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:
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 AlignmentFlag::Top to setLayout().
Depending on its configuration and usage, the widget corresponds to the following HTML tags:
<div>
tag.<span>
.<ul>
.<ol>
.<li>
.This widget does not provide styling, and can be styled using inline or external CSS as appropriate.
|
virtual |
Adds a child widget to this container.
The widget is appended to the list of children, and thus also layed-out at the end.
If, for some reason, you want to be in control of the lifetime of the widget, you can retrieve a unique_ptr with WObject::removeChild()
Reimplemented in Wt::WStackedWidget.
Widget* Wt::WContainerWidget::addWidget | ( | std::unique_ptr< Widget > | widget | ) |
Adds a child widget to this container, returning a raw pointer.
This is implemented as:
This is a useful shorthand to add a widget and get a raw pointer to it, e.g.:
|
virtual |
Removes all widgets.
This removes all children that have been added to this container. If a layout was set, also the layout manager is cleared.
WFlags<AlignmentFlag> Wt::WContainerWidget::contentAlignment | ( | ) | const |
Returns the alignment of children.
|
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.
If, for some reason, you want to be in control of the lifetime of the widget, you can regain ownership of the widget (without any functional implication) using WObject::removeChild()
Widget* Wt::WContainerWidget::insertWidget | ( | std::unique_ptr< Widget > | widget, |
WWidget * | before | ||
) |
Inserts a child widget to this container, before another widget, returning a raw pointer.
This is implemented as:
|
virtual |
Inserts a child widget in this container at given index.
The widget is inserted at the given index
, and subsequent widgets are shifted.
If, for some reason, you want to be in control of the lifetime of the widget, you can regain ownership of the widget (without any functional implication) using WObject::removeChild()
Reimplemented in Wt::WStackedWidget.
Widget* Wt::WContainerWidget::insertWidget | ( | int | index, |
std::unique_ptr< Widget > | widget | ||
) |
Inserts a child widget to this container at given index, returning a raw pointer.
This is implemented as:
bool Wt::WContainerWidget::isList | ( | ) | const |
Returns if this container is rendered as a List.
bool Wt::WContainerWidget::isOrderedList | ( | ) | const |
Returns if this container is rendered as an Ordered List.
bool Wt::WContainerWidget::isUnorderedList | ( | ) | const |
Returns if this container is rendered as an Unordered List.
WLayout* Wt::WContainerWidget::layout | ( | ) | const |
Returns the layout manager that was set for the container.
If no layout manager was previously set using setLayout(WLayout *), 0 is returned.
Returns the padding set for the widget.
Removes a child widget from this container.
If the WContainerWidget owns the given widget (i.e. if it was added with addWidget() or insertWidget() and not removed with WObject::removeChild()), a unique_ptr to this widget is returned. Otherwise, this returns nullptr.
Reimplemented from Wt::WWidget.
Reimplemented in Wt::WStackedWidget.
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.
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
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
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::AlignmentFlag::Top | Wt::AlignmentFlag::Left).
void Wt::WContainerWidget::setLayout | ( | std::unique_ptr< WLayout > | layout | ) |
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.
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.
void Wt::WContainerWidget::setOverflow | ( | Overflow | overflow, |
WFlags< Orientation > | orientation = (Orientation::Horizontal | Orientation::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.
