I'm trying to generate a action based of the selection of a timeline cell that contains no events. I thought that by adding a backgroundClickHandler an event would be generated when a empty cell was selected. In the event handler I hope to among other things call timeline.getLaneFromPoint to get the lane, also want to get lane headers. Anyway

My call back looks like: (copied by hand from a another system)

timeline.addBackgroundClickHandler( new BackgroundClickHandler(){
@Override
public void onBackgroundClick(BackgroundClickEvent event) {
SC.say("Made it");
}
}

In my full code just before I add this event handler I call timeline.addDateChangedHandler which works fine.

Is my understanding of backgroundClickHander incorrect/Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug.


Thanks ....

As it turns out the canCreateEvents(true) must be set on the timeline for this event to fired. This seems a bit counter intuitive to me however the event provided with the callback has a cancel method which lets me ignore the edit and still get the callback.

Thanks
