public DirectionEstimator getDirectionEstimator()

Gets the direction estimation model of the auto-dir handler.

Specified by:

getDirectionEstimator in interface HasDirectionEstimator

the widget's name

getSelectedText

public java.lang.String getSelectedText()

Gets the text currently selected within this text box.

Returns:

the selected text, or an empty string if none is selected

getSelectionLength

public int getSelectionLength()

Gets the length of the current text selection.

Returns:

the text selection length

getText

public java.lang.String getText()

Description copied from interface: HasText

Gets this object's text.

Specified by:

getText in interface AutoDirectionHandler.Target

Specified by:

getText in interface HasText

Returns:

the object's text

getValue

public T getValue()

Return the parsed value, or null if the field is empty or parsing fails.

Specified by:

getValue in interface TakesValue<T>

Specified by:

getValue in interface HasValue<T>

Returns:

the object's value

See Also:

TakesValue.setValue(V)

getValueOrThrow

public T getValueOrThrow()
                  throws java.text.ParseException

Return the parsed value, or null if the field is empty.

Throws:

java.text.ParseException - if the value cannot be parsed

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

Determines whether or not the widget is read-only.

Returns:

true if the widget is currently read-only, false if the widget is currently editable

onBrowserEvent

public void onBrowserEvent(Event event)

Description copied from interface: EventListener

Fired whenever a browser event is received.

Specified by:

onBrowserEvent in interface EventListener

Overrides:

onBrowserEvent in class Widget

Parameters:

event - the event received

removeChangeListener

@Deprecated
public void removeChangeListener(ChangeListener listener)

Deprecated. Use the HandlerRegistration.removeHandler() method on the object returned by addChangeHandler(com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.ChangeHandler) instead

selectAll

public void selectAll()

Selects all of the text in the box. This will only work when the widget is attached to the document and not hidden.

setAlignment

public void setAlignment(ValueBoxBase.TextAlignment align)

setCursorPos

public void setCursorPos(int pos)

Sets the cursor position. This will only work when the widget is attached to the document and not hidden.

Parameters:

pos - the new cursor position

setDirection

public void setDirection(HasDirection.Direction direction)

Description copied from interface: HasDirection

Sets the directionality for a widget.

Specified by:

setDirection in interface HasDirection

Parameters:

direction - RTL if the directionality should be set to right-to-left, LTR if the directionality should be set to left-to-right DEFAULT if the directionality should not be explicitly set

setDirectionEstimator

public void setDirectionEstimator(boolean enabled)

Toggles on / off direction estimation.

Specified by:

setDirectionEstimator in interface HasDirectionEstimator

Parameters:

enabled - Whether to enable direction estimation. If true, sets the DirectionEstimator object to a default DirectionEstimator.

setDirectionEstimator

public void setDirectionEstimator(DirectionEstimator directionEstimator)

Sets the direction estimation model of the auto-dir handler.

Specified by:

setDirectionEstimator in interface HasDirectionEstimator

Parameters:

directionEstimator - The DirectionEstimator to be set. null means turning off direction estimation.

setKey

@Deprecated
public void setKey(char key)

Deprecated. this method only works in IE and should not have been added to the API

If a keyboard event is currently being handled by the text box, this method replaces the unicode character or key code associated with it. This allows listeners to easily filter keyboard input.

Parameters:

key - the new key value

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: HasName

Sets the widget's name.

Specified by:

setName in interface HasName

Parameters:

name - the widget's new name

setReadOnly

Parameters:

pos - the position of the first character to be selected

length - the number of characters to be selected

setText

public void setText(java.lang.String text)

Sets this object's text. Note that some browsers will manipulate the text before adding it to the widget. For example, most browsers will strip all \r from the text, except IE which will add a \r before each \n. Use getText() to get the text directly from the widget.

Specified by:

setText in interface AutoDirectionHandler.Target

Specified by:

setText in interface HasText

Parameters:

text - the object's new text

setValue

public void setValue(T value)

Description copied from interface: HasValue

Sets this object's value without firing any events. This should be identical to calling setValue(value, false).

It is acceptable to fail assertions or throw (documented) unchecked exceptions in response to bad values.

Widgets must accept null as a valid value. By convention, setting a widget to null clears value, calling getValue() on a cleared widget returns null. Widgets that can not be cleared (e.g. CheckBox) must find another valid meaning for null input.

Specified by:

setValue in interface TakesValue<T>

Specified by:

setValue in interface HasValue<T>

Parameters:

value - the object's new value

See Also:

TakesValue.getValue()

setValue

public void setValue(T value,
                     boolean fireEvents)

Description copied from interface: HasValue

Sets this object's value. Fires ValueChangeEvent when fireEvents is true and the new value does not equal the existing value.

It is acceptable to fail assertions or throw (documented) unchecked exceptions in response to bad values.

Specified by:

setValue in interface HasValue<T>

Parameters:

value - the object's new value

fireEvents - fire events if true and value is new

getImpl

protected com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.impl.TextBoxImpl getImpl()

onLoad

protected void onLoad()

Description copied from class: Widget

This method is called immediately after a widget becomes attached to the browser's document.

Overrides:

onLoad in class Widget
