extends Object

The WorkbenchStatusDialogManager is a utility class for displaying one or more messages (errors, warnings or infos) to the user. The dialog supplied has a Details button that opens/closes the details area. The default AbstractStatusAreaProvider displays a tree of StatusAdapters related to the selected item on the messages list. The dialog also hasa Support button that opens/closes the support area which contains the provided AbstractStatusAreaProvider. The Support button is disabled and not visible unless enableDefaultSupportArea(boolean) is invoked.

The default details area can be replaced using setDetailsAreaProvider(AbstractStatusAreaProvider)

The default support area can be replaced using setSupportAreaProvider(AbstractStatusAreaProvider) or Policy.setErrorSupportProvider(ErrorSupportProvider).

The manager can switch from a non-modal dialog to a modal dialog. See addStatusAdapter(StatusAdapter, boolean)

labelProvider - a label provider to be used when displaying status adapters.

public void setSupportAreaProvider(
AbstractStatusAreaProvider provider)
Sets the support provider. The policy for choosing support provider is:

  3. use the default support area, if enabled

Parameters:
provider - Support provider to be set.

setMessageDecorator

public void setMessageDecorator(
ILabelDecorator decorator)

This methods sets up the decorator, which is used to modify displayed strings extracted from StatusAdapter. The decorator should be used to remove technical codes from the dialog, f.e. following message "ERR2008 Invalid password" can be translated into "Invalid password".

The decorator will be applied only to messages extracted from StatusAdapter (predefined messages like "This status has children statuses. See 'Details' for more information." are not affected.

This method should not be used together with setStatusListLabelProvider(ITableLabelProvider).

Parameters:
decorator - - the decorator to be set. Only ILabelDecorator.decorateText(String, Object) method will be used. This method should return null if and only if the first argument is null. StatusAdapter is passed as second parameter. Other methods should have default behavior as they may be used in future versions of the dialog.
Since:
3.5
