-
public class ActionBarAdvisor
- extends
Object
Public base class for configuring the action bars of a workbench window.
An application should declare a subclass of ActionBarAdvisor
and override methods to configure a window's action bars to suit the needs of the
particular application.
The following advisor methods are called at strategic points in the
workbench's lifecycle (all occur within the dynamic scope of the call
to
PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench
):
-
fillActionBars
- called after WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.preWindowOpen
to configure a window's action bars
-
Since:
- 3.1
-

Bit flag for
fillActionBars indicating that the
operation is supposed to fill (or describe) the workbench window's cool
bar. |

Bit flag for
fillActionBars indicating that the
operation is supposed to fill (or describe) the workbench window's menu
bar. |

ActionBarAdvisor
public ActionBarAdvisor(
IActionBarConfigurer configurer)
- Creates a new action bar advisor to configure a workbench
window's action bars via the given action bar configurer.
-
Parameters:
-
configurer
- the action bar configurer
getActionBarConfigurer
protected
IActionBarConfigurer getActionBarConfigurer()
- Returns the action bar configurer.
-
-
Returns:
- the action bar configurer
fillActionBars
public void fillActionBars(int flags)
- Configures the action bars using the given action bar configurer.
Under normal circumstances,
flags
does not include
FILL_PROXY
, meaning this is a request to fill the action
bars of the corresponding workbench window; the
remaining flags indicate which combination of
the menu bar (FILL_MENU_BAR
),
the tool bar (FILL_COOL_BAR
),
and the status line (FILL_STATUS_LINE
) are to be filled.
If flags
does include FILL_PROXY
, then this
is a request to describe the actions bars of the given workbench window
(which will already have been filled);
again, the remaining flags indicate which combination of the menu bar,
the tool bar, and the status line are to be described.
The actions included in the proxy action bars can be the same instances
as in the actual window's action bars. Calling ActionFactory
to create new action instances is not recommended, because these
actions internally register listeners with the window and there is no
opportunity to dispose of these actions.
This method is called just after
WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.preWindowOpen()
.
Clients must not call this method directly (although super calls are okay).
The default implementation calls makeActions
if
FILL_PROXY
is specified, then calls fillMenuBar
,
fillCoolBar
, and fillStatusLine
if the corresponding flags are specified.
Subclasses may override, but it is recommended that they override the
methods mentioned above instead.
-
-
Parameters:
-
flags
- bit mask composed from the constants
FILL_MENU_BAR
,
FILL_COOL_BAR
,
FILL_STATUS_LINE
,
and
FILL_PROXY
makeActions
protected void makeActions(
IWorkbenchWindow window)
- Instantiates the actions used in the fill methods.
Use
register(IAction)
to register the action with the key binding service
and add it to the list of actions to be disposed when the window is closed.
-
-
Parameters:
-
window
- the window containing the action bars
register
protected void register(
IAction action)
- Registers the given action with the key binding service
(by calling
IActionBarConfigurer.registerGlobalAction(IAction)
),
and adds it to the list of actions to be disposed when the window is closed.
In order to participate in key bindings, the action must have an action
definition id (aka command id), and a corresponding command extension.
See the org.eclipse.ui.commands
extension point documentation
for more details.
-
-
Parameters:
-
action
- the action to register, this cannot be null
-
See Also:
-
IAction.setActionDefinitionId(String)
,
disposeAction(IAction)
getAction
protected
IAction getAction(
String id)
- Returns the action with the given id, or
null
if not found.
-
-
Parameters:
-
id
- the action id
-
Returns:
- the action with the given id, or
null
if not found -

- Fills the menu bar with the main menus for the window.
The default implementation does nothing.
Subclasses may override.
-
-
Parameters:
-
menuBar
- the menu manager for the menu bar
fillCoolBar
protected void fillCoolBar(
ICoolBarManager coolBar)
- Fills the cool bar with the main toolbars for the window.

- the cool bar manager
fillStatusLine
protected void fillStatusLine(
IStatusLineManager statusLine)
- Fills the status line with the main status line contributions
for the window.
The default implementation does nothing.
Subclasses may override.
-
-
Parameters:
-
statusLine
- the status line manager
isApplicationMenu
public boolean isApplicationMenu(
String menuId)
- Returns whether the menu with the given id is an application menu of the
given window. This is used during OLE "in place" editing. Application
menus should be preserved during menu merging. All other menus may be
removed from the window.

-
-
Parameters:
-
menuId
- the menu id
-
Returns:
-
true
for application menus, and false
for part-specific menus
dispose
public void dispose()
- Disposes this action bar advisor.
Called when the window is being closed.
This should dispose any allocated resources and remove any added listeners.
The default implementation calls disposeActions()
.
Subclasses may extend.
-
disposeActions
protected void disposeActions()
- Disposes all actions added via
register(IAction)
using disposeAction(IAction)
.
-
disposeAction
protected void disposeAction(
IAction action)
- Disposes the given action.
The default implementation checks whether the action is an instance
of ActionFactory.IWorkbenchAction
and calls its
dispose()
method if so.
Subclasses may extend.
-
-
Parameters:

action
- the action to dispose
saveState
public
IStatus saveState(

-
memento
- the memento in which to save the advisor's state
-
