GWT - Basic Widgets


Every user interface considers the following three main aspects:
  • UI elements : Thes are the core visual elements the user eventually sees and interacts with. GWT provides a huge list of widely used and common elements varying from basic to complex which we will cover in this tutorial.
  • Layouts: They define how UI elements should be organized on the screen and provide a final look and feel to the GUI (Graphical User Interface). This part will be covered in Layout chapter.
  • Behavior: These are events which occur when the user interacts with UI elements. This part will be covered in Event Handling chapter.

GWT UI Elements:

The GWT library provides classes in a well-defined class hierarchy to create complex web-based user interfaces. All classes in this component hierarchy has been derived from theUIObject base class as shown below:

Every Basic UI widget inherits properties from Widget class which in turn inherits properties from UIObject. Tree and Menu will be covered in complex widgets tutorial.
