GWTLib is a lightweight GWT widget library that currently includes MenuBar, PagingBar, Table, PagingTable and StyleListBox widgets. It does not rely on any external Javascript libraries and has no dependencies except GWT itself. GWTLib is compatible with GWT 1.5 and higher.
The MenuBar widget is an extension of the standard GWT MenuBar that adds menu item toggling and enabling/disabling.
The PagingBar widget can be used to navigate through any given number of items. The total number of items, the page size (which may be one) and the page size presets can all be configured.
The Table widget has the following features:
- ContentProvider interface for data retrieval.
- Renderer interface for rendering different types of data. Currently included implementations are StringRenderer (the default), NumberRenderer, DateTimeRenderer, CheckBoxRenderer, ListBoxRenderer, ButtonRenderer, TextBoxRenderer, HyperlinkRenderer and ImageRenderer. The sample demonstrates all nine.
- Sorting support.
- Client side caching.
- Row, column and cell selection.
In its most simple form, it just renders strings:
The PagingTable combines the Table and PagingBar widgets and adds pagination to the standard table. Like Table itself, it is not limited to displaying strings, but can display any widget in its cells using the included or custom Renderer implementations.
The StyleListBox widget adds style support to individual items of the standard GWT ListBox.
