Fwd: ListButton Lookup
Forwarding to the dev list - see message below. How might we allow callers
to get notified when the user presses keys once the list button's popup is
open? The popup isn't exposed directly -- it's managed by the skin...

Hi Marcos,
No, the ListButton component doesn't automatically jump to a particular list
item upon the user typing because the list data is of type List<Object>.
You can implement this manually by registering a ComponentKeyListener on
the component and calling listButton.setSelectedIndex() based on what the
user typed.
However, you won't have the option of registering that listener on the list
button's popup... let me ask this of the developer list and see what they
say about how we could address this in a future release.
Cheers,
-T

Yeah, I like providing access to the Window better. Seems more general and
still meets this use case.

Just thinking out loud...we could provide a ListButton.Skin method that provides access to the list:
public class ListButton {
public interface Skin {
public Component getListComponent();
}
...
}
The method wouldn't return an actual ListView instance since that would allow the caller to modify the list view's state directly, violating encapsulation. However, it would allow the caller to register component event listeners on the list.
Alternatively, the method could be defined to return the Window that contains the list, rather than the list itself (e.g. getListViewPopup()). This might be cleaner (and more useful, since a caller could then listen on window events such as windowOpened() and windowClosed()).
