GWT CheckboxCell hinders selection in CellTable - gwt

Question

I discovered that if you have a GWT CellTable and add a column that contains a CheckboxCell, the selection via a SingleSelectionModel does not work anymore. This cell type does hinder the row selection.
Following a code sample that demonstrates this behaviour in 2.5.0.rc1.
final CellTable<LicenseDto> licenseTable = new CellTable<LicenseDto>();
final SingleSelectionModel<LicenseDto> selectionModel = new SingleSelectionModel<LicenseDto>();
licenseTable.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
//--- If I add this column, the selection does work.
Column<LicenseDto, String> workingColumn = new Column<LicenseDto, String>(new TextCell()) {
#Override
public String getValue(LicenseDto object) {
return "Works";
}
};
workingColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<LicenseDto, String>() {
#Override
public void update(int index, LicenseDto object, String value) {
;
}
});
licenseTable.addColumn(workingColumn);
//--- If I add this column, the selection does NOT work anymore.
Column<LicenseDto, Boolean> notWorkingColumn = new Column<LicenseDto, Boolean>(new CheckboxCell(true, true)) {
#Override
public Boolean getValue(LicenseDto object) {
return object.getEnabled();
}
};
notWorkingColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<LicenseDto, Boolean>() {
#Override
public void update(int index, LicenseDto object, Boolean value) {
presenter.enableLicense(object, value);
}
});
licenseTable.addColumn(notWorkingColumn);
initWidget(licenseTable);
You can combine multiple cells and add them to the table (e.g. LinkActionCell etc). As long as there is no CheckboxCell, the blue selection with the SingleSelectionModel works like a charm. Does anyone see what I do wrong with this CheckboxCell or is there a bug?

Answer 1

Thank you Thomas! The problem was that I set handlesSelection = true even thought I don't handle anything. Setting it to false solves the problem.
By the way, I add a fieldUpdater to the column to handle a tick or untick of the checkbox:
Column<LicenceDto, Boolean> enableLicenseColumn = new Column<LicenceDto, Boolean>(new CheckboxCell(false, false)) {
#Override
public Boolean getValue(LicenceDto object) {
return object.getEnabled();
}
};
enableLicenseColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<LicenceDto, Boolean>() {
#Override
public void update(int index, LicenceDto object, Boolean value) {
presenter.enableLicense(object, value);
}
});
The question is answered.
