how to validate Radio button in GWT - gwt

I have two radio buttons and text field and i want to have validator that one radio checked, the text field must not be null.
Here is the code:
radio1 = new Radio();
radio1.setBoxLabel("yes");
radio1.setId("active");
radio1.setValue(false);
radio2 = new Radio();
radio2.setBoxLabel("no");
radio2.setId("deactive");
radio2.setValue(true);
final RadioGroup defaultRadioGroup = new RadioGroup();
defaultRadioGroup.setFieldLabel("activeا");
defaultRadioGroup.add(radio1);
defaultRadioGroup.add(radio2);
simpleForm.add(defaultRadioGroup, formData);
labelField = new TextField<String>();
labelField.setEmptyText("please insert value");
labelField.setReadOnly(true);

You should write a new Validator for the textbox and then call textbox.validate()
Other option is to check if your textbox class supports any utility method like "allowEmpty(boolean)"

Auto Selection on Eclipse Widget Combo option

I would like to select widget combo first option by default which is in read only mode.Any suggestion
The select method of Combo sets the selected item.
Combo combo = new Combo(parent, SWT.READ_ONLY | SWT.DROP_DOWN);
combo.setItems(... items array ....);
// Select first item
combo.select(0);
Note that this does not generate a selection changed event. To do that you need to use the notifyListeners call:
Event event = new Event();
event.widget = combo;
event.display = combo.getDisplay();
event.type = SWT.Selection;
combo.notifyListeners(SWT.Selection, event);

Change form item editor type dynamically in smartGwt

I have a smartGwt DynamicForm with a FormItem
FormItem item = createTextItem();
form.setFields(item);
After creating the and setting fields, I need to dynamically set an editor type for the item. I have to do it dynamically based on some conditions.
I'm calling item.setEditorType(new PasswordItem());
just after I call form.editRecord(record); so that the new editor type should appear. But it is not working.
Tried calling item.redraw() and is not working.
My goal is to set the editor type dynamically based on the record that is edited.Please help.
Try with Custom Data Binding (see page 23 for more details). What you tried won't work, AFAIK, because the ListGridField has already been created with the initial custom editor, and it can't be changed dynamically with setEditorCustomizer.
Take a look at this sample (based on this showcase demo), which does what you want to do to the password field when it is being edited in the DynamicForm, and after the changes have been saved (please pay attention to the comments, as without some of these settings it won't work as expected):
public void onModuleLoad() {
final DataSource dataSource = ItemSupplyLocalDS.getInstance();
final DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
form.setIsGroup(true);
form.setNumCols(4);
form.setDataSource(dataSource);
// very important for not having to set all fields all over again
// when the target field is customized
form.setUseAllDataSourceFields(true);
final ListGrid listGrid = new ListGrid();
listGrid.setWidth100();
listGrid.setHeight(200);
listGrid.setDataSource(dataSource);
listGrid.setAutoFetchData(true);
IButton editButton = new IButton("Edit");
editButton.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
form.editRecord(listGrid.getSelectedRecord());
// when the button is clicked, the password field is rendered with
// a plain text item editor, for easy verification of values entered
FormItem passwordField = new FormItem("passwordFieldName");
passwordField.setEditorProperties(new TextItem());
form.setFields(passwordField);
form.markForRedraw();
}
});
IButton saveButton = new IButton("Save");
saveButton.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
form.saveData();
// when the button is clicked, the password field is rendered with
// a password editor, for added privacy/security
FormItem passwordField = new FormItem("passwordFieldName");
passwordField.setEditorProperties(new PasswordItem());
form.setFields(passwordField);
form.markForRedraw();
}
});
VLayout layout = new VLayout(15);
layout.setWidth100();
layout.setHeight100();
layout.addMember(listGrid);
layout.addMember(editButton);
layout.addMember(form);
layout.addMember(saveButton);
layout.draw();
}

GWT - Can you nest FormPanels inside FormPanels?

I'm trying to nest a FormPanel inside another FormPanel. It seems that any field in the nested panel is never rendered.
This screenshot is produced by the code below it:
TabItem tabItem = new TabItem("Tab Item");
FormPanel formPanel = new FormPanel();
formPanel.setHeading("Form Panel");
formPanel.setFrame(true);
TextField textField = new TextField();
textField.setFieldLabel("Text Field");
FormPanel nestedPanel = new FormPanel();
nestedPanel.setHeading("Nested Panel");
TextField nestedField = new TextField();
nestedField.setFieldLabel("Nested Field");
nestedPanel.add(nestedField);
TextField anotherField = new TextField();
anotherField.setFieldLabel("Another Field");
formPanel.add(textField);
formPanel.add(nestedPanel);
formPanel.add(anotherField);
tabItem.add(formPanel);
tabPanel.add(tabItem);
Can anyone explain why the nested field does not show in the nested panel?
I've also tried using a CaptionPanel instead of a FormPanel as the nested panel, but the caption panel does not show the field label.
Any suggestions as to how I can get this to work would be most welcome. Thank you :)
As Jason mentioned, <form> cannot be nested. The GXT FormPanel draws a form as part of how it works, so consider drawing this layout in another way.
To emulate the appearance of the FormPanel, there are two basic steps.
To get the header, border, create a ContentPanel, and add the content to that
To get the GXT 2 layout of drawing the field labels, use a FormLayout in the content panel.
This will look something like this (from your example)
//...
ContentPanel nestedPanel = new ContentPanel(new FormLayout();
nestedPanel.setHeading("Nested Panel");
TextField nestedField = new TextField();
nestedField.setFieldLabel("Nested Field");
nestedPanel.add(nestedField);
//...
The outer field will still manage any binding, and the nested field will look as if they were in a FormPanel. If not using other features of the FormPanel, it may in general make more sense to use a ContentPanel (or LayoutContainer, if you don't want the border/header) with a FormLayout.

GXT Textfield postfix

I try to build a simple form.
Calc: [____] bar
So the Textfield with the prefix is no problem. But the postfix "bar". Currenty I have no idea to fix this problem. Here ist the current code:
TextField<String> field = new TextField<String>();
field.setFieldLabel("Calc");
field.setAllowBlank(false);
The FormPanel renders all Fields in a LABEL: INPUTFIELD way.
To render other widgets within a FormPanel I would use the AdpaterField that contains the real TextField and the postfix.
HorizontalPanel container = new HorizontalPanel();
AdapterField field = new AdapterField(container);
field.setFieldLabel("Calc");
TextField<String> inputField = new TextField<String>();
inputField.setAllowBlank(false);
container.add(inputField);
container.add(new Html("bar"));

gwt file upload code

I want to upload file in my application and want to set path where the files should be saved after uploading in my local system.I am using the following code but on the submit button getting no response while clicking.Please tell me the code which works fine for the file upload in gwt.
[code]
public class FormPanelExample implements EntryPoint {
public void onModuleLoad() {
// Create a FormPanel and point it at a service.
final FormPanel form = new FormPanel();
form.setAction("/myFormHandler");
// Because we're going to add a FileUpload widget, we'll need to set the
// form to use the POST method, and multipart MIME encoding.
form.setEncoding(FormPanel.ENCODING_MULTIPART);
form.setMethod(FormPanel.METHOD_POST);
// Create a panel to hold all of the form widgets.
VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();
form.setWidget(panel);
// Create a TextBox, giving it a name so that it will be submitted.
final TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.setName("textBoxFormElement");
panel.add(tb);
// Create a ListBox, giving it a name and some values to be associated with
// its options.
ListBox lb = new ListBox();
lb.setName("listBoxFormElement");
lb.addItem("foo", "fooValue");
lb.addItem("bar", "barValue");
lb.addItem("baz", "bazValue");
panel.add(lb);
// Create a FileUpload widget.
FileUpload upload = new FileUpload();
upload.setName("uploadFormElement");
panel.add(upload);
// Add a 'submit' button.
panel.add(new Button("Submit", new ClickListener() {
public void onClick(Widget sender) {
form.submit();
}
}));
// Add an event handler to the form.
form.addFormHandler(new FormHandler() {
public void onSubmit(FormSubmitEvent event) {
// This event is fired just before the form is submitted. We can take
// this opportunity to perform validation.
if (tb.getText().length() == 0) {
Window.alert("The text box must not be empty");
event.setCancelled(true);
}
}
public void onSubmitComplete(FormSubmitCompleteEvent event) {
// When the form submission is successfully completed, this event is
// fired. Assuming the service returned a response of type text/html,
// we can get the result text here (see the FormPanel documentation for
// further explanation).
Window.alert(event.getResults());
}
});
RootPanel.get().add(form);
}
}
Thanks

Now, I remember.. There's a bug in the FormPanel code that causes form.submit() not to work, when the type of the form is changed from the default (don't know if it's fixed yet in any release of GWT). If you create a "native" submit button like this:
HTML nativeSubmitButton new HTML("<input class='gwt-Button' type='submit' value='" + buttonText + "' />")
It will submit the form.
The disadvantage is that you cannot use any Button methods on this object, since it's a simple HTML wrapper. So disabling the button on submit (to avoid accidental double submit, and to give feedback that the form is actually submitting) won't work .
I've created a utility class for this purpose myself called DisableableSubmitButton that is essentially a FlowPanel with one HTML button like the above, and one gwt Button that is disabled, and some logic to toggle each of them visible. Since it cannot modify the actual enabled status of the HTML button all submit handlers must ask this class if it's "enabled" or not and cancel the event if it is. If you're interested in this implementation, i could share it with you (I don't want to flood stackoverflow with code unless you are interested).
