Question

I have created some custom composite widget, which listens to an events (in my case loginEvent). Once the event is caught the state of the widget changes so as the way it should look (in my case I would like to change one of the icons to a signal that the user is logged in).

However, after the event is caught, can I make the widget draw itself again according to the new state?

I am pretty new to GWT so be gentle and please elaborate...

There is many ways to do this. This example shows how to show Login/Logout and toggle visibility when a user logged in event is raised.

public class LoginLogoutWidget extends Compostite {
    private final Anchor m_loginLink;
    private final Anchor m_logoutLink;

    public LoginLogoutWidget() {

        m_loginLink = new Anchor("Login");
        //Register event handlers etc

        m_logoutLink = new Anchor("Logout");
        //Register event handlers etc

        HorizontalPanel hp = new HorizontalPanel();

        hp.add(m_loginLink);
        hp.add(m_logoutLink);

        initWidget(hp);

        //Default login visible, and logout invisible
        m_logoutLink.setVisible(false);
    }

    public void onLoginEvent(boolean loggedIn) {        
        m_loginLink.setVisible(!loggedIn);
        m_logoutLink.setVisible(loggedIn);  
    }
}
