Click Listener on CellTableRow

[Foermchen82]

Hi,

I want to handle click events on cell table rows. But i'm not able to
do this!

I tried the following code:

CellTable<MyObject> table = new CellTable<MyObject>();
final SingleSelectionModel<MyObject> model = new
SingleSelectionModel<MyObject>();
table.setSelectionModel(model);

table.addHandler(new ClickHandler() {

@Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
try{
Window.alert(model.getSelectedObject());
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}, ClickEvent.getType());

The problem is, that I try to get the object of the row on which I
have clicked. But on the click, the row under the mouse is actually
not selected. so the popup shows the wrong object.

How can I retreive the object under the mouse?

Kind regards,

You can extend CellTable and overwritte onBrowserEvent2.

 @Override

  protected void onBrowserEvent2(Event event) {

    super.onBrowserEvent2(event);

    String eventType = event.getType();

    boolean isClick = "click".equals(eventType);

    // Get the event target.

    EventTarget eventTarget = event.getEventTarget();

    if (!Element.is(eventTarget)) {

      return;

    }

    final Element target = event.getEventTarget().cast();

    if (isClick) {

      int columnClicked = getCellIndex(target);

      boolean isExcludedColumn =

          this.excludedColumns != null

              && (Arrays.binarySearch(this.excludedColumns, columnClicked) >= 0);

      if (!"input".equalsIgnoreCase(target.getTagName())

          && !isExcludedColumn) {

        T item = getCurrentSelectedItem(target);

       //do something

      }

    }

  }

You retreive the item by using the currentSelectedItem. But on click,
the row is actually not selected. So you will get the Item of the
previous selected row.

Is there not "normal" way for handling a click on a row of a
celltable?
On a flex table there is a "addTableListener" method. but this is
deprecated. On a HTMLTable there is the method "getcellforEvent". But
how I can do this with a CellTable??

I only want to have the index of the row that I have clicked.

Can somebody pleas help me????

Can't you simply respond to SelectionChangeEvent-s instead?

[Foermchen82]

No,

because this will result in a mix of click and selection handling.
These are different functionalities for different usecases.

[Thomas Broyer]

OK, then I'd say either use ClickableTextCell everywhere (or wrap each Cell into something similar to a ClickableTextCell, for those cells that are not "text based"), or try using a CellPreviewEvent.Handler (or rather, DefaultSelectionEventManager and EventTranslator).

You could also probably override onBrowserEvent of your Columns.

Thank you for your answers.

My solution now is, that i have copied the functionality from the
HTMLTable. There is a method: getCellFromEvent. This is exactly what
i'm looking for.

Kind regards.
