public class FormPage

extends 
EditorPart

implements 
IFormPage

A base class that all pages that should be added to FormEditor must subclass. Form page has an instance of PageForm that extends managed form. Subclasses should override method 'createFormContent(ManagedForm)' to fill the form with content. Note that page itself can be loaded lazily (on first open). Consequently, the call to create the form content can come after the editor has been opened for a while (in fact, it is possible to open and close the editor and never create the form because no attempt has been made to show the page).

Since:
3.0
