RichTextArea:setEnabled

[Parvez Shah]

Hello I am facing problem in making RichTextArea setEnabled(false); is it like RichTextArea is not meant to be setEnabeled(false);


public void onModuleLoad() {
        RichTextArea area = new RichTextArea();
        area.setEnabled(false);
        area.setHTML("<b>Name:</b> some name </br> <b>Address:</b> some addrsss with reallly long addresss lerts test</br><b>Tin:</b> N/A");
       
        RootPanel.get().add(area);
       
    }

do this...

RootPanel.get().add(new RichTextToolbar(areat));
RootPanel.get().add(area);

copy RichTextToolbar.java, RichTextToolbar$Strings.properties & all the images in the folder from "\gwt-windows-1.7.1\samples\Showcase\src\com\google\gwt\sample\showcase\client\content\text" to your project....

So u mean i cant use RichTextArea without RichTextToolbar ..
The document says nothing like this

[Prashant]

if you need the toolbar you must use RichTextToolbar. I am not much familiar with RichTextArea so I cannot what you can/can't do with RichTextArea alone...

yes, docs says noting about it, refer to gwt showcase for working examples...

Bump --
any one has any idea on how to make RichTextArea  setEnabeled(false)

You don't need to toolbar to use the RichTextArea, but it's pretty
useless without it since you won't be able to do any formatting with
the text.

But as far as disabling the RichTextArea, I don't think it's going to
work since the RichTextArea is rendered as an iframe element. If you
want to have a similar effect of disabling you can swap out the
RichTextArea with an HTML element that has styling of a disabled text
box (black border, light gray backround, dark gray text). Then swap
back in the RichTextArea when you want to enable it.
