public class LinkItem
extends StaticTextItem

A form item that displays a URL. In the default read-only mode (canEdit is false) the URL is shown as a link; in editable mode the URL is shown in a textbox.

The link to open is specified as the item value with FormItem.setValue() or defaultValue. The link title defaults to the URL unless linkTitle is specified.

Additionally, a custom action can be triggered when the link is clicked: see target for details.

setDisableIconsOnReadOnly

public void setDisableIconsOnReadOnly(java.lang.Boolean disableIconsOnReadOnly)

This may also be specified at the icon level. See disableOnReadOnly.

Overrides:

setDisableIconsOnReadOnly in class FormItem

Parameters:

disableIconsOnReadOnly - Default value is false

getDisableIconsOnReadOnly

public java.lang.Boolean getDisableIconsOnReadOnly()

If canEdit is set to false, should icons be disabled by default?

This may also be specified at the icon level. See disableOnReadOnly.

Boolean

setIconVAlign

public void setIconVAlign(VerticalAlignment iconVAlign)

How should icons be aligned vertically for this form item.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Overrides:

setIconVAlign in class FormItem

Parameters:

iconVAlign - Default value is "center"

getIconVAlign

public VerticalAlignment getIconVAlign()

How should icons be aligned vertically for this form item.

Overrides:

getIconVAlign in class FormItem

Returns:

VerticalAlignment

setLinkTitle

public void setLinkTitle(java.lang.String linkTitle)

Optional title HTML to display for this item's link. If unset, the LinkItem's value (the URL) will be used for the link's title.

If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Setter for linkTitle.

Parameters:

linkTitle - new linkTitle HTML. See HTMLString . Default value is null

getLinkTitle

public java.lang.String getLinkTitle()

Optional title HTML to display for this item's link. If unset, the LinkItem's value (the URL) will be used for the link's title.

Returns:

See HTMLString

setReadOnlyDisplay

public void setReadOnlyDisplay(ReadOnlyDisplayAppearance readOnlyDisplay)

If canEdit is set to false, how should this LinkItem be displayed to the user?

Link items are, by default, canEdit:false. Note that the link remains active regardless of the readOnlyDisplay setting.

Overrides:

setReadOnlyDisplay in class FormItem

Parameters:

readOnlyDisplay - Default value is null

See Also:

DynamicForm.setReadOnlyDisplay(com.smartgwt.client.types.ReadOnlyDisplayAppearance)

getReadOnlyDisplay

public ReadOnlyDisplayAppearance getReadOnlyDisplay()

If canEdit is set to false, how should this LinkItem be displayed to the user?

Link items are, by default, canEdit:false. Note that the link remains active regardless of the readOnlyDisplay setting.

Overrides:

getReadOnlyDisplay in class FormItem

Returns:

ReadOnlyDisplayAppearance

See Also:

DynamicForm.getReadOnlyDisplay()

setTarget

public void setTarget(java.lang.String target)

By default, clicking a link rendered by this item opens it in a new browser window. You can alter this behavior by setting this property. The value of this property will be passed as the value to the target attribute of the anchor tag used to render the link.

If you set linkItem.target to "javascript", the default behaviour is to catch and consume mouse-clicks that would result in the link being followed. Instead, the FormItem.click() event is fired.

Parameters:

target - Default value is "_blank"

getTarget

public java.lang.String getTarget()

By default, clicking a link rendered by this item opens it in a new browser window. You can alter this behavior by setting this property. The value of this property will be passed as the value to the target attribute of the anchor tag used to render the link.

If you set linkItem.target to "javascript", the default behaviour is to catch and consume mouse-clicks that would result in the link being followed. Instead, the FormItem.click() event is fired.

Returns:

String

setDefaultProperties

public static void setDefaultProperties(LinkItem linkItemProperties)

Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

Parameters:

linkItemProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created

addClickHandler

public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addClickHandler(ClickHandler handler)

Description copied from class: FormItem

Add a click handler.

Called when this FormItem is clicked on.

Note: click() is available on StaticTextItem, BlurbItems, ButtonItem, and derivatives. Other form items (such as HiddenItem) do not support click().

Specified by:

addClickHandler in interface HasClickHandlers

Overrides:

addClickHandler in class FormItem

Parameters:

handler - the click handler

Returns:

HandlerRegistration used to remove this handler
