How may I block a gwt DisclosurePanel on the open state ?
I mean, how can I prevent this DisclosurePanel to close if the user click the header more than once ?
(My header is a textBox, I want the user to enter a text, and the panel should remain open if the user unfocus the textBox and focus newly by clicking it. The DisclosurePanel content has a "cancel" button that closes the panel)
Thank you very much.
I edit my question after 2 first answers: I would like to avoid to reopen the DisclosurePanel once closed to avoid flashing effect. I actually want to prevent the DisclosurePanel to close. Maybe sinkEvents can help me... if so, how? Thanks.
A NativePreviewHandler receives all events before they are fired to their handlers. By registering a nativePreviewHandler the first time your disclosurePanel is opened, you can cancel the click event. You can later decide to remove this handler by preventClose.removeHandler();
HandlerRegistration preventClose = null;
....
panel.addOpenHandler(new OpenHandler<DisclosurePanel>() {
#Override
public void onOpen(OpenEvent<DisclosurePanel> event) {
if (preventClose == null){
preventClose = Event.addNativePreviewHandler(new NativePreviewHandler() {
#Override
public void onPreviewNativeEvent(NativePreviewEvent event) {
if (event.getTypeInt()==Event.ONCLICK && event.getNativeEvent().getEventTarget() == panel.getHeader().getElement().cast())
event.cancel();
}
});
}
}
});
The obvious answer is review the javadoc here: https://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.5/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/DisclosurePanel.html
There is a setOpen() method that: Changes the visible state of this DisclosurePanel.
Set it to false from a click event to capture the user action.
The JavaDoc is right here: https://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/DisclosurePanel.html
jamesDrinkard pointed the old 1.5 javadoc.
You can use the addCloseHandler(CloseHandler<DisclosurePanel> handler) method to add a handler so when the user tries to close it you can reopen it again with setOpen().
Maybe not the best way, but it worked for me (maybe just one of both will work too):
dPanel.setOpen(true);
dPanel.addOpenHandler(new OpenHandler<DisclosurePanel>() {
#Override
public void onOpen(OpenEvent<DisclosurePanel> event) {
dPanel.setOpen(true);
}
});
dPanel.addCloseHandler(new CloseHandler<DisclosurePanel>() {
#Override
public void onClose(CloseEvent<DisclosurePanel> event) {
dPanel.setOpen(true);
}
});

I want to give the filter button a right click function that when I right click it, it will clear all the grid criteria.
setFilterOnKeypress(false);
setFilterByCell(true);
setFilterButtonPrompt("Left click to filter, right click to clear all texts.");
Button button = new Button();
button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler()
{
#Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event)
{
if (event.isRightButtonDown())
{
SC.warn("right clicked");
clearCriteria();
}
}
});
setFilterButtonProperties(button);
This is not working, any ideas on why it isnt working?
Keep the functionality separate. There is no meaning of mixing two different tasks on the same button. Think from the end user's perspective.
Read more on your another post Pass a handler to filter button property that is some what asked in the same context.
The Scenario:
In my GWT webapp, I'm using KeyDownHandler to capture the event of user hitting backspace.
Say, I'm using it on widget 'B', and hitting the backpsace when widget 'B' is focused should take me to widget 'A'.
The Problem:
On hitting backspace, I'm taken to widget 'A', BUT only for a moment before the Browser takes me back to the previous page! I want my backspace event to be used only by my (GWT) code, not the browser.
final TextBox txtA = new TextBox();
TextBox txtB = new TextBox();
VerticalPanel testPanel = new VerticalPanel();
testPanel.add(txtA);
testPanel.add(txtB);
txtB.addKeyDownHandler(new KeyDownHandler() {
public void onKeyDown(KeyDownEvent event) {
if(event.getNativeKeyCode() == KeyCodes.KEY_BACKSPACE){
Scheduler.get().scheduleDeferred(new ScheduledCommand() {
public void execute() {
txtA.setFocus(true);
}
});
}
}
});
RootPanel.get().add(testPanel);
This SO post might be usefull to you. However its still better to use shift+tab to navigate backwards in a web-based form IMHO.
You might have to prevent the default action from happening. And you might have to do it for some or all of the key events (keydown, keypress –in Firefox–, keyup); be sure to test as many browsers as possible!
That being said, hijacking global keyboard shortcuts is seen my many users as being too intrusive; and it might have consequences on accessibility of your app.
I have created a Dialog with two buttons Yes, No, and then I have add action listener to them, my problem is that I want no button to hide the Dialog that I have created
the code is looks like:
dialog = new Dialog(title);
dialog.setDialogType(Dialog.TYPE_CONFIRMATION);
ta = new TextArea(text);
ta.getStyle().setBorder(Border.createEmpty());
ta.setEditable(false);
yesCommand = new Button("YES");
noCommand = new Button("NO");
yesCommand.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
LGBMainMidlet.getLGBMidlet().notifyDestroyed();
}
});
noCommand.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
Logger.Log("Bye Bye");
dialog = null;
System.gc();
}
});
dialog.addComponent(ta);
dialog.addComponent(yesCommand);
dialog.addComponent(noCommand);
dialog.show();
the code is not working for me, can anyone told me what is the problem?
B.N. I have used dialog.dispose(), but it exit the whole application
It is better to use
dialog.setTimeout(1000); the number show the time limit the dialog box wait in milliseconds. So by doing this you can exit the dialog form automatically.
Dialog.dispose() does not exit the whole application, it just closes the dialog.
If you have nothing in your application you might see nothing if you dispose the dialog.
I want to if it is possible to disable the auto-close MenuBar when I click on a MenuItem?
I have several MenuItem that are like checkboxes, so I can check more than one MenuItem and don't want my menu close everytime I checked one.
Thanks.
I was facing same problem and I will share with you my solution:
1) Create new class MyMenuItemWithCheckBox that extends the MenuItem.
In the constructor set element ID to (forexample) menuItemWIthCheckBox + Unique text.
this.getElement().setId("menuItemWithCheckBox_" + menuItemLabel);
2) Create new class MyMenuBar that extends the MenuBar.
Override the onBrowserEvent method by following:
Override
public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
if (DOM.eventGetType(event) == Event.ONCLICK && getSelectedItem().getElement().getId().contains("CheckBox")) {
Scheduler.get().scheduleFinally(new Scheduler.ScheduledCommand() {
#Override
public void execute() {
getSelectedItem().getScheduledCommand().execute();
}
});
event.stopPropagation();
} else {
super.onBrowserEvent(event);
}
}
Now scheduled command of MenuItem is always called, but in the case of your
menu checkBox item there is no close of a menubar.
I hope this help you, I spend more than day to create this solution. :-)
First, directly it's not possible because the popup-panel which displays the submenu is private in the MenuBar class.
Buuut, there is a way to do so ...
Simpley fetch the current MenuBar.java code out of googles code repository and include it in your eclipse gwt-project.
You don't have to change anything e.g. package deklaration or something. Just put your source in your project and it will simply replace the original MenuBar-class from the gwt-sdk during compilation (works also with hosted development mode).
Then you can simply set the property autoHide of the popup-Panel to false and the popup shouldn't disappear after clicking.
You can set hideOnClick to false on the menuItems
See here.
I want handle events on a Label when user holds down some key (Ctrl) and then clicks the mouse button together (Ctrl + mouse click), like open some window etc...
How could i do that in GWT? Should i get add two handlers or can do it with one?
thank you.

In your click handler you can check if the Ctrl key is pressed when the event was fired, see example below. You also might want to check for the specific mouse button the user clicked on. I've also added that to the example:
yourLabel.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
if(NativeEvent.BUTTON_LEFT == event.getNativeButton() &&
event.isControlKeyDown()) {
//do what you want
}
});
Or for older version of GWT instead of event.isControlKeyDown use event.getNativeEvent().getCtrlKey(), which returns a boolean value true if the control key is pressed when this event is fired.
Edit: this code is buggy, please look at Hilbrand's answer
To be honest, I don't think you can do it with 1 or 2 handlers. I think you would need 3 handler.
A KeyDownHandler that sets a boolean you can later read form the MouseDownHandler
A MouseDownHandler that does what you want
A KeyUpHandler that resets the value of the boolean in the KeyDownHandler
boolean ctrlPressed;
yourLabel.addDomHandler(new KeyDownHandler() {
public void onKeyDown(KeyDownEvent event) {
if(event.getAssociatedType().equals(KeyCodes.KEY_CTRL))
ctrlPressed=true;
}
}, KeyDownEvent.getType());
yourLabel.addDomHandler(new KeyUpHandler() {
public void onKeyUp(KeyUpEvent event) {
if(event.getAssociatedType().equals(KeyCodes.KEY_CTRL))
ctrlPressed=false;
}
}, KeyUpEvent.getType());
yourLabel.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
if(ctrlPressed) {
//do what you want
}
});
