Okay, got it to work but it feels ugly. In my 'east' I put a class SimpleDisplayUi which is a UiBinder class. Its ui.xml just has a SimplePanel.
The trick was in SimpleDisplayUi.showActivityWidget(IsWidget widget) to do simplePanel.setWidget(widget.asWidget()); It seems there are two many layers from DockLayoutPanel to 'east' to SimpleDisplayUi to SimplePanel and finally to the actual panel(s) that can be changed. There are a Activity classes that seem superfluous like SimpleActivity just to create SimpleDisplayUi. It doesn't get created or called. I'll look at cleaning this up but getting SimpleDisplayUi working was painful so I'm not sure there is much leeway. Just look at its declaration: public class SimpleDisplayUi extends Composite implements SimpleActivity.SimpleDisplayUi, Display { } Rud http://mysticlakesoftware.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
