Label

Employment/Purpose

A label component represents a piece of text. A pure text on the zul will be automatically converted to a label.

Example

 <window title="Label Demo" >
 <grid>
     <rows>
         <row>Label(normal): <label id="lb1"/></row>
         <row>Label(color): <label id="lb2" style="color:red"/></row>
         <row>Label(font): <label id="lb3" style="font-weight:bold"/></row>
         <row>Label(size): <label id="lb4" style="font-size:14pt"/></row>
         <row>Label(maxlength): <label id="lb5" maxlength="5"/></row>
         <row>Label(pre): <label id="lb6" pre="true"/></row>
         <row>input:
             <textbox id="txt" rows="2"><attribute name="onChange">
                     lb1.value=self.value;
                     lb2.value=self.value;
                     lb3.value=self.value;
                     lb4.value=self.value;
                     lb5.value=self.value;
                     lb6.value=self.value;
             </attribute></textbox>
         </row>
     </rows>
 </grid>
 </window>

You can control how a label is displayed with the style, pre and maxlength Properties.

For example, if you specify pre to be true, all white spaces, such as new line, space and tab, are preserved.

A label component represents a piece of text.

ZKComRef Label Example2.png

<window border="normal"> 
	Hello World
</window>

If you want to add an attribute to a label, it has to be written as follows:

ZKComRef Label Example3.png

<window border="normal">
	<label style="color: red" value="Hello World" />
</window>


Special Character

Since ZUML is XML, not HTML, so it doesn't accept &nbsp;. However, you can use &#160; instead. For the whole list, please refer th List of XML and HTML character entity references.

Properties

Pre, Hyphen, Maxlength and Multiline

Since 5.0.0

You can control how a label is displayed using the pre, multiline and maxlength properties. For example, if you specify pre to be true, all white spaces, such as new lines, spaces and tabs, are preserved.

<window border="normal" width="300px">
    <vbox id="result">
    </vbox>
    <zscript><![CDATA[
        String[] s = {"this is 9", 
        				"this is ten more to show",
            			"this framework", 
            			"performance is everything"};
        for (int j = 0; j < s.length; ++j) {
            Label l = new Label(s[j]);
            l.maxlength = 9;
            l.hyphen = true;
            l.parent = result;
            Separator sep =  new Separator();
            sep.setBar(true);
            sep.parent = result;
        }
    ]]>
    </zscript>
</window>

The multiline property is similar to the pre property, except it only preserves new lines and white space at the beginning of each line.
