Is there any event in editTextCell?

Any help or guidance in this matter would be appreciated.

If you want a specific behavior in a Cell, then you have a to make a Cell with that behavior built in.

You could start with an EditTextCell if that's what you want, and then extend it and override its onBrowserEvent to cancel key events for spaces when in edit mode, or something like that.

Thanks for reply. How to cancel key events for spaces when in edit mode? – StackOverFlow Mar 28 '12 at 03:59
You mean [cancelling events](http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/dom/client/NativeEvent.html#preventDefault%28%29) whose [type](http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/dom/client/NativeEvent.html#getType%28%29) is `keypress`, when [in edit mode](http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/cell/client/Cell.html#isEditing%28com.google.gwt.cell.client.Cell.Context,%20com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element,%20C%29)? – Thomas Broyer Mar 28 '12 at 09:13
Can you provide sample code for the same ? onBrowserEvent { // How to avoid entering particular value like space (spacebar) ?} – StackOverFlow May 07 '12 at 08:45

Here is the answer with sample code :)
KeyCode of SpaceBar 32

 @Override
            public void onBrowserEvent(Context context, Element parent,
                    String value, NativeEvent event,
                    ValueUpdater<String> valueUpdater) {
                super.onBrowserEvent(context, parent, value, event, valueUpdater);
                boolean isEditing = isEditing(context, parent, value);

                if(isEditing){
                    if(event!=null){
                        info(" event.getKeyCode() = "+event.getKeyCode()+" :: value ="+value);
                        if(event.getKeyCode()==32)){
                            event.preventDefault();
                            return;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
