I would like to have a handler on a column of my cellTable.The column is an ImageResourceCell and I would that when I click on it, it delete the row Here is my code

Column<MyObject, ImageResource> imageColumn = 
    new Column<MyObject, ImageResource>(newImageResourceCell()) {
        @Override
        public ImageResource  getValue(MyObject object) {
             return Bundle.Util.getInstance().deleteRegexButton();
        }
    }; 
cellTable.addColumn(imageColumn,SafeHtmlUtils.fromSafeConstant("<br/>");

But I didn't know how to insert a handler as described Is it possible ??

any suggestions are welcome

Thanks.

Cells have to declare the events they handle, then the browser event can be passed to the cell.

    ImageResourceCell myImgCell = new ImageResourceCell() {
        public Set<String> getConsumedEvents() {
            HashSet<String> events = new HashSet<String>();
            events.add("click");
            return events;
        }
    };

    Column<MyObject, ImageResource> imageColumn = new Column<MyObject, ImageResource>(myImgCell) {
        @Override
        public ImageResource getValue(MyObject dataObj) {
                    return Bundle.Util.getInstance().deleteRegexButton();
        }

        @Override
        public void onBrowserEvent(Context context, Element elem,
                MyObject object, NativeEvent event) {
            super.onBrowserEvent(context, elem, object, event); 
            if ("click".equals(event.getType())) {
                //call your click event handler here
            }
        }
    };

Note: this works with GWT 2.4, did not try with GWT 2.2.
