public final class SashFactory
extends AbstractControlFactory<SashFactory,Sash>

This class provides a convenient shorthand for creating and initializing Sash. This offers several benefits over creating Sash normal way:

• The same factory can be used many times to create several Sash instances
• The setters on SashFactory all return "this", allowing them to be chained
• SashFactory accepts a Lambda for SelectionEvent (see onSelect(java.util.function.Consumer<org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionEvent>))

Example usage:

 Sash sash = SashFactory.newSash(SWT.HORIZONTAL) //
                .onSelect(event -> sashSelected(event)) //
                .layoutData(gridData) //
                .create(parent);
 

The above example creates a horizontal sash, registers a SelectionListener and finally creates the sash in "parent".

 GridDataFactory gridDataFactory = GridDataFactory.swtDefaults();
 SashFactory sashFactory = SashFactory.newSash(SWT.HORIZONTAL).onSelect(event -> sashSelected(event))
                .layout(gridDataFactory::create);
 sashFactory.data("Sash 1").create(parent);
 sashFactory.data("Sash 2").create(parent);
 sashFactory.data("Sash 3").create(parent);
 

The above example creates three sashs using the same instance of SashFactory. Note the layout method. A Supplier is used to create unique GridData for every single sash.

Method Details

newSash

public static SashFactory newSash(int style)

Creates a new SashFactory with the given style. Refer to Sash(Composite, int) for possible styles.

Returns:

a new SashFactory instance

onSelect

public SashFactory onSelect(Consumer<SelectionEvent> consumer)

Creates a SelectionListener and registers it for the widgetSelected event. If the receiver is selected by the user the given consumer is invoked. The SelectionEvent is passed to the consumer.

Parameters:

consumer - the consumer whose accept method is called

Returns:

this
