getConnectorId

Constructor Detail

FormConnector

public FormConnector()

Method Detail

init

protected void init()

Description copied from class: AbstractConnector

Called when the connector has been initialized. Override this method to perform initialization of the connector.

Overrides:

init in class AbstractConnector

onUnregister

public void onUnregister()

Description copied from interface: ServerConnector

Event called when connector has been unregistered.

Specified by:

onUnregister in interface ServerConnector

Overrides:

onUnregister in class AbstractComponentConnector

delegateCaptionHandling

public boolean delegateCaptionHandling()

Description copied from interface: ComponentConnector

Return true if parent handles caption, false if the paintable handles the caption itself.

This should always return true and all components should let the parent handle the caption and use other attributes for internal texts in the component

Specified by:

delegateCaptionHandling in interface ComponentConnector

Overrides:

delegateCaptionHandling in class AbstractComponentConnector

Returns:

true if caption handling is delegated to the parent, false if parent should not be allowed to render caption

updateFromUIDL

public void updateFromUIDL(UIDL uidl,
                           ApplicationConnection client)

Specified by:

updateFromUIDL in interface Paintable

updateCaption

public void updateCaption(ComponentConnector component)

Description copied from interface: HasComponentsConnector

Update child components caption, description and error message.

Each component is responsible for maintaining its caption, description and error message. In most cases components doesn't want to do that and those elements reside outside of the component. Because of this layouts must provide service for it's childen to show those elements for them.

Specified by:

updateCaption in interface HasComponentsConnector

Parameters:

component - Child component for which service is requested.

getWidget

public VForm getWidget()

Description copied from class: AbstractComponentConnector

Returns the widget associated with this paintable. The widget returned by this method must not changed during the life time of the paintable.

Specified by:

getWidget in interface ComponentConnector

Overrides:

getWidget in class AbstractComponentConnector

Returns:

The widget associated with this paintable

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

Description copied from interface: ComponentConnector

Checks if the connector is read only.

Specified by:

isReadOnly in interface ComponentConnector

Overrides:

isReadOnly in class AbstractComponentConnector

Returns:

true

getState

public FormState getState()

Description copied from class: AbstractConnector

Returns the shared state object for this connector. Override this method to define the shared state type for your connector.

Specified by:

getState in interface ComponentConnector

Specified by:

getState in interface ServerConnector

Overrides:

getState in class AbstractComponentConnector

Returns:

the current shared state (never null)

onConnectorHierarchyChange

public void onConnectorHierarchyChange(ConnectorHierarchyChangeEvent connectorHierarchyChangeEvent)

Description copied from interface: ConnectorHierarchyChangeEvent.ConnectorHierarchyChangeHandler

Called by the framework when the list of child components of the connector implementing this interface has changed. The implementation is responsible for attaching the widgets of any new children and detaching the widgets of any removed children. Implementations should typically also make sure that the child widgets are attached according to the ordering of the child components.

This method is called after the shared state and hierarchy data (i.e. AbstractHasComponentsConnector.setChildComponents(List)) been updated for all affected connectors, but before updating captions, firing state change events, invoking updateFromUIDL for legacy connectors, invoking RPC and starting the layout phase.

Please note that hierarchy change events are fired in a non-deterministic order when a message from the server causes multiple parts of the hierarchy to change. This means that the old parent connector might not yet have detached a child widget and that the widget of a removed child might already have been attached by its new parent.

Specified by:

onConnectorHierarchyChange in interface ConnectorHierarchyChangeEvent.ConnectorHierarchyChangeHandler

Parameters:

connectorHierarchyChangeEvent - the event with information about the hierarchy change

getTooltipInfo

public TooltipInfo getTooltipInfo(com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element element)

Description copied from interface: ComponentConnector

Gets the tooltip info for the given element.

When overriding this method, ComponentConnector.hasTooltip() should also be overridden to return true in all situations where this method might return a non-empty result.

Specified by:

getTooltipInfo in interface ComponentConnector

Overrides:

getTooltipInfo in class AbstractComponentConnector

Parameters:

element - The element to lookup a tooltip for

Returns:

The tooltip for the element or null if no tooltip is defined for this element.

hasTooltip

public boolean hasTooltip()

Description copied from interface: ComponentConnector

Check whether there might be a tooltip for this component. The framework will only add event listeners for automatically handling tooltips (using ComponentConnector.getTooltipInfo(Element)) if this method returns true.

This is only done to optimize performance, so in cases where the status is not known, it's safer to return true so that there will be a tooltip handler even though it might not be needed in all cases.

Specified by:

hasTooltip in interface ComponentConnector

Overrides:

hasTooltip in class AbstractComponentConnector

Returns:

true if some part of the component might have a tooltip, otherwise false
