ContainerCheckedTreeViewer

public class CheckboxTreeViewer
extends TreeViewer
implements ICheckable

A concrete tree-structured viewer based on an SWT Tree control with checkboxes on each node.

This class supports setting an ICheckStateProvider to set the checkbox states. To see standard SWT behavior, view SWT Snippet274.

This class is not intended to be subclassed outside the viewer framework. It is designed to be instantiated with a pre-existing SWT tree control and configured with a domain-specific content provider, label provider, element filter (optional), and element sorter (optional).

Restriction:
This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.

Parameters:
listener - a check state listener

setCheckStateProvider

public void setCheckStateProvider(
ICheckStateProvider checkStateProvider)
Sets the ICheckStateProvider for this CheckboxTreeViewer. The check state provider will supply the logic for deciding whether the check box associated with each item should be checked, grayed or unchecked.

getCheckedElements

public 
Object[] getCheckedElements()
Returns a list of checked elements in this viewer's tree, including currently hidden ones that are marked as checked but are under a collapsed ancestor.

true if the element is grayed, and false if not grayed

getGrayedElements

public 
Object[] getGrayedElements()
Returns a list of grayed elements in this viewer's tree, including currently hidden ones that are marked as grayed but are under a collapsed ancestor.

This method is typically used when preserving the interesting state of a viewer; setGrayedElements is used during the restore.

Returns:
the array of grayed elements
See Also:
setGrayedElements(java.lang.Object[])

handleDoubleSelect

protected void handleDoubleSelect(
SelectionEvent event)
Description copied from class: StructuredViewer
Handles a double-click select event from the widget.

This method is internal to the framework; subclassers should not call this method.

Overrides:
handleDoubleSelect in class AbstractTreeViewer
Parameters:
event - the SWT selection event

handleSelect

protected void handleSelect(
SelectionEvent event)
Description copied from class: StructuredViewer
Handles a select event from the widget.

This method is internal to the framework; subclassers should not call this method.

Overrides:
handleSelect in class StructuredViewer
Parameters:
event - the SWT selection event

preservingSelection

protected void preservingSelection(
Runnable updateCode)
Description copied from class: StructuredViewer
Attempts to preserves the current selection across a run of the given code. This method should not preserve the selection if {link #getPreserveSelection()} returns false.

The default implementation of this method:

  • discovers the old selection (via getSelection)
  • runs the given runnable
  • attempts to restore the old selection (using setSelectionToWidget
  • rediscovers the resulting selection (via getSelection)
  • calls handleInvalidSelection if the resulting selection is different from the old selection

Overrides:
preservingSelection in class StructuredViewer
Parameters:
updateCode - the code to run see #getPreserveSelection()

removeCheckStateListener

public void removeCheckStateListener(
ICheckStateListener listener)
