Issue 1309: RFE Make the current event globally accessible
1 person starred this issue and may be notified of changes. Back to list
 
Reported by ispeters, Jun 27, 2007
Found in GWT Release:

1.4.10

Detailed description:

The current browser event is not accessible to any code except the
onBrowserEvent that is handling it.  The inaccessibility of the current
event makes it difficult to do things like cancelBubble() and
preventDefault().  It would be nice if a KeyboardListener could easily
cancel the current key or a MouseListener could easily prevent the current
event from bubbling but, to do that, there needs to be a centralized place
from which to retrieve the current event.

Workaround if you have one:

None that I can think of.
