Hi there, I'm trying to implement a counter for a textarea. Something like this is working for me
final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();final Label counter = new Label("Number of characters: 0");... private void addlistener() { textArea.addKeyUpHandler(new KeyUpHandler() { public void onKeyUp(KeyUpEvent keyUpEvent) { counter.setText(" Number of characters:"+textArea.getText().length()); } }); In my project the TextArea is enhanced e.g. for displaying validation errors. public class ValidatableTextarea extends ComplexPanel private FlowPanel rootPanel; protected TextArea input; private Label errorLabel; @UiConstructor public ValidatableTextarea() { input = new TextArea(); rootPanel = new FlowPanel(); rootPanel.add(input); setElement(rootPanel.getElement()); } ... public void setText(String text) { input.setText(String Text); } ... public void addKeyUpHandler(KeyUpHandler keyUpHandler) { input.addKeyUpHandler(keyUpHandler); } My Presenter is calling ValidatableTextarea.addKeyUpHandler onBind but the keyhandler seems not to be added. The same thing happens when I call ValidatableTextarea.setText My Presenter is a dialog, so when I call those functions in Presenter.openat least ValidatableTextarea.setText is working and the given text is displayed, but there is still no keyUpHandler working. So is there any magic working I don't see? Any event I can listen to be sure that my ValidatableTextarea is ready to accept my keyUpHandler? Or is my given Handler somehow overwritten?
