GWT TextButton class - How to set an icon?

[tom]

Hi,

I'd like to have Buttons with a text and an icon in my app. Seems the TextButton class is exactly what I'm looking for.

The only way to set the icon seems to be the constructor that takes a TextButtonCell, but it is protected. Can't use that. :( Bug or feature??

How can I set the icon for a TextButton in a short, elegant way?

regards

Tom

You've probably solved this yourself, but here's what I did:

IResources.java:
==============8<===============
package com.cregganna.web.gwt.ui.resources;

import com.google.gwt.resources.client.ClientBundle;
import com.google.gwt.resources.client.ImageResource;

public interface IResources extends ClientBundle {
@Source("selectAll_16x16.gif")
ImageResource selectAllIcon();
...
}
==============8<===============

In the ui.xml:
==============8<===============
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder
xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'
xmlns:cc='urn:import:com.cregganna.web.gwt.ui'
>

<ui:with field='res'
type='com.cregganna.web.gwt.ui.resources.IResources' />
<ui:with field='msg'
type='com.cregganna.web.gwt.ui.resources.IMessageConstants' />
....

<cc:widgets.IconTextButton icon='{res.selectAllIcon}'
text='{msg.selectAll}' width='100px' ui:field='selectAll' />
==============8<===============


IconTextButton.java:
==============8<===============
package com.cregganna.web.gwt.ui.widgets;

import com.google.gwt.cell.client.TextButtonCell;
import com.google.gwt.resources.client.ImageResource;
import com.google.gwt.widget.client.TextButton;

public class IconTextButton extends TextButton {

public void setIcon(ImageResource icon) {
((TextButtonCell) getCell()).setIcon(icon);
}

}
