Header

public class
feathers.controls.Header

Description

A header that displays an optional title along with a horizontal regions on the sides for additional UI controls. The left side is typically for navigation (to display a back button, for example) and the right for additional actions. The title is displayed in the center by default, but it may be aligned to the left or right if there are no items on the desired side.

In the following example, a header is created, given a title, and a back button:

var backButton:Button = new Button();
backButton.label = "Back";
backButton.nameList.add( Button.ALTERNATE_NAME_BACK_BUTTON );
backButton.addEventListener( Event.TRIGGERED, backButton_triggeredHandler );

var header:Header = new Header();
header.title = "I'm a header";
header.leftItems = new <DisplayObject>[ backButton ];
this.addChild( header );

If depthSort is enabled on parent, this will be used to establish draw order. Higher values are drawn closer. Matching values have undefined order.

depthSort: Boolean
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

If depth sorting enabled, direct children will use their depth property to establish draw order.

focusIndicatorSkin: DisplayObject
Inherited from FeathersControl

If this component supports focus, this optional skin will be displayed above the component when showFocus() is called. The focus indicator skin is not always displayed when the component has focus. Typically, if the component receives focus from a touch, the focus indicator is not displayed.

The touchable of this skin will always be set to false so that it does not "steal" touches from the component or its sub-components. This skin will not affect the dimensions of the component or its hit area. It is simply a visual indicator of focus.

focusManager: IFocusManager
Inherited from FeathersControl

The current focus manager for this component.

focusPadding: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

Quickly sets all focus padding properties to the same value. The focusPadding getter always returns the value of focusPaddingTop, but the other focus padding values may be different.

The following example gives the button 2 pixels of focus padding on all sides:

object.padding = 2;

focusPaddingBottom: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

The minimum space, in pixels, between the object's bottom edge and the bottom edge of the focus indicator skin. A negative value may be used to expand the focus indicator skin outside the bounds of the object.

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the bottom edge only:

button.focusPaddingBottom = -2;

focusPaddingLeft: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

The minimum space, in pixels, between the object's left edge and the left edge of the focus indicator skin. A negative value may be used to expand the focus indicator skin outside the bounds of the object.

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the right edge only:

button.focusPaddingLeft = -2;

focusPaddingRight: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

The minimum space, in pixels, between the object's right edge and the right edge of the focus indicator skin. A negative value may be used to expand the focus indicator skin outside the bounds of the object.

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the right edge only:

button.focusPaddingRight = -2;

focusPaddingTop: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

The minimum space, in pixels, between the object's top edge and the top edge of the focus indicator skin. A negative value may be used to expand the focus indicator skin outside the bounds of the object.

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the top edge only:

button.focusPaddingTop = -2;

gap: Number

Space, in pixels, between items. The same value is used with the leftItems and rightItems.

Set the titleGap to make the gap on the left and right of the title use a different value.

In the following example, the header's gap between items is set to 20 pixels:

header.gap = 20;

isQuickHitAreaEnabled: Boolean
Inherited from FeathersControl

Similar to mouseChildren on the classic display list. If true, children cannot dispatch touch events, but hit tests will be much faster.

layoutData: ILayoutData
Inherited from FeathersControl

Extra parameters associated with this display object that will be used by the layout algorithm.

leftItems: Vector.<DisplayObject>

The UI controls that appear in the left region of the header.

header.leftItems = new &lt;DisplayObject&gt;[ backButton ];

maxHeight: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

Inherited from DisplayObject

The name of the display object (default: null). Used by 'getChildByName()' of display object containers.

nameList: TokenList
Inherited from FeathersControl

read-only

Contains a list of all "names" assigned to this control. Names are like classes in CSS selectors. They are a non-unique identifier that can differentiate multiple styles of the same type of UI control. A single control may have many names, and many controls can share a single name. Names may be added, removed, or toggled on the nameList.

Inherited from FeathersControl

The previous object that will receive focus when the tab key is pressed while holding shift. If null, defaults to the previous child on the display list.

rightItems: Vector.<DisplayObject>

The UI controls that appear in the right region of the header.

In the following example, a settings button is displayed on the right side of the header:

var settingsButton:Button = new Button();

The root object the display object is connected to (ie: an instance of the class that was passed to the Starling constructor), or null if the object is not connected to the stage.

rotation: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The rotation of the object in radians, (In Loom2D, all angles are measured in radians.)

scale: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

General scale factor. '1' means no scale, negative values flip the object. Use this when setting scaleX/scaleY explicitly is too verbose.

scaleX: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The horizontal scale factor. '1' means no scale, negative values flip the object.

scaleY: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The vertical scale factor. '1' means no scale, negative values flip the object.

skewX: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The horizontal skew angle in radians.

skewY: Number

styleName: String
Inherited from DisplayObject

The style name used by the CSS system.

title: String

The text displayed for the header's title.

In the following example, the header's title is set:

header.title = "I'm a Header";

titleAlign: String
The default value is TITLE_ALIGN_CENTER

The preferred position of the title. If leftItems and/or rightItems is defined, the title may be forced to the center even if the preferred position is on the left or right.

In the following example, the header's title aligment is set to prefer the left side:

header.titleAlign = Header.TITLE_ALIGN_PREFER_LEFT;

See also:
#TITLE_ALIGN_CENTER
#TITLE_ALIGN_PREFER_LEFT
#TITLE_ALIGN_PREFER_RIGHT

titleFactory: Function

A function used to instantiate the header's title text renderer sub-component. By default, the header will use the global text renderer factory, FeathersControl.defaultTextRendererFactory(), to create the title text renderer. The title text renderer must be an instance of ITextRenderer. This factory can be used to change properties on the title text renderer when it is first created. For instance, if you are skinning Feathers components without a theme, you might use this factory to style the title text renderer.

If you are not using a theme, the title factory can be used to provide skin the title with appropriate text styles.

The factory should have the following function signature:

function():ITextRenderer

In the following example, a custom title factory is passed to the header:

header.titleFactory = function():ITextRenderer {
    var titleRenderer:TextFieldTextRenderer = new TextFieldTextRenderer();
    titleRenderer.textFormat = new TextFormat( "_sans", 12, 0xff0000 );
    return titleRenderer;
}

feathers.core.ITextRenderer
feathers.core.FeathersControl#defaultTextRendererFactory
feathers.controls.text.BitmapFontTextRenderer
feathers.controls.text.TextFieldTextRenderer

titleGap: Number

Space, in pixels, between the title and the left or right groups of items. If NaN (the default), the regular gap property is used instead.

In the following example, the header's title gap is set to 20 pixels:

header.titleGap = 20;

See also:
#gap

titleProperties: Dictionary.<String, Object>

A set of key/value pairs to be passed down to the header's title. The title is an ITextRenderer instance. The available properties depend on which ITextRenderer implementation is returned by titleFactory. The most common implementations are BitmapFontTextRenderer and TextFieldTextRenderer.

In the following example, some properties are set for the header's title text renderer:

header.titleProperties.textFormat = new BitmapFontTextFormat( bitmapFont );
header.titleProperties.wordWrap = true;

If the subcomponent has its own subcomponents, their properties can be set too, using attribute &#64; notation. For example, to set the skin on the thumb of a SimpleScrollBar which is in a Scroller which is in a List, you can use the following syntax: list.scrollerProperties.&#64;verticalScrollBarProperties.&#64;thumbProperties.defaultSkin = new Image(texture);

Setting properties in a titleFactory function instead of using titleProperties will result in better performance.

touchable: Boolean
Inherited from DisplayObject

Indicates if this object (and its children) will receive touch events.

transformationMatrix: Matrix
Inherited from DisplayObject

The transformation matrix of the object relative to its parent.

If you assign a custom transformation matrix, Starling will try to figure out suitable values for x, y, scaleX, scaleY, and rotation. However, if the matrix was created in a different way, this might not be possible. In that case, Starling will apply the matrix, but not update the corresponding properties.

verticalAlign: String

The alignment of the items vertically, on the y-axis.

In the following example, the header's vertical alignment is set to the middle:

header.verticalAlign = Header.VERTICAL_ALIGN_MIDDLE;

visible: Boolean
Inherited from DisplayObject

The visibility of the object, An invisible object will be untouchable.

width: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The width of the object in pixels.

x: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The x coordinate of the object relative to the local coordinates of the parent.

y: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The y coordinate of the object relative to the local coordinates of the parent.

invalidate ( flag: String = ): Void
Inherited from FeathersControl

Call this function to tell the UI control that a redraw is pending. The redraw will happen immediately before Starling renders the UI control to the screen. The validation system exists to ensure that multiple properties can be set together without redrawing multiple times in between each property change.

If you cannot wait until later for the validation to happen, you can call validate() to redraw immediately. As an example, you might want to validate immediately if you need to access the correct width or height values of the UI control, since these values are calculated during validation.
