    • setWarning

      public void setWarning(String warning)
      Set a message to warn the user that it might be unwise to navigate away from the current place, e.g. due to unsaved changes. If the user clicks okay to that message, navigation will be canceled.

      Calling with a null warning is the same as not calling the method at all -- the user will not be prompted.

      Only the first non-null call to setWarning has any effect. That is, once the warning message has been set it cannot be cleared.

      Parameters:
      warning - the warning message as a String

      protected void dispatch(PlaceChangeRequestEvent.Handler handler)
      Description copied from class: GwtEvent
      Should only be called by HandlerManager. In other words, do not use or call.
      Specified by:
      dispatch in class GwtEvent<PlaceChangeRequestEvent.Handler>
      Parameters:
      handler - handler
