SimpleCheckBox

public SimpleCheckBox()

Creates a new simple checkbox.

SimpleCheckBox

protected SimpleCheckBox(Element element)

This constructor may be used by subclasses to explicitly use an existing element. This element must be an <input> element whose type is either 'checkbox'.

Parameters:

element - the element to be used

wrap

public static SimpleCheckBox wrap(Element element)

Creates a SimpleCheckBox widget that wraps an existing <input type='checkbox'> element. This element must already be attached to the document. If the element is removed from the document, you must call RootPanel.detachNow(Widget).

Parameters:

element - the element to be wrapped

asEditor

public LeafValueEditor<java.lang.Boolean> asEditor()

Description copied from interface: IsEditor

Returns the Editor encapsulated by the view object.

Specified by:

asEditor in interface IsEditor<LeafValueEditor<java.lang.Boolean>>

Returns:

an Editor of type E

getFormValue

public java.lang.String getFormValue()

Returns the value property of the input element that backs this widget. This is the value that will be associated with the check box name and submitted to the server if a FormPanel that holds it is submitted and the box is checked.

Don't confuse this with getValue(), which returns true or false if the widget is checked.

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: HasName

Gets the widget's name.

Specified by:

getName in interface HasName

Returns:

the widget's name

Determines whether this check box is currently checked.

Note that this does not return the value property of the checkbox input element wrapped by this widget. For access to that property, see getFormValue()

Specified by:

getValue in interface TakesValue<java.lang.Boolean>

Returns:

true if the check box is checked, false otherwise. Will not return null

See Also:

setFormValue

public void setFormValue(java.lang.String value)

Set the value property on the input element that backs this widget. This is the value that will be associated with the check box's name and submitted to the server if a FormPanel that holds it is submitted and the box is checked.

Don't confuse this with setValue(java.lang.Boolean), which actually checks and unchecks the box.

Parameters:

value -
