Interface IWorkbenchPropertyPage

All Superinterfaces:
IDialogPage, IPreferencePage
All Known Implementing Classes:
PropertyPage, WizardPropertyPage
public interface IWorkbenchPropertyPage extends IPreferencePage
Interface for workbench property pages. Property pages generally show up in the workbench's Property Pages dialog.

Clients should implement this interface and include the name of their class in an extension contributed to the workbench's property page extension point (named "org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages"). For example, the plug-in's XML markup might contain: 

 <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages">
      <page id="com.example.myplugin.props"
         name="Knobs"
         objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource"
         class="com.example.myplugin.MyPropertyPage" />
 </extension>

Property pages that support multiple selected objects should implement IWorkbenchPropertyPageMulti instead.

    • getElement

      IAdaptable getElement()
      Returns the object that owns the properties shown in this page.
      Returns:
      the object that owns the properties shown in this page

    • setElement

      void setElement(IAdaptable element)
      Sets the object that owns the properties shown in this page. The page is expected to store this object and provide it if getElement is called.

      As of Eclipse 3.2 the org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages extension point now supports non IAdaptable inputs. An input that is not an IAdaptable will be wrapped in an IAdaptable by the workbench before it is forwarded to this method.

      Parameters:
      element - the object that owns the properties shown in this page
