AddRowButton Add-on - Vaadin Add-on Directory
Add-on encapsulating Add row to Grid - Edit - Delete by Cancel sequence in extended ButtonVaadin 7 Grid does not yet have editor event. This is a small short coming
if you want to create button to add a row to your grid with the following
logic
1. Click button to add a row
2. Activate editor on the new row
3. Delete row if user selected to click cancel instead of save
Hence I wrote this experimental add-on, which encapsulates needed logic
in form of extended Vaadin Button.
Notes
* Works currently only with BeanItemContainer
* Uses threads, hence Push needs to be enabled
* Beans used with AddRowButton must have default constructor without
parameters in order to intanstiate
* Doesn't work with Vaadin 7.6.1 - 7.6.2 due layout bug in Editor
* Doesn't work with Vaadin 7.5.4 and older due bug Grid row book
keeping
Status of this utility is experimental. I hope this is also useful demo
case how to work with Vaadin using threads.
### Usage:
Setup the Grid first.
Usage
