How to make label auto click

[Deepak Singh]

Hi,

I have wrapped a div into Label. Added clickhandler to label.

Now i want that at some point of time, this label should be autoclicked but we dont have anything like click() method for label as we have for button.click().

So how can i achieve this ?

Thanks
Deepak Singh

Why? If you want to use a container, then I would suggest SimplePanel
or FlowPanel. I would keep Labels for displaying simple text.

Why not simply call the corresponding onClick (or what ever you called
it) method directly? GWT doesn't really support programmatically
creating browser events.

GWT doesn't really support programmatically creating browser events.

Not quite true. See this SO post.

No probs. I solved my prob by changing Div to HtmlPanel.

Thanks for your support.

I wrote "doesn't really", not "doesn't". :-) Still, all this mucking
about in the DOM is very hard to (unit) test. In most cases, creating
these events yourself is an anti-pattern. So possible but not
advisable (in general).
