Unsupported agents: pda

The activeCommandToolbarButton creates a button in a toolbar. It is normally used inside of a <af:toolbar> component. activeCommandToolbarButtons are not rendered on printable pages.

Events

Type Phases Description
javax.faces.event.ActionEvent Invoke Application,
Apply Request Values
Event delivered when the "action" of the component has been invoked; for example, by clicking on a button. The action may result in page navigation.
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.ReturnEvent Apply Request Values Event delivered when the dialog has completed successfully.
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.LaunchEvent Invoke Application,
Apply Request Values
Event delivered to prompt the command to launch a dialog.
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent Invoke Application,
Apply Request Values
Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

Supported Facets

Name Description
popup The popup displayed by this toolbar button.

Attributes

Name Type Supports EL? Description
accessKey char Yes character used to gain quick access to this item. For accessibility reasons, this functionality is not supported in screen reader mode.

If the same access key appears in multiple locations in the same page of output, the rendering user agent will cycle among the elements accessed by the similar keys. Note that user agents are inconsistent about dealing with two links having same access key, and so the cycling behavior is dependent on what the user agent provides.

This attribute is sometimes referred to as the "mnemonic".

The character specified by this attribute must exist in the text attribute of this item instance. If it does not, the user will receive no visual indication of the existence of the accessKey. The easiest, and most convenient way to specify both the text and the mnemonic together is to use textAndAccessKey.

Note that the accessKey is triggered by browser-specific and platform-specific modifier keys. It even has browser-specific meaning. For example, Internet Explorer 7.0 will set focus when you press Alt+<accessKey>. Firefox 2.0 on some operating systems you press Alt+Shift+<accessKey>. Firefox 2.0 on other operating systems you press Control+<accessKey>. Refer to your browser's documentation for how it treats accessKey.

action javax.el.MethodExpression Yes a reference to an action method sent by the command component, or the static outcome of an action
actionListener javax.faces.el.MethodBinding Only EL a method reference to an action listener
attributeChangeListener javax.el.MethodExpression Only EL a method reference to an attribute change listener. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.
binding oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.nav.RichActiveCommandToolbarButton Only EL an EL reference that will store the component instance on a bean. This can be used to give programmatic access to a component from a backing bean, or to move creation of the component to a backing bean.
clientComponent boolean Yes whether a client-side component will be generated. A component may be generated whether or not this flag is set, but if client Javascript requires the component object, this must be set to true to guarantee the component's presence. Client component objects that are generated today by default may not be present in the future; setting this flag is the only way to guarantee a component's presence, and clients cannot rely on implicit behavior. However, there is a performance cost to setting this flag, so clients should avoid turning on client components unless absolutely necessary.
customizationId String Yes The id used to locate this component when applying persistent customizations. Components without a customizationId set can not save customizations to the persistent store. Instead, any customizations will at most only apply to the current Session. Each customizationId must be unique in the document.
depressedIcon String Yes the URI of the image displayed with this toolbar button when the mouse has pressed the button.
disabled boolean Yes whether the component is interactive or not. The default value is "false" and component assumes its expected behavior.
disabledIcon String Yes the URI of the image displayed with this toolbar button when the button is disabled.
hoverIcon String Yes the URI of the image displayed with this toolbar button when the mouse is hovering over the button.
icon String Yes a URI specifying the location of a toolbar image.
id String No the identifier for the component. The identifier must follow a subset of the syntax allowed in HTML:
  • Must not be a zero-length String.
  • First character must be an ASCII letter (A-Za-z) or an underscore ('_').
  • Subsequent characters must be an ASCII letter or digit (A-Za-z0-9), an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-').
immediate boolean Yes whether data validation - client-side or server-side - will be skipped when events are generated by this component. When immediate is true, the command's action and ActionListeners, including the default ActionListener provided by the JavaServer Faces implementation, will be executed during Apply Request Values phase of the request processing lifecycle, rather than waiting until the Invoke Application phase. Because validation runs during Process Validators (after Apply Request Values, but before Invoke Application), setting immediate to true will skip validation.
inlineStyle String Yes the CSS styles to use for this component. This is intended for basic style changes. The inlineStyle is a set of CSS styles that are applied to the root DOM element of the component. If the inlineStyle's css properties do not affect the DOM element you want affected, then you will have to create a skin and use the skinning keys which are meant to target particular DOM elements, like ::label or ::icon-style.
launchListener javax.el.MethodExpression Only EL a method reference to a launch listener
partialSubmit boolean Yes whether the action should be done through a partial page submit or not. The default is true for activeCommandToolBarButton, so be sure to specify partialTriggers if content needs to be updated.
partialTriggers String[] Yes the IDs of the components that should trigger a partial update. This component will listen on the trigger components. If one of the trigger components receives an event that will cause it to update in some way, this component will request to be updated too. Identifiers are relative to the source component, and must account for NamingContainers. If your component is already inside of a naming container, you can use a single colon to start the search from the root, or multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainers - "::" will search from the parent naming container, ":::" will search from the grandparent naming container, etc.
rendered boolean Yes whether the component is rendered. When set to false, no output will be delivered for this component.
returnListener javax.el.MethodExpression Only EL a method reference to an return listener
selected boolean Yes whether the item is selected, for buttons of type radio or check. For radio buttons, there is no server model implemented for handling mutual exclusivity. If a user clicks a new button, the old selection will be unselected. If you programatically call setSelected(true) from code, you must call setSelected(false) on the prior selection as well.
shortDesc String Yes the short description of the component. This text is commonly used by user agents to display tooltip help text. For form components, this is displayed in the note window.
styleClass String Yes a CSS style class to use for this component.
text String Yes the text displayed in the toolbar item.
type String Yes Valid Values: default, check, radio

the type of the toolbar button.
useWindow boolean Yes whether processes launched by this command should be launched in a secondary dialog window. 'useWindow' works only in the case of dialogs i.e, if the "action" starts with a "dialog:". Set useWindow to 'false' for the dialog to be opened in the existing window.
visible boolean Yes the visibility of the component. If it is "false", the component will be hidden on the client. Unlike "rendered", this does not affect the lifecycle on the server - the component may have its bindings executed, etc. - and the visibility of the component can be toggled on and off on the client, or toggled with PPR. When "rendered" is false, the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client.
Not supported on the following renderkits: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core
windowHeight int Yes the height of the window, if this command is used to launch a window.
windowWidth int Yes the width of the window, if this command is used to launch a window.
