This is a skin's interface to the contents of a view or editor. Note that this is essentially the same as IWorkbenchPart, except it does not provide access to lifecycle events and allows repositioning of the part. Not intended to be implemented by clients.

Since:
3.0, 3.4 now extends ISizeProvider
Restriction:
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Method Detail

setBounds

void setBounds(
Rectangle bounds)
Sets the bounds of this part.

Parameters:
bounds - bounding rectangle (not null)

setVisible

void setVisible(boolean isVisible)
Notifies the part whether or not it is visible in the current perspective. A part is visible iff any part of its widgetry can be seen.

Parameters:
isVisible - true if the part has just become visible, false if the part has just become hidden

setFocus

void setFocus()
Forces this part to have focus.

addPropertyListener

void addPropertyListener(
IPropertyListener listener)
Adds a listener for changes to properties of this workbench part. Has no effect if an identical listener is already registered.

The properties ids are defined by the PROP_* constants, above.

Parameters:
listener - a property listener (not null)

removePropertyListener

void removePropertyListener(
IPropertyListener listener)
Remove a listener that was previously added using addPropertyListener.

Parameters:
listener - a property listener (not null)

getName


String getName()
Returns the short name of the part. This is used as the text on the tab when this part is stacked on top of other parts.

Returns:
the short name of the part (not null)

getTitle


String getTitle()
Returns the title of this workbench part. If this value changes the part must fire a property listener event with PROP_TITLE.

The title is used to populate the title bar of this part's visual container.

Returns:
the workbench part title (not null)

getTitleStatus


String getTitleStatus()
Returns the status message from the part's title, or the empty string if none. This is a substring of the part's title. A typical title will consist of the part name, a separator, and a status message describing the current contents.

Presentations can query getName() and getTitleStatus() if they want to display the status message and name separately, or they can use getTitle() if they want to display the entire title.

Returns:
the status message or the empty string if none (not null)

getTitleImage


Image getTitleImage()
Returns the title image of this workbench part. If this value changes the part must fire a property listener event with PROP_TITLE.

The title image is usually used to populate the title bar of this part's visual container. Since this image is managed by the part itself, callers must not dispose the returned image.

Returns:
the title image

getTitleToolTip


String getTitleToolTip()
Returns the title tool tip text of this workbench part. If this value changes the part must fire a property listener event with PROP_TITLE.

The tool tip text is used to populate the title bar of this part's visual container.

Returns:
the workbench part title tool tip (not null)

isDirty

boolean isDirty()
Returns true iff the contents of this part have changed recently. For editors, this indicates that the part has changed since the last save. For views, this indicates that the view contains interesting changes that it wants to draw the user's attention to.

Returns:
true iff the part is dirty

isBusy

boolean isBusy()
Return true if the the receiver is currently in a busy state.

Returns:
boolean true if busy

isCloseable

boolean isCloseable()
Returns true iff this part can be closed

Returns:
true iff this part can be closed
Since:
3.1

getToolBar


Control getToolBar()
Returns the local toolbar for this part, or null if this part does not have a local toolbar. Callers must not dispose or downcast the return value.

Returns:
the local toolbar for the part, or null if none

getMenu


IPartMenu getMenu()
Returns the menu for this part or null if none

Returns:
the menu for this part or null if none

getControl


Control getControl()
Returns an SWT control that can be used to indicate the tab order for this part. This can be returned as part of the result to StackPresentation.getTabList(IPresentablePart). Any other use of this control is unsupported. This may return a placeholder control that is only meaningful in the context of getTabList.

Returns:
the part's control (not null)

getPartProperty


String getPartProperty(
String key)
Get a property from the part's arbitrary property set.

Note: this is a different set of properties than the ones covered by the PROP_* constants.

Parameters:
key - The property key to retrieve. Must not be null.
Returns:
the property, or null if that property is not set.
Since:
3.3

addPartPropertyListener

void addPartPropertyListener(
IPropertyChangeListener listener)
Add a listener for changes in the arbitrary properties set.

Note: this is a different set of properties than the ones covered by the PROP_* constants.

Parameters:
listener - Must not be null.
Since:
3.3

removePartPropertyListener

void removePartPropertyListener(
IPropertyChangeListener listener)
