i need to register a cross platform and version independent click event to the document.
that means i have a two text box and submit button but when i click outside of the two text box and submit button then
alert will be displayed .how can i achive this by gwt
document.get().addMouseClick ???
The easiest way that comes to mind is to wrap everything in a FocusPanel
:
ClickHandler clickHandler = new ClickHandler() {
@Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
Window.alert("TextBox/Button clickHandler.");
event.stopPropagation(); // The important line - We stop the event
// propagation here so that the FocusPanel
// doesn't get the event
}
};
TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
textBox.addClickHandler(clickHandler);
Button button = new Button("Test");
button.addClickHandler(clickHandler);
// Since FocusPanel is a SimplePanel, it can only have one child, so we are
// wrapping everything additionally in a HorizontalPanel
HorizontalPanel hPanel = new HorizontalPanel();
hPanel.add(textBox);
hPanel.add(button);
FocusPanel focusPanel = new FocusPanel(hPanel);
focusPanel.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
@Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
Window.alert("Outside."); // Clicked outside of the TextBox/Button
}
});
RootPanel.get().add(focusPanel);
The downside is that you need to assign ClickHandler
s to every element you don't want an alert for (you can use the same ClickHandler
for that to save memory - like I did above). Other than that, the FocusPanel
implementation should ensure that the onclick behavior stays cross-browser.
