Eclipse Platform
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.jface.viewers
Class DialogCellEditor


java.lang.Object
  extended by 

org.eclipse.jface.viewers.CellEditor
      extended by 
org.eclipse.jface.viewers.DialogCellEditor
Direct Known Subclasses:
ColorCellEditor

public abstract class DialogCellEditor
extends CellEditor

An abstract cell editor that uses a dialog. Dialog cell editors usually have a label control on the left and a button on the right. Pressing the button opens a dialog window (for example, a color dialog or a file dialog) to change the cell editor's value. The cell editor's value is the value of the dialog.

Subclasses may override the following methods:

  • createButton: creates the cell editor's button control
  • createContents: creates the cell editor's 'display value' control
  • updateContents: updates the cell editor's 'display value' control after its value has changed
  • openDialogBox: opens the dialog box when the end user presses the button

Method Detail

createButton

protected 
Button createButton(
Composite parent)
Creates the button for this cell editor under the given parent control.

The default implementation of this framework method creates the button display on the right hand side of the dialog cell editor. Subclasses may extend or reimplement.

Parameters:
parent - the parent control
Returns:
the new button control

createContents

protected 
Control createContents(
Composite cell)
Creates the controls used to show the value of this cell editor.

The default implementation of this framework method creates a label widget, using the same font and background color as the parent control.

Subclasses may reimplement. If you reimplement this method, you should also reimplement updateContents.

Parameters:
cell - the control for this cell editor
Returns:
the underlying control

createControl

protected 
Control createControl(
Composite parent)
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Creates the control for this cell editor under the given parent control.

This framework method must be implemented by concrete subclasses.

Specified by:
createControl in class CellEditor
Parameters:
parent - the parent control
Returns:
the new control, or null if this cell editor has no control

deactivate

public void deactivate()
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Hides this cell editor's control. Does nothing if this cell editor is not visible.

Overrides:
deactivate in class CellEditor

doGetValue

protected 
Object doGetValue()
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Returns this cell editor's value.

This framework method must be implemented by concrete subclasses.

Specified by:
doGetValue in class CellEditor
Returns:
the value of this cell editor
See Also:
CellEditor.getValue()

doSetFocus

protected void doSetFocus()
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Sets the focus to the cell editor's control.

This framework method must be implemented by concrete subclasses.

Specified by:
doSetFocus in class CellEditor
See Also:
CellEditor.setFocus()

doSetValue

protected void doSetValue(
Object value)
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Sets this cell editor's value.

This framework method must be implemented by concrete subclasses.

Specified by:
doSetValue in class CellEditor
Parameters:
value - the value of this cell editor
See Also:
CellEditor.setValue(java.lang.Object)

getDefaultLabel

protected 
Label getDefaultLabel()
Returns the default label widget created by createContents.

openDialogBox

protected abstract 
Object openDialogBox(
Control cellEditorWindow)
Opens a dialog box under the given parent control and returns the dialog's value when it closes, or null if the dialog was canceled or no selection was made in the dialog.

This framework method must be implemented by concrete subclasses. It is called when the user has pressed the button and the dialog box must pop up.

Parameters:
cellEditorWindow - the parent control cell editor's window so that a subclass can adjust the dialog box accordingly
Returns:
the selected value, or null if the dialog was canceled or no selection was made in the dialog

updateContents

protected void updateContents(
Object value)
Updates the controls showing the value of this cell editor.

The default implementation of this framework method just converts the passed object to a string using toString and sets this as the text of the label widget.
