DecoratedStackPanel

public class StackPanel
extends ComplexPanel
implements InsertPanel.ForIsWidget

A panel that stacks its children vertically, displaying only one at a time, with a header for each child which the user can click to display.

This widget will only work in quirks mode. If your application is in Standards Mode, use StackLayoutPanel instead.

CSS Style Rules

• .gwt-StackPanel { the panel itself }
• .gwt-StackPanel .gwt-StackPanelItem { unselected items }
• .gwt-StackPanel .gwt-StackPanelItem-selected { selected items }
• .gwt-StackPanel .gwt-StackPanelContent { the wrapper around the contents of the item }

Example

public class StackPanelExample implements EntryPoint {

  public void onModuleLoad() {
    // Create a stack panel containing three labels.
    StackPanel panel = new StackPanel();
    panel.add(new Label("Foo"), "foo");
    panel.add(new Label("Bar"), "bar");
    panel.add(new Label("Baz"), "baz");

    // Add it to the root panel.
    RootPanel.get().add(panel);
  }
}

add

public void add(Widget w)

Description copied from class: Panel

Adds a child widget.

How to Override this Method

There are several important things that must take place in the correct order to properly add or insert a Widget to a Panel. Not all of these steps will be relevant to every Panel, but all of the steps must be considered.

1. Validate: Perform any sanity checks to ensure the Panel can accept a new Widget. Examples: checking for a valid index on insertion; checking that the Panel is not full if there is a max capacity.
2. Adjust for Reinsertion: Some Panels need to handle the case where the Widget is already a child of this Panel. Example: when performing a reinsert, the index might need to be adjusted to account for the Widget's removal. See ComplexPanel.adjustIndex(Widget, int).
3. Detach Child: Remove the Widget from its existing parent, if any. Most Panels will simply call Widget.removeFromParent() on the Widget.
4. Logical Attach: Any state variables of the Panel should be updated to reflect the addition of the new Widget. Example: the Widget is added to the Panel's WidgetCollection at the appropriate index.
5. Physical Attach: The Widget's Element must be physically attached to the Panel's Element, either directly or indirectly.
6. Adopt: Call Panel.adopt(Widget) to finalize the add as the very last step.

How to Override this Method

There are several important things that must take place in the correct order to properly remove a Widget from a Panel. Not all of these steps will be relevant to every Panel, but all of the steps must be considered.

1. Validate: Make sure this Panel is actually the parent of the child Widget; return false if it is not.
2. Orphan: Call Panel.orphan(Widget) first while the child Widget is still attached.
3. Physical Detach: Adjust the DOM to account for the removal of the child Widget. The Widget's Element must be physically removed from the DOM.
4. Logical Detach: Update the Panel's state variables to reflect the removal of the child Widget. Example: the Widget is removed from the Panel's WidgetCollection.

Specified by:

remove in interface HasWidgets

remove in class ComplexPanel

child - the widget to be removed
