LinkItem as a Button

[chandrajeet]

I want the Linkitem to behave as a button. so instead of opening an URL I want it to listen to the Click event do some operation as in onClick just a IButton's onClick does. How can I?

Thanks

[chandrajeet]

Can someone reply to this? How can I have Link to act like a Button?

Thanks

LinkItem but that is designed to open a new window. Addling click listeners is currently not supported but I've reported this feature request. You can try using GWT's Hyperlink instead.

      Hyperlink googleLink = new Hyperlink("Google", "google");
        googleLink.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {
            public void onClick(Widget sender) {
                //
            }
        });

The latest build / SVN now supports LinkItem.addClickHandler(..);

Hyperlink LinkItem and can't Layout.add() because there are not Canvas

How to add Link on a Layout ?

final LinkItem linkItem = new LinkItem();
final Hyperlink hyperlink = new Hyperlink();

HLayout hLayout = new HLayout();
hLayout.setMembers(hyperlink, linkItem); // The method setMembers(Canvas...) in the type Layout is not applicable for the arguments (Hyperlink, LinkItem)

LinkItem extends Form, so we can't use outside a form.
Hyperlink (GWT) not extends Canvas.
So, how to display a link ?

Another question about links : How to open a new page, like mouse click whell (whith Chrome browser, open new tab and not go inside) ?
I have try com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.open(), but it's open a new tab and get the focus instead of stay on first page....

Just an Example

Add LinkItem to a DynamicForm and add the form to your Layout.

		Layout vLayout=new VLayout(10);
		vLayout.setSize("100%", "100%");
		DynamicForm frmSignOut=new DynamicForm();
		LinkItem lnkSignOut=new LinkItem();
		lnkSignOut.setShowTitle(false);
		lnkSignOut.setLinkTitle("Cerrar sesión");
		lnkSignOut.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler(){

			@Override
			public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
				//TODO handle event
			}
			
		});
		frmSignOut.setFields(lnkSignOut);
		frmSignOut.setSize("100%", "20px");
		vLayout.addMember(frmSignOut);
		vLayout.draw();
