Method Detail

createContent

protected void createContent(Composite parent)

Description copied from class: AbstractInformationControl

Creates the content of the popup window.

Implementors will usually take over Control.getBackground() and Control.getForeground() from parent.

Implementors must either use the dialog font or override AbstractInformationControl.computeSizeConstraints(int, int).

Implementors are expected to consider AbstractInformationControl.isResizable(): If true, they should show scrollbars if their content may exceed the size of the information control. If false, they should never show scrollbars.

The given parent comes with a FillLayout. Subclasses may set a different layout.

Specified by:

createContent in class AbstractInformationControl

Parameters:

parent - the container of the content

setInformation

public void setInformation(String content)

Description copied from class: AbstractInformationControl

Sets the information to be presented by this information control.

The default implementation does nothing. Subclasses must either override this method or implement IInformationControlExtension2.

Specified by:

setInformation in interface IInformationControl

Overrides:

setInformation in class AbstractInformationControl

Parameters:

content - the information to be presented

See Also:

IInformationControl.setInformation(java.lang.String)

setVisible

public void setVisible(boolean visible)

Description copied from interface: IInformationControl

Controls the visibility of this information control.

Note: The information control must not grab focus when made visible.

Specified by:

setVisible in interface IInformationControl

Overrides:

setVisible in class AbstractInformationControl

Parameters:

visible - true if the control should be visible

computeSizeHint

public Point computeSizeHint()

Description copied from interface: IInformationControl

Computes and returns a proposal for the size of this information control depending on the information to present. The method tries to honor known size constraints but might return a size that exceeds them.

Specified by:

computeSizeHint in interface IInformationControl

Overrides:

computeSizeHint in class AbstractInformationControl

Returns:

the computed size hint

computeTrim

public Rectangle computeTrim()

Description copied from class: AbstractInformationControl

Computes the trim (status text and tool bar are considered as trim). Subclasses can extend this method to add additional trim (e.g. scroll bars for resizable information controls).

Specified by:

computeTrim in interface IInformationControlExtension3

Overrides:

computeTrim in class AbstractInformationControl

Returns:

The receiver's trim. x and y denote the upper left corner of the trimming relative to this control's location i.e. this will most likely be negative values. width and height represent the border sizes (the sum of the horizontal and vertical trimmings, respectively).

See Also:

IInformationControlExtension3.computeTrim()

setForegroundColor

public void setForegroundColor(Color foreground)

Description copied from interface: IInformationControl

Sets the foreground color of this information control.

Specified by:

setForegroundColor in interface IInformationControl

Overrides:

setForegroundColor in class AbstractInformationControl

Parameters:

foreground - the foreground color of this information control

setBackgroundColor

public void setBackgroundColor(Color background)

Description copied from interface: IInformationControl

Sets the background color of this information control.

Specified by:

setBackgroundColor in interface IInformationControl

Overrides:

setBackgroundColor in class AbstractInformationControl

Parameters:

background - the background color of this information control

hasContents

public boolean hasContents()

Description copied from interface: IInformationControlExtension

Returns whether this information control has contents to be displayed.

Specified by:

hasContents in interface IInformationControlExtension

Returns:

true if there is contents to be displayed.

widgetDisposed

@Deprecated
public void widgetDisposed(DisposeEvent event)

Deprecated.

As of 3.2, no longer used and called

Description copied from interface: DisposeListener

Sent when the widget is disposed.

Specified by:

widgetDisposed in interface DisposeListener

Parameters:

event - an event containing information about the dispose

Since:

3.0

See Also:

DisposeListener.widgetDisposed(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeEvent)

getInformationPresenterControlCreator

public IInformationControlCreator getInformationPresenterControlCreator()

Description copied from class: AbstractInformationControl

Returns the rich information control creator for this information control.

The returned information control creator is used to create an enriched version of this information control, e.g. when the mouse is moved into this control and it needs to be enriched or when it needs to be made sticky for other reasons.

The returned information control creator must create information controls that implement IInformationControlExtension3 and IInformationControlExtension2, and whose IInformationControlExtension2.setInput(Object) accepts all inputs that are also supported by this information control.

Note that automatic enriching of this information control works only if it also implements IInformationControlExtension3.

This method may be called frequently, so implementors should ensure it returns quickly, e.g. by caching the returned creator.

This default implementation returns null. Subclasses may override.

Specified by:

getInformationPresenterControlCreator in interface IInformationControlExtension5

Overrides:

getInformationPresenterControlCreator in class AbstractInformationControl

Returns:

the information presenter control creator or null to disable enriching
