Class WorkbenchChainedTextFontFieldEditor

Direct Known Subclasses:
PropagatingFontFieldEditor

@Deprecated public class WorkbenchChainedTextFontFieldEditor extends PropagatingFontFieldEditor
Deprecated.
since 3.0 not longer in use, no longer supported, use a ChainedPreferenceStore to access preferences from the org.eclipse.ui.editors plug-in.
This font field editor implements chaining between the workbench's preference store and a given target preference store. Any time the workbench's preference for the text font changes, the change is propagated to the target store. Propagation means that the actual text font stored in the workbench store is set as default text font in the target store. If the target store does not contain a value rather than the default text font, the new default text font is immediately effective.
Since:
2.0
