gridLayout (Tobago Core VDL Documentation)

Description:

**** Preliminary. Maybe subject to changed in a future version ****

WARNING: This component is preliminary and may be changed without a major release.

Renders a GridLayout.

 columns/rows ::= LAYOUT
 LAYOUT       ::= TOKEN [";" TOKEN]+
 TOKEN        ::= AUTO | PIXEL | PROPORTIONAL
 AUTO         ::= "auto" | "fixed"
 PIXEL        ::= NUMBER "px"
 PROPORTIONAL ::= [NUMBER] "*"

GridLayout
Parent	Child	Okay?	Remarks
AUTO	any combination of AUTO or PIXEL but no PROPORTIONAL	okay	-
AUTO	any combination with at least one PROPORTIONAL	wrong	Layout manager cannot compute the auto value.
PIXEL	any combination of AUTO or PIXEL but no PROPORTIONAL	potentially wrong	The values depend on each other, the programmer has to keep consistency manually.
PIXEL	any combination with at least one PROPORTIONAL	okay	-
PROPORTIONAL	any combination of AUTO or PIXEL but no PROPORTIONAL	potentially wrong	No automatic matching: too little space: scroll bar too much space: elements will be spread.
PROPORTIONAL	any combination with at least one PROPORTIONAL	okay	-

Renderer Type	`GridLayout`
Description	None

Attributes
Name	Required	Type	Description
`binding`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `javax.faces.component.UIComponent`)	The value binding expression linking this component to a property in a backing bean. For Facelets, the component is the outer UIPanel, not the input control. Type: `javax.faces.component.UIComponent`
`columnSpacing`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.layout.Measure`)	Spacing between the columns in the actual layout. Type: `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.layout.Measure`
`columns`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.String`)	This value defines the layout constraints for column layout. It is a semicolon separated list of layout tokens '[<n>]', '<n>px' or 'auto'. Where <n> is a non negative integer and the square brackets means optional. Example: '2;;100px;auto'. Type: `java.lang.String` Default: `1`
`id`	`false`	`java.lang.String`	The component identifier for this component. This value must be unique within the closest parent component that is a naming container. Type: `java.lang.String`
`markup`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.context.Markup`)	Indicate markup of this component. The allowed markups can be defined or overridden in the theme. The value 'none' should not be used any longer. Just leave the attribute empty, or use a NULL pointer. Type: `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.context.Markup`
`rowSpacing`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.layout.Measure`)	Spacing between the rows in the actual layout. Type: `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.layout.Measure`
`rows`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.String`)	This value defines the layout constraints for row layout. It is a semicolon separated list of layout tokens '[<n>]', '<n>px' or 'auto'. Where <n> is a non negative integer and the square brackets means optional. Example: '2;;100px;auto'. Type: `java.lang.String` Default: `1`
