getting a component's default size before it has been rendered

[asimpkins]

I'm working on a new layout, and I need a way to get a component's default size before it has been rendered. Is there a good way to do this?

As an example, the following code:


public class Test implements EntryPoint {
public void onModuleLoad() {
TextField textField = new TextField();

System.out.println(textField.getOffsetWidth() + ", " + textField.getOffsetHeight());

Window window = new Window();
window.add(textField);
window.show();

System.out.println(textField.getOffsetWidth() + ", " + textField.getOffsetHeight());

window.hide();
}
}...will output:


0, 0
122, 22I'm looking for a way to access that "122, 22" value without having to actually add it to a container and display it. Is this possible?

You will not be able to obtain the components size before it is rendered.
