[GEF5] Click policies chain [message #1760757]

I have Pane with another Pane children. I want to add OnClickHandler which will add another componentns as childrens on TOP Pane. When i click on TOP pane which has parent Pane several OnClick events invoked by ClickDragGesture. How i can skip all events on parent Pane and handle only last event in chain to add children only to TOP Panel?

What you mean is that the ClickDragGesture invokes multiple IOnClickHandlers (for all panes in the hierarchy), right? What you have to do in this case is to bind a different IHandlerResolver, which adjusts the default behavior by only forwarding it to a single pane (instead of all in the chain).

Alternatively, you can simply use the AbstractHandler#isRegistered(EventTarget) and #isRegisteredForHost(EventTarget) methods to guard the IOnClickHandler implementations from running when the received event is not designated for their host. For a usage example, you can take a look at the FocusAndSelectOnClickPolicy:

// check if the host is the explicit event target
if (isRegistered(e.getTarget())
		&& !isRegisteredForHost(e.getTarget())) {
	// do not process events for other parts
	return;
}

Best regards,
Matthias
