public class ScrolledFormText
extends SharedScrolledComposite

ScrolledFormText is a control that is capable of scrolling an instance of the FormText class. It should be created in a parent that will allow it to use all the available area (for example, a shell, a view or an editor). The form text can be created by the class itself, or set from outside. In the later case, the form text instance must be a direct child of the ScrolledFormText instance.

The class assumes that text to be rendered contains formatting tags. In case of a string, it will enclose the text in 'form' root element if missing from the text as a convinience. For example:

  ftext.setText("<p>Some text here</>");
 
will not cause an error. The same behavior does not exist for content from the input stream, however - it must be well formed in that case.

Since:
3.0

Constructor Detail

ScrolledFormText

public ScrolledFormText(
Composite parent,
                        boolean createFormText)
Creates the new scrolled text instance in the provided parent

Parameters:
parent - the parent composite
createFormText - if true, enclosing form text instance will be created in this constructor.

ScrolledFormText

public ScrolledFormText(
Composite parent,
                        int style,
                        boolean createFormText)
Creates the new scrolled text instance in the provided parent

Parameters:
parent - the parent composite
style - the style to pass to the scrolled composite
createFormText - if true, enclosing form text instance will be created in this constructor.
Method Detail

setFormText

public void setFormText(
FormText formText)
Sets the form text to be managed by this scrolled form text. The instance must be a direct child of this class. If this method is used, false must be passed in either of the constructors to avoid creating form text instance.

Parameters:
formText - the form text instance to use.

setForeground

public void setForeground(
Color fg)
Sets the foreground color of the scrolled form text.

Overrides:
setForeground in class SharedScrolledComposite
Parameters:
fg - the foreground color

setBackground

public void setBackground(
Color bg)
Sets the background color of the scrolled form text.

Overrides:
setBackground in class SharedScrolledComposite
Parameters:
bg - the background color

setContent

public final void setContent(
Control c)
The class sets the content widget. This method should not be called by classes that instantiate this widget.

Overrides:
setContent in class SharedScrolledComposite
Parameters:
c - content control

setText

public void setText(
String text)
Sets the text to be rendered in the scrolled form text. The text must contain formatting tags.

Parameters:
text - the text to be rendered

setContents

public void setContents(
InputStream is)
Sets the contents to rendered in the scrolled form text. The stream must contain formatting tags. The caller is responsible for closing the input stream. The call may be long running. For best results, call this method from another thread and call 'reflow' when done (but make both calls using 'Display.asyncExec' because these calls must be made in the event dispatching thread).

Parameters:
is - content input stream

getFormText

public 
FormText getFormText()
Returns the instance of the form text.

Returns:
the form text instance
