Re: Default value in empty TextBox
Kudos for Moutellou, I find his solution very clean. HTML already provides the capability to fulfil the initial requirement, so I think it is best taking advantage of that instead of dealing with more GWT artifacts and re-building a functionality that already exists.

Thanks for the code. Here's my extension of it:
public class DefaultTextBox extends TextBox implements FocusListener {
String defaultText;
boolean defaultTextMode = false;
public DefaultTextBox(String defaultText) {
setDefaultText(defaultText);
setDefaultTextMode();
addFocusListener(this);
}
public String getDefaultText() {
return defaultText;
}
public String getText() {
if (!defaultTextMode) {
return super.getText();
} else {
return ;
}
}
public void onFocus(Widget sender) {
if (defaultTextMode) {
setNormalTextMode();
}
}
public void onLostFocus(Widget sender) {
if (getText().length() == 0) {
setDefaultTextMode();
}
}
public void setDefaultText(String defaultText) {
this.defaultText = defaultText;
if (defaultTextMode) {
setDefaultTextMode();// Refresh
}
}
void setDefaultTextMode() {
assert super.getText().length() == 0;
super.setText(defaultText);
addStyleDependentName(default);
defaultTextMode = true;
}
void setNormalTextMode() {
assert super.getText().length() != 0;
super.setText();
removeStyleDependentName(default);
defaultTextMode = false;
}

super.setText(text);
if (text.length() == 0) {
setDefaultTextMode();
} else {
setNormalTextMode();
}
}
}
Cheers,
