Question

I wish to add the mouseover events to a panel which contains more than one child widget in it. When i tried it with FocusPanel i was halted by the exception “SimplePanel can only contain one child widget”. Is there any other way i can use mouse over events over the panel with multiple child widgets?
For Example in the following code

<g:FocusPanel ui:field="parent"><childwidget1/><childwidget2/><childwidget3/><g:FocusPanel>

I need to add mouseover events to the parent panel. Please Help!

Add a child FlowPanel (or whichever panel laying out several widgets, depending on your layout needs) in between the FocusPanel and child widgets:

<g:FocusPanel ui:field="parent">
  <g:FlowPanel>
    <my:childwidget1/>
    <my:childwidget2/>
    <my:childwidget3/>
  </g:FlowPanel>
</g:FocusPanel>
