Properties

_attrPairNames
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase
_blankGif
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

Path to a blank 1x1 image. Used by <img> nodes in templates that really get their image via CSS background-image.

_fixedAppFooter
_moved

Flag that signals if the user have moved in (one of) the scroll direction(s) since touch start (a move under the threshold is ignored).

_parentPadBorderExtentsBottom

For Tooltip.js.

_setClassAttr
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase
_setDirAttr
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase
_setIdAttr
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase
_setLangAttr
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase
_setTypeAttr
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase
_started
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

startup() has completed.

allowNestedScrolls

Flag to allow scrolling in nested containers, e.g. to allow ScrollableView in a SwapView.

appBars

Enables the search for application-specific bars (header or footer).

attributeMap
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

Deprecated. Instead of attributeMap, widget should have a _setXXXAttr attribute for each XXX attribute to be mapped to the DOM.

attributeMap sets up a "binding" between attributes (aka properties) of the widget and the widget's DOM. Changes to widget attributes listed in attributeMap will be reflected into the DOM.

For example, calling set('title', 'hello') on a TitlePane will automatically cause the TitlePane's DOM to update with the new title.

attributeMap is a hash where the key is an attribute of the widget, and the value reflects a binding to a:

  • DOM node attribute

    focus: {node: "focusNode", type: "attribute"} Maps this.focus to this.focusNode.focus

  • DOM node innerHTML

    title: { node: "titleNode", type: "innerHTML" } Maps this.title to this.titleNode.innerHTML

  • DOM node innerText

    title: { node: "titleNode", type: "innerText" } Maps this.title to this.titleNode.innerText

  • DOM node CSS class

    myClass: { node: "domNode", type: "class" } Maps this.myClass to this.domNode.className

If the value is an array, then each element in the array matches one of the formats of the above list.

There are also some shorthands for backwards compatibility:

  • string --> { node: string, type: "attribute" }, for example:
"focusNode" ---> { node: "focusNode", type: "attribute" }
  • "" --> { node: "domNode", type: "attribute" }
baseClass

The name of the CSS class of this widget.

class
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase
constraint

bounce back to the content area

containerNode
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

Designates where children of the source DOM node will be placed. "Children" in this case refers to both DOM nodes and widgets. For example, for myWidget:

<div data-dojo-type=myWidget>
    <b> here's a plain DOM node
    <span data-dojo-type=subWidget>and a widget</span>
    <i> and another plain DOM node </i>
</div>

containerNode would point to:

<b> here's a plain DOM node
<span data-dojo-type=subWidget>and a widget</span>
<i> and another plain DOM node </i>

In templated widgets, "containerNode" is set via a data-dojo-attach-point assignment.

containerNode must be defined for any widget that accepts innerHTML (like ContentPane or BorderContainer or even Button), and conversely is null for widgets that don't, like TextBox.

dir
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

Bi-directional support, as defined by the HTML DIR attribute. Either left-to-right "ltr" or right-to-left "rtl". If undefined, widgets renders in page's default direction.

dirLock

disable the move handler if scroll starts in the unexpected direction

disableFlashScrollBar
domNode
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

This is our visible representation of the widget! Other DOM Nodes may by assigned to other properties, usually through the template system's data-dojo-attach-point syntax, but the domNode property is the canonical "top level" node in widget UI.

fadeScrollBar
fixedFooter

Id of the fixed footer.

fixedFooterHeight

height of a fixed footer

fixedHeader

Id of the fixed header.

fixedHeaderHeight

height of a fixed header

focused
Defined by: dijit/_FocusMixin

This widget or a widget it contains has focus, or is "active" because it was recently clicked.

height

explicitly specified height of this widget (ex. "300px")

id
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

A unique, opaque ID string that can be assigned by users or by the system. If the developer passes an ID which is known not to be unique, the specified ID is ignored and the system-generated ID is used instead.

isLocalFooter

footer is view-local (as opposed to application-wide)

lang
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

Rarely used. Overrides the default Dojo locale used to render this widget, as defined by the HTML LANG attribute. Value must be among the list of locales specified during by the Dojo bootstrap, formatted according to RFC 3066 (like en-us).

ownerDocument
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

The document this widget belongs to. If not specified to constructor, will default to srcNodeRef.ownerDocument, or if no sourceRef specified, then to the document global

propagatable

let touchstart event propagate up

radius

Radius of the rounded corner mask.

roundCornerMask

If true, creates a rounded corner mask to clip corners of a child widget or DOM node. Works only on WebKit-based browsers.

scrollableParams
scrollBar

show scroll bar or not

scrollDir

v: vertical, h: horizontal, vh: both, f: flip

scrollType
  • 1: use (-webkit-)transform:translate3d(x,y,z) style, use (-webkit-)animation for slide animation
  • 2: use top/left style,
  • 3: use (-webkit-)transform:translate3d(x,y,z) style, use (-webkit-)transition for slide animation
  • 0: use default value (3 for Android, iOS6+, and BlackBerry; otherwise 1)
srcNodeRef
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

pointer to original DOM node

style
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

HTML style attributes as cssText string or name/value hash

threshold

drag threshold value in pixels

title
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

HTML title attribute.

For form widgets this specifies a tooltip to display when hovering over the widget (just like the native HTML title attribute).

For TitlePane or for when this widget is a child of a TabContainer, AccordionContainer, etc., it's used to specify the tab label, accordion pane title, etc. In this case it's interpreted as HTML.

tooltip
Defined by: dijit/_WidgetBase

When this widget's title attribute is used to for a tab label, accordion pane title, etc., this specifies the tooltip to appear when the mouse is hovered over that text.

touchNode

a node that will have touch event handlers

weight

frictional drag

Methods

_applyAttributes()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Step during widget creation to copy widget attributes to the DOM according to attributeMap and _setXXXAttr objects, and also to call custom _setXXXAttr() methods.

Skips over blank/false attribute values, unless they were explicitly specified as parameters to the widget, since those are the default anyway, and setting tabIndex="" is different than not setting tabIndex at all.

For backwards-compatibility reasons attributeMap overrides _setXXXAttr when _setXXXAttr is a hash/string/array, but _setXXXAttr as a functions override attributeMap.

_attrToDom(attr,value,commands)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Reflect a widget attribute (title, tabIndex, duration etc.) to the widget DOM, as specified by commands parameter. If commands isn't specified then it's looked up from attributeMap. Note some attributes like "type" cannot be processed this way as they are not mutable.

Parameter Type Description
attr String

Name of member variable (ex: "focusNode" maps to this.focusNode) pointing to DOMNode inside the widget, or alternately pointing to a subwidget

value String
commands Object
Optional
_changeAttrValue(name,value)
Defined by dojo/Stateful

Internal helper for directly changing an attribute value.

Directly change the value of an attribute on an object, bypassing any accessor setter. Also handles the calling of watch and emitting events. It is designed to be used by descendant class when there are two values of attributes that are linked, but calling .set() is not appropriate.

Parameter Type Description
name String

The property to set.

value Mixed

The value to set in the property.

Returns:function

Internal helper for directly changing an attribute value.

_get(name)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Helper function to get value for specified property stored by this._set(), i.e. for properties with custom setters. Used mainly by custom getters.

For example, CheckBox._getValueAttr() calls this._get("value").

Parameter Type Description
name String
Returns:undefined
_getAttrNames(name)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Helper function for get() and set(). Caches attribute name values so we don't do the string ops every time.

Parameter Type Description
name undefined
Returns:undefined | object
_getSibling(which)
Defined by dijit/_Contained

Returns next or previous sibling

Parameter Type Description
which String

Either "next" or "previous"

Returns:undefined
_introspect()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Collect metadata about this widget (only once per class, not once per instance):

- list of attributes with custom setters, storing in this.constructor._setterAttrs
- generate this.constructor._onMap, mapping names like "mousedown" to functions like onMouseDown
_keepInputCaretInActiveElement()
_runSlideAnimation(from,to,duration,easing,node,idx)
Parameter Type Description
from Object
to Object
duration Number
easing String
node DomNode
idx Number
_set(name,value)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Helper function to set new value for specified property, and call handlers registered with watch() if the value has changed.

Parameter Type Description
name String
value anything
_setOwnerDocumentAttr(val)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase
Parameter Type Description
val undefined
_setStyleAttr(value)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Sets the style attribute of the widget according to value, which is either a hash like {height: "5px", width: "3px"} or a plain string

Determines which node to set the style on based on style setting in attributeMap.

Parameter Type Description
value String | Object
abort()

Aborts scrolling.

This function stops the scrolling animation that is currently running. It is called when the user touches the screen while scrolling.

addCover()

Adds the transparent DIV cover.

The cover is to prevent DOM events from affecting the child widgets such as a list widget. Without the cover, for example, child widgets may receive a click event and respond to it unexpectedly when the user flicks the screen to scroll. Note that only the desktop browsers need the cover.

adjustDestination(to,pos,dim)

A stub function to be overridden by subclasses.

This function is called from onTouchEnd(). The purpose is to give its subclasses a chance to adjust the destination position. If this function returns false, onTouchEnd() returns immediately without performing scroll.

Parameter Type Description
to Object

The destination position. An object with x and y.

pos Object

The current position. An object with x and y.

dim Object

Dimension information returned by getDim().

Returns:boolean

Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use this.own(on(...)) or this.own(aspect.after(...)) instead.

Connects specified obj/event to specified method of this object and registers for disconnect() on widget destroy.

Provide widget-specific analog to dojo.connect, except with the implicit use of this widget as the target object. Events connected with this.connect are disconnected upon destruction.

Parameter Type Description
obj Object | null
event String | Function
method String | Function
Returns:any | undefined

A handle that can be passed to disconnect in order to disconnect before the widget is destroyed.

Examples

Example 1

var btn = new Button();
// when foo.bar() is called, call the listener we're going to
// provide in the scope of btn
btn.connect(foo, "bar", function(){
    console.debug(this.toString());
});
create(params,srcNodeRef)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Kick off the life-cycle of a widget

Create calls a number of widget methods (postMixInProperties, buildRendering, postCreate, etc.), some of which of you'll want to override. See http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dijit/_WidgetBase.html for a discussion of the widget creation lifecycle.

Of course, adventurous developers could override create entirely, but this should only be done as a last resort.

Parameter Type Description
params Object | null

Hash of initialization parameters for widget, including scalar values (like title, duration etc.) and functions, typically callbacks like onClick. The hash can contain any of the widget's properties, excluding read-only properties.

srcNodeRef DOMNode | String
Optional

If a srcNodeRef (DOM node) is specified:

  • use srcNodeRef.innerHTML as my contents
  • if this is a behavioral widget then apply behavior to that srcNodeRef
  • otherwise, replace srcNodeRef with my generated DOM tree
createMask()

Creates a mask for a scroll bar edge.

This function creates a mask that hides corners of one scroll bar edge to make it round edge. The other side of the edge is always visible and round shaped with the border-radius style.

createRoundMask()

Creates a rounded corner rectangle mask.

Creates a rounded corner rectangle mask. This function works only on WebKit-based browsers.

defer(fcn,delay)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Wrapper to setTimeout to avoid deferred functions executing after the originating widget has been destroyed. Returns an object handle with a remove method (that returns null) (replaces clearTimeout).

Parameter Type Description
fcn Function

Function reference.

delay Number
Optional

Delay, defaults to 0.

Returns:object
destroy(preserveDom)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Destroy this widget, but not its descendants. Descendants means widgets inside of this.containerNode. Will also destroy any resources (including widgets) registered via this.own().

This method will also destroy internal widgets such as those created from a template, assuming those widgets exist inside of this.domNode but outside of this.containerNode.

For 2.0 it's planned that this method will also destroy descendant widgets, so apps should not depend on the current ability to destroy a widget without destroying its descendants. Generally they should use destroyRecursive() for widgets with children.

Parameter Type Description
preserveDom Boolean

If true, this method will leave the original DOM structure alone. Note: This will not yet work with _TemplatedMixin widgets

destroyDescendants(preserveDom)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Recursively destroy the children of this widget and their descendants.

Parameter Type Description
preserveDom Boolean
Optional

If true, the preserveDom attribute is passed to all descendant widget's .destroy() method. Not for use with _Templated widgets.

destroyRecursive(preserveDom)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Destroy this widget and its descendants

This is the generic "destructor" function that all widget users should call to cleanly discard with a widget. Once a widget is destroyed, it is removed from the manager object.

Parameter Type Description
preserveDom Boolean
Optional

If true, this method will leave the original DOM structure alone of descendant Widgets. Note: This will NOT work with dijit._TemplatedMixin widgets.

destroyRendering(preserveDom)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Destroys the DOM nodes associated with this widget.

Parameter Type Description
preserveDom Boolean
Optional

If true, this method will leave the original DOM structure alone during tear-down. Note: this will not work with _Templated widgets yet.

disconnect(handle)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use handle.remove() instead.

Disconnects handle created by connect.

Parameter Type Description
handle undefined
emit(type,eventObj,callbackArgs)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Used by widgets to signal that a synthetic event occurred, ex:

myWidget.emit("attrmodified-selectedChildWidget", {}).

Emits an event on this.domNode named type.toLowerCase(), based on eventObj. Also calls onType() method, if present, and returns value from that method. By default passes eventObj to callback, but will pass callbackArgs instead, if specified. Modifies eventObj by adding missing parameters (bubbles, cancelable, widget).

Parameter Type Description
type String
eventObj Object
Optional
callbackArgs Array
Optional
Returns:undefined
findAppBars()

Search for application-specific header or footer.

findDisp(node)

Finds the currently displayed view node from my sibling nodes.

Parameter Type Description
node DomNode
Returns:null | DomNode | undefined
flashScrollBar()

Shows the scroll bar instantly.

This function shows the scroll bar, and then hides it 300ms later. This is used to show the scroll bar to the user for a short period of time when a hidden view is revealed.

get(name)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Get a property from a widget.

Get a named property from a widget. The property may potentially be retrieved via a getter method. If no getter is defined, this just retrieves the object's property.

For example, if the widget has properties foo and bar and a method named _getFooAttr(), calling: myWidget.get("foo") would be equivalent to calling widget._getFooAttr() and myWidget.get("bar") would be equivalent to the expression widget.bar2

Parameter Type Description
name undefined

The property to get.

Returns:undefined
getChildren()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Returns all direct children of this widget, i.e. all widgets underneath this.containerNode whose parent is this widget. Note that it does not return all descendants, but rather just direct children. Analogous to Node.childNodes, except containing widgets rather than DOMNodes.

The result intentionally excludes internally created widgets (a.k.a. supporting widgets) outside of this.containerNode.

Note that the array returned is a simple array. Application code should not assume existence of methods like forEach().

Returns:Array
getDim()

Returns various internal dimensional information needed for calculation.

Returns:object
getIndexInParent()
Defined by dijit/_Contained

Returns the index of this widget within its container parent. It returns -1 if the parent does not exist, or if the parent is not a dijit/_Container

Returns:number | undefined
getNextSibling()
Defined by dijit/_Contained

Returns an object that indicates the scrolling speed.

From the position and elapsed time information, calculates the scrolling speed, and returns an object with x and y.

Returns:object
hideScrollBar()

Hides the scroll bar.

If the fadeScrollBar property is true, hides the scroll bar with the fade animation.

init(params)

Initialize according to the given params.

Mixes in the given params into this instance. At least domNode and containerNode have to be given. Starts listening to the touchstart events. Calls resize(), if this widget is a top level widget.

Parameter Type Description
params Object
Optional
isFocusable()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Return true if this widget can currently be focused and false if not

Returns:undefined
isFormElement(node)

Returns true if the given node is a form control.

Parameter Type Description
node DOMNode
Returns:boolean
isLeftToRight()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Return this widget's explicit or implicit orientation (true for LTR, false for RTL)

Returns:undefined
isTopLevel(e)

Returns true if this is a top-level widget. Overrides dojox/mobile/scrollable.

Parameter Type Description
e undefined
Returns:boolean
makeTranslateStr(to)

Constructs a string value that is passed to the -webkit-transform property.

Return value example: "translate3d(0px,-8px,0px)"

Parameter Type Description
to Object

The destination position. An object with x and/or y.

Returns:string
on(type,func)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Call specified function when event occurs, ex: myWidget.on("click", function(){ ... }).

Call specified function when event type occurs, ex: myWidget.on("click", function(){ ... }). Note that the function is not run in any particular scope, so if (for example) you want it to run in the widget's scope you must do myWidget.on("click", lang.hitch(myWidget, func)).

Parameter Type Description
type String | Function

Name of event (ex: "click") or extension event like touch.press.

func Function
Returns:undefined
own()
Defined by dijit/Destroyable

Track specified handles and remove/destroy them when this instance is destroyed, unless they were already removed/destroyed manually.

Returns:any | undefined

The array of specified handles, so you can do for example:

var handle = this.own(on(...))[0];
placeAt(reference,position)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Place this widget somewhere in the DOM based on standard domConstruct.place() conventions.

A convenience function provided in all _Widgets, providing a simple shorthand mechanism to put an existing (or newly created) Widget somewhere in the dom, and allow chaining.

Parameter Type Description
reference String | DomNode | DocumentFragment | dijit/_WidgetBase

Widget, DOMNode, DocumentFragment, or id of widget or DOMNode

position String | Int
Optional

If reference is a widget (or id of widget), and that widget has an ".addChild" method, it will be called passing this widget instance into that method, supplying the optional position index passed. In this case position (if specified) should be an integer.

If reference is a DOMNode (or id matching a DOMNode but not a widget), the position argument can be a numeric index or a string "first", "last", "before", or "after", same as dojo/dom-construct::place().

Returns:dijit/_WidgetBase | function

Provides a useful return of the newly created dijit._Widget instance so you can "chain" this function by instantiating, placing, then saving the return value to a variable.

Examples

Example 1

// create a Button with no srcNodeRef, and place it in the body:
var button = new Button({ label:"click" }).placeAt(win.body());
// now, 'button' is still the widget reference to the newly created button
button.on("click", function(e){ console.log('click'); }));

Example 2

// create a button out of a node with id="src" and append it to id="wrapper":
var button = new Button({},"src").placeAt("wrapper");

Example 3

// place a new button as the first element of some div
var button = new Button({ label:"click" }).placeAt("wrapper","first");

Example 4

// create a contentpane and add it to a TabContainer
var tc = dijit.byId("myTabs");
new ContentPane({ href:"foo.html", title:"Wow!" }).placeAt(tc)
postCreate()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Processing after the DOM fragment is created

Called after the DOM fragment has been created, but not necessarily added to the document. Do not include any operations which rely on node dimensions or placement.

postMixInProperties()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Called after the parameters to the widget have been read-in, but before the widget template is instantiated. Especially useful to set properties that are referenced in the widget template.

postscript(params,srcNodeRef)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Kicks off widget instantiation. See create() for details.

Parameter Type Description
params Object
Optional
srcNodeRef DomNode | String
removeCover()

Removes the transparent DIV cover.

resetScrollBar()

Resets the scroll bar length, position, etc.

resize()

Calls resize() of each child widget.

scrollIntoView(node,alignWithTop,duration)

Scrolls the pane until the searching node is in the view.

Just like the scrollIntoView method of DOM elements, this function causes the given node to scroll into view, aligning it either at the top or bottom of the pane.

Parameter Type Description
node DOMNode

A DOM node to be searched for view.

alignWithTop Boolean
Optional

If true, aligns the node at the top of the pane. If false, aligns the node at the bottom of the pane.

duration Number
Optional

Duration of scrolling in seconds. (ex. 0.3) If not specified, scrolls without animation.

scrollScrollBarTo(to)

Moves the scroll bar(s) to the given position without animation.

Parameter Type Description
to Object

The destination position. An object with x and/or y. ex. {x:2, y:5}, {y:20}, etc.

scrollTo(to,doNotMoveScrollBar,node)

Scrolls to the given position immediately without animation.

Parameter Type Description
to Object

The destination position. An object with x and y. ex. {x:0, y:-5}

doNotMoveScrollBar Boolean
Optional

If true, the scroll bar will not be updated. If not specified, it will be updated.

node DomNode
Optional

A DOM node to scroll. If not specified, defaults to this.containerNode.

set(name,value)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Set a property on a widget

Sets named properties on a widget which may potentially be handled by a setter in the widget.

For example, if the widget has properties foo and bar and a method named _setFooAttr(), calling myWidget.set("foo", "Howdy!") would be equivalent to calling widget._setFooAttr("Howdy!") and myWidget.set("bar", 3) would be equivalent to the statement widget.bar = 3;

set() may also be called with a hash of name/value pairs, ex:

myWidget.set({
    foo: "Howdy",
    bar: 3
});

This is equivalent to calling set(foo, "Howdy") and set(bar, 3)

Parameter Type Description
name undefined

The property to set.

value undefined

The value to set in the property.

Returns:function | string

Set a property on a widget

setKeyframes(from,to,idx)

Programmatically sets key frames for the scroll animation.

Parameter Type Description
from Object
to Object
idx Number
setSelectable(node,selectable)

Sets the given node as selectable or unselectable.

Parameter Type Description
node DomNode
selectable Boolean
showScrollBar()

Shows the scroll bar.

This function creates the scroll bar instance if it does not exist yet, and calls resetScrollBar() to reset its length and position.

slideScrollBarTo(to,duration,easing)

Moves the scroll bar(s) to the given position with the slide animation.

Parameter Type Description
to Object

The destination position. An object with x and y. ex. {x:0, y:-5}

duration Number

Duration of the animation in seconds. (ex. 0.3)

easing String

The name of easing effect which webkit supports. "ease", "linear", "ease-in", "ease-out", etc.

slideTo(to,duration,easing)

Scrolls to the given position with the slide animation.

Parameter Type Description
to Object

The scroll destination position. An object with x and/or y. ex. {x:0, y:-5}, {y:-29}, etc.

duration Number

Duration of scrolling in seconds. (ex. 0.3)

easing String

The name of easing effect which webkit supports. "ease", "linear", "ease-in", "ease-out", etc.

startup()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Processing after the DOM fragment is added to the document

Called after a widget and its children have been created and added to the page, and all related widgets have finished their create() cycle, up through postCreate().

Note that startup() may be called while the widget is still hidden, for example if the widget is inside a hidden dijit/Dialog or an unselected tab of a dijit/layout/TabContainer. For widgets that need to do layout, it's best to put that layout code inside resize(), and then extend dijit/layout/_LayoutWidget so that resize() is called when the widget is visible.

stopAnimation()

Stops the currently running animation.

subscribe(t,method)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use this.own(topic.subscribe()) instead.

Subscribes to the specified topic and calls the specified method of this object and registers for unsubscribe() on widget destroy.

Provide widget-specific analog to dojo.subscribe, except with the implicit use of this widget as the target object.

Parameter Type Description
t String

The topic

method Function

The callback

Returns:undefined

Examples

Example 1

var btn = new Button();
// when /my/topic is published, this button changes its label to
// be the parameter of the topic.
btn.subscribe("/my/topic", function(v){
    this.set("label", v);
});
toString()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Returns a string that represents the widget.

When a widget is cast to a string, this method will be used to generate the output. Currently, it does not implement any sort of reversible serialization.

Returns:string
uninitialize()
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Deprecated. Override destroy() instead to implement custom widget tear-down behavior.

Returns:boolean
unsubscribe(handle)
Defined by dijit/_WidgetBase

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use handle.remove() instead.

Unsubscribes handle created by this.subscribe. Also removes handle from this widget's list of subscriptions

Parameter Type Description
handle Object
watch(name,callback)
Defined by dojo/Stateful

Watches a property for changes

Parameter Type Description
name String
Optional

Indicates the property to watch. This is optional (the callback may be the only parameter), and if omitted, all the properties will be watched

callback Function

The function to execute when the property changes. This will be called after the property has been changed. The callback will be called with the |this| set to the instance, the first argument as the name of the property, the second argument as the old value and the third argument as the new value.

Returns:any | object

An object handle for the watch. The unwatch method of this object can be used to discontinue watching this property:

var watchHandle = obj.watch("foo", callback);
watchHandle.unwatch(); // callback won't be called now
