Eclipse Platform
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.team.ui.synchronize
Class SynchronizePageActionGroup


java.lang.Object
  extended by 

org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionGroup
      extended by 
org.eclipse.team.ui.synchronize.SynchronizePageActionGroup
Direct Known Subclasses:
ModelSynchronizeParticipantActionGroup

public abstract class SynchronizePageActionGroup
extends ActionGroup

Used to add one or more actions to the context menu, toolbar or view menu of an ISynchronizePage. An action group is added to a synchronize page by adding the group to the ISynchronizePageConfiguration after configuration has been created by the page but before the page is created.

The life cycle of an action group is:

  • the initialize(ISynchronizePageConfiguration} method is invoked before the methods to populate menus. This is done to give clients a change to create and initialize the actions of the action group.
  • The fillActionBars(IActionBars) method is invoked to populate the page's action bars (view menu and toolbar). It is possible for the action bars to be missing one or more components so clients are expected to check for null when accessing the menus from the action bars.
  • The fillContextMenu(IMenuManager) method is invoked each time the context menu is shown. Before this method is called, the action group will be provided with an ActionContext containing the view selection. Clients can access the context using getContext().
  • The updateActionBars() method is invoked whenever the page's selection changes. Before this method is called, the action group will be provided with an ActionContext containing the view selection. Clients can access the context using getContext().
  • The modelChanged(ISynchronizeModelElement) method is invoked whenever the model being displayed is changed. This gives clients a chance to adjust the input to actions that operate on all visible elements.
  • The dispose() method is called when the page is disposed.

Since:
3.0

Constructor Detail

SynchronizePageActionGroup

public SynchronizePageActionGroup()
Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(
ISynchronizePageConfiguration configuration)
Initialize the actions of this contribution. This method will be invoked once before any calls are made to filleContextMenu or setActionBars but after the control for the page has been created. As a result of this, the site of the configuration can be accessed. Subclasses may override this method but must invoke the overridden method.

Parameters:
configuration - the configuration for the part to which the contribution is associated

modelChanged

public void modelChanged(
ISynchronizeModelElement root)
This method is invoked whenever the model being displayed in the view changes. This includes when the input to the view changes and when the children of the input change. The default implementation of this method does nothing. Subclasses may override.

Parameters:
root - the root of the model being viewed

dispose

public void dispose()
Dispose of the action group. Subclasses may override but must invoke the overridden method.

Overrides:
dispose in class ActionGroup

findGroup

protected 
IContributionItem findGroup(
IContributionManager menu,
                                      
String groupId)
Helper method to find the group of the given id for the page associated with the configuration of this action group. The id of the returned group will not match that of the provided id since the group must be modified to ensure that groups are unique across pages.

Parameters:
menu - the menu
groupId - the id of the group being searched for
Returns:
the group for the given id or null

appendToGroup

protected boolean appendToGroup(
IContributionManager manager,
                                
String groupId,
                                
IAction action)
Helper method to add an action to a group in a menu. The action is only added to the menu if the group exists in the menu. Calling this method also has no effect if either the menu or action are null.

Parameters:

groupId - the group to append the action to
action - the action to add
Returns:
true if the group exists and the action was added and false if the action was not added
