-
All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDecoratedTextEditor,
AbstractTextEditor,
StatusTextEditor,
TextEditor
-
public interface ITextEditorExtension2
Extension interface for
ITextEditor. Adds
the following functions:
- modifiable state of the editor's input
- validate state of editor input
-
Since:
- 2.1
isEditorInputModifiable
boolean isEditorInputModifiable()
- Returns whether the editor's input can be persistently be modified.
This is orthogonal to
ITextEditorExtension.isEditorInputReadOnly as read-only elements may be modifiable and
writable elements may not be modifiable. If the given element is not connected to this document
provider, the result is undefined. Document providers are allowed to use a cache to answer this
question, i.e. there can be a difference between the "real" state of the element and the return
value.
-
-
Returns:
-
true if the editor input is modifiable
validateEditorInputState
boolean validateEditorInputState()
- Validates the state of the given editor input. The predominate intent
of this method is to take any action probably necessary to ensure that
the input can persistently be changed.
-
-
Returns:
-
true if the input was validated, false otherwise
