Hi,
I am quite new to ZK, so I apologize in advance if my question is not as clear as necessary (I might mix up some terms).
My scenario is simple: I have an input field, in which I have some text entered, which gets selected on focus (via an event listener). When I right-click inside the field, I have a popup which opens (a popup is set as the input field's context) and that allows me to perform operations on the input field and others.
My problem is: I would like to preserve the selection on the text when right-clicking inside the field and opening the popup. My code is something like this:
inputElement.addEventListener(Events.ON_FOCUS, new EventListener<Event>() {
public void onEvent(Event event) throws Exception {
((InputElement)event.getTarget()).select();
}
});
inputElement.addEventListener(Events.ON_RIGHT_CLICK, new EventListener<Event>() {
public void onEvent(Event event) throws Exception {
//((InputElement)event.getTarget()).select();
mypopup.open((InputElement)event.getTarget());
}
});
This unfortunately seems not possible. I have tried (as is commented in the right-click event handler) to force the selection. I know I can't have the popup and the right-click handler working simultaneously (I saw an issue with ZK saying it's like this by design). I also know that there is a property which seems to be what I want, but only for Listbox and Tree: the org.zkoss.zul.*.rightSelect property/attribute.
I am looking to find a Java solution for this if possible, or maybe a property configured/attributed added. Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards and thanks in advance, Andrei
Hi again,
in this example on ZK fiddle you'll find the previous example including a Java only equivalent of Option 1 (for the components with IDs textboxJava / mypopJava). The difference to your attempt is that I use the onOpen event of the context menu to select the text.
You'll also notice that I used the @Subscribe annotations instead of the dynamic addEventListener() that you are using. Both ways should have the same result. I just find the annotation way more convenient and easier to read/maintain, unless I need to add/remove the event listeners dynamically.
Regards, Robert
Hi Andrei,
the whole topic seems to be very browser specific just have a look at this discussion at stackoverflow
So tried to make your "workaround work", and I also found browser specific behaviors... while option 1 seemed to be most stable across browsers.
<zk xmlns:w="client">
using ServerSide Event listener
<textbox id="t1" onFocus="self.select()" value="option 1" context="mypop" />
<textbox id="t2" onFocus="self.select()" value="option 2" onRightClick="mypop.open(self)" />
using ClientSide Event listeners
<textbox id="t3" w:onFocus="this.select()" value="option 3" context="mypop2" />
<!-- listen to onOpen on the server side -->
<popup id="mypop" onOpen="if(event.open) event.reference.select();">
<div>Hello some content</div>
</popup>
<!-- listen to onOpen on the client side note the "w:" -->
<popup id="mypop2" w:onOpen="if(event.open) event.reference.select();">
<div>Hello some content</div>
</popup>
</zk>
I hope you can find some of this useful... if not let me know.
Robert

@Robert @cor3000 I can't seem to reply on your answer (can't even upvote it) but, yes, your solution works - thank you! :) do you have any idea how that could be done using Java, on the server side?
acostache ( 2013-11-28 11:36:24 +0800 )edityes it is possible (in fact option 1 and 2 use zcripts triggered via ajax on the serverside, the same can be achieved by listening to the events on the serverside like you did), I can create some running example of any version, which do you prefer: option 1, 2 or 3? all are possible...
cor3000 ( 2013-11-29 01:09:33 +0800 )edit@cor3000 if possible, option1: i think my sample workaround is similar to that, but i am sure i must be missing something. thank you very much for all the support
acostache ( 2013-11-29 07:30:51 +0800 )edit@cor3000 Thank you Robert for your answers and help. Your Java code also works nice; but I am still wondering (learning ZK :) ) why my scenario did not fully work, as it seems equivalent (with that event handling difference on your side).
acostache ( 2013-12-02 14:51:22 +0800 )editthe only difference I see is, that the onOpen event is called later, so there is less happening being changed in the dom after I reselect the textbox content, i simply reduce the chance of a side effect.
