GWT Widget Library

Wrap existing HTML elements as widgets. Support for hyperlinks, images, buttons, and panels.

WButton action = new WButton("action-button");

WHyperlink searchLink = new WHyperlink("link-to-search");

WPanel content = new WPanel("content");

WImage headerImg = new WImage("header-image");


Wrap an existing HTML element with the most appropriate wrapper.

WrappedWidget navLinkSearch = WBuilder.getWidgetFromDOM("nav-link-search");

if (navLinkSearch.isHyperlink()) {
((WHyperlink)navLinkSearch).addClickListener(navListener);
}


Replace existing elements and widgets on the page with other widgets.

WBuilder.replaceElementWithWidget(element, widget);

WBuilder.replaceWidget(oldWidget, newWidget);
