Method Detail

getElements


Object[] getElements(
Object inputElement)
Returns the elements to display in the viewer when its input is set to the given element. These elements can be presented as rows in a table, items in a list, etc. The result is not modified by the viewer.

NOTE: For instances where the viewer is displaying a tree containing a single 'root' element it is still necessary that the 'input' does not return itself from this method. This leads to recursion issues (see bug 9262).

Parameters:
inputElement - the input element
Returns:
the array of elements to display in the viewer
