However, it is mainly * used to submit data to a page. Like {@link TButton}, you can create either * a submit button or a command button. * * A command button has a command name (specified by * the {@link setCommandName CommandName} property) and and a command parameter * (specified by {@link setCommandParameter CommandParameter} property) * associated with the button. This allows you to create multiple TLinkButton * components on a Web page and programmatically determine which one is clicked * with what parameter. You can provide an event handler for * {@link onCommand OnCommand} event to programmatically control the actions performed * when the command button is clicked. In the event handler, you can determine * the {@link setCommandName CommandName} property value and * the {@link setCommandParameter CommandParameter} property value * through the {@link TCommandParameter::getName Name} and * {@link TCommandParameter::getParameter Parameter} properties of the event * parameter which is of type {@link TCommandEventParameter}. * * A submit button does not have a command name associated with the button * and clicking on it simply posts the Web page back to the server. * By default, a TLinkButton component is a submit button. * You can provide an event handler for the {@link onClick OnClick} event * to programmatically control the actions performed when the submit button is clicked. * * Clicking on button can trigger form validation, if * {@link setCausesValidation CausesValidation} is true. * And the validation may be restricted within a certain group of validator * controls by setting {@link setValidationGroup ValidationGroup} property. * If validation is successful, the data will be post back to the same page. * * TLinkButton will display the {@link setText Text} property value * as the hyperlink text. If {@link setText Text} is empty, the body content * of TLinkButton will be displayed. Therefore, you can use TLinkButton * as an image button by enclosing an <img> tag as the body of TLinkButton. * * @author Qiang Xue * @version $Revision: $ $Date: $ * @package System.Web.UI.WebControls * @since 3.0 */ class TLinkButton extends TWebControl implements IPostBackEventHandler { /** * @return string tag name of the button */ protected function getTagName() { return 'a'; } /** * Adds attribute name-value pairs to renderer. * This overrides the parent implementation with additional button specific attributes. * @param THtmlWriter the writer used for the rendering purpose */ protected function addAttributesToRender($writer) { $page=$this->getPage(); $page->ensureRenderInForm($this); $writer->addAttribute('id',$this->getClientID()); // We call parent implementation here because some attributes // may be overwritten in the following parent::addAttributesToRender($writer); if($this->getEnabled(true)) { //create unique no-op url references $nop = "#".$this->getClientID(); $writer->addAttribute('href', $nop); $this->getPage()->getClientScript()->registerPostBackControl($this); } else if($this->getEnabled()) // in this case, parent will not render 'disabled' $writer->addAttribute('disabled','disabled'); } /** * Returns postback specifications for the button. * This method is used by framework and control developers. * @return TPostBackOptions parameters about how the button defines its postback behavior. */ public function getPostBackOptions() { $options['EventTarget'] = $this->getUniqueID(); $options['CausesValidation'] = $this->getCausesValidation(); $options['ValidationGroup'] = $this->getValidationGroup(); $options['StopEvent'] = true; return $options; } /** * Renders the body content enclosed between the control tag. * If {@link getText Text} is not empty, it will be rendered.
