally recommended.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "halfScreen".
  - NONE
```
public static final PanelPlacement NONE
```
    this setting disables all panelPlacement sizing and positioning logic. Explicitly specified size and positioning will be used.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "none".
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static PanelPlacement[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (PanelPlacement c : PanelPlacement.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static PanelPlacement valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
