Constructor Detail

FilteredList

public FilteredList(
Composite parent,
                    int style,
                    
ILabelProvider labelProvider,
                    boolean ignoreCase,
                    boolean allowDuplicates,
                    boolean matchEmptyString)
Constructs a new filtered list.

Parameters:
parent - the parent composite
style - the widget style
labelProvider - the label renderer
ignoreCase - specifies whether sorting and folding is case sensitive
allowDuplicates - specifies whether folding of duplicates is desired
matchEmptyString - specifies whether empty filter strings should filter everything or nothing

public void removeSelectionListener(
SelectionListener listener)
Removes a selection listener from the list.

Parameters:
listener - the selection listener to be removed.

setSelection

public void setSelection(int[] selection)
Sets the selection of the list. Empty or null array removes selection.

Parameters:
selection - an array of indices specifying the selection.

getSelectionIndices

public int[] getSelectionIndices()
Returns the selection of the list.

Returns:
returns an array of indices specifying the current selection.

getSelectionIndex

public int getSelectionIndex()
Returns the selection of the list. This is a convenience function for getSelectionIndices().

Returns:
returns the index of the selection, -1 for no selection.

setSelection

public void setSelection(
Object[] elements)
Sets the selection of the list. Empty or null array removes selection.

Parameters:
elements - the array of elements to be selected.

getSelection

public 
Object[] getSelection()
Returns an array of the selected elements. The type of the elements returned in the list are the same as the ones passed with setElements. The array does not contain the rendered strings.

Returns:
returns the array of selected elements.

setFilter

public void setFilter(
String filter)
Sets the filter pattern. Current only prefix filter patterns are supported.

Parameters:
filter - the filter pattern.

getFilter

public 
String getFilter()
Returns the filter pattern.

Returns:
returns the filter pattern.

getFoldedElements

public 
Object[] getFoldedElements(int index)
Returns all elements which are folded together to one entry in the list.

Parameters:
index - the index selecting the entry in the list.
Returns:
returns an array of elements folded together, null if index is out of range.

getAllowDuplicates

public boolean getAllowDuplicates()
Returns whether or not duplicates are allowed.

Returns:
true indicates duplicates are allowed

public boolean getIgnoreCase()
Returns whether or not case should be ignored.

Returns:
true if case should be ignored

setIgnoreCase

public void setIgnoreCase(boolean ignoreCase)
Sets whether or not case should be ignored If this value is set the items should be set again for this value to take effect.

Parameters:
ignoreCase - true if case should be ignored

getMatchEmptyString

public boolean getMatchEmptyString()
Returns whether empty filter strings should filter everything or nothing.

Returns:
true for the empty string to match all items, false to match none

setMatchEmptyString

public void setMatchEmptyString(boolean matchEmptyString)
Sets whether empty filter strings should filter everything or nothing. If this value is set the items should be set again for this value to take effect.

Parameters:
matchEmptyString - true for the empty string to match all items, false to match none

getLabelProvider

public 
ILabelProvider getLabelProvider()
Returns the label provider for the items.

Returns:
the label provider

setLabelProvider

public void setLabelProvider(
ILabelProvider labelProvider)
Sets the label provider. If this value is set the items should be set again for this value to take effect.

Parameters:
labelProvider - the label provider

getAccessible
