InheritanceWindowShade Inheritance mx.core.LayoutContainer

This control displays a button, which when clicked, will cause a panel to "unroll" beneath it like a windowshade being pulled down; or if the panel is already displayed it will be "rolled up" like a windowshade being rolled up. When multiple WindowShades are stacked in a VBox, the result will be similar to an mx.containers.Accordian container, except that multiple WindowShades can be opened simultaneously whereas an Accordian acts like a tab navigator, with only one panel visible at a time.

Property detail
headerLocationproperty
headerLocation:String  [read-write]

Specifies where the header button is placed relative tot he content of this WindowShade. Possible values are top and bottom.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
    public function get headerLocation():String
    public function set headerLocation(value:String):void
headerRendererproperty 
headerRenderer:IFactory  [read-write]

To control the header used on the WindowShade component you can either set the headerClass or the headerRenderer. The headerRenderer works similar to the itemRenderer of a List control. You can set this using MXML using any Button control. This would let you customize things like button skin. You could even combine this with the CanvasButton component to make complex headers.

Implementation
    public function get headerRenderer():IFactory
    public function set headerRenderer(value:IFactory):void
labelproperty 
label:String  [read-write]

The text that appears on the headerButton.

Implementation
