Property Details

attributes property
public array $attributes;

list of attributes (name=>value) for the HTML element represented by this object.

parent property read-only
public mixed getParent()

the direct parent of this element. This could be either a CForm object or a CBaseController object (a controller or a widget).

visible property
public boolean getVisible()
public void setVisible(boolean $value)

Returns a value indicating whether this element is visible and should be rendered. This method will call evaluateVisible to determine the visibility of this element.

Method Details

__construct() method
public void __construct(mixed $config, mixed $parent)
$config mixed the configuration for this element.
$parent mixed the direct parent of this element.
Source Code: framework/web/form/CFormElement.php#46 (show)
public function __construct($config,$parent)
{
    $this->configure($config);
    $this->_parent=$parent;
}

__get() method
public mixed __get(string $name)
$name string the property or attribute name
{return} mixed the property or attribute value
Source Code: framework/web/form/CFormElement.php#77 (show)
public function __get($name)
{
    $getter='get'.$name;
    if(method_exists($this,$getter))
        return $this->$getter();
    elseif(isset($this->attributes[$name]))
        return $this->attributes[$name];
    else
        throw new CException(Yii::t('yii','Property "{class}.{property}" is not defined.',
            array('{class}'=>get_class($this), '{property}'=>$name)));
}

Returns a property value or an attribute value. Do not call this method. This is a PHP magic method that we override to allow using the following syntax to read a property or attribute: 

$value=$element->propertyName;
$value=$element->attributeName;

public boolean __isset(string $name)
$name string the property or attribute name
{return} boolean

    elseif(isset($this->attributes[$name]))
        return isset($this->attributes[$name]);
    else
        return false;
}

Checks a property value or an attribute value on existence or not null Do not call this method. This is a PHP magic method that we override to allow using the following syntax to read a property or attribute: 

isset($element->propertyName);

__set() method
public void __set(string $name, mixed $value)
$name string the property or attribute name
$value mixed the property or attribute value
Source Code: framework/web/form/CFormElement.php#122 (show)

{return} string the string representation of this object.
Source Code: framework/web/form/CFormElement.php#59 (show)
public function __toString()
{
    return $this->render();
}

Converts the object to a string. This is a PHP magic method. The default implementation simply calls render and return the rendering result.

public function configure($config)
{
    if(is_string($config))

}

Configures this object with property initial values.

Source Code: framework/web/form/CFormElement.php#184 (show)
protected function evaluateVisible()
{
    return true;
}

Evaluates the visibility of this element. Child classes should override this method to implement the actual algorithm for determining the visibility.

getParent() method
public mixed getParent()
{return} mixed the direct parent of this element. This could be either a CForm object or a CBaseController object (a controller or a widget).
Source Code: framework/web/form/CFormElement.php#173 (show)

{
    if($this->_visible===null)
        $this->_visible=$this->evaluateVisible();
