Select All On Focus of GWT SuggestBox

Question

I've been searching and searching and can't find a usable example of selecting all text within a GWT SuggestBox widget on focus. I understand you have to attach a focusListener to the widget, but then what? Can someone provide a working example of this?

Answer 1

Since every example I'd found online was using deprecated code (addFocusListener method), I ended up figuring this one out using the addFocusHandler method instead.

Here's how it was done:

    mySuggestBox.getTextBox().addFocusHandler(new FocusHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onFocus(FocusEvent event) {
            mySuggestBox.getTextBox().selectAll();
        }
    });
