Use the animate method from gwtquery to move the widget to the panel position (just a line of code) , dont forget to add a callback function in order to add the widget to the panel after the animation has been finished and maintain the gwt widget hierarchy.
BTW: gquery uses gwt-animate as its low-level function. Example code: // Create your widgets and add to the document final HorizontalPanel panel = new HorizontalPanel(); final HTMLPanel widget = new HTMLPanel("Hello World"); RootPanel.get().add(panel); RootPanel.get().add(widget); // Style your widgets, gwtquery makes it easy $(panel).css($$("bottom:0px; position:fixed; border: solid 1px; width: 200px; height: 40px;")); $(widget).css($$("top: 50%; left: 50%; position:fixed; border: solid 1px; width: 150px")); // Compute the final position of your widget Properties props = $$("top: " + $(panel).top() + ", left:" + $(panel).left()); // animate it and run a callback function $(widget).animate(props, 2000, new Function(){ public void f() { panel.add(widget); $(widget).css($$("position: relative")); } }); On Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 3:47 PM, Tony Rah <xsegr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here are some tips for such a thing in GWTLand.
