Re: tabular layout with UIBinder?

Hi Thomas,

thank you!

To understand it right: Why isn't it possible to declare a FlexTable in GWT Designer, with 2 rows and 3 cells? It works with Grid but it doesn't with FlexTable. GWT Designer lets me insert a FlexTable, but it won't let me put widgets into the FlexTable.

Those widgets need special parsers to work in UiBinder, and nobody made one for FlexTable (because, honestly, in 90% of the cases a <table> in an HTMLPanel is what you need, so it wasn't worth the effort). Grid was much simpler to support, and it's worth noting that it was initially contributed by a community member (not by Google).

 

And concerning the documentation: Where can I see which attributes are available to the different widgets in XML?

You should be able to find everything in the javadoc.

The basics are in http://www.gwtproject.org/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/UIObject.html

And then each specifics for a widget is in the javadoc for the widget itself, generally in a "Use in UiBinder" section; for example: http://www.gwtproject.org/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/DockLayoutPanel.html

 

For example, where can I read what is the right name for the cell tags within a FlexTable and the names of the attributes, e. g. "colspan" or "colSpan"...

So the answer is: there aren't any ;-)
