Code example

Sets or gets the docking layout's height.

Sets or gets the layout. This property determines the position of the docking layout elements and their characteristics. The first member of the layout array should always be an item of type 'layoutGroup'.

Each object in the layout array can have the following properties, with some restrictions based on the type :

• type. Possible values:
  • 'layoutGroup' - container for other groups. It has no visual features. The root item is always of this type.
  • 'tabbedGroup' - a group that contains layoutPanels. It is represented by a jqxWindow-like panel with a bottom-aligned jqxRibbon inside.
  • 'documentGroup' - a group that contains documentPanels. It is represented by a top-aligned jqxRibbon.
  • 'autoHideGroup' - a group that contains layoutPanels. It is represented by a jqxRibbon with mode: 'popup'. Each ribbon item has a jqxWindow-like panel in its content. This group has to be either the first or the last child item of its parent layoutGroup.
  • 'layoutPanel' - a panel that can be inserted in a tabbedGroup or autoHideGroup. When it is in a tabbedGroup it is represented by a ribbon item and in an autoHideGroup - by a jqxWindow-like panel inside a ribbon item.
  • 'documentPanel' - a panel that can be inserted in a documentGroup. It is represented by a ribbon item.
  • 'floatGroup' - a floating group that can contain a tabbedGroup or a layoutPanel. It is represented by a jqxWindow. Initial floatGroups have to be defined after the root layoutGroup in the layout array.
• alignment - sets the alignment of an autoHideGroup. Possible values:
  • 'left'
  • 'right'
  • 'top'
  • 'bottom'
• allowClose - applicable to tabbedGroups, floatGroups, layoutPanels and documentPanels. If set to false, the group/panel cannot be closed.
• allowPin - applicable only to tabbedGroups. If set to false, the group cannot be pinned.
• allowUnpin - applicable only to autoHideGroups. If set to false, the group cannot be unpinned.
• contentContainer - indicates which HTML element has the content of the panel. The required value is the value of an existing HTML element's data-container attribute. N/A to groups.
• height - sets the height of a group (N/A to panels). Used only if the parent group's orientation is 'vertical' or for floatGroups. The heights of all such groups have to be set either in pixels or percents (not a mix of both).
• initContent - a callback function to be called when a panel is opened for the first time. Useful for initializing widgets in panels. N/A to groups.
• minHeight - sets the minimumn height (in pixels) of a group which is vertically aligned within its parent group. Disregards the value of the minGroupHeight property.
• minWidth - sets the minimumn width (in pixels) of a group which is horizontally aligned within its parent group. Disregards the value of the minGroupWidth property.
• orientation - orients child items either horizontally or vertically. Applicable only to layoutGroups. Possible values:
  • 'horizontal'
  • 'vertical'
• pinnedHeight - sets what the height of a tabbedGroup will be after it is pinned.
• pinnedWidth - sets what the width of a tabbedGroup will be after it is pinned.
• position - sets the initial position of a floatGroup. The position property is an object with the following properties:
  • x
  • y
• selected - sets whether a panel is initially selected. N/A to groups.
• title - sets the title of a panel. Represented by the corresponding ribbon item's title. N/A to groups.
• unpinnedHeight - sets what the height of an autoHideGroup will be after it is unpinned.
• unpinnedWidth - sets what the width of an autoHideGroup will be after it is unpinned.
• width - sets the width of a group (N/A to panels). Used only if the parent group's orientation is 'horizontal' or for floatGroups. The widths of all such groups have to be set either in pixels or percents (not a mix of both).
• items - an array of item objects with the fields described above. N/A to panels.

Sets the default minimumn height for groups which are vertically aligned within their parent group.

Sets the default minimumn width for groups which are horizontally aligned within their parent group.

Sets or gets wheter panels can be dynamically resized.

Code example

Sets or gets a value indicating whether widget's elements are aligned to support locales using right-to-left fonts.

Code example

var rtl = $('#jqxDockingLayout').jqxDockingLayout('rtl'); 

Sets the widget's theme.

• Include the theme's CSS file after jqx.base.css.
  The following code example adds the 'material' theme.

  
                                                                                          
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.material.css" type="text/css" />
