Using SectionHeaderClick - Handle Header Clicks

[superman859]

I am using a section stack as a navigation region, and there are a couple of sections that do not really have sub-sections. For these, I would like for the section headers to be used as links (such as Home and Logout)

I browsed the Javadocs and thought maybe I could use sectionHeaderClick(), but I couldn't figure out how to properly use that. I found a couple examples in the forums for it, but they applied to the Javascript version and not GWT version.

If I have a couple sections in the stack and want to handle an event when those sections are clicked, how can I do it? Do I use sectionHeaderClick(), and if so, can anyone provide a simple example in GWT?

For example, when someone clicks the header that reads "Home", instead of opening and displaying a listgrid (what I use for links), I would rather it simply do

History.newItem("home");

But if possible, I would prefer it to only do this on certain headers, not all of them. Or, at the very least, be able to perform a check to see if it is one of two section headers, and if so fire the history item, if not then use default expand / collapse behavior.

Any tips?

It seems like a TreeGrid would more directly implement what you want. You can style the rows that are meant as section headers differently from the other rows.

Hello,

I have SectionStack with several buttons: some are collapsible, some are not.
I use smartGWT 2.0, and tried to addSectionHeaderClickHandler, but it isn't invoked onclick for non-collapsible buttons.

Is there a solution for smartGWT2.0?

SectionStack navigationContainer = new SectionStack();
        final SectionStackSection button = new SectionStackSection("1");
        button.setCanCollapse(false);
button.setID("noncollapse");
        navigationContainer.addSection(button);

        final SectionStackSection button2 = new SectionStackSection("2");
        button2.setCanCollapse(true);
button2.setID("collapse");

        navigationContainer.addSection(button2);

SectionHeaderClickHandler handler = new SectionHeaderClickHandler() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSectionHeaderClick(SectionHeaderClickEvent event) {
                        if(event.getSection().getID().equals("noncollapse")){
                            SC.say("hello");
                        }
                    }
                };


        navigationContainer.addSectionHeaderClickHandler(clickHandler);

thank you
