ListGridField - Widget as contents?

[aarnott]

Is there any way to display a Widget inside a ListGridField, rather than just raw HTML? I'd like to use the GWT Hyperlink class to create internal links, but just providing <a href="#something"> causes internet explorer 8 (I haven't tested others yet) to refresh the page when I click the link.

I probably could add a cell click handler, style the cell to look like a hyperlink, and add an item to the history on a cell click, but then I can't provide "open in a new window".

See this sample.

That sample creates external links. I'd like to have links that behave properly with GWT's history management.

If you really need widgets in cells, see this sample. You can use a DynamicForm with a LinkItem and register a click handler. Note that using widgets in cells is not very efficient and you should try using ListGridFieldType.ICON instead if possible.

Awesome! Thanks -- that solves my problem.
