org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display

All Implemented Interfaces:: Executor, Drawable

public class Display extends Device implements Executor

Instances of this class are responsible for managing the connection between SWT and the underlying operating system. Their most important function is to implement the SWT event loop in terms of the platform event model. They also provide various methods for accessing information about the operating system, and have overall control over the operating system resources which SWT allocates.

Applications which are built with SWT will almost always require only a single display. In particular, some platforms which SWT supports will not allow more than one active display. In other words, some platforms do not support creating a new display if one already exists that has not been sent the dispose() message.

In SWT, the thread which creates a Display instance is distinguished as the user-interface thread for that display.

The user-interface thread for a particular display has the following special attributes:

The event loop for that display must be run from the thread.
Some SWT API methods (notably, most of the public methods in Widget and its subclasses), may only be called from the thread. (To support multi-threaded user-interface applications, class Display provides inter-thread communication methods which allow threads other than the user-interface thread to request that it perform operations on their behalf.)
The thread is not allowed to construct other Displays until that display has been disposed. (Note that, this is in addition to the restriction mentioned above concerning platform support for multiple displays. Thus, the only way to have multiple simultaneously active displays, even on platforms which support it, is to have multiple threads.)

Enforcing these attributes allows SWT to be implemented directly on the underlying operating system's event model. This has numerous benefits including smaller footprint, better use of resources, safer memory management, clearer program logic, better performance, and fewer overall operating system threads required. The down side however, is that care must be taken (only) when constructing multi-threaded applications to use the inter-thread communication mechanisms which this class provides when required.

All SWT API methods which may only be called from the user-interface thread are distinguished in their documentation by indicating that they throw the "ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS" SWT exception.

Styles:: (none)
Events:: Close, Dispose, OpenDocument, Settings, Skin

Constructor Details
- Display
  
  public Display()
  
  Constructs a new instance of this class.
  Note: The resulting display is marked as the current display. If this is the first display which has been constructed since the application started, it is also marked as the default display.
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if called from a thread that already created an existing display

- Display
  
  public Display(DeviceData data)
  
  Constructs a new instance of this class using the parameter.
  
  Parameters:
  
  data - the device data
Method Details
- addFilter
  
  public void addFilter(int eventType, Listener listener)
  
  Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when an event of the given type occurs anywhere in a widget. The event type is one of the event constants defined in class SWT. When the event does occur, the listener is notified by sending it the handleEvent() message.
  Setting the type of an event to SWT.None from within the handleEvent() method can be used to change the event type and stop subsequent Java listeners from running. Because event filters run before other listeners, event filters can both block other listeners and set arbitrary fields within an event. For this reason, event filters are both powerful and dangerous. They should generally be avoided for performance, debugging and code maintenance reasons.
  Parameters:
  
  eventType - the type of event to listen for
  
  listener - the listener which should be notified when the event occurs
  
  Throws:
  
  IllegalArgumentException -
  
  ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

  public void addListener(int eventType, Listener listener)
  
  Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when an event of the given type occurs. The event type is one of the event constants defined in class SWT. When the event does occur in the display, the listener is notified by sending it the handleEvent() message.
  Parameters:
  
  eventType - the type of event to listen for
  
  listener - the listener which should be notified when the event occurs
  
  Throws:
  
  IllegalArgumentException -
  
  ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null

- asyncExec
  
  public void asyncExec(Runnable runnable)
  
  Causes the run() method of the runnable to be invoked by the user-interface thread at the next reasonable opportunity. The caller of this method continues to run in parallel, and is not notified when the runnable has completed. Specifying null as the runnable simply wakes the user-interface thread when run.
  Note that at the time the runnable is invoked, widgets that have the receiver as their display may have been disposed. Therefore, it is necessary to check for this case inside the runnable before accessing the widget.
  Parameters:
  
  runnable - code to run on the user-interface thread or null
  
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  See Also:
  
  syncExec(java.lang.Runnable)
- execute
  
  public void execute(Runnable runnable)
  Executes the given runnable in the user-interface thread of this Display.
  
  If the calling thread is the user-interface thread of this display it is executed immediately and the method returns after the command has run, as with the method syncExec(Runnable).
  
  In all other cases the run() method of the runnable is asynchronously executed as with the method asyncExec(Runnable) at the next reasonable opportunity. The caller of this method continues to run in parallel, and is not notified when the runnable has completed.
  
  This can be used in cases where one want to execute some piece of code that should be guaranteed to run in the user-interface thread regardless of the current thread.
  
  Note that at the time the runnable is invoked, widgets that have the receiver as their display may have been disposed. Therefore, it is advised to check for this case inside the runnable before accessing the widget.
  Specified by:
  
  execute in interface Executor
  
  Parameters:
  
  runnable - the runnable to execute in the user-interface thread, never null
  
  Throws:
  
  RejectedExecutionException - if this task cannot be accepted for execution
  
  NullPointerException - if runnable is null
- beep
  
  public void beep()
  
  Causes the system hardware to emit a short sound (if it supports this capability).
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- checkSubclass
  
  protected void checkSubclass()
  
  Checks that this class can be subclassed.
  IMPORTANT: See the comment in Widget.checkSubclass().
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass
  
  See Also:
  
  Widget.checkSubclass()
- checkDevice
  
  protected void checkDevice()
  
  Description copied from class: Device
  
  Throws an SWTException if the receiver can not be accessed by the caller. This may include both checks on the state of the receiver and more generally on the entire execution context. This method should be called by device implementors to enforce the standard SWT invariants.
  Currently, it is an error to invoke any method (other than isDisposed() and dispose()) on a device that has had its dispose() method called.
  In future releases of SWT, there may be more or fewer error checks and exceptions may be thrown for different reasons.
  
  Overrides:
  
  checkDevice in class Device
- close
  
  public void close()
  
  Requests that the connection between SWT and the underlying operating system be closed.
  Throws:

- map
  
  public Point map(Control from, Control to, Point point)
  
  Maps a point from one coordinate system to another. When the control is null, coordinates are mapped to the display.
  NOTE: On right-to-left platforms where the coordinate systems are mirrored, special care needs to be taken when mapping coordinates from one control to another to ensure the result is correctly mirrored. Mapping a point that is the origin of a rectangle and then adding the width and height is not equivalent to mapping the rectangle. When one control is mirrored and the other is not, adding the width and height to a point that was mapped causes the rectangle to extend in the wrong direction. Mapping the entire rectangle instead of just one point causes both the origin and the corner of the rectangle to be mapped.
  Parameters:
  
  from - the source Control or null
  
  to - the destination Control or null
  
  point - to be mapped
  
  Returns:
  
  point with mapped coordinates
  
  Throws:

- post
  
  public boolean post(Event event)
  Generate a low level system event. post is used to generate low level keyboard and mouse events. The intent is to enable automated UI testing by simulating the input from the user. Most SWT applications should never need to call this method.
  Note that this operation can fail when the operating system fails to generate the event for any reason. For example, this can happen when there is no such key or mouse button or when the system event queue is full.
  
  Event Types:
  KeyDown, KeyUp
  The following fields in the Event apply:
  
  (in) type KeyDown or KeyUp
  
  Either one of:
  
  (in) character a character that corresponds to a keyboard key
  
  (in) keyCode the key code of the key that was typed, as defined by the key code constants in class SWT
  
  Optional (on some platforms):
  
  (in) stateMask the state of the keyboard modifier, as defined by the key code constants in class SWT
  
  MouseDown, MouseUp
  
  The following fields in the Event apply:
  
  (in) type MouseDown or MouseUp
  (in) button the button that is pressed or released
  
  MouseMove
  
  The following fields in the Event apply:
  
  (in) type MouseMove
  
  (in) x the x coordinate to move the mouse pointer to in screen coordinates
  
  (in) y the y coordinate to move the mouse pointer to in screen coordinates
  
  MouseWheel
  
  The following fields in the Event apply:
  
  (in) type MouseWheel
  
  (in) detail either SWT.SCROLL_LINE or SWT.SCROLL_PAGE
  
  (in) count the number of lines or pages to scroll
  Parameters:
  
  event - the event to be generated
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the event was generated or false otherwise
  
  Throws:

- readAndDispatch
  
  public boolean readAndDispatch()
  
  Reads an event from the operating system's event queue, dispatches it appropriately, and returns true if there is potentially more work to do, or false if the caller can sleep until another event is placed on the event queue.
  In addition to checking the system event queue, this method also checks if any inter-thread messages (created by syncExec() or asyncExec()) are waiting to be processed, and if so handles them before returning.
  Returns:
  
  false if the caller can sleep upon return from this method
  
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  ERROR_FAILED_EXEC - if an exception occurred while running an inter-thread message

- release
  
  protected void release()
  
  Releases any internal resources back to the operating system and clears all fields except the device handle.
  Disposes all shells which are currently open on the display. After this method has been invoked, all related related shells will answer true when sent the message isDisposed().
  When a device is destroyed, resources that were acquired on behalf of the programmer need to be returned to the operating system. For example, if the device allocated a font to be used as the system font, this font would be freed in release. Also,to assist the garbage collector and minimize the amount of memory that is not reclaimed when the programmer keeps a reference to a disposed device, all fields except the handle are zero'd. The handle is needed by destroy.
  This method is called before destroy.

  setAppVersion(String)
- setAppName
  
  public static void setAppName(String name)
  
  Sets the application name to the argument.
  The application name can be used in several ways, depending on the platform and tools being used. Accessibility tools could ask for the application name. On Windows, if the application name is set to any value other than "SWT" (case insensitive), it is used to set the application user model ID which is used by the OS for taskbar grouping.
  
  Specifying null for the name clears it.
  Parameters:
  
  name - the new app name or null
  
  See Also:
  
  AppUserModelID (Windows)
- setAppVersion
  
  public static void setAppVersion(String version)
  
  Sets the application version to the argument.
  
  Parameters:
  
  version - the new app version

- setSynchronizer
  
  public void setSynchronizer(Synchronizer synchronizer)
  
  Sets the synchronizer used by the display to be the argument, which can not be null.
  Parameters:
  
  synchronizer - the new synchronizer for the display (must not be null)
  
  Throws:
  
  IllegalArgumentException -
  
  ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the synchronizer is null
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  ERROR_FAILED_EXEC - if an exception occurred while running an inter-thread message
- setRuntimeExceptionHandler
  
  public final void setRuntimeExceptionHandler(Consumer<RuntimeException> runtimeExceptionHandler)
  
  Sets a callback that will be invoked whenever an exception is thrown by a listener or external callback function. The application may use this to set a global exception handling policy: the most common policies are either to log and discard the exception or to re-throw the exception.
  The default SWT error handling policy is to rethrow exceptions.
  
  Parameters:
  
  runtimeExceptionHandler - new exception handler to be registered.
  
  Since:
  
  3.106
- getRuntimeExceptionHandler
  
  public final Consumer<RuntimeException> getRuntimeExceptionHandler()
  
  Returns the current exception handler. It will receive all exceptions thrown by listeners and external callbacks in this display. If code wishes to temporarily replace the exception handler (for example, during a unit test), it is common practice to invoke this method prior to replacing the exception handler so that the old handler may be restored afterward.
  
  Returns:
  
  the current exception handler. Never null.
  
  Since:
  
  3.106
- setErrorHandler
  
  public final void setErrorHandler(Consumer<Error> errorHandler)
  
  Sets a callback that will be invoked whenever an error is thrown by a listener or external callback function. The application may use this to set a global exception handling policy: the most common policies are either to log and discard the exception or to re-throw the exception.
  The default SWT error handling policy is to rethrow exceptions.
  
  Parameters:
  
  errorHandler - new error handler to be registered.
  
  Since:
  
  3.106
- getErrorHandler
  
  public final Consumer<Error> getErrorHandler()
  
  Returns the current exception handler. It will receive all errors thrown by listeners and external callbacks in this display. If code wishes to temporarily replace the error handler (for example, during a unit test), it is common practice to invoke this method prior to replacing the error handler so that the old handler may be restored afterward.
  
  Returns:
  
  the current error handler. Never null.
  
  Since:

- sleep
  
  public boolean sleep()
  
  Causes the user-interface thread to sleep (that is, to be put in a state where it does not consume CPU cycles) until an event is received or it is otherwise awakened.
  Returns:
  
  true if an event requiring dispatching was placed on the queue.
  
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  See Also:
  
  wake()
- syncExec
  
  public void syncExec(Runnable runnable)
  
  Causes the run() method of the runnable to be invoked by the user-interface thread at the next reasonable opportunity. The thread which calls this method is suspended until the runnable completes. Specifying null as the runnable simply wakes the user-interface thread.
  Note that at the time the runnable is invoked, widgets that have the receiver as their display may have been disposed. Therefore, it is necessary to check for this case inside the runnable before accessing the widget.
  Parameters:
  
  runnable - code to run on the user-interface thread or null
  
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_FAILED_EXEC - if an exception occurred when executing the runnable
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  See Also:
  
  asyncExec(java.lang.Runnable)
- syncCall
  
  public <T, E extends Exception> T syncCall(SwtCallable<T,E> callable) throws E
  
  Calls the callable on the user-interface thread at the next reasonable opportunity, and returns the its result from this method. The thread which calls this method is suspended until the callable completes.
  Note that at the time the callable is invoked, widgets that have the receiver as their display may have been disposed. Therefore, it is necessary to check for this case inside the callable before accessing the widget.
  
  Any exception that is thrown from the callable is re-thrown in the calling thread. Note: The exception retains its original stack trace from the throwing thread. The call to syncCall will not be present in the stack trace.
  Parameters:
  
  callable - the code to call on the user-interface thread
  
  Throws:
  
  SWTException - ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  E - An exception that is thrown by the callable on the user-interface thread, and re-thrown on the calling thread

- timerExec
  
  public void timerExec(int milliseconds, Runnable runnable)
  
  Causes the run() method of the runnable to be invoked by the user-interface thread after the specified number of milliseconds have elapsed. If milliseconds is less than zero, the runnable is not executed.
  Note that at the time the runnable is invoked, widgets that have the receiver as their display may have been disposed. Therefore, it is necessary to check for this case inside the runnable before accessing the widget.
  Parameters:
  
  milliseconds - the delay before running the runnable
  
  runnable - code to run on the user-interface thread
  
  Throws:
  
  IllegalArgumentException -
  
  ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the runnable is null
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  See Also:
  
  asyncExec(java.lang.Runnable)
- update
  
  public void update()
  
  Forces all outstanding paint requests for the display to be processed before this method returns.
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  See Also:
  
  Control.update()
- wake
  
  public void wake()
  
  If the receiver's user-interface thread was sleeping, causes it to be awakened and start running again. Note that this method may be called from any thread.
  Throws:
  
  SWTException -
  
  ERROR_DEVICE_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

  sleep()
- isRescalingAtRuntime
  
  public boolean isRescalingAtRuntime()
  
  Returns whether rescaling of shells at runtime when the DPI scaling of a shell's monitor changes is activated for this device.
  Note: This functionality is only available on Windows. Calling this method on other operating system will always return false.
  
  Returns:
  
  whether rescaling of shells at runtime when the DPI scaling of a shell's monitor changes is activated for this device
  
  Since:
  
  3.127
- setRescalingAtRuntime
  
  public boolean setRescalingAtRuntime(boolean activate)
  
  Activates or deactivates rescaling of shells at runtime whenever the DPI scaling of the shell's monitor changes. This is only safe to call as long as no shell has been created for this display. When changing the value after a shell has been created for this display, the effect is undefined.
  Note: This functionality is only available on Windows. Calling this method on other operating system will have no effect.
  
  Parameters:
  
  activate - whether rescaling shall be activated or deactivated
  
  Returns:
  
  whether activating or deactivating the rescaling was successful
  
  Since:
