Hi,

I recently started using ZK6 and I'm wondering is it possible to apply MVVM to custom composite components?
For example, I want to have composite component consisting of paging component + listbox component, which should implement custom logic for paging and sorting on the database.
Is it possible to do such a thing, from which component should I extend, how should I acquire and pass the annotated model like

model="@bind(vm.model) @template('template1')"

from the composite component declaration to the listbox within the component, and so on?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, it can. But currently there is still no complete document for this.
1. You should extend existing ZK class like HtmlMacroComponent.
2. declare a macro component
<?component name="editor3" macroURI="/bind/basic/composite3.zul" class="org.zkoss.zktest.bind.basic.MyComposite"?>
3. declare component definition annotation for binding
annotation syntax:
http://www.zkoss.org/javadoc/latest/zk/org/zkoss/zk/ui/annotation/ComponentAnnotation.html

see current component's definition in metainfo\zk\lang-addon.xml of zkbind.jar

Hope this will help.
