Creating a fluid panel in GWT to fill the page?

Question

I would like a panel in GWT to fill the page without actually having to set the size. Is there a way to do this? Currently I have the following:

public class M

Google has answered the main part of your question in one of their FAQs: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/1.6/FAQ_UI.html#How_do_I_create_an_app_that_fills_the_page_vertically_when_the_b

The primary point is that you can't set height to 100%, you must do something like this:

final VerticalPanel vp = new VerticalPanel();
vp.add(mainPanel);
vp.setWidth("100%");
vp.setHeight(Window.getClientHeight() + "px");
Window.addResizeHandler(new ResizeHandler() {

  public void onResize(ResizeEvent event) {
    int height = event.getHeight();
    vp.setHeight(height + "px");
  }
});
RootPanel.get().add(vp);
