The Pop-up Form Control

The oxy_popup built-in form control is used to offer a contextual menu that provides quick access to various actions. A pop-up form control can display single or multiple selections.

The oxy_popup form control supports the following properties:

edit - Lets you edit the value of an attribute, the text content of an element, or Processing Instructions (PI). This property can have the following values:
- @attribute_name - The name of the attribute whose value is being edited. If the attribute is in a namespace, the value of the property must be a QName and the CSS must have a namespace declaration for the prefix.
- #text - Specifies that the presented/edited value is the simple text value of an element.
  Note: You can set the value of the visibility property to -oxy-collapse-text to render the text only in the form control that the oxy_editor function specifies.
rows - This property specifies the number of rows that the form control presents.
Note: If the value of the rows property is not specified, the default value of 12 is used.
color - Specifies the foreground color of the form control. If the value of the color property is inherit, the form control has the same color as the element in which it is inserted.
Note: This property is used for rendering in the Author mode.
visible - Specifies whether or not the form control is visible. The possible values of this property are true (the form control is visible) and false (the form control is not visible).
tooltips - Associates tooltips to each value in the values property. The value of this property is a list of tooltips separated by commas. If you want the tooltip to display a comma, use the ${comma} variable.
values - Specifies the values that are committed when the check-boxes are selected. If these values are not specified in the CSS, they are collected from the associated XML Schema.
resultSeparator - If multiple check-boxes are used, the separator is used to compose the final result.
Note: The value of the resultSeparator property cannot exceed one character.
selectionMode - Specifies whether the form control allows the selection of a single value or multiple values. The predefined values of this property are single and multiple.
labels - Specifies the label associated with each entry used for presentation. If this property is not specified, the values property is used instead.
columns - Controls the width of the form control. The unit size is the width of the w character. This property is used for the visual representation of the form control.
width - Specifies the width of the content area using relative (em, ex), absolute (in, cm, mm, pt, pc, px), and percentage (followed by the % character) length units. The width property takes precedence over the columns property (if the two are used together).
rendererSort - Allows you to sort the values rendered on the form control label. The possible values of this property are ascending and descending.
editorSort - Allows you to sort the values rendered on the form control. The possible values of this property are ascending and descending.
rendererSeparator - Defines a separator used when multiple values are rendered.
fontInherit - This value specifies whether the form control inherits its font from its parent element. The values of this property can be true or false.
Note: To make the Pop-up form control inherit its font from its parent element, set the fontInherit property to true.

Tip: In the subsequent example, the value of the fontInherit property is true, which means the pop-up form control inherits the font size of 30px from the font-size property.
hoverPseudoclassName - Allows you to change the way an element is rendered when you hover over a form control. The value is the name of a CSS pseudo class. When you hover over the form control, the specified pseudo class will be set on the element that contains the form control.
```
p:before {
  content: oxy_button(hoverPseudoclassName, 'showBorder')
}
p:showBorder {
  border: 1px solid red;
}
```

    content: " This editor edits an attribute value. The possible values are     specified
    inside the CSS: "
        oxy_popup(
            edit, "@attribute",
            values, "value1, value2, value3, value4, value5",
            labels, "Value no1, Value no2, Value no3, Value no4, Value no5",
            resultSeparator, "|",
            columns, 10,
            selectionMode, "multiple",
            fontInherit, true);
    font-size:30px;
}

Note: You can use the Content Completion Assistant in the CSS or LESS editor to easily insert a sample of the form control by selecting the corresponding code template. The form control code templates are displayed with a

symbol in the content complete list.

Tip: To insert a sample of the oxy_popup form control, invoke the Content Completion Assistant by pressing Ctrl Space (Command Space on OS X) and select the
