Runtime

org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.document
Interface IDocument

All Known Subinterfaces:
IDiagramDocument
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractDocument, DiagramDocument

public interface IDocument

An IDocument represents extensible content providing support A document allows to set its content and to manipulate it. On each document change, all registered document listeners are informed exactly once.

See Also:
IDocumentListener

Field Summary
static long UNKNOWN_MODIFICATION_STAMP
          The unknown modification stamp.
 
Method Summary
 void addDocumentListener ( IDocumentListener listener)
          Registers the document listener with the document.
 void addPrenotifiedDocumentListener ( IDocumentListener documentAdapter)
          Adds the given document listener as one which is notified before those document listeners added with addDocumentListener are notified.
 java.lang.Object getContent ()
          Returns this document's contents.
 long getModificationStamp ()
          Returns the modification stamp of this document.
 void removeDocumentListener ( IDocumentListener listener)
          Removes the listener from the document's list of document listeners.
 void removePrenotifiedDocumentListener ( IDocumentListener documentAdapter)
          Removes the given document listener from the document's list of pre-notified document listeners.
 void resumeListenerNotification ()
          Resumes the notification of document listeners which must previously have been stopped by a call to stopListenerNotification.
 void setContent (java.lang.Object documentContent)
          Replaces the content of the document with the given content.
 void setContent (java.lang.Object content, long modificationStamp)
          Replaces the content of the document with the given text.
 void stopListenerNotification ()
          The affect of these calls is that no document listener is notified until resumeListenerNotification is called.
 

Field Detail

UNKNOWN_MODIFICATION_STAMP

static final long UNKNOWN_MODIFICATION_STAMP
The unknown modification stamp.

See Also:
Constant Field Values
Method Detail

getModificationStamp

long getModificationStamp()
Returns the modification stamp of this document. The modification stamp is updated each time a modifying operation is called on this document. If two modification stamps of the same document are identical then the document content is too, however, same content does not imply same modification stamp.

The magnitude or sign of the numerical difference between two modification stamps is not significant.

Returns:
the modification stamp of this document or UNKNOWN_MODIFICATION_STAMP

addDocumentListener

void addDocumentListener(
IDocumentListener listener)
Registers the document listener with the document. After registration the IDocumentListener is informed about each change of this document. If the listener is already registered nothing happens.

An IDocumentListener may call back to this method when being inside a document notification.

Parameters:
listener - the listener to be registered

removeDocumentListener

void removeDocumentListener(
IDocumentListener listener)
Removes the listener from the document's list of document listeners. If the listener is not registered with the document nothing happens.

An IDocumentListener may call back to this method when being inside a document notification.

Parameters:
listener - the listener to be removed

addPrenotifiedDocumentListener

void addPrenotifiedDocumentListener(
IDocumentListener documentAdapter)
Adds the given document listener as one which is notified before those document listeners added with addDocumentListener are notified. If the given listener is also registered using addDocumentListener it will be notified twice. If the listener is already registered nothing happens.

This method is not for public use.

Parameters:
documentAdapter - the listener to be added as pre-notified document listener
See Also:
removePrenotifiedDocumentListener(IDocumentListener)

removePrenotifiedDocumentListener

void removePrenotifiedDocumentListener(
IDocumentListener documentAdapter)
Removes the given document listener from the document's list of pre-notified document listeners. If the listener is not registered with the document nothing happens.

This method is not for public use.

Parameters:
documentAdapter - the listener to be removed
See Also:
addPrenotifiedDocumentListener(IDocumentListener)

getContent

java.lang.Object getContent()
Returns this document's contents.

Returns:
the document's contents

setContent

void setContent(java.lang.Object documentContent)
Replaces the content of the document with the given content. Sends a DocumentEvent to all registered IDocumentListener.

Parameters:
documentContent - the new content of the document
See Also:
DocumentEvent, IDocumentListener

setContent

void setContent(java.lang.Object content,
                long modificationStamp)
Replaces the content of the document with the given text. Sends a DocumentEvent to all registered IDocumentListener.

Parameters:
content - the new content of the document
modificationStamp - of the document after setting the content
See Also:
DocumentEvent, IDocumentListener

stopListenerNotification

void stopListenerNotification()
The affect of these calls is that no document listener is notified until resumeListenerNotification is called. This allows clients to update structure before any listener is informed about the change.

Listener notification can only be stopped for a single replace operation. Otherwise, document change notifications will be lost.


resumeListenerNotification

void resumeListenerNotification()
Resumes the notification of document listeners which must previously have been stopped by a call to stopListenerNotification.
