      • updateCaption

        public void updateCaption​(ComponentConnector component)
        Description copied from interface: HasComponentsConnector
        Update child components caption, description and error message.

        Each component is responsible for maintaining its caption, description and error message. In most cases components doesn't want to do that and those elements reside outside of the component. Because of this layouts must provide service for it's childen to show those elements for them.

        Parameters:
        component - Child component for which service is requested.
      • onConnectorHierarchyChange

        public void onConnectorHierarchyChange​(ConnectorHierarchyChangeEvent event)
        Called by the framework when the list of child components of the connector implementing this interface has changed. The implementation is responsible for attaching the widgets of any new children and detaching the widgets of any removed children. Implementations should typically also make sure that the child widgets are attached according to the ordering of the child components.

        This method is called after the shared state and hierarchy data (i.e. AbstractHasComponentsConnector.setChildComponents(List)) been updated for all affected connectors, but before updating captions, firing state change events, invoking updateFromUIDL for legacy connectors, invoking RPC and starting the layout phase.

        Please note that hierarchy change events are fired in a non-deterministic order when a message from the server causes multiple parts of the hierarchy to change. This means that the old parent connector might not yet have detached a child widget and that the widget of a removed child might already have been attached by its new parent.

        Parameters:
        event - the event with information about the hierarchy change
