ListBox and ClickListener

[Moga]

I am developing and application in which i need to fire events based
on which item in a listbox is clicked. My question is, what is the
event that a listbox sends to the onclick event handler? is it a
reference to entire listbox? or just a string of what was clicked?

Thanks

Moga, the only parameter your clicklistener gets is "Widget sender". I
don't really understand how you're not getting what that is: It's
clearly the listbox; it is a Widget (unlike strings, which aren't),
and it's clearly the 'sender'. If you then want to know what was
clicked, use the methods on listbox to figure that out.

Hello Reinier:

So I guess i cannot do something like this:


ListBox.onClickListener(new ClickListener(){
onClick(Widget sender){
String myItem = (ListBox)Sender.getSelectedItem();
}
}


I need to do this because the click is caught by another composite
widget which does the processing, and it doesn't have access to this
listBox.

ps the above code is from memory, so might not be syntactically
correct.

Yes, that's what you would do. Cast the sender widget to ListBox and
get whatever you need from it.
