how to use html:label in java file

Question

Hi,

How do I use html:label in java file?

Say, I want to produce the following from my java file:

<html:label> test label </html:label> 

I tried this:

import org.zkoss.zul.Html;

public class TestLabel {

private Label testLabel;

TestLabel() {

testLabel.setTextContent("test label");

}

}

This throws an error as there is no such method as setTextContent for a label. Which method do I use to achieve this?

Thanks, Sony

Answer 1

setValue(String value)?

Answer 2

Hi,

I am using a Zhtml Label rather than a regular Html Label. So, what I did is I added a regular Html child to Zhtml Label. Meaning,

public class TestLabel {

private org.zkoss.zhtml.Label testLabel;

TestLabel() {
Html update = new Html("a");
testLabel.appendChild(update);
testLabel.setVisible(true);

}

}

The above is just a small test case. But, originally the purpose of doing this is to send the id of a Zhtml label to the java file and perform operations on zhtml label when a particular condition is met. Next, the client performs other operations such as clearing a cache when this zhtml label changes.
