In GWT, how do I get the “mouseUp” events when dragging an element?

I’d like to get the following flow:

  • mouseDown
  • mouseMove
  • … some more mouseMove possibly…
  • mouseUp

I can get “mouseDown” and “mouseUp” when I do not move the cursor but the instant I move the cursor, I don’t get “mouseUp” events anymore.

I’ve tried to put event.preventDefault(); in both “mouseDown” and “mouseMove” handlers to no avail.

Please help.

    For DnD you generally need to setCapture. And don’t forget to releaseCapture when you stop dragging (e.g. mouse up and/or escape key).

    Have a look at the code of com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.DialogBox, which does just that.
