Vaadin, how to capture click event in sub-window?

I'm trying to capture the button click event on a button within a subwindow, to be handled by the parent. The parent component (this) implements ClickListener

Window newWindow = new Window("test");
MyComponent myComponent = new MyComponent();
newWindow.setContent(myComponent);
newWindow.setModal(true);
myComponent.saveBtn.addClickListener(this);
UI.getCurrent().addWindow(newWindow);

I get the following error:

The method addClickListener(ClickListener) in the type FocusWidget is not applicable for the arguments (this)

Is there some other method for capturing events in sub windows that I'm missing?

You are likely importing com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Button not com.vaadin.ui.Button. You can't add Vaadin ClickListener to GWT Button or vice versa.

Listening to button click events works in sub-windows just as everywhere else. So your code should otherwise be OK as long as 'this' really is implementing the correct interface.
