Refresh widget

[titobundy]

Hi.

I'm beginner in GWT, and I need to change the contents of a widget when a button is pressed.

Example:

Widget wContents = new CanvasMain1();

button click -> wContents = new CanvasMain2();

but the widget not changed in the screen...

Please, What is the correct way?

Hi titobundy, We don't mean to sound rude, but this is an fairly basic Java related question on how new objects and references work. You need to call methods on wContents to update its appearance and cannot reassign a new instance and expect the appearance to change.

I tried deleting the contents and adding a new one, through the methods removeChildren / addChildren, but did not work

I want to do something like:

I think the key is to use the class History...
