I ended up defining this as shown below:
class LabelValue(HorizontalPanel):
def __init__(self, label, value, label_style = 'label', value_style =
'value', own_style = None):
HorizontalPanel.__init__(self, HorizontalAlignment = HasAlignment.
ALIGN_LEFT, VerticalAlignment = HasAlignment.ALIGN_MIDDLE)
label = MyHTML(label, label_style)
self.value = MyHTML(value, value_style)
self.add(label)
self.add(self.value)
if own_style: self.setStyleName(own_style)
def update(self, value):
self.value.setText(value)
The idea being that I want a different style for the label and for the
value, and that I want to change the value now and then.
For the time being it is serving my purposes, but this is my first
"personal widget", so please let me know if I am doing something terribly
stupid.
Thanks,
Daniel
