timeZoneSelect

Purpose

Adds a TimeZone-populated Select field to the parent container.

Examples

// Within a form
<v:form bean="${accountInstance}">
  <v:timeZoneSelect name="timeZone">TimeZone</v:timeZoneSelect>
</v:form>// Standalone
<v:timeZoneSelect>My Time Zone Field</v:timeZoneSelect>

Description

The timeZoneSelect tag is a special type of field tag, where the field component is a Vaadin Select.

The select is auto-populated with the list of available TimeZone instances.

This mimics Grails's timeZoneSelect tag.

Body

Contains the caption for the field

Attributes

Specific

name (optional) The property name of the field
caption (optional) The caption of the field. Overrides the body content.
type (optional) The class (or its fully-qualified name) of the Vaadin Component to use for the field, or a recognised short type-name: comboBox, listSelect, optionGroup, select
from (optional) The data to use as containerDataSource. Either a comma-separated String, a collection of objects or a Vaadin Container.
itemIds (optional) Override the default itemIds. Either a comma-separated String or a collection of objects.
itemId (optional) Override the default itemId for each item. Either a closure that takes an Item parameter and returns an id, or the name of a property of the underlying bean.
itemCaption (optional) Override the default itemCaption for each item. Either a closure that takes an Item parameter and returns a caption, or the name of a property of the underlying bean.
itemCaptionMessagePrefix (optional) Obtain the itemCaption using i18n. Mimics Grails's valueMessagePrefix attribute. The specified value will be prepended (plus a dot '.') to the itemCaption, and the resulting string will be used for an i18n lookup. If this fails, the itemCaption is left unchanged.
itemIcon (optional) Display an icon for each item. Either a closure that takes an Item parameter and returns an icon, or the name of a property of the underlying bean.
The resulting value should be a Vaadin Resource, or a String path to the resource. If the path starts with / or contains ://, it is treated as a URL; otherwise, it is treated as a path relative to the directory of the Vaadin application's active theme.
onValueChange (optional) Either a ValueChangeListener or a Closure that takes a ValueChangeEvent parameter.

Remember to set immediate="true" if you want the ValueChangeEvent to fire immediately when the user selects a new value.

General

var (optional) Uses Grails's set tag to set the value of the specified variable to be this component.
class (optional) The CSS class name to add to the component using the addStyleName() method
sizeUndefined (optional) Calls setSizeUndefined() on the component. (Attribute value is ignored)
sizeFull (optional) Calls setSizeFull() on the component. (Attribute value is ignored)
