Public Constructors

public ComplexPanel ()

Public Methods

public Widget getWidget (int index)

Gets the child widget at the specified index.

Parameters

index	the child widget's index

Returns

the child widget

public int getWidgetCount ()

Gets the number of child widgets in this panel.

Returns

the number of children

public int getWidgetIndex (Widget child)

Gets the index of the specified child widget.

Parameters

child	the widget to be found

Returns

the widget's index, or -1 if it is not a child of this panel

public int getWidgetIndex (IsWidget child)

public Iterator<Widget> iterator ()

public boolean remove (Widget w)

Removes a child widget.

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.

Validate: Make sure this Panel is actually the parent of the child Widget; return false if it is not.
Orphan: Call orphan(Widget) first while the child Widget is still attached.
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.
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.

Parameters

w	the widget to be removed

Returns

true if the child was present

public boolean remove (int index)

Removes the widget at the specified index.

Parameters

index	the index of the widget to be removed

Returns

false if the widget is not present

Protected Methods

protected void add (Widget child, Element container)

Adds a new child widget to the panel, attaching its Element to the specified container Element.

Parameters

child	the child widget to be added
container	the element within which the child will be contained

protected int adjustIndex (Widget child, int beforeIndex)

Adjusts beforeIndex to account for the possibility that the given widget is already a child of this panel.

Parameters

child	the widget that might be an existing child
beforeIndex	the index at which it will be added to this panel

Returns

the modified index

protected void checkIndexBoundsForAccess (int index)

Checks that index is in the range [0, getWidgetCount()), which is the valid range on accessible indexes.

Parameters

index	the index being accessed

protected void checkIndexBoundsForInsertion (int index)

Checks that index is in the range [0, getWidgetCount()], which is the valid range for indexes on an insertion.

Parameters

index	the index where insertion will occur

protected WidgetCollection getChildren ()

Gets the list of children contained in this panel.

Returns

a collection of child widgets

protected void insert (Widget child, Element container, int beforeIndex, boolean domInsert)

Insert a new child Widget into this Panel at a specified index, attaching its Element to the specified container Element. The child Element will either be attached to the container at the same index, or simply appended to the container, depending on the value of domInsert.

Parameters

child	the child Widget to be added
container	the Element within which `child` will be contained
beforeIndex	the index before which `child` will be inserted
domInsert	if `true`, insert `child` into `container` at `beforeIndex`; otherwise append `child` to the end of `container`.

protected void insert (Widget child, Element container, int beforeIndex)

This method is deprecated.
Use insert(Widget, Element, int, boolean) instead

This method was used by subclasses to insert a new child Widget. It is now deprecated because it was ambiguous whether the child should be appended to container element versus inserted into container at beforeIndex. Use insert(Widget, Element, int, boolean), which clarifies this ambiguity.
