In addition to directly typing tags in the ZUL Editor, ZUL Palette provides a drag-and-drop feature to insert components. You can open the ZUL palette by going to Window\Show View\Others, and selecting ZK \ ZUL Palette.

Drag & Drop Support

You can select a component in the ZUL Palette and drag it into the ZUL Editor. When you drop that component into a proper place, it will insert corresponding tag into that location in the ZUL. You can also drag an item into outline view of a zul, ZK Studio will insert the component tag into the mapping position of the ZUL and the outline view will change accordingly.

Name Filtering

The ZUL Palette supports ZUML tag name filtering. Upon typing a component’s name into the filter text box to search, the palette will filter listed components automatically.
