What is the auto child name for a StaticTextItem's canvas?

SmartGWT 4.1p 5/19/2014

I have a static text item that pops up a dialog on click. I want to change the cursor of just this item to a pointer on hover so the user gets additional visual feedback that it's clickable. I can't find in any docs a list of auto child names for objects that utilize them. The auto child doc is helpful but also doesn't contain a comprehensive list. Can you tell me what name to use? Is there somewhere I can find these names in the future?
Thanks!

Example:

StaticTextItem test = new StaticTextItem("test");

test.setValue("<u>Click Me</u>");
test.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler()
{
      @Override
      public void onClick(ClickEvent event)
      {
          //open dialog
      }      
});

Canvas autoChild = new Canvas();
autoChild.setCursor(Cursor.POINTER);

test.setAutoChildProperties("???", autoChild);

If you search the docs for any particular class with the phrase "autoChild", you will hit all the AutoChildren.

StaticTextItem does not have any autoChildren. If you wanted to add a clickable area, we'd recommend just adding a FormItemIcon, which will already have a cursor indicating interactivity. If that's somehow not enough, use CanvasItem to embed your own Canvas.

Oh, ok. Any reason why the APIs for StaticTextItem show a changeAutoChildDefaults method?

Because AutoChildren could be added in the future or in a subclass.

Unfortunately I need text there and not an icon. If FormItemIcon allowed text (standalone or alongside an icon) I could use that.

I've worked with CanvasItem before, and it looks like I'll have to go that route, but I must say it's a bit of overkill just to be able to apply a Cursor.

StaticTextItem content is wrapped in a <div> so it should be doable to add a setCursor method in the future - that would be nice. :)

If you are trying to create clickable text, it seems that you are re-inventing ButtonItem or LinkItem.

Uhhh...crap. I didn't know about those. I was looking only at the list of classes that directly inherit FormItem. Thanks!
