I want to make the tooltip scrollable in draw2D, just like in Eclipse when you call out the Content Assist window. Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance!
I have never tried it, but I see no reason why using a org.eclipse.draw2d.ScrollPane in your tooltip shouldn't work. You will probably have to put the ScrollPane into another figure to restrict its size. Otherwise I suspect the ScrollPane (and with it the whole tooltip) would just have the preferred size of its content -> no scrolling.

my problem is that I have a lot of AbsolutePanels in GWT an they are drawn as if they were a TabLayoutPanel ( the GUI looks like a TabLayoutPanel, however, it is not one, it is made of a lot of AbsolutePanels ).
So, now I have the problem that as soon as a lot of tabs are opened they exceed the max. width of the AbsolutePanel and so they cannot be seen anymore nor can they be clicked or anything else.
So, is it somehow possible to add a ScrollBar to this AbsolutePanel in order to scroll back and forth?
I do not think it is a good idea to post any code because everything is being done programmatically. The only thing that I would need is an example of how to accomplish a scrollbar within an AbsolutePanel. This AbsolutePanel is of a fixed width!
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Use CSS Overflow property.
You just need to set overflow: auto;.
It can be done programmatically:
panel.getElement().getStyle().setOverflow(Overflow.AUTO);
or with CSS style sheet:
.overflowAuto {
overflow: auto;
}
and
panel.addStyleName("overflowAuto");
I have a search icon, when i click on that, a search popup will opens(which is actually a vertical panel). In this Date textboxes are there. when i am clicking on a Data textbox. Its coming, but its behind the Vertical Panel popup.
My question is, when datebox is clicked, Calender should come front. What i have to do for that.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks in Advance,

You need to set the CSS z-index property for the calendar to a higher value than the popup's z-index.
I had the same problem and Using z-index didn't work for me. I removed all z-index values from style sheets instead, and so far it worked.
Hope it can be of use for you.

However I get something like
with the scrollbar set to middle. Thing is sometimes for the same values it shows properly
and sometimes it shows from middle(for same value).
I want it to show properly like in the first image and I've tried a couple of things but with no succes.
itemSection.setHoverAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
itemSection.setTextAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
itemSection.setAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
... and other irelevand stuff ...
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks alot!
If I am not getting wrong, You want to set your scrollbar at particular position. FOr that you need to ovverride the css of that and try to set scrollbar position to 0. So that your problem will get solved.
The problem with any kind of selections box is, that the boxes display and behave completely different across browsers. The older the browser the worse it handles long texts in selection boxes (some just truncate the text). I suggest to keep the displayed text as short as possible. That way you can avoid this problem.
If you really need long description, you can try to add a tooltip to every entry. Or use a different widget to make the select from, e.g. some custom widget in a separate dialog...
I am making a vertical Menu using GWT MenuBar and selection of particular MenuItem shows content on the right, I am trying to make something similar to TabPanel, but with Tabs on left instead of being on top. Now, since I've got the Menu items and actions in place, I want to remove the effect of hovering over and changing color, and keep that menu item selected which was clicked last and whose content is loaded on the right.
I am open to any comments, if you have a better solution to implement this, using some other components(with-in) GWT, please drop in a comment with your suggestions, I'll really appreciate that.
Or if you can just tell me how can I disable this effect, of hovering and sticking to only that selection, That would be awesome too..
Thanks to everyone, taking time to read this and suggesting a solution.
It's all defined in the CSS of your GWT's theme (probably the default one), so it's a matter of overriding those styles - make sure it's not the other way around :) Inspect the code with a tool like Firebug to see what's exactly being set and change that.
once again I've got a question. Since I am using Google Web Toolkit (GWT) at work (along with Java Servlets), I am currently building some user interface with GWT (in Java).
I've got some trouble though. I am using a SplitLayoutPanel which contains a ScrollPanel on the left and another one on the right.
In the left ScrollPanel there's a VerticalPanel with several Labels, which differ in their width. What I want to accomplish, is: if the Label's text doesn't fit in one line, it should display as many characters as possible and have a "..." in the end, if it's not fully displayed.
I am about to add a CustomEvent EventHandler for the Label, which can be fired whenever the Label needs to change its content. Now the problem however is, that I'd need to fire the event whenever the ScrollPanel or its inner VerticalPanel is resized (by dragging the SplitLayoutPanel-Splitter).
Now the question: is it possible to override some sort of "onResize"-Event or at least "onMouseMove"-Event inside the VerticalPanel, so that I could fire the "changeLabelSize()"-method for each Label inside of this VerticalPanel?
How would I go about it? Thank you all for your time in advance! Please ask for anything unclear, so I can clarify it.
Best regards,
Igor.
This can be done easily with the CSS property text-overflow: ellipsis;.
Supported by IE7-, Safari and Konqueror.
And it can be emulated in Firefox.
