CustomButton and ImageBundles don't display in design window

[SoulDad57]

I have migrated all my button faces from CSS "sprites" to ImageBundles and CustomButton (PushButton to be exact).

My application works fine, but the buttons do not display properly in the design window or the preview window. Instead a generic text label of the button class name is displayed on a pink background.

I assume that the problem is related to the fact that I am using ImageBundles. Any suggestions?


TIA

Rick

That means that the widget threw an exception and a placeholder is being used rather than the actual component.

Your ".log" file should indicate the reason.

Feel free to send us a test case and your complete Eclipse ".log" file.

There is no trace in the '.log' file.

Here is the only Java code required for a test case:

Code: Select all

public class ImageViewer implements EntryPoint {
   public void onModuleLoad() {
      RootPanel rootPanel = RootPanel.get();

      final Images theBundle = (Images)GWT.create(Images.class);
      final PushButton pushButton = new PushButton("Up text", "Down text");
      pushButton.getUpHoveringFace().setImage(theBundle.downFace().createImage());
      pushButton.getUpFace().setImage(theBundle.upFace().createImage());
      pushButton.getDownFace().setImage(theBundle.downFace().createImage());
      rootPanel.add(pushButton, 49, 71);
      pushButton.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {
         public void onClick(final Widget sender) {
            Window.alert("RING RING!");
         }
      });
      pushButton.setStyleName("my-Pushbutton");
   }
   
    public interface Images extends ImageBundle {
       
       /**
        *
        * @gwt.resource com/cisco/buttontest/public/button.png
        */
          AbstractImagePrototype upFace();
          
       /**
        *
        * @gwt.resource com/cisco/buttontest/public/button-down.png
        */
          AbstractImagePrototype downFace();
          

    }

}


I can send you the zipped project folder if you like, it's small (250K).

Give this a try in the latest build.

We added support for @gwt.resource JavaDoc tags.
