aps/MultiLine

This widget container is mainly used to align a set of widgets into a column or in a row unlike the aps/Container that aligns widgets only in a row. The allowed child widgets are ``aps/Output`` and ``aps/Status``.

Overview

With this widget, it is possible to align widgets containing output text as needed:

  • In a row similar to aps/Container

  • In a list with numbered items

  • In a list with bullet items

  • In an unordered list

Also, it is possible to align the output to the left or right position.

DESCRIPTION

contentAlign

string

'left'

The content alignment.

disabled

boolean

false

Specifies if the widget will respond to user input.

gridSize

string

undefined

This specifies the widget width that is relevant only for widgets inside Container, FieldSet, or Tiles.

isBusy

boolean

false

If the widget is busy then this property is true.

label

string

“”

Text that is shown as a label if the widget is placed inside a aps/FieldSet.

listStyle

string

'unstyled'

Defines one of the following list styles:
- 'ordered' - in the visual representation, every item will be numbered.

visible

boolean

true

If this property value is set to true, then the widget is visible.

contentAlign string

The content alignment. The possible values are ‘left’ and ‘right’. Default value: ‘left’.

disabled boolean

Specifies if the widget will respond to user input.

Default value: false.

gridSize string

This specifies the widget width that is relevant only for widgets inside Container, FieldSet, or Tiles. In other cases it will be ignored.

gridSize string contains few options with number values (from 1 to 12) separated by spaces, which specify the grid size of the widget in different layouts:

- md - desktop

- xs - phone

For example, gridSize: “md-4 xs-2”.

All values below 1, e.g. “md-0”, will be replaced with the empty string (“”), values above 12, e.g. “md-14”, will be reduced to 12 (“md-12”).

Default value: undefined.

isBusy boolean

If the widget is busy then this property is true.

Default value: false.

label string

Text that is shown as a label if the widget is placed inside a aps/FieldSet.

Default value: “”.

listStyle string

Defines one of the following list styles:
- 'ordered' - in the visual representation, every item will be numbered.
- 'unordered' - in the visual representation, this will be a list of bullet items.
- 'unstyled' - in the visual representation, this will be a pure list of items without numbers or bullets.
- 'inline' - the list is aligned in a single row.

 Default value: 'unstyled'.

visible boolean

If this property value is set to true, then the widget is visible.

Default value: true.

Public Methods

METHOD

RETURN

DESCRIPTION

addChild (child, insertIndex)

undefined

Adds a given widget to the list

cancel ()

object

Sets the isBusy property to false

destroy ()

undefined

Destroys this widget

focus ()

aps/_containerbase
function

Focusing the focusable child

get ()

any

Get a property of the Stateful instance

getChildren ()

array

Returns all direct children of this widget, i

getParents ()

array

Discover and return all parents of the widget

placeAt ()

dijit/_widgetbase
function

Place this widget somewhere in the DOM based on standard dojo/dom-construct::place() conventions

removeAll ()

undefined

Remove all children in the widget

removeChild (widget)

undefined

Removes a specified child widget instance from the list and destroys that widget

undefined

Resets the widget

set ()

object
function

Set a property of the Stateful instance

startup ()

undefined

Gets started after the DOM fragment is added to the document

validate ()

boolean

Called by oninit, onblur, and onkeypress

addChild

Adds a given widget to the list. Inserts the DOM node of a specified widget as a child to the container DOM node and possibly does other processing (such as layout).

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

child

Widget

Child widget

insertIndex

Number
String

Position child in the parent node

cancel

Sets the isBusy property to false.

Return: object

destroy

Destroys this widget. Will also destroy any resources (including widgets) registered via this.own(). This method will also destroy internal widgets such as those created from a template.

Return: undefined

focus

Focusing the focusable child

Return: aps/_containerbase function

get

Get a property of the Stateful instance. Get a named property of the Stateful object. The property may potentially be retrieved via a getter method in subclasses.

In the base class, this just retrieves the object’s property.

Return: any

getChildren

Returns all direct children of this widget, i.e. all widgets underneath this.containerNode whose parent is this widget. Note that it returns not all descendetns, but only the direct children. Analogous to Node.childNodes, except containing widgets rather than DOMNodes.

The result intentionally excludes internally created widgets (a.k.a. supporting widgets) outside of this.containerNode.

Note the returned array is a simple array. The application code should not assume existence of methods like forEach().

Return: array

getParents

Discover and return all parents of the widget.

Return: array

placeAt

Place this widget somewhere in the DOM based on standard dojo/dom-construct::place() conventions. A convenience function providing a simple shorthand mechanism to put an existing (or newly created) widget somewhere in the DOM, and allow chaining.

Return: dijit/_widgetbase function

removeAll

Remove all children in the widget.

Return: undefined

removeChild

Removes a specified child widget instance from the list and destroys that widget. You can also pass in an array index within the list, for example, ``removeChild(5)`` removes the sixth widget.

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

widget

Widget
int

Child widget or index

reset

Resets the widget.

Return: undefined

set

Set a property of the Stateful instance. Sets named properties of the stateful object and notifies the watchers of the property. A programmatic setter may be defined in subclasses.

Return: object function

startup

Gets started after the DOM fragment is added to the document Called after the widget and its children have been created and added to the page, and all related widgets have finished their create() cycle, up through postCreate().

Note that startup() may be called while the widget is still hidden, for example if the widget is inside a hidden dijit/Dialog or an unselected tab of a dijit/layout/TabContainer. For widgets that need to do layout, it’s best to put that layout code inside resize(), and then extend dijit/layout/_LayoutWidget so that resize() is called when the widget is visible.

Return: undefined

validate

Called by oninit, onblur, and onkeypress. Show missing or invalid messages if appropriate, and highlight textbox field.

Return: boolean

Public Events
