Class WButtonGroup

java.lang.Object
eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WObject
eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WButtonGroup
public class WButtonGroup extends WObject
A class for grouping radio buttons logically together.

A button group manages a set of radio buttons, making them exclusive of each other.

It is not a widget, but instead provides only a logical grouping. Radio buttons are aware of the group in which they have been added, see WRadioButton.getGroup(). When a button is deleted, it is automatically removed its button group.

It allows you to associate id's with each button, which you may use to identify a particular button. The special value of -1 is reserved to indicate no button.

    • WButtonGroup

      public WButtonGroup()
      Creates a new empty button group.

      Note: The WRadioButtons associated with this WButtonGroup keep a shared_ptr to this WButtonGroup. Therefore, you should store a WButtonGroup in a shared_ptr (e.g. construct it with make_shared) before adding any radio buttons to it.

  • Method Details

    • addButton

      public void addButton(WRadioButton button, int id)
      Adds a radio button to the group.

      You can assign an id to the button. If id is -1, then a unique id will be generated.

      Note: WButtonGroup should be owned by a shared_ptr before addButton is called on it!

    • getButton

      Returns the button for the given id.

      Returns null if no button exists for the given id.

    • getId

      public int getId(WRadioButton button)
      Returns the id for the given button.

      See Also:

    • getId

      public String getId()
      Description copied from class: WObject
      Returns the (unique) identifier for this object

      For a WWidget, this corresponds to the id of the DOM element that represents the widget. This is not entirely unique, since a WCompositeWidget shares the same id as its implementation.

      By default, the id is auto-generated, unless a custom id is set for a widget using WWidget.setId(String). The auto-generated id is created by concatenating WObject.getObjectName() with a unique number.

      Overrides:
      getId in class WObject

    • getButtons

      public List<WRadioButton> getButtons()
      Returns the buttons in this group.

    • getCount

      public int getCount()
      Returns the number of radiobuttons in this group.

    • getCheckedId

      public int getCheckedId()
      Returns the id of the checked button.

      Returns the id of the currently checked button, or -1 if no button is currently checked.

    • setCheckedButton

      public void setCheckedButton(WRadioButton button)
      Sets the currently checked radiobutton.

      The button button of this group is checked. A value of null will uncheck all radiobuttons.

      Initially, no button is checked.

      See Also:

    • getCheckedButton

      public WRadioButton getCheckedButton()
      Returns the checked radiobutton.

      If there is no radiobutton currently checked this function returns null.

      See Also:

    • setSelectedButtonIndex

      public void setSelectedButtonIndex(int idx)
      Sets the currently checked radiobutton.

      Sets the idx'th radiobutton checked. A value of -1 will uncheck all radiobuttons.

      Initially, no button is checked.

    • getSelectedButtonIndex

      public int getSelectedButtonIndex()
      Returns the index of the checked radiobutton.

      The index reflects the order in which the buttons have been added to the button group. Use getCheckedId() if you want to know the id of the button that is currently checked. If there is no radiobutton selected this function returns -1.
