A collection of wierdnesses I found in some components.

For the scrolling, I think the best solution is to add a Box to the application. This box has a min width auto height, width 100%. The application sets the vertical/horizontal scroll policies, and thats it. Then when anything is below size you get the nice scroll bars to scroll through all content horizontally and vertically always on sides of screen. I was doing it incorrectly. Sorry for wasting your time.

I noticed TextInput does not dispatch KEY_UP events.

Code:

private EventHandler enterKeyHandler = new EventHandler(new  EventListener(){
@Override
public void eventOccurred(final Event evt) throws Exception {
                System.out.println("Hit");
KeyEvent kev = (KeyEvent) evt;
if(kev.getKey().equals(Key.ENTER)){
UIRobot.click(searchButton,0,0,0,0,false,false,false);
}
}
},true,false,Event.Type.KEY_UP);

Never gets called after adding it as

Code:

TextInput foo = new TextInput();
foo.addEventListener(enterKeyHandler);

Am I doing something wrong or is the event just not getting dispatched?

[darkfrog]

It works fine for me...

Code:

    input = new TextInput();
   
    EventHandler enterKeyHandler = new EventHandler(new  EventListener(){
    public void eventOccurred(final Event evt) throws Exception {
                System.out.println("Hit");
    }
    },true,false,Event.Type.KEY_UP);
    input.addEventListener(enterKeyHandler);
   
    add(input);

Is there something else in your code perhaps preventing that from happening (stop propagation perhaps) or overriding update/init and not calling super?

[GrandMasterBirt]

The object is a plain TextInput. It is contained inside a CustomComponent. The listener is the CustomComponent itself.

No calls to .stopPropagation.

[darkfrog]

Post the complete code for the custom component and I'll have a look.

BTW, you don't need to acceptRecursion flag set since you're listening to the component itself and there are no children under it.

Correction to pagination issue: If you paginate to a different page, the selection remains the row that was previously selected AND no selected/unselected event is fired. (that was old info) [new info] when selecting another row no selected event is fired the first time. After the first time normal behavior resumes.

[darkfrog]

You believe it should clear the selection entirely when you change pages or maintain selection across multiple pages?

[GrandMasterBirt]

I think clear IF no-selection is allowed. If not, then ensure that events get dispatched for selected/unselected. Also when clearing selection ensure that unselected event gets dispatched.

[darkfrog]

What do you mean by, "if no selection is allowed"?

[GrandMasterBirt]

BasicSelectionManager(Container container, boolean multiSelect, boolean allowNone)

If allowNone is true, then deselect with the appropriate unselected event.
If allowNone is false, then just dispatch the appropriate selected unselected events.

ah, gotcha'
