Re: FieldUpdater.update it not fired for ButtonCell in Chrome browser

Was able to figure out the problem. Here are the details:

I was displaying a list of Projects inside a LayoutPanel and on clicking a ButtonCell in the list I was hiding the list and displaying a details form present inside the same LayoutPanel. Following is the piece of problematic code:

<g:LayoutPanel height="100%" width="100%">

    ........

    <g:layer top="17%" left="0%" height="83%" width="100%">        --------> Layer 1

        <d:ProjectListForm ui:field="projectListForm" visible="true"></d:ProjectListForm>

    </g:layer>

    <g:layer top="17%" left="0%" height="83%" width="100%">        ----------> Layer 2

        <d:ProjectDetailsForm ui:field="projectDetailsForm" visible="false"></d:ProjectListForm>

    </g:layer>

</g:LayoutPanel>

Notice how I created two layers (Layer1 and Layer2) overlapping each other. Whenever the user clicked "Details" ButtonCell I was hiding ProjectListForm and showing ProjectDetailsForm. I guess the layer over the top was preventing mouse events to reach to the layer beneath it. I have now changed the code to the following:

<g:LayoutPanel height="100%" width="100%">

    ........

    <g:layer top="17%" left="0%" height="83%" width="100%">        --------> There is only one Layer now

        <g:LayoutPanel width="100%" height="100%" ui:field="displayLayer">   -------> Added a new LayoutPanel

            <g:layer height="100%" width="100%">

                <d:ProjectListForm ui:field="projectListForm" visible="true"></d:ProjectListForm>

            </g:layer>

        </g:LayoutPanel>

    </g:layer>

</g:LayoutPanel>

The ProjectDetailsForm object is not added as the part of UiBinder any more. Instead I instantiate it in the associated Java class. I clear the child elements of "displayLayer" LayoutPanel and add the ProjectDetailsForm object whenever the user clicks the "Details" ButtonCell.

Hi Bharat.

It HAS TO work. I do such things every day. With ButtonCell, ClickableTextCell and some custom cells.
Check again,  there is problem somewhere else, some NPE or sthg.

GWT Version: GWT 2.6.0

Browser for which the code is not working: Google Chrome Version 38.0.2125.104 m

Browser for which the code is working: IE 9

I have a ButtonCell added as a column in DataGrid. The FieldUpdater.update event for the ButtonCell is not fired in Chrome. The same works fine in IE 9. On further observation I found that after hovering the mouse over the rows of DataGrid nothing happens in Chrome. But on mouse-over in IE the rows change color (as expected). Thus, seems like the DataGrid is not receiving any mouse events in Chrome and hence the ButtonCell is not working.

I have following hierarchy of elements:

RootLayoutPanel -> DockLayoutPanel-> SimpleLayoutPanel -> LayoutPanel -> DockLayoutPanel -> DataGrid -> ButtonCell (a column inside DataGrid)

Here is how I add the ButtonCell:

Column<MyProject,String> detailsColumn =

new Column<MyProject,String>(new ButtonCell()) {

 public String getValue(MyProject object) {

   return "DETAILS";

 }

};

detailsColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<MyProject, String>() {

 @Override

 public void update(int index, MyProject project, String value) {

 Window.alert("Button Clicked"); //nothing happens here; the dialog is not displayed

 }

});

dataGrid.addColumn(detailsColumn, "DETAILS");

dataGrid.setColumnWidth(detailsColumn, 10, Unit.PCT);

I tried replacing the DataGrid with CellTable with no success. Replacing ButtonCell with ActionCell also didn't work. Note that the DataGrid example from GWT Showcase works fine on the Chrome browser.

I am suspecting this issue is similar to: https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=7139 but have no idea how to resolve it.

Anyone else facing this issue? Any help would be highly appreciated.
