Hi,
for porting an existing web application to Wicket I needed to refresh
the contents of DropDownChoice without a new request (for speedy
selection). As this is a common technique for selecting categories
(things like Computer - Hardware - RAM - DDR or Branch / Company /
Person) I decided to create a reusable Wicket component exactly for
this. And as having Wicket saved my a lot of time the last weeks I
thought I should contribute that back. Well, here are the facts:
- I did a component called WicktorDropDownChoice. It's exactly the
same as Wickets original DropDownChoice except for a little method
called "connectListForAjaxRefresh(WicktorDropDownChoice choice)".
Every list that is connected somehow this way gets reloaded
automatically using JavaScript / AJAX at runtime
- It works for the current version of IE, Firefox and Safari but it
doesn't have a non-JavaScript fallback. So if you want to use it for
a public web application some work is still needed
- You can download it from http://www.dreivier.net/wicktor.zip , it
includes the component sources and a simple example page
- Little extra: "WicktorCheckBox and HideableWebMarkupContainer". You
can connect the HideableWebMarkupContainer to the WicktorCheckBox and
the container gets shown/hidden by state state of the checkbox at the
client side. Warning: these two work, but I'm not very proud about
the way they work. I have the feeling this could be done in a more
elegant way... Any ideas?
- Yes, I'm sorry for the stupid name. Wicktor is my wicket-test
project for playing around with wicket.
- Any feedback/ideas is highly appreciated.
Good night :)
Regards,
Ralf Ebert
