Method Detail

findSorterForParent


ViewerSorter findSorterForParent(
Object aParent)
Return a ViewerSorter from an extension which is visible to the associated INavigatorContentService and whose parentExpression matches the given parent.

Parameters:
aParent - An element from the tree
Returns:
An applicable ViewerSorter or simple ViewerSorter if no sorter is found.

findSorter


ViewerSorter findSorter(
INavigatorContentDescriptor source,
                        
Object parent,
                        
Object lvalue,
                        
Object rvalue)
Return a ViewerSorter from an extension which is visible to the associated INavigatorContentService and whose parentExpression matches the given parent.

Parameters:
source - The source of the element.
parent - An element from the tree
lvalue - An element from the tree
rvalue - An element from the tree
Returns:
An applicable ViewerSorter or simple ViewerSorter if no sorter is found.

findAvailableSorters


Map findAvailableSorters(
INavigatorContentDescriptor theSource)
Find and return all viewer sorters associated with the given descriptor.

The commonSorter element is not required to have an id, so in some cases, an auto-generated id, using the content extension id as a base, is generated to ensure the map is properly filled with all available sorters. No guarantees are given as to the order or consistency of these generated ids between invocations.

Parameters:
theSource - A descriptor that identifies a particular content extension
Returns:
A Map[String sorterDescriptorId, ViewerSorter instance] where the key is the id defined in the extension and the value is the instantiated sorter.
Since:
3.3

INavigatorContentService.getContentDescriptorById(String), INavigatorContentService.getContentExtensionById(String), INavigatorContentExtension.getDescriptor()
