Method Detail

addPaletteListener

public void addPaletteListener(
PaletteListener paletteListener)
Adds the given PaletteListener as the one to be notified when the active tool on the palette changes.

Parameters:
paletteListener - The listener that needs to be notified of active tool changes on the palette

createDefaultRoot

protected void createDefaultRoot()
Description copied from class: GraphicalViewerImpl
Creates the default root editpart. Called during construction.

Overrides:
createDefaultRoot in class GraphicalViewerImpl
See Also:
GraphicalViewerImpl.createDefaultRoot()

enableVerticalScrollbar

public void enableVerticalScrollbar(boolean value)
Indicates that the palette should scroll using a native vertical scrollbar as opposed to individual lightweight buttons that appear dynamically on each drawer. The default settings is false. Enabling this setting requires additional horizontal screen space for the scrollbar. Therefore, its use is discouraged.

Parameters:
value - true if a vertical scrollbar should be displayed

fireModeChanged

protected void fireModeChanged()
Notifies registered listeners of change in the active tool on the palette


getCustomizer

public 
PaletteCustomizer getCustomizer()
Returns:
the customizer

getCustomizerDialog

public 
PaletteCustomizerDialog getCustomizerDialog()
NOTE: A PaletteCustomizer must be set for this viewer using the setCustomizer(PaletteCustomizer) method before this method is invoked.

Returns:
The dialog that can be used to customize entries on the palette

getActiveTool

public 
ToolEntry getActiveTool()
Returns:
the entry for the currently active tool

getPaletteRoot

public 
PaletteRoot getPaletteRoot()
Returns the palette's root model.

Returns:
the palette root

getPaletteViewerPreferences

public 
PaletteViewerPreferences getPaletteViewerPreferences()
Returns:
The PaletteViewerPreferences that this palette is using to store its preferences (if none has been set, it returns the default one, which uses the GEF preference store)

handleDispose

protected void handleDispose(DisposeEvent e)
Description copied from class: AbstractEditPartViewer
Called if and when the Control is disposed. Subclasses may extend this method to perform additional cleanup.

Overrides:
handleDispose in class GraphicalViewerImpl
See Also:
org.eclipse.gef.ui.parts.GraphicalViewerImpl#handleDispose( org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeEvent)

handleFocusGained

protected void handleFocusGained(FocusEvent fe)
Description copied from class: GraphicalViewerImpl
This method is invoked when this viewer's control gains focus. It gives focus to the focusPart, if there is one.

Overrides:
handleFocusGained in class GraphicalViewerImpl
Parameters:
fe - the focusEvent received by this viewer's control
See Also:
GraphicalViewerImpl.handleFocusGained(FocusEvent)

hookControl

protected void hookControl()
Description copied from class: GraphicalViewerImpl
Extended to tell the lightweight system what its control is.

Overrides:
hookControl in class GraphicalViewerImpl
See Also:
GraphicalViewerImpl.hookControl()

isExpanded

public boolean isExpanded(
PaletteDrawer drawer)
Returns true if the given PaletteDrawer is expanded

Parameters:
drawer - the PaletteDrawer
Returns:
true if expanded

isPinned

public boolean isPinned(
PaletteDrawer drawer)
Returns true if the given PaletteDrawer is pinned

Parameters:
drawer - the PaletteDrawer
Returns:
true if pinned

removePaletteListener

public void removePaletteListener(
PaletteListener paletteListener)
The given PaletteListener will not be notified of active tool changes in the palette.

Parameters:
paletteListener - the PaletteListener which doesn't want to be notified of active tool changes in the palette anymore

restoreState

public boolean restoreState(
IMemento memento)
Tries to apply the state of the given IMemento to the contents of this viewer. It fails silently, i.e. no exceptions are thrown if the given state could not be applied.

Parameters:
memento - The memento that has the state to be applied to the contents of this viewer
Returns:
a boolean indicating whether or not the given memento was successfully applied
Since:
3.0

reveal

public void reveal(
EditPart part)
Description copied from class: ScrollingGraphicalViewer
Extends the superclass implementation to scroll the native Canvas control after the super's implementation has completed.

Specified by:
reveal in interface EditPartViewer
Overrides:
reveal in class ScrollingGraphicalViewer
See Also:
ScrollingGraphicalViewer.reveal(EditPart)

saveState

public void saveState(
IMemento memento)
Captures the state of the contents of this viewer in the given memento

Parameters:
memento - the IMemento in which the state is to be saved

Sets the customizer.

Parameters:
customizer - the customizer to be set

setActiveTool
