Interface IFrameSource

All Known Implementing Classes:
NavigatorFrameSource, TreeViewerFrameSource
public interface IFrameSource
A frame source is the source of frames which appear in a frame list. The frame list asks for the current frame whenever it switches to another frame, so that the context can be restored when the frame becomes current again.

    • getFrame

      Frame getFrame(int whichFrame, int flags)
      Returns a new frame describing the state of the source. If the FULL_CONTEXT flag is specified, then the full context of the source should be captured by the frame. Otherwise, only the visible aspects of the frame, such as the name and tool tip text, will be used.
      Parameters:
      whichFrame - one of the frame constants defined in this interface
      flags - a bit-wise OR of the flag constants defined in this interface
      Returns:
      a new frame describing the current state of the source
