Detailed Description

A widget that holds and manages child widgets.

A WContainerWidget acts as a container for child widgets. Child widgets may be added directly to the container or using a layout manager.

Use addWidget() or pass the container as constructor argument to a widget to directly add children to the container, without using a layout manager. In that case, CSS-based layout is used, and the resulting display is determined by properties of the children and the container. By default, a WContainerWidget is displayed as a block and manages its children within a rectangle. Inline child widgets are layed out in lines, wrapping around as needed, while block child widgets are stacked vertically. The container may add padding at the container edges using setPadding(), and provide alignment of contents using setContentAlignment(). A container is rendered by default using a HTML div tag, but this may be changed to an HTML ul or ol tag to make use of other CSS layout techniques, using setList(). In addition, specializations of this class as implemented by WAnchor, WGroupBox, WStackedWidget and WTableCell provide other alternative rendering of the container.

When setting the WContainerWidget inline the container only acts as a conceptual container, offering a common style to its children. Inline children are still layed out inline within the flow of the parent container of this container, as if they were inserted directly into that parent container. Block children are then not allowed (according to the HTML specification).

To use a layout manager instead of CSS-based layout, use setLayout() or pass the container as constructor argument to a layout manager. In that case you should not define any padding for the container, and widgets and nested layout managers must be added to the layout manager, instead of to the container directly.

Usage example:

// Example 1:
// Instantiate a container widget and add some children whose layout 
// is governed based on HTML/CSS rules.
Wt::WContainerWidget *container1 = new Wt::WContainerWidget();
container1->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Some text"));
container1->addWidget(new Wt::WImage("images/img.png"));
Wt::WContainerWidget *child3 = new Wt::WContainerWidget(container1);
// Example 2:
// Instantiate a container widget which uses a layout manager
Wt::WContainerWidget *container2 = new Wt::WContainerWidget();
container2->resize(WLength::Auto, 600); // give the container a fixed height.
Wt::WVBoxLayout *layout = new Wt::WVBoxLayout();
layout->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Some text"));
layout->addWidget(new Wt::WImage("images/img.png"));
container2->setLayout(layout);      // set the layout to the container.

When using a layout manager, you need to carefully consider the alignment of the layout manager with respect to the container: when the container's height is unconstrained (not specified explicitly using resize() or a style class, and the container is not included in a layout manager), you should pass AlignTop to setLayout().

CSS

Depending on its configuration and usage, the widget corresponds to the following HTML tags:

By default, the widget corresponds to a <div> tag.
When configured with setInline(true), the widget corresponds to a <span>.
When configured with setList(true), the widget corresponds to a <ul>.
When configured with setList(true, true), the widget corresponds to a <ol>.
When inserted into a container widget that isList(), the widget corresponds to a <li>.

This widget does not provide styling, and can be styled using inline or external CSS as appropriate.

Member Function Documentation

void Wt::WContainerWidget::addWidget ( WWidget * widget )

virtual

Adds a child widget to this container.

This is equivalent to passing this container as the parent when constructing the child. The widget is appended to the list of children, and thus also layed-out at the end.

Reimplemented in Wt::Ext::Splitter, and Wt::WStackedWidget.

void Wt::WContainerWidget::clear ( )

virtual

Removes and deletes all child widgets.

This deletes all children that have been added to this container.

If a layout was set, also the layout manager is deleted.

WFlags<AlignmentFlag> Wt::WContainerWidget::contentAlignment ( ) const

Returns the alignment of children.

See also: setContentAlignment(WFlags<AlignmentFlag>)

void Wt::WContainerWidget::insertBefore	(	WWidget *	widget,
		WWidget *	before
	)

virtual

Inserts a child widget in this container, before another widget.

The widget is inserted at the place of the before widget, and subsequent widgets are shifted.

See also: insertWidget(int index, WWidget *widget);

Reimplemented in Wt::Ext::Splitter.

void Wt::WContainerWidget::insertWidget	(	int	index,
		WWidget *	widget
	)

virtual

Inserts a child widget in this container at given index.

The widget is inserted at the given index, and subsequent widgets are shifted.

See also: insertBefore(WWidget *widget, WWidget *before);

Reimplemented in Wt::Ext::Splitter, and Wt::WStackedWidget.

bool Wt::WContainerWidget::isList ( ) const

Returns if this container is rendered as a List.

See also: setList(), isOrderedList(), isUnorderedList()

bool Wt::WContainerWidget::isOrderedList ( ) const

Returns if this container is rendered as an Ordered List.

See also: setList(), isList(), isUnorderedList()

bool Wt::WContainerWidget::isUnorderedList ( ) const

Returns if this container is rendered as an Unordered List.

See also: setList(), isList(), isOrderedList()

WLayout* Wt::WContainerWidget::layout ( )

virtual

Returns the layout manager that was set for the container.

If no layout manager was previously set using setLayout(WLayout *), 0 is returned.

See also: setLayout(WLayout *)

Reimplemented from Wt::WWidget.

WLength Wt::WContainerWidget::padding ( Side side ) const

Returns the padding set for the widget.

See also: setPadding(const WLength&, WFlags<Side>)

void Wt::WContainerWidget::removeWidget ( WWidget * widget )

virtual

Removes a child widget from this container.

This removes the widget from this container, but does not delete the widget !

EventSignal< WScrollEvent > & Wt::WContainerWidget::scrolled ( )

Event signal emitted when scrolling in the widget.

This event is emitted when the user scrolls in the widget (for setting the scroll bar policy, see setOverflow()). The event conveys details such as the new scroll bar position, the total contents height and the current widget height.

See also: setOverflow()

int Wt::WContainerWidget::scrollLeft ( ) const

return the number of pixels the container is scrolled vertically

This value is only set if setOverflow() has been called

See also: setOverflow(); scrollTop();

int Wt::WContainerWidget::scrollTop ( ) const

return the number of pixels the container is scrolled horizontally

This value is only set if setOverflow() has been called

See also: setOverflow(); scrollLeft();

void Wt::WContainerWidget::setContentAlignment ( WFlags< AlignmentFlag > contentAlignment )

Specifies how child widgets must be aligned within the container.

For a WContainerWidget, only specifes the horizontal alignment of child widgets. Note that there is no way to specify vertical alignment: children are always pushed to the top of the container.

For a WTableCell, this may also specify the vertical alignment. The default alignment is (Wt::AlignTop | Wt::AlignLeft).

void Wt::WContainerWidget::setLayout ( WLayout * layout )

virtual

Sets a layout manager for the container.

Note that you can nest layout managers inside each other, to create a complex layout hierarchy.

If a previous layout manager was already set, it is first deleted. In that case, you will need to make sure that you either readd all widgets that were part of the previous layout to the new layout, or delete them, to avoid memory leaks.

See also: layout()

Reimplemented from Wt::WWidget.

void Wt::WContainerWidget::setLayout	(	WLayout *	layout,
		WFlags< AlignmentFlag >	alignment
	)

Sets a layout manager for the container (deprecated).

The alignment argument determines how the layout is aligned inside the container. By default, the layout manager arranges children over the entire width and height of the container, corresponding to a value of AlignJustify.

In general, alignment is the logical OR of a horizontal and a vertical flag:

The horizontal alignment option may be one of Wt::AlignLeft, Wt::AlignCenter, Wt::AlignRight, or Wt::AlignJustify.
The vertical alignment option may be '0' (corresponding to vertical justification to the full height), or Wt::AlignTop.

When using a horizontal alignment different from Wt::AlignJustify, and a vertical alignment different from '0', the widget is sized in that direction to fit the contents, instead of the contents being adjusted to the widget size. This is useful when the container does not have a specific size in that direction and when the layout manager does not contain any widgets that wish to consume all remaining space in that direction.

The widget will take ownership of layout.

Deprecated:: using setLayout() instead, use spacers or a nested layout to control the overall alignment of the layout contents within the container, and use setMaximumSize() (if needed) to let the layout contents determine the size of the container.

See also: layout()

void Wt::WContainerWidget::setList	(	bool	list,
		bool	ordered = `false`
	)

Renders the container as an HTML list.

Setting renderList to true will cause the container to be using an HTML <ul> or <ol> type, depending on the value of orderedList. This must be set before the initial render of the container. When set, any contained WContainerWidget will be rendered as an HTML <li>. Adding non-WContainerWidget children results in unspecified behaviour.

Note that CSS default layout rules for <ul> and <ol> add margin and padding to the container, which may look odd if you do not use bullets.

By default, a container is rendered using a <div> element.

See also: isList(), isOrderedList(), isUnorderedList()

void Wt::WContainerWidget::setOverflow	(	Overflow	overflow,
		WFlags< Orientation >	orientation = `(Horizontal \| Vertical)`
	)

Sets how overflow of contained children must be handled.

This is an alternative (CSS-ish) way to configure scroll bars on a container widget, compared to wrapping inside a WScrollArea.

Unlike WScrollArea, horizontal scrolling does not work reliably when the container widget is inserted in a layout manager: the layout manager will overflow rather than use scrollbars for this container widget. A solution then is to use WScrollArea instead.

See also: WScrollArea

void Wt::WContainerWidget::setPadding	(	const WLength &	padding,
		WFlags< Side >	sides = `All`
	)

Sets padding inside the widget.

Setting padding has the effect of adding distance between the widget children and the border.
