Properties

Private content

content: HelpDocRenderer

dataset

dataset: DOMStringMap

The dataset for the widget's DOM node.

disposed

disposed: ISignal<this, void>

A signal emitted when the widget is disposed.

Private docProvider

docProvider: IHelpDocProvider

id

id: string

Set the id of the widget's DOM node.

isAttached

isAttached: boolean

Test whether the widget's node is attached to the DOM.

isDisposed

isDisposed: boolean

Test whether the widget has been disposed.

isHidden

isHidden: boolean

Test whether the widget is explicitly hidden.

isVisible

isVisible: boolean

Test whether the widget is visible.

Notes

A widget is visible when it is attached to the DOM, is not explicitly hidden, and has no explicitly hidden ancestors.

layout

layout: BoxLayout

Private listbox

listbox: HelpDocTree

node

node: HTMLElement

Get the DOM node owned by the widget.

parent

parent: Widget | null

Set the parent of the widget.

Notes

Children are typically added to a widget by using a layout, which means user code will not normally set the parent widget directly.

The widget will be automatically removed from its old parent.

This is a no-op if there is no effective parent change.

title

title: Title<Widget>

The title object for the widget.

Notes

The title object is used by some container widgets when displaying the widget alongside some title, such as a tab panel or side bar.

Since not all widgets will use the title, it is created on demand.

The owner property of the title is set to this widget.

Methods

activate

  • activate(): void

  • Post an 'activate-request' message to the widget.

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for posting the message.

    Returns void

addClass

  • addClass(name: string): void

  • Add a class name to the widget's DOM node.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The class name to add to the node.

      Notes

      If the class name is already added to the node, this is a no-op.

      The class name must not contain whitespace.

    Returns void

children

  • children(): IIterator<Widget>

  • Create an iterator over the widget's children.

    Returns IIterator<Widget>

    A new iterator over the children of the widget.

    Notes

    The widget must have a populated layout in order to have children.

    If a layout is not installed, the returned iterator will be empty.

clearFlag

  • clearFlag(flag: Flag): void

  • Clear the given widget flag.

    Notes

    This will not typically be called directly by user code.

    Parameters

    • flag: Flag

    Returns void

close

  • close(): void

  • Send a 'close-request' message to the widget.

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for sending the message.

    Returns void

contains

  • contains(widget: Widget): boolean

  • Test whether a widget is a descendant of this widget.

    Parameters

    • widget: Widget

      The descendant widget of interest.

    Returns boolean

    true if the widget is a descendant, false otherwise.

dispose

  • dispose(): void

  • Dispose of the widget and its descendant widgets.

    Notes

    It is unsafe to use the widget after it has been disposed.

    All calls made to this method after the first are a no-op.

    Returns void

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for posting the message.

    true if the node has the class, false otherwise.

hide

  • hide(): void

  • Hide the widget and make it hidden to its parent widget.

    Notes

    This causes the isHidden property to be true.

    If the widget is explicitly hidden, this is a no-op.
