aps/ToolbarButton

Button for a toolbar.

This widget should be used ONLY in an ``aps/Toolbar``. Find an example in aps/Toolbar.

Overview

Using the aps/ToolbarButton widget, you can display a toolbar button that contains the same properties and methods as the aps/Button widget.

Since all properties are the same as in aps/Button, below are just few examples for the aps/ToolbarButton. Examples of aps/Toolbar are presented later.

Button Label and Icon

To assign a label and an icon to a button, use the following properties:

  • label (preferable) or title - defines a text displayed on the button. Use only one of them.

  • iconClass or iconName - defines an icon for the button:

    • iconClass specifies a CSS class

      RUN DEMO

      require(["aps/Toolbar", "aps/ToolbarButton", "aps/PageContainer", "aps/ready!"],
  function(Toolbar, ToolbarButton, PageContainer){
    "use strict";

    var page = new PageContainer({}, "example");

    var toolbar = new Toolbar({});

    toolbar.addChild(new ToolbarButton({
      label:      "Add New Server",
      iconClass:  "sb-add-new-server"
    }));

    page.addChild(toolbar);

    page.startup();
});

    • iconName specifies a path to the icon file

On Click Handler

You can add an on-click handler for a button by defining the onClick property:

RUN DEMO

require(["aps/Toolbar", "aps/ToolbarButton", "aps/PageContainer", "aps/ready!"],
  function(Toolbar, ToolbarButton, PageContainer){
    "use strict";

    var page = new PageContainer({}, "example");
    var toolbar = new Toolbar();

    toolbar.addChild(new ToolbarButton({
      label:      "Add New Server",
      iconClass:  "sb-add-new-server",
      onClick: function(){
        alert("triam!");
      }
    }));

    page.addChild(toolbar);

    page.startup();
});

After creating a button, irrespective of the way it was declared, you can specify an on-click handler at any time you like by using the on method with a value of the first argument set to “click”. You can get a button object with help of a dijit/registry object as explained at Base Properties and Methods.

RUN DEMO

require([
  "aps/Toolbar",
  "aps/ToolbarButton",
  "dijit/registry",
  "aps/PageContainer",
  "aps/ready!"
], function(Toolbar, ToolbarButton, registry, PageContainer){
  "use strict";

  var page = new PageContainer({}, "example");

  var toolbar = new Toolbar();

  toolbar.addChild(new ToolbarButton({
    id:         "AddNewServer",
    label:      "Add New Server",
    iconClass:  "sb-add-new-server"
  }));

  page.addChild(toolbar);

  page.startup();

  registry.byId("AddNewServer").on("click", function(e) {
    alert("click!");
  });
});

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

hideFor

string

“”

It is a string containing “md” (hides the property in desktops), or “xs” (hides it in mobiles), or both “md xs” (hides the property regardless of the mode).

iconClass

string

“”

Class to apply to the DOMNode in a button to make it display an icon.

iconName

string

“”

Icon source - address to an icon file.

isBusy

boolean

false

If the widget is busy then this property is true.

label

string

“”

Text on the button.

requireItems

boolean

false

If “true” the button will be enabled only if ONE or MORE items in the aps/Grid is selected.

requireSingleItem

boolean

false

If “true” the button will be enabled only if ONE item in the aps/Grid is selected.

timeout

number

0

If exists, then it will call the cancel() method to enable the button after a period of time specified by this property.

title

string

“”

Text on the button.

visible

boolean

true

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

autoBusy boolean

If true than a button will be disabled after a click. Default value: true.

busyLabel string

Text displayed while a button is disabled. Default value: “Please wait” (PCP / CCP v1) or “Loading” (CCP v2).

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.

It is a string containing “md” (hides the property in desktops), or “xs” (hides it in mobiles), or both “md xs” (hides the property regardless of the mode). Default value: “”.

iconClass string

Class to apply to the DOMNode in a button to make it display an icon. Default value: “”.

iconName string

Icon source - address to an icon file. It has no effect without the label or title property. Only for CCP v1. Default value: “”.

isBusy boolean

If the widget is busy then this property is true.

Default value: false.

label string

Text on the button. You shouldn’t use both together. The preferred equivalent for the “title” property. Default value: “”.

requireItems boolean

If “true” the button will be enabled only if ONE or MORE items in the aps/Grid is selected. Default value: false.

requireSingleItem boolean

If “true” the button will be enabled only if ONE item in the aps/Grid is selected. This property has a priority on requireItems property. Default value: false.

Text on the button. Equivalent for the “title” property. You shouldn’t use both together. We recommended using the “label” property. Default value: “”.

visible boolean

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

Default value: true.

any

Get a property of the Stateful instance

getParents ()
array

placeAt ()
dijit/_widgetbase
function

cancel

Switches the button back to the enabled state. To prevent double submission by a user, aps.Button is switched to the disabled state automatically each time after the user clicks. To switch the button back to the enabled state, call the cancel() method in your onClick handler. Functionality is almost the same as dojox/form/BusyButton.

Return: undefined

destroy

Destroys the button.

Return: undefined

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

getParents

Discover and return all parents of the widget.

Return: array

makeBusy

Does a transition between the ‘ready to handle user event’ (isBusy: false) state and the ‘busy’ (isBusy: true) state. Also disables the button (disabled:true).

Return: aps.button function

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

resetTimeout

Resets existing timeout and sets a new timeout.

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

timeout
Int

Time in millisecondsю

set

Deprecated. Use set() instead.

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

val
String

Note that startup() may be called while the widget is still hidden.

Return: undefined
