public class Select<T>
extends FormComponent<T>

Component that represents a <select> box. Elements are provided by one or more SelectOptions components in the hierarchy below the Select component. Advantages to the standard choice components is that the user has a lot more control over the markup between the <select> tag and its children <option> tags: allowing for such things as <optgroup> tags.

Example HTML:

    <select wicket:id="select" multiple="multiple">
        <wicket:container wicket:id="options">
            <option wicket:id="option">Option Label</option>
        </wicket:container>
    </select>
 

Related Java Code:

 Select select = new Select("select", selectionModel);
 add(select);
 SelectOptions options = new SelectOptions("options", elements, renderer);
 select.add(options);
 

Note that you don't need to add component(s) for the <option> tag - they are created by SelectOptions

Note: due to the usage of a SelectOption for each <option> the memory footprint of the page will grow with the number of <option>s you need. Consider using DropDownChoice component if it is able to fulfill your requirements.

Constructor Details

Select

public Select(String id)

Constructor that will create a default model collection

Parameters:

id - component id

Select

public Select(String id,
 IModel<T> model)

Parameters:

id -

model -

See Also:

• WebMarkupContainer(String, IModel)

Method Details

getModelValue

protected String getModelValue()

Overrides:

getModelValue in class FormComponent<T>

Returns:

Value to return when model value is needed

convertInput

public void convertInput()

Description copied from class: FormComponent

Converts and validates the conversion of the raw input string into the object specified by FormComponent.getType() and records any thrown ConversionExceptions. Converted value is available through FormComponent.getConvertedInput().

Usually the user should do custom conversions by specifying an IConverter by registering it with the application by overriding Application.getConverterLocator(), or at the component level by overriding Component.getConverter(Class) .

DO NOT CALL THIS METHOD DIRECTLY UNLESS YOU ARE SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. USUALLY UPDATING YOUR MODEL IS HANDLED BY THE FORM, NOT DIRECTLY BY YOU.

Overrides:

convertInput in class FormComponent<T>

See Also:

• IConverterLocator
• Application.newConverterLocator()
• IConverter.convertToObject(String, Locale)
• FormComponent.newValidationError(ConversionException)

updateModel

public void updateModel()

Description copied from class: FormComponent

Updates this components model from the request, it expects that the object is already converted through the convertInput() call that is called by the validate() method when a form is being processed. By default it just does this:

 setModelObject(getConvertedInput());
 

DO NOT CALL THIS METHOD DIRECTLY UNLESS YOU ARE SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. USUALLY UPDATING YOUR MODEL IS HANDLED BY THE FORM, NOT DIRECTLY BY YOU.

Specified by:

updateModel in interface IFormModelUpdateListener

Overrides:

updateModel in class FormComponent<T>

See Also:

• FormComponent.updateModel()

isSelected

protected boolean isSelected(IModel<?> model)

Does the given model contain a selected value.

Parameters:

model - model to test on selection

Returns:

selected
