Jay, Yes, in my case at least, I want to use onBrowserEvent() like you say but...and its a show stopper...I am doing this in a Tree widget. Obviously what someone cares about in this context is the TreeItem the user right clicked on. The problem is there is no way (that I have found yet) to convert the Event object returned in onBrowserEvent() into the TreeItem the user cares about.
So its not a notification problem its a data access problem. I have looked at how the Tree control does this for single clicks but they made all the data & methods private so I can't use them. If you know a way to do this please advice. -Dave On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 5:04 PM, jay <[email protected]> wrote: > > Perhaps I'm missing something, but why JSNI?
