Hi, With GWT 2.3 I have been struggling a while with the event handling in my custom widget.
I have created a custom widget by extending SimplePanel. I am aware that it is usually better to create a Composite, but I have at least one reason not to do so in this case. Please do not reply that I should use a Composite. I am trying to understand the underlying concepts. Here is code showing what I try to achieve: <code> package se.festivitas.gwt.portal.client.view.dock; import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.HasMouseDownHandlers; import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.MouseDownEvent; import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.MouseDownHandler; import com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration; import com.google.gwt.user.client.DOM; import com.google.gwt.user.client.Window; import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.FlowPanel; import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label; import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.SimplePanel; public class SimplePanelTest extends SimplePanel { class FocusFlowPanel extends FlowPanel implements HasMouseDownHandlers { @Override public HandlerRegistration addMouseDownHandler(MouseDownHandler handler) { return addDomHandler(handler, MouseDownEvent.getType()); } } public SimplePanelTest() { FocusFlowPanel ffp = new FocusFlowPanel(); Label lbl = new Label("SimplePanelTest"); ffp.add(lbl); DOM.appendChild(getElement(), ffp.getElement()); lbl.addMouseDownHandler(new MouseDownHandler() { @Override public void onMouseDown(MouseDownEvent event) { Window.alert("FlowPanel Clicked!"); } }); } } </code> When instanciating this widget and adding it to the RootPanel, the onMouseDown never fires. Why? Is there something I missed? Adding the MouseDownHandler to the whole widget works: the onMouseDown fires. Thank you for any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
