GWT pasting event - gwt

I want to handle events when user pastes some text in TextBox. Which event is fired in this situation? I tried ValueChange and Change handlers, but they didn't work.

This might help you. Describes a workaround to hook to the onpaste event.
In short:
subclass TextBox
sink the onpaste event in the constructor
sinkEvents(Event.ONPASTE);
override onBrowserEvent(Event event)
public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
super.onBrowserEvent(event);
switch (event.getTypeInt()) {
case Event.ONPASTE: {
// do something here
break;
}
}
}

GWT does not yet have support for cut, copy & paste: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4030
Edited:
Another option is to use JSNI. For example add this to your GWT class:
public native void addCutHandler(Element element)
/*-{
var temp = this; // hack to hold on to 'this' reference
element.oncut = function(e) {
temp.#org.package.YourClass::handleCut()();
}
}-*/;
public void handleCut() {
Window.alert("Cut!");
}

**(Write In the Constructor)**
sinkEvents( Event.ONPASTE );
**(After that write below code)**
public void onBrowserEvent( Event event )
{
super.onBrowserEvent( event );
switch ( event.getTypeInt() )
{
case Event.ONPASTE :
{
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
break;
}
}
}

how to disable pasting in one of the gwt textbox

I have two textboxes and i want to just disable one of them from pasting anything. I have tried
sinkEvents( Event.ONPASTE );
but it disables both of the textboxes from pasting.
Try to create a custom TextBox wherein you have to override onBrowserEvent function.
public TextInput() {
super();
sinkEvents( Event.ONPASTE );
}
#Override
public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
super.onBrowserEvent( event );
switch (DOM.eventGetType(event)) {
case Event.ONPASTE:
event.preventDefault();
break;
}
}

Double Click event for DataGrid

I added double click event for DataGrid, but it doesn't work correctly. The code handles a single click, but it does not handle double click.
Please help.
private DataGrid<Contract> table = new DataGrid<Contract>();
table.addCellPreviewHandler(new Handler<Contract>() {
#Override
public void onCellPreview(final CellPreviewEvent<Contract> event) {
if (BrowserEvents.DBLCLICK.equals(event.getNativeEvent().getType())) {
//it doesn't handle
Window.alert("Tro-lo-lo");
}
if (BrowserEvents.CLICK.equals(event.getNativeEvent().getType())) {
//it handles
Window.alert("Tru-la-la");
}
}
});
DataGrid has many things in common with CellTable. So solutions from this question must work for you too:
Using CellPreviewHandler count time between two clicks
Or you can add DoubleClickHandler using addDomHandler method
dataGrid.addDomHandler(new DoubleClickHandler() {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
#Override
public void onDoubleClick(DoubleClickEvent event) {
DataGrid<YourDataProviderType> grid = (DataGrid<YourDataProviderType>) event.getSource();
int row = grid.getKeyboardSelectedRow();
YourDataProviderType item = grid.getVisibleItem(row);
Window.alert("Do Something Here");
}
}, DoubleClickEvent.getType());

Getting header column names in Cell table on click in GWT

I am using Cell Table of GWT 2.2 version. I want to get the name of the header column on which I have clicked. I didn't get any click event on the same.
Is there any work around by which I can accomplish my task.
Something like this? ;)
public class CellTableExample implements EntryPoint, ClickHandler {
private static class SomeEntity {
/* ... */
}
private static class ClickableTextHeader extends TextHeader {
private ClickHandler handler;
public ClickableTextHeader(String text, ClickHandler handler) {
super(text);
this.handler = handler;
}
#Override
public void onBrowserEvent(Context context, final Element elem,
final NativeEvent event) {
//maybe hijack click event
if(handler != null) {
if(Event.ONCLICK == Event.getTypeInt(event.getType())) {
handler.onClick(new ClickEvent() {
{
setNativeEvent(event);
setRelativeElement(elem);
setSource(ClickableTextHeader.this);
}
});
}
}
//default dom event handler
super.onBrowserEvent(context, elem, event);
}
}
CellTable<SomeEntity> cellTable;
TextColumn<SomeEntity> firstColumn;
TextColumn<SomeEntity> secondColumn;
TextColumn<SomeEntity> thirdColumn;
#Override
public void onModuleLoad() {
/* somehow init columns - it's not the point for this example */
cellTable.addColumn(firstColumn, new ClickableTextHeader("First column header", this));
cellTable.addColumn(secondColumn, new ClickableTextHeader("Second column header", this));
cellTable.addColumn(thirdColumn, new ClickableTextHeader("Third column header", this));
}
#Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
ClickableTextHeader source = (ClickableTextHeader) event.getSource();
Window.alert(source.getValue());
}
}
Hijacking event could look simpler if we used "simple listener interface" - i just wanted to be "semanticaly compliant with out-of-the-box Handlers" :)

GWT: How to disable the anchor link event when clicked

I want to disable the anchor link event when it clicked one time. I used anchor.setenabled(false) but nothing happend. When I click the same button again the event e is true. I want false at that time.
public void onCellClick(GridPanel grid, int rowIndex, int colindex,EventObject e)
{
if(rowIndex==0 && colindex==2){
tomcatHandler = "Start";
anchorStart.setEnabled(false);
}else if(rowIndex==0 && colindex==3){
tomcatHandler = "Stop";
****anchorStop.setEnabled(false);
anchorStart.setEnabled(false);
anchorRestart.setEnabled(true);****
}else if(rowIndex==0 &&colindex==4){
tomcatHandler = "Restart";
anchorRestart.setEnabled(false);
}
AdminService.Util.getInstance().tomcat(tomcatHandler,new AsyncCallback<String>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(String result) {
imageChangeEvent(result);
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
}
});}
Anchors in GWT have always had a problem with setEnabled() because HTML doesn't support such a property. A quick workaround is to create a new widget that subclasses GWT's Anchor, adding the following override:
#Override
public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
switch (DOM.eventGetType(event)) {
case Event.ONDBLCLICK:
case Event.ONFOCUS:
case Event.ONCLICK:
if (!isEnabled()) {
return;
}
break;
}
super.onBrowserEvent(event);
}
This disables the passing of the browser event to GWT's Anchor class (summarily disabling all related handlers) when the link is double clicked, focused or clicked and is in a disabled state.
Source
It doesn't seem to actually disable the anchor, but it does retain the status that has been set with anchor.setEnabled(), so just test that within your handler e.g.
myAnchor.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
#Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent evt) {
// write to filter and then call reload
if (((Anchor) evt.getSource()).isEnabled()) {
//do stuff
}
}
});

GWT 2.2.0 PopupPanel autoHide on TOUCH Events

PopupPanel is a class within GWT written (akhem) a long time ago (which is why it sucks so much) that allows for showing popups with content. One of the options is autoHide where if there's a certain event outside of the popup it closes the popup. It works well on anything EXCEPT Safari Mobil (SM). Reason is SM doesn't fire click events on touch. It fires touch events. PopupPanel is hard coded to look for ClickEvents.
Specifically, the code says:
case Event.ONMOUSEDOWN:
...
if (!eventTargetsPopupOrPartner && autoHide) {
hide(true);
...
Obviously this isn't complete and it should also include Event.ONTOUCHSTART
Problem is, all the methods and fields are private so I cannot add this functionality. That's a big boo-boo on the part of GWT team but not really a concern since I could just make my own class and copy contents of PopupPanel. The big problem is that nativeEventPreview doesn't capture Touch Events!
I tried adding the following to Event Preview the following:
private static NativePreviewHandler nativePreviewHandler = new NativePreviewHandler() {
public void onPreviewNativeEvent(NativePreviewEvent event) {
Event nativeEvent = Event.as(event.getNativeEvent());
switch (nativeEvent.getTypeInt()) {
case Event.ONTOUCHSTART:
case Event.ONMOUSEDOWN:
EventTarget target = nativeEvent.getEventTarget();
if (!Element.is(target) || !popup.getElement().isOrHasChild(Element.as(target))) {
popup.hide();
} break;
}
}
};
Where 'popup' is the PopupPanel I'm trying to get to close on outside touch events.
Sad thing is it works for mouse down when testing in any other browser on Earth, but not on iPad.
Another thing I tried was adding a TouchStartHandler to the glass of the PopupPanel (the gray looking thing behind it). I war hoping that I could catch the touch events that way, but I was unable to get events to fire on glass since it's attached to DOM in some funny way. My code:
private static class ProperPopupPanel extends PopupPanel {
public ProperPopupPanel() {
super();
}
void setHideOnGlassTouch() {
setGlassEnabled(true);
TouchableLabeThatDoesntCrashOnWrap glass = new TouchableLabeThatDoesntCrashOnWrap(getGlassElement());
glass.addTouchStartHandler(new TouchStartHandler() {
#Override
public void onTouchStart(TouchStartEvent event) {
hide();
}
});
glass.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
#Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
hide();
}
});
}
private class TouchableLabeThatDoesntCrashOnWrap extends Label {
public TouchableLabeThatDoesntCrashOnWrap(Element element) {
super(element);
super.onAttach();
}
}
}
In my mind this should work, but it doesn't. I don't know why. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
Not enough GWT users here... well I made my own class that adds touch handlers through JSNI ...
