Methods

_addShimResizeHandlers

private void _addShimResizeHandlers ( )
Sets up event listeners to resize the shim when the size of the Widget changes.

_afterShimChange

protected void _afterShimChange ( e )
Default attribute change listener for the shim attribute, responsible for updating the UI, in response to attribute changes.
Parameters:
e <EventFacade> The event facade for the attribute change

_afterZIndexChange

protected void _afterZIndexChange ( e )
Default attribute change listener for the zIndex attribute, responsible for updating the UI, in response to attribute changes.
Parameters:
e <EventFacade> The event facade for the attribute change

_bindUIStack

protected void _bindUIStack ( )
Binds event listeners responsible for updating the UI state in response to Widget stack related state changes.

This method is invoked after bindUI is invoked for the Widget class using YUI's aop infrastructure.

_destroyShim

private void _destroyShim ( )
Removes the shim from the DOM, and detaches any related event listeners.

_detachStackHandles

private void _detachStackHandles ( String )
