Adds viewer filter to the dialog items list.

Parameters:
filter - the new filter

setListLabelProvider

public void setListLabelProvider(
ILabelProvider listLabelProvider)
Sets a new label provider for items in the list. If the label provider also implements .IStyledLabelProvider, the style text labels provided by it will be used provided that the corresponding preference is set.

Parameters:
listLabelProvider - the label provider for items in the list
See Also:
IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.USE_COLORED_LABELS

setListSelectionLabelDecorator

public void setListSelectionLabelDecorator(
ILabelDecorator listSelectionLabelDecorator)
Sets the label decorator for selected items in the list.

Parameters:
listSelectionLabelDecorator - the label decorator for selected items in the list

setDetailsLabelProvider

public void setDetailsLabelProvider(
ILabelProvider detailsLabelProvider)
Sets label provider for the details field. For a single selection, the element sent to ILabelProvider.getImage(Object) and ILabelProvider.getText(Object) is the selected object, for multiple selection a String with amount of selected items is the element.

Parameters:
detailsLabelProvider - the label provider for the details field
See Also:
getSelectedItems() can be used to retrieve selected items and get the items count.

create

public void create()
Description copied from class: Window
Creates this window's widgetry in a new top-level shell.

The default implementation of this framework method creates this window's shell (by calling createShell), and its controls (by calling createContents), then initializes this window's shell bounds (by calling initializeBounds).

Overrides:
create in class SelectionStatusDialog

restoreDialog

protected void restoreDialog(
IDialogSettings settings)
Restores dialog using persisted settings. The default implementation restores the status of the details line and the selection history.

Parameters:
settings - settings used to restore dialog

close

public boolean close()
Description copied from class: Window
Closes this window, disposes its shell, and removes this window from its window manager (if it has one).

This framework method may be extended (super.close must be called).

Note that in order to prevent recursive calls to this method it does not call Shell#close(). As a result ShellListeners will not receive a shellClosed event.

Overrides:
close in class TrayDialog
Returns:
true if the window is (or was already) closed, and false if it is still open
See Also:
Window.close()

storeDialog

protected void storeDialog(
IDialogSettings settings)
Stores dialog settings.

Parameters:
settings - settings used to store dialog

fillViewMenu

protected void fillViewMenu(
IMenuManager menuManager)
Fills the menu of the dialog.

Parameters:
menuManager - the menu manager

fillContextMenu

protected void fillContextMenu(
IMenuManager menuManager)
Hook that allows to add actions to the context menu.

Subclasses may extend in order to add other actions.

Parameters:
menuManager - the context menu manager
Since:
3.5

createExtendedContentArea

protected abstract 
Control createExtendedContentArea(
Composite parent)
Creates an extra content area, which will be located above the details.

Parameters:
parent - parent to create the dialog widgets in
Returns:
an extra content area

createDialogArea

protected 
Control createDialogArea(
Composite parent)
Description copied from class: Dialog
Creates and returns the contents of the upper part of this dialog (above the button bar).

The Dialog implementation of this framework method creates and returns a new Composite with standard margins and spacing.

The returned control's layout data must be an instance of GridData. This method must not modify the parent's layout.

Subclasses must override this method but may call super as in the following example:

 Composite composite = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
 //add controls to composite as necessary
 return composite;
 

Overrides:
createDialogArea in class Dialog
Parameters:
parent - the parent composite to contain the dialog area
Returns:
the dialog area control

handleDoubleClick

protected void handleDoubleClick()
This method is a hook for subclasses to override default dialog behavior. The handleDoubleClick() method handles double clicks on the list of filtered elements.

Current implementation makes double-clicking on the list do the same as pressing OK button on the dialog.


handleSelected

protected void handleSelected(
StructuredSelection selection)
Handle selection in the items list by updating labels of selected and unselected items and refresh the details field using the selection.

Parameters:
selection - the new selection

getDialogBoundsSettings

protected 
IDialogSettings getDialogBoundsSettings()
Description copied from class: SelectionDialog
Gets the dialog settings that should be used for remembering the bounds of the dialog, according to the dialog bounds strategy. Overridden to provide the dialog settings that were set using SelectionDialog.setDialogBoundsSettings(IDialogSettings, int).

Overrides:
getDialogBoundsSettings in class SelectionDialog
Returns:
the dialog settings used to store the dialog's location and/or size, or null if the dialog's bounds should not be stored.
See Also:
Dialog.getDialogBoundsStrategy(), SelectionDialog.setDialogBoundsSettings(IDialogSettings, int)

getDialogSettings

protected abstract 
IDialogSettings getDialogSettings()
Returns the dialog settings. Returned object can't be null.

Returns:
return dialog settings for this dialog

reloadCache

public void reloadCache(boolean checkDuplicates,
                        
IProgressMonitor monitor)
Notifies the content provider - fires filtering of content provider elements. During the filtering, a separator between history and workspace matches is added.

This is a long running operation and should be called in a job.

Parameters:
checkDuplicates - true if data concerning elements duplication should be computed - it takes much more time than the standard filtering
monitor - a progress monitor or null if no monitor is available

scheduleRefresh

public void scheduleRefresh()
Schedule refresh job.


scheduleProgressMessageRefresh

public void scheduleProgressMessageRefresh()
Schedules progress message refresh.


computeResult

protected void computeResult()

Overrides:
updateStatus in class SelectionStatusDialog

okPressed

protected void okPressed()
Description copied from class: Dialog
Notifies that the ok button of this dialog has been pressed.

The Dialog implementation of this framework method sets this dialog's return code to Window.OK and closes the dialog. Subclasses may override.

Overrides:
okPressed in class SelectionStatusDialog

setInitialPattern

public void setInitialPattern(
String text,
                              int selectionMode)

Parameters:
text - initial pattern for the filter
selectionMode - one of: NONE, CARET_BEGINNING, FULL_SELECTION

getInitialPattern

protected 
String getInitialPattern()
Gets initial pattern.

Returns:
initial pattern, or null if initial pattern is not set

protected void applyFilter()
Applies the filter created by createFilter() method to the items list. When new filter is different than previous one it will cause refiltering.


getItemsComparator

protected abstract 
Comparator getItemsComparator()
