In searching through the source code, I decided on the following work-
around when instantiating a MenuBar. Unfortunately, it doesn't handle
every scenario, but it gets most of them right.
MenuBar bar = new MenuBar() {
@Override
public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
super.onBrowserEvent(event);
if (DOM.eventGetType(event) == Event.ONMOUSEOUT) {
Element barEle = getElement();
Element outEle = DOM.eventGetFromElement(event);
Element toEle = DOM.eventGetToElement(event);
if (DOM.isOrHasChild(barEle, outEle) &&
!DOM.isOrHasChild(barEle,
toEle)) {
// Focus has shifted off of the MenuBar.
But is it now on a sub-
menu?
boolean onSubMenu = false;
for (MenuItem mi : this.getItems()) {
MenuBar subMenu = mi.getSubMenu();
Widget parent = subMenu == null ? null
: subMenu.getParent();
Element parEle = parent == null ? null
: parent.getElement();
if ((parEle != null) &&
(DOM.isOrHasChild(parEle, toEle))) {
onSubMenu = true;
break;
}
}
if (!onSubMenu) {
MenuItem mi = getSelectedItem();
if (mi != null) {
mi.removeStyleDependentName("selected");
}
}
}
}
}
@Override
public void onPopupClosed(PopupPanel sender, boolean autoClosed) {
MenuItem mi = getSelectedItem();
if (mi != null) {
// Is the closed Popup the currently selected menu
item?
if (mi.getSubMenu() == sender.getWidget()) {
mi.removeStyleDependentName("selected");
}
}
super.onPopupClosed(sender, autoClosed);
}
};
Hope this helps someone else,
john...
PS. Please let me know if this is going to be fixed in a future
release, or let me know what I can do to get it on that list.
