events to Window

[esmith]

Hello,

I am using
SmartClient Version: v8.3p_2013-04-19/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2013-04-19)

I am having trouble getting the event to "hide" my window when I want to.

I have a class

public class SearchWindowArea extends Window {
...

This class has some things displayed in it. Including

	TextItem textItem = new TextItem();
	ListGrid listGrid = new ListGrid();

We show the listGrid when the user types some text in the textItem. And when the user moves outside the "Window" class I have AND (and this is the hard part) select somewhere else in the parent of Window. I want to "hide" the listGrid in window.

How can I trap ALL events that mouse makes so that I can have listGrid hidden when the user clicks outside of it.

I have added various handlers to listgird and window and not managed to get it right.

Here are some of the handlers I tried. Is there anyway to make this posting window on the thread wider? So that my code below is not wrapped so oddly?

Thanks,
Evan

	private void setupHideListGridHandlers() {
		// TODO
		// What we want is ALL mouse events to be caught by the window which can then figure out if it wants to hide itself.
		// So I "think" a way is through this.addEvent would be what we want to try using.
		// Not sure how to do this, might take some thought...

		// not sure this is what we want
		ClickHandler clickHandlerWindow = new ClickHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
				if (!(getCurrentGrid().containsEvent() || toolStrip.containsEvent())) {
					forceHideGrid();
				}
			}
		};
		this.addClickHandler(clickHandlerWindow);

		FocusChangedHandler focusChangedHandler1 = new FocusChangedHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onFocusChanged(FocusChangedEvent event) {
				hideTheListGrid();
			};
		};
		this.addFocusChangedHandler(focusChangedHandler1);

		FocusChangedHandler focusChangedHandler2 = new FocusChangedHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onFocusChanged(FocusChangedEvent event) {
				hideTheListGrid();
			};
		};
		listGrid.addFocusChangedHandler(focusChangedHandler2);
		treeGrid.addFocusChangedHandler(focusChangedHandler2);

		BlurHandler blurHandler = new BlurHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onBlur(BlurEvent event) {
				hideTheListGrid();
			}
		};
		textItem.addBlurHandler(blurHandler);

		// This is the one that really controls the list grid
		MouseOutHandler handlerMouseOutHandler = new MouseOutHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onMouseOut(MouseOutEvent event) {
				hideTheListGrid();
			}

		};
		this.addMouseOutHandler(handlerMouseOutHandler);

		SelectionChangedHandler selectionChangedHandler = new SelectionChangedHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onSelectionChanged(SelectionEvent event) {
				textItem.focusInItem();
			}

		};
		listGrid.addSelectionChangedHandler(selectionChangedHandler);
		
	}

The most common approach for this sort of thing is to use the ClickMask -- you can call "showClickMask" to get a notification (and if required the option to suppress default behavior) when the user attempts to interact with the page outside some specific component.

Also on formatting code - you can enclose your code block in [code] tags and it'll format correctly. We've edited your original post to do this
