RichTextToolbar

[Michael Neale]

Is there any reason why RichTextToolbar is not including as part of
GWT but is only as a sample ? (in the Showcase project)?

Shouldn't this really be part of GWT itself, I mean the text area is
not terribly helpful without it, and it seems a bit odd to create it
each time (it is a bit tedious).

Hi Michael,

The reason why the RichTextArea doesn't have an accompanying Toolbar included in the GWT libraries is because we wanted to leave the choice open for developers and not have the RTA locked into our own toolbar.

For any developers who do want to use a toolbar with the same look as what's in the Showcase sample application, they can pick up the source from there and use it in their own applications.

However, I do see your point that it would be much easier and faster to be able to code to a RichTextToolbar right off the bat from the GWT libraries. I think the best place to make more noise about this to get it on the team radar is to report a request for enhancement on the Issue Tracker (link below).

Issue Tracker:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/w/list

The team will be sure to pick it up in the next issue triage, and other community members who also want the feature can star the issue report to indicate their interest.

Hope that helps,

I copy the class RichTextToolbar and images in my project. When I run,
some errors like that happened:
[ERROR] No resource found for key 'large'
com.google.gwt.i18n.rebind.AbstractResource$MissingResourceException:
No resource found for key 'large'
at com.google.gwt.i18n.rebind.AbstractResource

93)

com.google.gwt.i18n.rebind.AbstractLocalizableImplCreator.delegateToCreator

Anyone know what's wrong with it? Thanks!

Hi Nicole, I just had the same problem. Did you make sure to copy the
file "RichTextToolbar$Strings.properties"? The resource key "large" is
defined in an interface that extends Constants, which is part of the
i18n GWT package. Constants need an accompanying ".properties" file to
define the keys, e.g. what the large variable equals, so if you didn't
copy that into your project (in the same folder that you put the other
assets), it'll throw errors.

Hope this helps!
