setBottomWidget

public final void setBottomWidget(Widget w)

Sets the widget in the bottom of the panel.

Parameters:

w - the widget

setHeight

public void setHeight(java.lang.String height)

Description copied from class: UIObject

Sets the object's height. This height does not include decorations such as border, margin, and padding.

Overrides:

setHeight in class UIObject

Parameters:

height - the object's new height, in CSS units (e.g. "10px", "1em")

setSplitPosition

public final void setSplitPosition(java.lang.String pos)

Moves the position of the splitter.

Parameters:

pos - the new size of the left region in CSS units (e.g. "10px", "1em")

setTopWidget

public final void setTopWidget(Widget w)

Sets the widget in the top of the panel.

Parameters:

w - the widget

onLoad

protected void onLoad()

Description copied from class: Panel

A Panel's onLoad method will be called after all of its children are attached.

Overrides:

onLoad in class Panel

See Also:

Widget.onLoad()

onUnload

protected void onUnload()

Description copied from class: Panel

A Panel's onUnload method will be called before its children become detached themselves.

Overrides:

onUnload in class Panel

See Also:

Widget.onLoad()

add

public void add(Widget w)

Description copied from class: Panel

Adds a child widget.

How to Override this Method

There are several important things that must take place in the correct order to properly add or insert a Widget to a Panel. Not all of these steps will be relevant to every Panel, but all of the steps must be considered.

1. Validate: Perform any sanity checks to ensure the Panel can accept a new Widget. Examples: checking for a valid index on insertion; checking that the Panel is not full if there is a max capacity.
2. Adjust for Reinsertion: Some Panels need to handle the case where the Widget is already a child of this Panel. Example: when performing a reinsert, the index might need to be adjusted to account for the Widget's removal. See ComplexPanel.adjustIndex(Widget, int).
3. Detach Child: Remove the Widget from its existing parent, if any. Most Panels will simply call Widget.removeFromParent() on the Widget.
4. Logical Attach: Any state variables of the Panel should be updated to reflect the addition of the new Widget. Example: the Widget is added to the Panel's WidgetCollection at the appropriate index.
5. Physical Attach: The Widget's Element must be physically attached to the Panel's Element, either directly or indirectly.
6. Adopt: Call Panel.adopt(Widget) to finalize the add as the very last step.

Specified by:

add in interface HasWidgets

Overrides:

add in class Panel

Parameters:

w - the widget to be added

See Also:

HasWidgets.add(Widget)

isResizing

public boolean isResizing()

Indicates whether the split panel is being resized.

Returns:

true if the user is dragging the splitter, false otherwise

iterator

public java.util.Iterator iterator()

Description copied from interface: HasWidgets

Gets an iterator for the contained widgets. This iterator is required to implement Iterator.remove().

onBrowserEvent

public void onBrowserEvent(Event event)

Description copied from interface: EventListener

Fired whenever a browser event is received.

Specified by:

onBrowserEvent in interface EventListener

Overrides:

onBrowserEvent in class Widget

Parameters:

event - the event received

remove

public boolean remove(Widget widget)

Description copied from class: Panel

Removes a child widget.

How to Override this Method

There are several important things that must take place in the correct order to properly remove a Widget from a Panel. Not all of these steps will be relevant to every Panel, but all of the steps must be considered.

1. Validate: Make sure this Panel is actually the parent of the child Widget; return false if it is not.
2. Orphan: Call Panel.orphan(Widget) first while the child Widget is still attached.
3. Physical Detach: Adjust the DOM to account for the removal of the child Widget. The Widget's Element must be physically removed from the DOM.
4. Logical Detach: Update the Panel's state variables to reflect the removal of the child Widget. Example: the Widget is removed from the Panel's WidgetCollection.

Specified by:

remove in interface HasWidgets

Specified by:

remove in class Panel

Parameters:

widget - the widget to be removed

Returns:

true if the child was present

getElement

getSplitElement

protected Element getSplitElement()

Gets the element that is acting as the splitter.

Returns:

the element

getWidget

protected Widget getWidget(int index)

Gets one of the contained widgets.

Parameters:

index - the index of the widget, only 0 and 1 are valid.

setWidget

protected final void setWidget(int index,
                               Widget w)

Sets one of the contained widgets.

Parameters:
