<g:tab> does not take have a ui:field attribute I found this in TabLayoutPanel's javadoc:
The children of a TabLayoutPanel element are laid out in <g:tab> elements. Each tab can have one widget child and one of two types of header elements. A <g:header> element can hold html, or a <g:customHeader> element can hold a widget. (Note that the tags of the header elements are not capitalized. This is meant to signal that the head is not a runtime object, and so cannot have a ui:field attribute.) However your suggestion led me to another solution I changed <g:TabLayoutPanel barUnit='EM' barHeight='3'> <g:tab > ......... <g:tab> <g:tab > ......... <g:tab> </g:TabLayoutPanel> to this <g:TabLayoutPanel barUnit='EM' barHeight='3' ui:field="tabLayout"> <g:tab > ......... <g:tab> <g:tab > ......... <g:tab> </g:TabLayoutPanel> Now the parent widget has reference to TabLayoutPanel and I can add event handlers to it. I don't like this very much because the parent module holds tabLayoutPanel's reference and is responsible for adding event handlers. I would like the individual tabs or the composites they hold to receive events directly so that the event registration and handling logic resides within the tab / composite. Anyway, I have something working for now, I'll see what more can be done. Thanks! If anyone has suggestions about making this more modular please write in!
